Chief Engineer.
March l7th, 1854.

The New York Tribune publishes coarse
attack on this gentleman, who is representative
in Congress from The York District, on account
of his imputed intention to vote Cor ihe Nebras-
ka bill. Should that gentleman so vote, we
should regret it; but it is entirely matter be-
tween himself and his own conscience and con-
stituency and furnishes no good ground for
coarse and unjust abuse of the man and his
motives. If Mr.. Mcdonald has not made any
speeches in Congress, it was not because he has
not the ability 10 speak, and 10 speak WE'LL
He is an able and effective debater, and that he
has not consumed the time of the House by
-speechilying, ia to his credit. The abuse OF
the Tribune will do Mr.. Mcdonald no harm
either in Washington or at home.-Age.
Ii Mr.. Mcdonald intends TO vote for the Ne
braska bill, we hope he will act according to
his own convictions Of right and duty, and we
have no doubt he will. We do not believe in
the importance Of wing threats as affecting the
action ola democrat. And so far as we have
been able TO judge the democrat who always
votes opposite TO wing wishes and whig threats
generally uOtes right.

Seizure of the Black Warrior.

The steamer Black Warrior has been seized
by the Spanish authorities at Havana, and her
cargo has been coniscated and discharged.
In simple English, the Spaniards have pirated
upon the vessel and robbed her cargo.
The form of the Black Warriors manifest
was prescribed by the Spanish authorities
themselves on her first visit to Havana. She
has stopped there some thirty Eve times since
then, and has on all occasions carried the
same manifest. They have never given no
tice that any other form was required. But
on the late arrival Of the Black Warrior at
Havana, the authorities seized her, stole out
her cargo, and we suppose they still hold the
vessel. Their pretext is that her manifest
was not right.
We have suffered enough from the upstairs
Of Spanish power in Cuba Our commerce
has been hampered, and our flag insulted, and
it is high time to put stop to such insults.
We hope the day is near at hand when Cuba
shall slip out from the power of the Spanish
authority that brushes and the Spanish min
ions that infest her. The stripes and stars
should float over the Moro, and the fertile is
land come under the control of the progressive
descendants of the Anglo Saxons We shall
rejoice when the Spanish flag comes down.

Our RAILROAD. At the railroad meeting
on Saturday evening last, illusions were made
by speakers TO the course of our city papers
with reference to the Portland and Kennebec
railroad, accompanied with a pretty good
any of the remarks to ourself for we were
conscious that the course of our paper had
been such that no reasonable man could find
fault We are aware that some have wished
TO see us mixed up with the crusade waged
by other papers against this corporation, but
we have felt no inclination 10 crafty them
Tribune.
Our neighbor appropriates 10 himself good
deal of credit for keeping on the fence
There are many such characters in the world:
They wait to see how the tide turns, and then
they are with it Of course. The Tribune has a
keen faculty of seeming ego between" poll
cy; and the advancement of an independent
and manly opinion on any subject of a local
character, on which the community is divided,
has not been seen in its columns for wears.
Very true that ''no reasonable man can find
fault with the course of that paper, for the
citizens know it never had any. AS for our
self, we generally speak out our mind freely
on all subjects, without waiting to get an ex-
act guage of public opinion and if ''censure'
comes, let it come. We shall take it in GOOD
part, but stick to the truth through evil as
we'll as good report.

Report Of Chief Engineer Of she Fire
DePa rtment.

Report of Chief Engineer Of she Fire
DePa rtment.
To the Hon. Mayor, Aldermen and Common
Council for the City of Bath:
BY the Ordinance regulating the Fire De.
partment, it is the duty of the Chief Engineer
10 report to the Government the condition oil
the Department, the number of fires, with the
losses resulting iherefrom. In accordance
with this duty, present the Annual Report.
The losses by fire, the past year, have been
but trifing. The Department has been called
out but five times, rs follows:
March 5th--S. ID. Haley's house, CONNER
cial street. No damage.
April IOth-Wm. Whitney's shop, Cove 8
wharf. Damage trifing.
April 28ih-C. & w. d. Crooker's house,
Water street. Damage triaing.
July l8-Mrs. Merrill's house, Middle st.
No damage. .. ....
Feb. LIST, ls54-Wm. Rogers & Sons ship
yard. Damage trifing.
II is believed that the whole damage by fire,
the past year, will not come up 10 the sum of
one hundred dollars.
It was supposed, and the opinion was ex-
pressed, that our Fire Companies, having so
little TO do, would be likely to let their Engines
get out Of order; but such is not the case
There has been no time to my knowledge, hut
that the whole force Of the Department was in
a situation TO do immediate and effective SER
vice. The monthly meetings have been fully
attended by the members, and the trials Of En-
gines have always shown that they were in
good condition, and the idea has been prevalent
among the firemen that we had been so fortu-
nate, and for SO long time, that we must look
for change, and be in constant preparation to
meet it. In closing, | would take the liberty
TO suggest TO the City Council the propriety of
enrolling the Companies for ten months. the
coming year, so that, if thought best, the Fire
mems year can be made 10 terminate with the
Hher Departments.

Orr THE TRACK. The engine Brunswick,
connected with the first passenger train from
Augusta, ran off the track under the Vaughan
Street Bridge in Hallowe1 on Monday morn
ing. During the cold weather of Sunday, the
water had formed a bed. of: ice two inches
thick on the track, covering both rails. The
engine, with the steam shut off ON down
grade, left the track before emerging from the
bridge, clearing the timber abutment about q
foot, and plungiRg into the snow and ice, rar
up the bank clear of the road without drag
ging the passenger cars from the track. She
was smashed to the tune of about $1,000. II
she had struck the abutment, she would prob
ably have brought down the bridge, which was
constructed with a view TO cheapness princi
pally, and is rather frail affair. If the &C
cident had happened ten rods further back o.
ten rods ahead the whole train would have
gone down an embankment of fifty feet or less

New Hampshire.

After the most determined and desperate eff
forts by the wings and abolitionists, and what
few traitors to the democracy could be found
in New Hampshire, the democracy of that no
bic State on Tuesday of last week put the
whole force of the opposition, streaked, striped
and grey, to complete flight. BAKER, (dem.)
is elected Governor by over 400 majority over
all others-rHREE of the five Councillors chos-
en- are democrats-EIGHT democratic Senators
are chosen Of the twelve. and the opposition
have elected only one. in the abolition district
and there will be a democratic majority in
the House of some fifteen or twenty. Two
Senators are to be chosen to the u. S. SEN
ate by this Legislature.
The democratic majority is considerably
less than last year. This was expected, for
the democrats of that State have had to- con-
tend against the combined assault of whiggery,
freesoilism, abolitionism anG political temper
ance-ism. :. 80 - -, ~t
Tuck and Hale have both operated in stir
ring up the elements of discord, by receptions
of every kind. The Nebraska bill, Maine
law, and all other agencies likely to produce
dssension or alienation among the democrats,
have been used for that purpose, and the wing
papers before the election actually began to
talk about great revolution coming off in
New Hampshire. Nobly has the Democracy
of New Hampshire met and yanquished the
opposition, and given another testimonial of
its fidelity to him who, at the helm Of the Re-
public, guides and guards the nation with
high honor to himself and his native State.
New HAMPSHIRE is RIGHT!
