SCOTS Hospital Route.

Pital. 1t is circuitous route, truly. 1t CON-
menced at Washington and run to Baltimore,
then on the lower line to Pittsburgh, and from
thence to Cleveland, GAINESVILLE, Columbus,
&c., zigzagging round to Blue Lick in Ken
tubky. This should have ended his route, for
certainly he had reached the place where the
"Hospital" was, by order of Congress, to be
located; but he curves round 70 Louisville,
thence scoots off into Indiana, and from there
he goes up to Sandusky, on Lake Erie, then
to Buffalo and Rochester, round to Albany,
New York, &c., back to Baltimore, where he
was near home; but instead of going to WASH
ington, he dashed off ION the upper line) into
Pennsylvania, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, &C.,
and came back on the route over which he
went to Pittsburgh, having made a complete
circuit.
In making this zigzag tour he made fifty
t,co speeches. The following is an extract to

9sg The democracy of this city were ably
addressed on Thursday evening last, by Hon.
j. w. bradbury of Augusta, and Hon. Geo.
T. Shepley, of Portland. Mr.. Bradbury pr o.
ceeded in his usually happy manner to contrast
the democratic with the whig policy of admin
istrating the national government, and showed
fairly and conclusively that the latter had al
ways been restrictive, while the ormer is ever
progressive. His speech was loudly applauded
throughout. -.
Mr.. Shepley vindicated in a gentlemanly
manner the character of Gen. Pierce upon the
mean and contemplate charges made by Will
ley and his whis allies and then proceeded, in
an admirable manner to dissect some of Horace
Greeley's reasons why he is whig. The no.
tions of this great high priest of whiggery suf-
fered some under the lashings of Mr.. Shep-
ley's arguments. We have not heard better
speech during the campaign, and the audience
showed their appreciation of his remarks by
repeated and deafening cheers.

The Inquisition in Maine.

Do not be startled, reader. We do not
mean to say that Roman Inquisition exists in
Maine. Not exactly. But we do mean to
say that up in Franklin County an Orthodox
Inquisition exists unde. the name of the Frank
lin Conference, which is no mean rival to that
of olden time connected with the church of
bulls and edicts.
The Franklin Conference some time ago,
issued an edict against Rev. Mr.. Fiske, of
this city, and Rev. ]. c. Lovejoy, of Cam
bridgeport, Mass. Mr.. Fiske met the decree
like an independent man, and by stubborn ar
gument handsomely floored his antagonists
Rev. Mr.. Lovejoy is just out with his rebutter.
We must present few points to our readers.
The Franklin Conference 'resolved' that
Mr.. Lovejoy was given up to the service of sin
and satan in writing sermon against the
"Maine Law" but they would pray for him
that he may be forgiven. Mr.. Lovejoy says
this c,uang and blessing give him very clear
conception of the state of the Quaker's mind,
Macy, who fled from his prosecutors and set
tied in Nantucket. When they denounced
the woes of the church upon him, and then as
sured him they would pray for him, he said,
Course as thou wilt,
Thy blessing pry'thee spare"
Mr.. Lovejoy thinks that after DIR. Shepard,
DIR. Cheever, DIR. Fessenden had issued their
Ihunders against his sermon from ''goose pas
lures" and other Enclosures, the thunder from
Franklin Conference was hardly necessary
He says
/" Did you feel, brethren, that after all these
men of eminent ability had tried their hands
upon the subject, and had failed Of refuta-
tion, (for your action is a virtual acknowledge
ment of this)-did you feel, | say, that it was
useless foI yon 10 try! If all your reasoning
had been as correct as this, you would not oc-
cnpy the mortifying position in which you
have placed yourselves before the world"
| We have not room for all the sharp thrusts
of Mr.. Lovejoy's letter. But We will copy
the close, because it evnces the real down east
"grt" and shows that Brother Lovejoy is not
the man to run away:
"I did not know that the Franklin Confer
ence had taken out letters patent, and claimed
the right to fix their 'imprmatur' upon all SER
mons, pamphlets and documents upon the
Maine Law. Where did you get your pre-
negatives of power! Are yon branch of The
Holy Inquistion.' Are church and state
united in Maine!
Now, gentlemen, call upon you, as soon
as possible, to recall your Conference, ex-
Punse your resolution, and make the honora-
Ole acknowledgement, due far more to your
selves than to me. If you decline this, then
call upon you 10 name day and place where
1 shall have hearing before the churches of
yonr county, for reversal of your hasty and
unjust Judgment. Then and there will show
l. There Is no error in the sermon.
2. That it was written with an bmest and
good intent.
3. That you had no right to pass such
resolution about any person.
a. That you had no sort of ecclesiastical
jurisdiction over me-.
If you refuss both these modes of restitu-
ton, shall pursue such other method as nv
Judgment. may determine. The offensive res
olulion will certainly be wiped out, if live" :"

STABBrSG CASE. We learn from the Hal
lowell Northern Light. that case of stabbing
came off in Chelsea on Monday week, between
two boys, in which one of them. Comfort Has
kell, was badly stabbed in the back. The diff
ficulty grew out of slight trouble in regard
to an oar Haskell and another boy were en-.
gagged in a scufiie, when third, Dalton Frost,
came up behind and stabbed Haskell with a
pocket knife in the back. just behind the
shoulder blade. And but for the fact Of the
shoulder being thrown back at the time, it
must have proved fatal. As it is, hopes are
entertained of Haskell's recovery.
Frost is but about fourteen years of age.

LoCoFoCo ARGUMENTS. Some of the Loco
foco rabble at Bath, not liking the looks of the
great Whig procession on the 10Th, commenced
stoning the banners and transparacies, and
thereby inflicted personal injury upon some of
the young Whigs-Ken Journal
Were we not aware of the steady habits of
the editors of the Journal, we should be tempt
ed to believe them to have been very much in
the situation of some of their comrades on the
above occasion. The truth of the matter is,
that the "Locofocos" in this city moested
them in no ,cay phateuer, that we have been
able to ascertain. There were considerable
disturbance and noise at the depot about the
time of the departure of the up river wings,
owing principally, we learn, to their peculiarly
happy state. We have good authority for stat
ing that the stone which destroyed one of their
transparencies, was thrown by whig boy, or
one who is growing up under strong whig in
Huences. The "Locofocos' of Bath are not in
the habit of molesting, or in any way interfer-
ing with whig meetings, Mr.. Journal. In this
statement, the wings of this city will agree
with us, we are sure.

Frightful Railroad Accident.

The Boston Journal of Monday contains the
particulars of another awful Railroad disaster r,
which occurred on Saturday morning last
AS the New York express train for Boston,
was passing on to the bridge over the canal
and Connecticut river, at Windsor Locks, in
Connecticut, about ten miles from Springfield,
rail broke, and the three last cars ran off,
breaking the trucks and tearing mp the track.
A gentleman who was on the train informs us
that the last car, containing some eighteen to
twenty passengers, broke from the train and
rolled over an embankment of about fifteen
feet into the canal, where the water was about
twelve feet deep. The car sunk gradually,
during which time, through their own exer-
tions, and of the gentlemen who leaped into
the water to their rescue, all but two of the
passengers were saved. These two young
men, supposed to be brothers, were returned
Californians. They had stated, previous to
the accident, that they were coming home un-
expectedly, for the purpose of surprising their
wives.
There were several ladies' in the car, who
were rescued by the exertions of the passen-
gers. The names of the two unfortunate
young men, were James and Daniel Billing
ton, of Kingston, R. I. One was probably
killed instantly. The absence of water in the
chest indicates it, and his head is cut terribly
IN tho ofhor fhoro
tusions, but he breathed for awhile, and hopes
were entertained that his life might be saved
One lady, the wife of Henry f. Fallon
Esq, the Spanish Consul of Boston, has Sc
we're cuts on the head. One elderly lady is Sc.
verely injured-name not stated. General
Palmer of New Haven is so much injured in
ternally as TO render his recovery doubtful.
The water is being drawn off from the cana
and the sunken car is sufficiently exposed tt
ascertain that there are no more bodies in it,
Fears, however, are entertained that there are
yet bodies in the water.
Mrs. Joseph Whitney, of Boston. had ar
arm broken and was otherwise injured.
MIR. Macon of New York, was considerably
in the head, how badly is not known.
The Rev. Mr.. Clark of Uxbridge, was Sc.
verely bruised in the hip and face, and thor
oughly drenched.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. S. Mum, of Munson, were
among those somewhat seriously injured.
The great wonder is, that no more lives were
lost

Whig Extravaganza.
Our neighbor Of the Mirror may twist

Our neighbor Of the Mirror may twist and
turn as he pleases under our charge Of extrav-
agance against the whig administration. Ev-
cry charge we have made is true-incontestibly
proved to the reason and understanding of all
honestly disposed politicians. He says the
funds paid out Of the treasury were paid by act
of Congress. 1t is mere ruse 10 escape the
point. FIFTY MILLIONS of dollars are under
the control of the erecutire depar tment of the
nation. The interest on the Galphin claim was
paid without the authority Of Congress, on the
recommendation of the whig Attorney General.
Mr.. Brooks, editor of the N. Y. Express.
(whg) said the Attorney General in recon-
mending the payment of the interest on the
Galphin claim, acted under no la,o and no pre-
cedent.
AS TO the Gardiner claim, Congress was not
the judge of its validity, but Hon. GEORGE
EVANS, Mexican Commissioner. He was ap-
pointed to that commission by the President.
The Mirror speaks of Maj. Lally as partici-
pant in the Gardiner fraud. Maj. Lally is
private citizen, and the democratic party IS not
responsible in the case. 1t is the administra-
tion that appointed the commission that is re-
sponsible, the cabinet officer that received a
portion of the "spoils," and the Commissioner
that informed Maj. Lally just ,Ohat EVIDENCE '0as
necessary to substantidte the claim.
But it is of no use to reason with man of
euch en,L;eb c;rc,r,uant;o, nc tho nditor of the
Bath Mirror. He is so forward TO defend the
whg administration that in his article on ''De-
ceiving the Public" he brings up a list of Gal
phinisms "during the last four gears" that
no person ever thought of charging to the Fill
more administration. The party for which he
labors will not be likely to thank him for
evincing such perverse ignorance with per-
verse inclination.
