The writer adds, that from their divisions, and
other circumstances, the indications are, that the
old democracy in that State, can never again
act harmonlously together"
Neither the democrats of Maine, nor any 9TH
er of the free States, can much longer act har-
monlousIy together, unless they throw overheard
their old Hunker leaders, striving to keep them,
against their consciences, in fellowship with the
South. Let them everywhere do this, and their
own Jefersonan creed will teach them in mass,
where they rightfully belong,-that with the free

says The business on the lake this season is lively
and the docks present some such scenes as those q
Buffalo present. Canada West is pouring in upor
US her wheat and flour in great abundance, and the
French Canadian hens would seem to Law two eggs \
day each, for barrels and barrels of them are con-
stantly passing over the lake, and finding a market
IN Massachusetts and New York. 1t is singular
fact, that Canada is now feeding the people of the
States with flour and eggs; yes, Canada that cold
sterile, badly husbanded country, as we have here
tofore been taught to considered it. But how little

dealer IN counterfeit money, and the source of sup
ply for Taylor and others. He after introduced
himself to Mr. Warren in the street. and repeated the
accusation IN very offensive TERMS in the presence of
several persons, some of whom suggested that he
might be mistaken. He insisted that he was right.
that he could prove his assertions and that he then
had counterfeit bills in his pocket that were in Mr.
Warren 5 possession bat few days previous. Mr.
Warren quietly told him that he had made MS
take, and left him Starkweather manifested no
disposition to arrest him, notwithstanding the posi-
tive proof of guilt he claimed to have at his command

Mr.. Warren, and writ issued for Starkweather' 5
arrest but he left for Boston before could be served
Al the trial, on Saturday, Messrs John L. King and
