PRErrY FAiR.-A Portland cores.
pondent Of the N. \. Commercial Ad-
vcrtser, tells the following anecdote CT
Gov. Hubbard Of Maine, under whose
administration the Maine Liquor law
was enacted, and who felt constrained
to sign the bill:
His personal predictions were alto
gether on tie other side, and they i'm
pu,e his support in this instance, mere
ly to the desire TO propitiate public opin-
ion. One Of the speakers at the conven-
ton told story illustrative Of this,
which is too good TO be lost. Directly
after it was known that the Governor
had determined to sign the bill, he walk
ed to the principal hotel Of the capitol
and called for glass OF liquor. ''How
is this, Governor" said the barkeeper /;
81 thought you had signed the liquor
bill 2" so have," answered he, "but
the d'H is for he peopie-the brandy and
raieI is for me-"
We trus, the Governor will be induc-
ed to let the people take care OF the bill
and he stick TO his brandy and wrter.
Such is the condition Of many Of those
in our General Assembly who voted in
favor OF the Maine Law they made the
law Tor the people, but the brandy and
water is Tor their O,cn use.

KossUTB AND Local PoLTics. We
fear iha, X ossuih, Notwithstanding his
repeated pr"tcstalons o; disinclination
to medde in the political warfare Of this
country, is exeriing a most unwarranta.
bile and mise hievous influence over the
foreign population Of New York. About
"a week since delegation OF Germans
visited kossulh, and received from him
the following advice IN relation TO their
political duties:
German Citlzens-You are strong
enough to effect the election Of that can
dida Z for the Presidency who gives the
most attention to the European cause
| find that quite natural, because be-
tween both parties there il no differ
eDce as regards the internal policy, and
because, only by the inanIiy Ofthe Ger
man citizens OF this country, the election
will be such that, by and bye, the ad-
ministratiOn will turn their attention TO
other countries, and give every nation
free scope. No tree, my German friends,
falls with the first stroke il is therefore
necessary that, inasmuch as you are
citizens, and can command your votes,
you support the candidate who will pur
sue the external policy IN our sense,
and endeavor TO effect that all nations
become free and independent, such as
is the case in happy America.
IL will be seen that Kossuth attempts
to convince the Germans many Of
whom are ignorant OF political affairs
that there is no difference between the
two great parties in this country with
regard to questions Of internal policy,
and advises them, in effect, to go with
tha: party which will go the farthest
in its interference in European affairs.
The first fruit ofthis advice was n Ger
man Kt ssu,h meeting, which was held
in the Tabernacle OH Wednesday eve
ming, at which resolutions were passed
condem ming the foreign policy OF the
Wings and upholding that Of the Dem
ocra,s. We regret that the Germans
Of New York should be deceived by the
smooth words oi deslg ming men, or the
clap.,rap Of demagogues. They have
deep interest at stake upon the man
agement OF the domestic affairs Of this
country, and if they will take pains to
study the real issues in the coming
struggle, they will soon convince them
selves that the welfare of every work
ing man is involved in the result. The
encouragement Of home industry, and
the enlargement Of the field for the EN-
ployment of labor, is Of far more coDse-
quence to our naturalized fellow citi-
zens than any abortive attempts TO re-
verse the policy Of other nations.

GEN. ScoTr IN PRlvATE LIFE. The
following extract from private letter is
published in the Ne,p York Tribune. 1t
is, judging from all we have been able
to learn faithful picture of Gen. Scott,
in the private walks of life:
In his personal intercourse, he is the
most easy and agreeable man in the
world. He makes no distinction of per-
sons-Senators, farmers, Generals, chill
dren and all fare alike at his hands
The moment you hear his voice and
catch the kind and gentle expression OF
his gray eye, you dismiss every thought
Of embarrassment and enter at once in
TO conversation as with an old and
familiar friend. In crowd of ten thou
sand men, every eye would turn in.
stnctively to him us so many magnetic
needles to the pole. OF all American
Generals, living or dead, he is uhdoubt-
edly the grea,est,-while those who
know him believe in their hearts that in
all 'he qualities Of IA great generous and
good man, he is second TO no other. He
is entirely national in all his views, and
very lar above Il at bitterness Of party
feeling which SO generally characterizes
those who are only statesmen. lie is
not, and never has been, proscriptive, as
thousands of brave Democrats who
have shared with him the rude comforts
OF the camp and the dangers and suffer
ings Of the battlefield will testify.
