remained away from the polls altogether Delega
tiops reported TO have beea present from all
parts of the State This fact alone proves the

wings to give their votes for man Of their own
shoiee-one whom they have tried, and in whom
they feel that they place the most implicit con-
fdsnce. What are the Webster men Of New York

their allies elsewhere doing so much!

If his friends wherever he goes should salute him
in the same way they did last evening, his trip is

The State Alliance Of Temperance assembled Mt
Utica yesterday, ard resolved that it expedient
10 secure the passage OF the Maine Liquor Law, in
order to effect which, they must have both men and

The report SAYS that there were only about forty
men in attendance The result Of the recent Maine

Legislature. Much excitement relative to land
titles exists in New Mexico, and IL is feared that
unless the government takes steps TO allay i'll feel

But by far the worst part ofthe intelligence Is, that
the Ell Paseo Indians have recently killed many emil
grants Unless active and energetic measures are
