UNPOPULAR LEGISLATION.

The Boston Courier says that the Legislation
ofMane appears to have left behind it any thing
but the odor Of popularity. One OF its earliest
transactions was the enactment OF the famous
liquor law, which was passed as Legislative
joke, NTH the IDEA hat the Governor ,oas TO ret0
IT, while the Governor, not relishng such lests,
quietly PIT his name to the document, upon the
principle that "cvery tub should stand ON its
own bottom Their next "iuke,' however,
was rather a cruel one upon the people of the
State. They changed the time Of the political
year, thus in effect re elccting themselves to an
other session of the Legislature, and perpe'u-
ating their valuable services and their wise and
skillful legislation for another year These are
| thc most important acts of their first session.
| The second session has recently been brought
to close, and, il we may believe the news
paper of the State, it is the only good thing
which can be said Of the Legislature and its
doagS, There appears to be single grumbe
at the Who'll" body, from one end OF the State to
the other. 1t has apportioned the State for
Congressman and Legislature 50 that n body is
sat.zied except those fortunate individuals who
have had districts cut out for them, in order that
their talents and intelligence shall not be here
after lost TO the people Its local Legislation is
as unpopular as its general legislation. Bangor

ed to subscribe to railroad westward, in their
corporate capacity, and Portland sympathizes

navigation Gardiner and Hallowel have had
slices cut nut of them for the purpose of forming
the new town of Farmingdale, and they cry out
against it as one of the most unjust pieces OF
legislation ever performed The towns in Som
crset and Kennebec counties wanted a railroad
