Mr.. Van Buren,.

Que of the drollcries of John Wentworth is
going the rounds of the Wing papers-of the
purport, that if the friends of Gen. Cass would
withdraw him as Presidential candidate, he
long Johns authorized to withdraw Mr.
Van Buren,, by way of ''harmonizing The Dem
ocratic party" The memory is to be sure
not among all people the strongest of the po-
lilical faculties some things are strangely for
gotten, or misrecollected but somehow or
other we had the Impression that Mr.. Van Bu-
rem voluntarily Withdrew from the party three
years ago; ard did not go alone, but drew off
in his company a sufficient detachment 10 over
throw the regular candidate of the party, and
to insure atriumph TO the Wings. Mr.. Van
Buren, was the Free Soil" candidate of 1913;
and it lies with him and his friends 10 say
whether he will be so again. As he has not
manifested his return to the Democratic ranks,
it is difficult to Withdraw him from the list of
Democratic caudijates Most of them who Sc
ceded in IS4S, we believe have returned, or
become Wings, or are now near to the confines
of Whiggery. The movement of Mr.. Van
Buren,, against his friends in AS, was one OF
the most unexpected events tina: ever occurred
in American politics. Considering the great
honor and confidence bestowed upon him by
the Democracy, his previous opposition 10 the
leading measures of the Free Soil party, and
his well known caution, he was almost the last
man in whom the intention of opposing the
regular Democracy could have been suspected.
His course was deeply regretted; and has
borne its fruits TO his old friends and support
ers. II it should have the farther effect Of
producing regret in himself, and of leading
him TO the candid expression of it to them, his
self-estimate at the period of honest and final
retrospectiou to his political career could not
fail TO be relieved from otherwise unextin-
guishahle regrets.

Whiggery as it is.

Every effort was made by the wings in Ohio
to defeat the Democratic Constitution. One OF
their circulars was brought to light, and pub
lished. 1t is of the genuine Agerine stamp
We make a few extracts from the Ohio States
man, to show that whiggery is every where the
same.
[" STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL"
- -, ESQ.,"
The new Constitution must be defeated at
all hazard, cost what it may. The safety OF
the banks and the good of the State demand,
and no effort must be spared. See the Di-
rectors and stockholders of your bank at once
privately, and put them on the right track
The Board Of Control will meet soon. when
means (nsoney) will be provided, and the most
feasible plan adopted to insure the defeat of
this late locofoco humbug. just on the eve
of the election the enormties of the new Con-
stitution will be opened, and the people n ade
to see a humbug devil under almost every
clause and section. In the meantime strictly
organize and drill the Wings. Make them be-
feve that 1t is lawyers Constitution, made
by lawyers, and for the sole benefit of lawyers.
At least two thirds of the lawyers of the State
being interested in banks and corporations,
will vote against the new Constitution, and
their influence will not be small. Far better
that the farmer and laboring man pay the hole
OF the State debt, than do without Banks.
CT" The very worst feature of this new
Constitution is its making almost every office
elective by the people. The People are not fit
to elect their judges, and their State offers

A. & Z. Railroad.

The annual meeting Of the A. X. Railroad
Co., was held at Lewiston on Tuesday last
The following Directors were chosen will
liam Goodenow, of Portland Edward Crane,
of Boston; William c. Taber, of New Bedford;
Arson P. Morrill,. of Readfeld Samuel Tay-
lor, Jr., Of Fairfield r. B. Dunn, of Water
vile; Benjamin E. Bates, of Boston. ... T.
The Lewiston Journal says the report of the
Directors is not as fattering in pecuniary
point of view as the interest of the stockhold-
ers would lead them to desire. The cost of
constructing the road amounts to $500, no.
06, nearly double the original estimate. The
report Of the Directors shows that the road
has not earned enough to pay the interest on
its cost of construction, by something near
$4,000 One of the causes assigned for the
deficiency is that a large portion of the receipts
have to be divided with the A. & St. Law
renee road. Considerable feeling has grown
out of this subject, and resolution was passed
authorizing the Directors to offer the A. & St.
Lawrence Company, 81 cents for passengers.
and SO cents per ton for freight. from the juno
ton to Portland, and if not acceded to in 60
days, that a Committee (Which was raised)
procure signatures to petition for new road
to join at Gorham or Saccarrappa. e

Give your Boys a Trade.

With the exception of those who are physi-
cally unable to obtain a livelihood BY corporal
labor. and few who may be specially designed
to fill the learned professions, all boys ut the
age of fifteen-having previously acquired a
thorough common school education should be
put to some useful trade. No parent is faith
full TO his sons, or looks we'll to their future
prosperity. who suffers them to grow up with
out an early designation of some business 10
which they seem best capacitated, and an ed
ucation especially adapted to qualify them for
it, lie who arrives at the age OF manhood
without trade. as a mechanic, farmer, or
without profession, is set ahoat on the un-
certain sea of life without any destination in
view, without rudder, compass, or any of the
outfits necessary to successful cruise. He is
sent forth into society as a mere loafer-an in
jury. pest.
1t would be well, even, for boys intended as
lawyers, doctors, ministers. &c., to acquire a
trade. Should they succeed in either of those
professions, they would meanwhile find much
convenience in knowing how to cultivate the
earth, or TO use tools; but should they not
succeed, trade would be of vast importance
