.esasr Campaign PapeEd Bdila
We learn BY 2 circular issued at
Columbus, thatla '.Maine Law Advo,
cate" is to be published q. the capital
beginning on the 6rst Wednesdayin
June and terminating after the elec-
ton in October. It is to be devoted
especially to the advocacy Of law of
prohibition, and viii have reference to
the fall elections. We do not find
fault with this movement, for the more
light there is shed upon the great sub.
ject the better, but we do not see the
necessity Of II. The Organ can be
furnished lower than the "AdUOOatsH
during the campaign, either to indivi.
duals or clubs, and as the Organ has
now a large circulation, the brethren
at Columbus, If they have any excel7
lent thoughts upon the subject, had
better make our paper the medium Of
communication. As the movements
4 purely benevolent one, we think it
ill.advised, attended as 1t necessarily
will be, with very considerable trouble
and expense. So far as we are adyi-
sed the course Of the Organis approx
ed, and we do not really see how the
Columbus sheet can give more facts
and figures on the subject Of the Maine
Law, than we are disseminating from
week to week. Besides the Organ,
there is the Life Boat at Portsmouth,
a most excellent temperance paper and
worthy of very large patronage.
There is another at Cleveland, deYo-
ted to the same great theme. Temper
ance men have greatly erred in at
tempting to multiply their number Of
journals. Better in our judgement to
throw all our strength into those al
ready in existence, than exhaust that
strength in increasing the number. II
4 the "AdYOcate" goes on, we shall
wish it sniebundant success andashall
welcome itinto the common field b
labor. The circular says, "that q
portion Of the matter will be contribut.
ed by some Of the most active and
jealous temperance advocates in the
State" We have repeatedly solicited
such to aid us in our laborious task
and for what they have done, we heart

liOur readers win notice theycall Of
the State Executive COMMITTEE iOt .
Convention at Columbus, on the 2sth /
instant. We need not say that this
will be an important meeting, for the
friends Of temperance throughout the
State are aware of the fact. The
number who shall attend, and the
unanimity Of sentiment which shall
characterize the meeting, will have
powerful inhence on the result OF the
fall election. We know that the efec-
tive work is to be done in school dis
tricts, wards, townships and counties,
butthe spirit Of enthusiasm and conf
dencl. inspired at the State Cenven-
ton, will be infused into every locali-
ty. Friends, remember if we do not
succeed this fall, we have not another
opportunity at thepolls for two years,
and in the mean time, the liquor traf-
fc will riot upon the peace and well
being Of society. Let not the expen7
diture of money and time inciden;
upon attending the meeting at Colum-
bus, keep you away. Your country
demands of you this small sacrifice,
and ultimately you may be satisfied
that it was the best outlay Of few
dollars and a few days that you ever
made. Make the investment, as it
promises to yield thirty, sixty, and
1--WE hope, an hundred fold. Peo-
pie Of Ohio, come up in your strength
to the Capitol Of your noble State, and
show that you are determined, at
whatever sacrifice Of personal incon-
venience or party ties, to purge your
State of that running ulcer, the liquor
traffic. Do not be cotented by send
ing delegates where it can be avoided,
but come yourselves and do your own
\ work. Let every county be fully rep
resented. Come up, and make ar
rangements to have every locality
fully canvassed before the October
election. You are the power behind
the throne, and at your bidding every
arm of government will be extended

from the ravages Of the cruel ant
merciless invader.

luton has been re-afiirmed in many
county Conventions since, and itseems
to be the general wish Of temperance
men MOTTO attempt any thing further
at this time. While the Editor, per.

Of the majority, and in his place as
Editor, will attend specially to the
cases Of the Senators and Representa-
tives, The Lieut.. Governor, in the
case Of tie on any question in the
Senate, gives the casting vote, and his
position as President of the Senate,
gives him a great influence in that
body. We do not consider it a de-
parture from the course indicated by
the Temperance Convention, to refer
to the candidates for the Office Of
Lieut.. Governor, and we are the more
inclined to do it, from the well known
and well defined positions of the two
i prominent men before the people.
Lester Bliss was a member Of the last
/ Legislature, and showed his hand and
his heart on the subject Of legal pro-
hibition. When the Assembly was
pressed by 100000 petitioners to en-
act such law, and the subject was
being discussed, Mr.. Bliss made a
speech against the bill, or rather in
favor of excepting "sheep sOashing
days" from the operations of the law,
believing, as he said, that liquor was
Essential to the health" at "skesp.
scaskings." The design was evidently
to pour ridicule upon the whole sub
ject, and was direct and gross insult
to the temperance men and women Of
the State. Is there temperance man
in Ohio, who has any self-respect, who
can pocket this insult, and go and
vote for Lester Bliss to preside over
the Senate of Ohio. a II.
Dr.. Allen, the other prominent can
didate, has been, for years, an earn.
est, eloquent, unfinching advocate o.
the great temperance reform. Pub
licly and privately, he has borne hi'
testimony against the blighling curse
of grogshOps. Our surprise is great
that man SO much identified will
temperance, should have received
the nomination of his party. It mus
have been purely accidental, for it i
manifest from some other candidate
on the same ticket, that there was n
design to favor temperance.
We will not be charged with al
tempting to aid the election of ALE
because he is whig, or Opposin
Bliss because he is a democrat, afte
: giving the above facts in relation
their public course. We would d.
serve to be called a dishonest me-

Important from San Juan.

To prevent, the possibility of false impression from
telegraphic despatch in another column, we deem il
proper to give authentic version OF certain recent
transactions of the authorities OF San Juan de Nicaragua
in respect to the property and buildings Of the Accessory
Transit Company From reliable source we learn that
these the facts OF the case
In the month of February the municipal council OF
San Juan, in consequence OF some dispute with the
Nicaragua Transit Company, passed order for the
demolition of the depot and buildings OF the company
situated Punta Arenas opposite the city, This order
partially carried into effect on the 2lst OF Feb
ruary Meanwhile, the 10th OF March, the Uni
ted States soop of-war Cyane, Captain George N.
Hollins commanding, arrived at San Juan, under
orders to cruise in that vicinity. Immediately Cap
tain Hollins was served with protest from the
agent Of the Transit Company against the order OF the
council OF San Juan, and with request to protect its
property from further depreciation Accordingly, he de
spached Lieutenant, Green with remonslrance TO the
council against any additional outrage on the property of
the Transit Company but the council replied tina, they
would complete the destruction Of the buildings at eleven
O'Clock the next day, nth Of March. Capt Hons
then made proes, in person the council asain.t their
threats but with better result Learning that the people
Of Nicaragua proceeding to the destruction Of the
buildings OF the company, he despatched detachment
OF marines for their protection Being forbidden by the
guard TO disturb the buildings, the Ncaaguans desed
from their purpose and dispersed. In consequence OF
their repulse the council OF San Juan abdica,ed their
functions. Captain Hollins deemed il necessary 10 con-
nue the protection Of the companys property; and on
the application OF an American citizen who had suffered
some ourages from the Ncaraguans he issued procla
nation warning them in no to modest the persons
or property OF foreigners resident in San Juan
This is correct version of the affair. from which il
will be seen that the cosduc OF Captain HoIlins was
characterized by commendable promptness energy, and
