THE WoRNNG5 or THE MAINE LAW. A cor
respondent Of the Detroit Tribune. in writing
to the paper, August lst, says
dty or two ago, | received a communica-
ton from one of my friends, residing in Rock
land, in the State Of Maine, in which are some
statements in reference to the celebrated Maine
Law which thought would interest your rea-
ders. The writer of the communication is Rev.
H. c. Tilton. He is one of the prominent
clergyman in Maine, and has taken an active
part in the temperance movement. The fol-
lowing are extracts from his letter, and are
important to US, because they come from an
eye witness, on the spot where the law orig-
mated, and where it is now in operation
''ln our State, the most desperate opposition
is made by set of political demagogues-
men of desperate fortunes snd irresponsible
characters Bat thus far we mlintain our Cd
sitions. One thing | would say to our western
Fri ends, could We gain their ear. Do not ere.
dit the statements of our political papers,
which oppose our law. Such here certainly
speak falsely. The most unfiir and false state
menls are made TO prejudice the public mind.
One thingis true; The great majority of the
voters in Maine are in the favor of the law"

A correspondent Of the Times gives the fol-
lowing version Of an attempt to assassinate Ma
Poleon III:
The Emperor and Empress, accompanied by
lew members OF their household, arrived at the
Opera C1m'qIc w,thou, an escort As TIE
imperial party was mounting the stairs on
the way 10 the Emperiors box, a man mean
ly clad, who cried viOsF I Empsrsar with extra
ordinary energy, was observed by the screens
de gMe on duy to press forward through the
crowd in a mlrke1 m inner, as if en1eayoring
to approach the Emperor's person. One Of
these OFF,; r, laid hold Of him, and, findinr that
he resisted, shook him violently By the throat.
The result was that wtapon-eilher pistol
or a poniard- fell from his clothes The per-
sonages in the suite Of the Emperor, with ra-
pid perception of i'll consequences that might
ensue from announcing plot to the public,
raised the cry Of "an volesrl" and on this cry
several persons around the supposed assassin
were arrested.
The number is yariously stated. and the ex-
act truth in this respect can ofcourse only be
known from the police returns. Whether ten
or twenty were taken out on the spotis Of lit
lie consequence. Something between those
numbers is, believe, nearly correct 1t ap-
pears to be certain that on some Of these men
daggers and pistols were fonnl, The Empe-
ror and Empress, proceeded to theil box and
sat out the play, the greater part of the audi
ancc having no idea of what had taken place.
While the performances weregoing on, the pr-
soners were interroglted, and their statements
and the plp.rj foInl up)n them led to thirty
or forty more arrests in the course Of the even

The Statesman has succeeded so well in con-
vincing its own party that there is no Whig
party in the State, that the faithful followers Of
lOcofocosm begin to think there is no need Of at
tending to the election, as there is none to op.
pose their ticket; and now the veracious editors
OF that paper inl it necessary to labor dilligent-
ly to remove the false impression they have
been making. Instead of dead body, those
editors now see a living, active, intriguing"
patty, which seriously indangers the success
Of their ticket. What wonderful change
must have come over ''the late Wing party!
The dead now walks forth with renewed
strength; so stawart does it appear that its
very presence strikes dsmay to the hearts of
the young captains of Ohio Locofocoi m Are
those editors sure they are not frightened by Il
shadow? Can it be that It's necessary to call
out all the armies Of Locofocodom to war with
the names of an expired organic ltion? Had
they not better rely upon few of the Body
Guard to vanquish this illsuiou--to repe this
ghost Of Banquo? 1t cannot be necessary that
the 'hard democracy" should leave their labor
and go to the polls on The second Tuesday of
October, to vote for men for whom there is no
opposition.
Those gentleman had as well continue to ad.
wise their friends that there is no party to op.
pose-th t Their presence at the polls cannot
possibly be needed heir attendance will only
be a waste of time. Call out all your forces
TO battle with few broken fragments, and
oh wha; a very ludicCrous sight you will pre-
sent--how cowardly you will appear! Fie!
for shame! Go tell your men TO stay at home
that there is no danger--that your swords

which future experience or reflection may

q Queer Story.

We find the following in the Ports
mouth Transcript:
" a wealthy American merchant of
the city of New Orleans married a
Creole lady Of fortune, and together
with the estates and servants there
came into his possession mulatto
scamtress and her daughter, child of
seven years. The gentleman was SO
much struck with the extraordinary
bcauty!ot the Child; which had the pu-
rest Italian features and complexion.
that he resolved to save it from the
life of degradation which was before it.,
and free it and educate it. He sent
her TO a Northern school where she
remained until her sixteenth year-so
young was she when she went to the
North. Beloved by all her compan-
ions, the idol Of the institute, and ca
resscd by every one, she left to return
to the South, as she supposed to the
''roof of lsr uncle" \ young Louis
lana gentlemen, who had seen her in
Philadelphia, and. loved her, and was
beloved by her, sought her hand on
her return. The marriage day wa,
lS!xcd, the day arrived when the motheR
had haglss lone, sold away in L a
,sii1a S3lrdcr that She
might never appear as a witness
against her cl.ild, re-appcared in the
bridal hall, in tie very hour after the
ceremony had been performed, claimed
the magnificent and now miserable
bride as her own daughtcr--a bond
slave by birth, and an African by
blood The scene, as described by
one who was present, surpasscs the
power of pen to portray. That night
the bridegroom, after charging the
adopted father Of his bride with his
deception, shot himself through the
body, and disappeared, carrying no
one knew whittier, his intamy and his
bitter sorrows. The next morning the
bride was found dsiigmcd corpse, in
the superb nuptial chamber which had
been prepared for her reception. She
had taken poison Education, cul.
tivated mind and taste, which made
her sec and understand how great was
her degradation, now armed her hand
with the ready means Of death. The
unhappy planter recovered from his
wound, and moved to the North, where
he resides, buried in the deepest Sc
clusion, the residue of his years en-.
blttcrc4 by the kccncst regrets.
