M1ssouRI.-The message of Gov. King is
very implicit upon the compromise measures
passed by congress. He says the conduct of
the abolitonists is such as to excite Just appre-
tensions for the stability of the Union. That
the people of the slave-holding states will in
sist upon rigid execution of the law for the
recapture of fugitive slaves. That it is only
the constitutional right of the South, of which
they cannot be, deprived while the constitution
and the Union shall stand He looks to the
patriotism of the North TO hush the elements
of discord. On the subject of slavery there is
but one safe course-non-in terventon-and no
agitation by the general government. Seces-
sion can only be claimed as principle which
lies at the foundation of our political existence,
when oppression becomes intolerable and revo-
luton is the only remedy. When this shall be
attempted, the President shall have no other
alternative than to use the force of the govern

SHIP CANAL BETWEEN THE ATLANTIC AND
PACIFIc.-The report that the company Tor
the construction of canal i'll the territory OF
Nicaragua TO connect the two OCEANS were
doing nothing in furtherance of that object,
is now conlradicted. Surveys are said TO he
made of four distinct routes; and one OF
these which has been selected, offers in the
opinion OF the engineers, greater facilities
for the construction OF ship canal than was
expected to be found there by the company
when they commenced operations. The
public will be gratified TO learn that the pros
pect Of this work is fair 10 succeed, and that
the canal is about TO be constructed. Anoih-
er object OF the company is, TO prepare line
for the transportation OF passengers by the
way of the San Juan river and the Nicara-
qua lake TO and from the Pacific. The rocks
and rapids in the river present some obstruc-
tions but the rocks can be blasted, and the
rapids can be overcome by steamboat as it
has been already ascertalned. Indeed, il is
stated, that the boats are nearly ready for
completing the line from New York 10 San
Francisco, and that in Two months, passen-
gers will be taken TO go through on this
route.

Bath and Rockland Railroad.

The people besween this city and Rockland,
are agitating the question Of connecting the
fourshinC towns in the eastern part of this
County, with the rest of the world, by rail-
road. The Lincoln Democrat saws -
In common with our fellow citizens in other
places, the people in this vicinity are talking
seriously about the road from Bath to Rock
land. We hear it spoken oil every day, and
discussed with great zeal and determination
They feel. as far as we have heard the subject
mentioned, that the road would be of great
benefit to this County. Weiregard the build
ing of the road as all important, and its speedy
completion very necessary. Our people, in
examining this matter, must not only consider
the importance ofihe road to the towns on the
route in increasing their population, and in
originating and expanding their business, but
also the proportional advantage which would
necessarily accrue to every place in the vicini-
ty. 1t would open new and quick markets for
the products of the farmers, and the work
shops all about. 1t would develope new
sources of wealth and public good, and render
productive privileges which are now nearly
worthless.
No road has been built or proposed, which
has more thriving towns or more energetic
people living upon it, than this lower route
That it will be first rate paying road, there
is not shadow of doubt. If ever there wa:
any necessity or encouragement to build any
road in the country, it can be found here
The County needs the road, and it must bt
built, and we hesitate not to say, it will be

VERMONT AND VIRGINIA.-Vermont having

and in violation of the Constitution Of the I'm

consistency in a more glowing light, certain
resolutions were passed at the same session of
the legislature in favor Of peace, copy of
which was sent to each of the states. In pass
ing upon the peace resolutions Of Vermont, the
House of Delegates in Virginia, in view of the
notification law of Vermont, thought proper to
direct that the government of Virginia would
decline considering the resolutions relative to
the peace of the world, until Vermont should
show herself more careful of the peace Of the
Union.

AID AND COMFORT TO THE ENEMY Ex-
Governor Young, of New York, made in his
late speech at the Irving House many impor-
tant structures upon the politics of that State,
and of the whole country In one of them we
fully agree. In speaking of the necessity of
maintaining the Constitution and the laws, he
remarks sit was apparent at the time, that
the length of the war with Mexico depended
upon the tone of public opinion in this coun-
try. If Mexico could be assured that there
existed in this country divisions Of opinion that
would weaken our power in prosecuting that
war, it was apparent to every observer that it
would perpetuate the war. 1t is matter of
history that accounts of differences of opinion
in the United States, in regard to that war,
were read by the Mexican generals TO their ar
my, and that they gave strength 10 the enemy"
Years have since gone by. Meantime other
events have been recorded. The same divi-
sions that existed in the time of the Mexican
war still remain. And the danger to the
country from that quarter is greater now than
it was at any former period. 1t was on this
account we were pleased to see that SO many
