by Mayor Dow. reached town on Friday, just
after the passage Of the bill.
The temperance men have now law-that
is, if it is not vetoed by the Governor-wilh as
stringent provisions as they could wish or hope
for. Whether it will be made to subserve the
cause Of temperance, remains to be seen. I'm
der judieious counselings, it may be made to,
but errors may be committed in the admins
tering of it which will be fatal to the success
of the cause, as well as the bill The united
and unrarering support Of erery temperance man
is necessary for the enforcement of the law
In some communities its immediate enforce
ment cannot be expected, for the public senti-
ment may not be prepared for it. At the
most, it is but an experiment, which temper
ance men, generally, have declared themselves
willing to see tested. Mr.. Dow stated before
the Committee, that with this law he would
promise to have every rum shop in Portland
closed by the first of next January-if he but
half keeps bis word he will have accomplished
great work. He has the hearty good wishes
of every true temperance man, that he may
succeed.
On Friday afternoon session of the Senate
was held, and the Washington contested case
was taken up and further discussed by Messrs.
Leavitt, Cary and Bell. By vote of 10 to IA,
the further investigation of the case was post

do''n that which their opponents were accom-
Plshlng. So too, IN 80 the same course on
the part of the wings is discoverable. The
chief claim Of their nominee and upon which
his chances of success were based. was that he
was no-parfy man, and that he neuer tsreU a
rote IN his hei The National Bank and a
High Tariff had both become obsolete IDEAS,
and in reality, there was but one object TO be
gained, and that was po,Ur that they might
control the public plumber.
Their plans were successful, so far as the
election of the President and Vice President
was concerned, but the two branches Of Con-
gress exhibited indubitable evidence that demo-
cratic principles had not been defeated by the
defeat of the democratic nominees for these
Offices. The administration, unfortunately,
was limited 10 the carrying into effect of but
single idea-a pretty prominent one, however
that of "rewarding its friends" 1t had no
particular policy to carry out--no one wanted
National Bank, and the father Of the Gamer
lean system" had expressed his satisfaction in
the democratic tariff of '46. The question
then became pertinent one-What are whig
principles, Our Tribune neighbor seeks to
enlighten us in the paragraph from Gov. Hub
bard's message. which we append;
1.-The truth is, Gov. Hubbard has, in his
recent message, Notwithstanding he holds his
present high Office BY Locofoco votes, given
much evidence that he is, IN many respects,
Wing, and it must be source of cOngratula-
ton and encouragement to all true Wings, 10
find sentiments which they have long believed
and contended for, sentiments which have so
recently been advanced by the Wing press and
combatted by the Loco press, at last endorsed
and urged upon the Legislature by the Gov
ernor, although that high functionary is nomi-
nally Democrat.
Now the only question to determine is,
whether Gov Hubbard has gone over to the
whig party or whether the wing party has
come over to him The fact is, the message
of Gov. II. is so strong and sensible docu-
ment that it can but receive the favorable com
mendation of all parties.
We have no particular objection to the wing
party stealing our name, as the democratic
wings of New York have done, if by So do
ing, they can appear respectable-but we do
protest against their claiming our Governor,
after We have been to the trouble of electng
him. Although wings may endorse democrat
ic sentiments, and declare that certain demo-
Gratis are good whgs, one thing is pretty GER
tain, that democrats never care TO aspire to the
position of being mouth pieces of wing sent-
menis, nor of stealing the name of wings.

Whiggery defined, at last,

Since the year 1910, when ,chig principles
were embodied in coon-skins, hard cider, and
log cabins, it has required considerable of an
erpert TO define the nature, or to give any idea
of what these principles are. To be sure, in
l644, Mr.. Clay was nominated as their stand
ard bearer, and he was known to he the father
Of the protective system, and an advocate of
National Bdnk-but these questions were no,
made issues in that campaign. The policy of
the wing party, since its formation, has been
of negative, rather than of a positive charac-
ter This is attributable, in some degree, un-
doubleday, to The circumstance that il has been
for greater portion of the time, in the minor
ity, and having no opportunities to carry out,
was consequently deprived of all inducements
to originate particular governmental policies.
They have had, therefore, but one course to

ca Complaint is made that the small steam
boats on the river will net stop to take passen-
gers who put out in boats for that purpose
One gentleman informs us that he attempted to
get on board the Lawrence,in Merrymeeting Bay
at two or three different times, but was passed
by, no notice being taken of him. Probably the
captains of these boats have directions thus to
do. Whether they have or have not. however,
we care not but there are number of persons
engaged in numbering on the river between this
city and Richmond, and the rejection of pas
sage,-as in the present case, -spbjecis them to
serious inconvenience. We would suggest to
the propretors of the river boats, whether the
public wants do not require an arrangement on
their part to meet such cases as the above, even
though it may be found necessary to demand
extra fare. a.

Several persons, who feel an interest in the
settlement OF the public lands of Maine, have
suggested the following: =
lst. That when the settlement of town
ship by at least fifteen families can be obtained,
or satisfactorily secured, the State shall deed
100 acre lot to each family. to be exempt
from State and County taxes for five years, and
TO be exempt from attachment for twenty years
3 That in such case, the State shall build
the roads necessary for the accommodation of
the settlers. and aid in the construction of saw
mills and gristmills, one mill of each descrip-
ton to a township. except where mill would
accommodate two or more townships the aid
to be in the shape Of loan, or by building and
leasing.
On this plan, the State would find a direct
return for the money expended in the sale of
the lots not donated, and an indirect return.
in the more rapid development of the resources
of the State.

PAINFUL AFFAIR The Laurence Courier
says that two brothers named Nelson, residing
in Derry, n. H., got into dispute on last Sun
day night, when one of them threw pair of
bellows at his brother as he was leaving the
room The nose of the bellows struck the
others head just above the ear, penetrated the
temporal bone, and entered more than two
inches into the brainl The bellows remained
in the wound until the assailant stepped up and
drew them out saying, There, meant TO Kill
you!' On Thursday the injured man was
still alive, but no hopes were entertained of
his recovery.

John B. Swanton, formerly Of this town died
at Dresden on the first day Of June, 1901. lie
was born in this town on the 29th day OF May.
A. ID. 1872, and al the early age OF sixteen was
appointed an officer in the Customs from that
time Till the year 1929, with the exception OF
about two years. he continued in the ONCE,
filling the offices Of Inspector, Welgner. Uaager
and Measurer--Deputy Collector and Collect
or, and In the year 1919 represented this town
in the Legislature then held in Massachusetts
After retiring from the office, he settled up
On a farm in Windsor, where he resided about
eighteen years, and represented that town two
years In the State Legislature-thence he re-
moved to Dresden, his last place OF residence,
that he might be nearer his native town, and
oftencr with his children. his brother, and the
friends of his earlier days.
In the year 1915, his attention was seriously
drawn TO the consideration of duty to his
Heavenly Father; and feeling deeply sensible
of the Importance of regulating his future life
more in conformity with His commandments.
he publicly signiied his resolution so to do by
submitting to the holy ordinance of Baptism,
and becoming member Of the Calyanist Bap-
tist Church-and in that relation he continued
about twenty-six years, until the year 1888,
when he was led to examine the doctrines of
the New Church, as explained in the writings
of Emanuel Swedenborg. He became affec-
tionatcly interested i'll them, and in the year
1899, signifed his belief in them by uniting
with the Bath Society of the New Church. To
the hour of his decease he continued member
of the New Church-expressing in the most
emphatic language, his belief in its doctrines
as truths revealed by the Lord Jesus Christ.
his only God and Saviour. and that he should
experience their realities in an immediate and
r,ore perfect Resurrection. He lived an exem-
plary Christian life filling all his relations to
the church and society wherever he went, with
general confidence and appreciation -he was a
father to the fatherless. and the widows guide
and counsellor. His house was always the
welcome abode of all who profcssed to love the
Lord and keep His commandments hand
was ever open to the poor and needy, and the
stranger was never sent away empty.
