and turned our unfortunate con al over to one
of bis deputies, Mr.. Wa dron. But this time
Mr. Young made up his mind to lAy she whole
matter before he Secretary of the Trea ury,
and he therefore repaired to Washington, and
stated his case.
The result Of these proceedings has been the
issuing Of instructions to Mr.. Reddcld, dire niog
hicl to hold himse { responsible that no more

certified to by the consul The bark Venus ID
daily expected, and we will see whether these
instructions will now be carried out and the
cargo locked up until the laws are complied
with.
Mr. Guthrie, however, does not fulfil his
duty in simply directing that for the future
the snbordiRates in the Custom House shall
not violate the law Of the land. An investiga-
ton should be had into their previous conduct,
and the charges Of fraud made by NJ.
Young, should, in Justice to all parties, be
probed to the bottom.
It is q little singular that whilst the Neither
lands government have heretofore refused
10 recognise oonsuls and commercial agents,
they, at the same time, expect and enjoy
al toe advantages and protection to their
commerce in the establishment Of consulates
IL The United States, and their recognition by
our government. Mr.. Zimmerman, the Dutch
Consul General, and his vice consuls, claim the
,igat TO hold all the papers Of the vessels of
their country arriving in our ports, and the
consular certificate is appended to all their in
voices. A commercial treaty, OF prcjet, has
been drawn up between the government Of the
Hague and Mr.. Belmont, which, it is under
stood, provides for the future for the mutual
recognition Of consuls and, if contaminated,
it viii DO much towards removing the difficulties
which have heretofore existed in the trade with
the Netherlands colonies. Mr.. Marcy intends
to send the projet back to have certain amend
ments made TO it, and it is expected it will be
submitted to the Senate for ratification early
next winter. 4 doubt is expressed, however,
whether it covers the whole ground. The
country will expect in any arrangement, that
Holland will place herself in as liberal
position as the United States have always oc-
cupied; and if, in order to obtain that end,
total cessation Of intercourse is for q time ne
cessary, it will be more satisfactory than the
present state Of things, which openly winks at
fraud and is carried on through the connivance
Of Custom House officials, who treat the law
and their instructions with contempt.
Mr.. YouDg's course does not appear to have
met the appreciation of the traders in Curacao
or this city, as we learn that petitions have
been sent to Washington for his removal. 1t is
very natural, under all the circumstances that
the Consul should have fallen under the ban Of
these parties; but with all their influence the
government viii scarcely be induced to remove
an efficient officer for doing his duty, and
endeavoring to enforce a due respect for his
instructions.

European immigrants per annum arriving in
the United States, in our estimates of the crops,

however, easily settled. The European aces.

upon its population, will cheaper bread there

the brig Mary Adeline sailed for New York on

bark Venus, neither vessel having complied

Consul, having certified to their invoices. Mr..
Young, nothing daunted by the failure Of his

Hon. George ROGERS.

Nothing we can say in commendation of
the gentleman who has just received the nom
inatlon for Congress from the Fourth District,
will add anything to the high reputation he
enjoys in this portion Of the District. The
democrats of Lincoln County have known him
long and well, and they know the new Coun-
ty of Sagadahoc does not contain more de-
cided, straightforward and reliable democrat
within IFS limits. He may not be 50 well
known IN other portions of the District but
we can assure the Democracy of Kennebec
and Somerset that our candidate is worthy of
your exertions in his favor and your votes.-
Mr.. Rogers is an independent farmer of Tops
ham, and one of the best farmers in that Sec
lion. We have long had the privilege of an
intimate acquaintance with him, and have
often partaken of his generous hospitality and
noted his steadlast adherence to the democrat
ic principles and measures of Andrew Jack
son, in the favored opportunities we have en-
joyed of interviews at his pleasant farmhouse

pies with an unwavering faith in their truth

Sagadahoc Democracy.
N. A. WEST, Secretary.
Bath, Aug. "a, 1854.

The resolutions unanimously adopted by
the Sagadahoc County and Congressional
Conventions, are of the right stamp--demo-
cratic to the core. They contain true expo
sition Of the principles of the democratic par
ty, having foundation in the old substantial
Jackson platform, and an adaptation to meet
the changes of time and the ceaseess subter-
fuges Of an INSCRIPTIONS enemy.
However our democratic friends. in other
portions of the State may be affected by mo-
tives Of prudence, the democrats Of Sagadahoc
are for hanging their banner on the outer wall
with full and manly enunciation of their
principles. Expedency has been the word
long enough; and while "tender-footed' Z
democrats have hesitated and covered before
the assaults of the enemy, the party has lost
ground by not being up to the demands of
principle and progress. A national admins
tration which has been as true as steel 10 the
interests of the country; which in the face Of
bitter opposition has nobly met the exigencies
of the times which with the frmness of a
former age of democracy, has had a single eye
to the advancement Of democratic measures
and policy, has not received that need Of en-
couragement from the democrats of Maine its

rise above the timid vacllating policy Of the
times, and step forward with zeal in the de-
fence OF national principles and an admins
tration which "knows no north, no south, no
east, no west, but one whole glorious Union -
We are happy to be able to say that in our
young and rising Sagadahoc, there has been
no finching, but the democracy Of this county
have stood up manfully in support of the
principles of the party and the measures Of the
administration. Our labors as a journalist.
have been from the first directed to this re-
suit, and the consequence has been that abuse
and insult have been heaped upon US by wings,
free soilers, anti-Nebraskaites and Know
Nothings. But we care nothing for that. We
point these defamers to the action of the dem
ocrats of Sagadahoc in defence of the princi-
pies we have advocated and the course we
have pursued. That is defence enough for US
With such commentator from such 4 source,

Maine Methodist Conferences

Rev. G. @. Cone thinks it a very scheer
ing' fact that the Maine Methodist Confer
ence Of Ministers go strong against the Ne
braska s'villainy" Mr. Cone is a pretty
smart preacher and rather companionable,
good-natured sort Of man, but most inyet-
crate partisan. We refer particlarly to his
prodigous efforts in circulating the Scam
paign Life Of General Scott" and his exer-
lions in favor Of the old hero in Lincoln Coun-
ty in the last Presidential campaign. Since
that time we supposed he had quit politics !;
but it appears Nebraska has walked him up.
We read that it is next to impossible for the
leopard to change his spots.
The following is one Of the resolutions
passed by the Conference at its recent annual
meeting, which is deemed so ''cheering'' by
our brother politician Cone
ReSolved, That the passage of the Nebraska
bill absolves us from all obligations arising
from compromises heretofore entered into BY
Congress on the subject of slavery, and that
we will use all our influence in all appropriate
and lawful ways TO procure their immediate
abrogation and especially Of that one most
iniquitous Of ALL the Fugitive Slave Law
1t appears that because the Nebraska bill has
abrogated the Missouri Compromise, the Meth
odist clergy are determined to use all their
influence to procure the Immediate abrogation
Of all Compromises, especially the "most in
iquittous Of all, the Fugitire Stare Law
What sagacious politicians Did they not
know that the Missouri Compromise proridcd
for the giring up offagitiVe slaUes9 And now
because that Compromise has been repealed,
they have discovered such love for it, in
cluding its fugitive slave provision, they are
going 10 break down all the compromises, and
ESPECIALLY that most iniquitous of all-ihe
Fugitive Slave Law" Thus they smash
their argument to pieces before they get a
blow with their clerical battle-axe at single
Compromise.
But the Methodist Conference have laid out
good deal of work. We propose they WELD
their battle-axe on the original Compromise,
the compact Of the States, and see if they can
abrogate that. That was the first of mutual
concession on the subject of slavery, on the
part of the sold Thirteen''-a Compromise
for the union of the States and the founding
of Government and Constitution They
are, by their resolution, placed in the proper
position to adopt Garrison's declaration, that
"the Constitution is covenant with hell II
Let them use it and 60 to work, and when

band and 60 home-there will be no more

siipnlations, and hold Inviolaie our national

Resolred, That as Two negatives 10 Eog-
llsh are equivalent to one affirmative" the
whig party, being negative in all questions Of
national significance, and negative On ali ques
tons involving popular rights, is an aiiirma-
tive obstacle N the way of true Democratic
progress, ard as such we are pledged 10 labor
for its total abrogation.
