They tarry 50 long from the grove.

Their Wild notes Of music and love;
The butterfly spreads his say wing,
To Eask in the bright Leans Of day;
Tie whip.roorwiil p!aintively sings;
But why do the Spring flowers stay
Tie blades Of the grass, by tac streams,
Are lifting their heads to the breeze,
Ana trembling in Sois genial beams,
Now swelling the buds on The trees.
The h0asy-bcc wearies his wing,
IN search Of 4 delicate feast,
But finds not a iow'ret OF Spring
Not even the humb,est OF least.
He's lonely. poor wandering thing,
And lonely my heart viii remain,
Though birds all their melody bring.
II Spring flowers come not again.
Ere I've from the Garden was driven,
When lorleLtlng Edens bright bowers,

Her leave to retain the sweet floHers-
To soo'h her in sorrows lone path,
To guard in Temptations dark hour,

Albion K. Paris.


Every democrat must feel proud of the priv
ilege Of laboring and voting for so noble a
specimen of man as ALBION K. PARIS.
He is tried and true democrat, and an hon.
est and capable and able man. Even the en-
emies of the inscriptions opposition arrayed
against him, dare not question his deserved
ness of the respect and honor of the people of
the State. He has been tried-his record is
luminous with pure motives and good deeds.
The mere mention of his name stirs up the
fire of the old Jackson democrats, and makes
them young again. 1t will be proud day
for the Democracy of,Maine when ALBION X.
PARIS takes the Gubernatorial Chair. That
day is nigh-the skies are clear above the
dark clouds of faction, fusion and corruption,
which will soon disappear before the sun
light. Intelligence from all parts of the State
Of the moving Of the democratic masses is
most cheering. They are coming up to the
work like true men. LET NOT DEMOCRAT
FALrER, but strike for the right. Recollect
the importance of ONE VOTE. Stem the rack
ct and din Of the enemy with the DETERMINA-
TON and ACTION of principle. Wake up your
neighbor. ORGANIZE, TALK, ACT!

The Wings of Massachusetts.

The recent whig state convention in Massa-
chusetts adopted the free soil platform entire
renouncing the national principles of Webs
ter, Clay, and other great wing lights of the
past, and embracing the sectionalism of rank
abolitonism The Boston Post remarks as
follows upon this convention =
Z" No stronger anti slavery resolves have
been passed-no ranker sectionalism has been
uttered-than may be found IN the proceed
ings Of this convention. The platform en-
braces, in its doctrine as TO the admission of
new states, one of the most dangerous Of her
estes. 1t strikes at the fundamental basis Of
our nationality-of our Union. To refuse to
admit state into the confederacy without en-
acting perpetual prohibition on its sover-
eignty-to attempt to hold state as it is well
expressed in President Taylor's California
message, as conquered peOple-wouId be to
violate a cardinal feature of our institutions.
Nearly every president has denied the right
of congress to do this. Presidents Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, John Q. Adams, Jackson,
Harrison, Polk, Tdylor-to say nothing of
such eminent statesmen as Clay and Calhoun
hare left their solemn opinions against 1t on
record. If carrying out such doctrine as this,
thus branded as unconstitutional, would not
tend 10 disunion, then no doctrine can be
named that will tend to disunion. If the pro-
mitigation of such doctrine is not enough to
drive true Union and constitutional men from
an organization that stands upon it, then we
know not what will drive them from it,"

LIST Congressional District.

The democrats of this district have nomi
mated the very best man in the district for
Congress, Judge WELLS, of Portland. He is,
of himself, his high talents and commanding
influence, his elevated moral character, and
stern, unhinching democracy, host, and is
bound to put to fight the alien army of oppos-
ers in that district whose hope is in man of
straw, with a money bag at his side. Samu-
ell Wells has an army of warm friends all over
the State They rejoice that the democrats
of the LIST District have put him on the course.
for he is the man to conquer. Let them rally
in their strength-the emergency of a COM
bined attack by all opposing parties and isms,
with money and means unlimited, renders the
coming struggle one in which NO DEMOCRAT
CAN LAG BEHIND, but every man must give his
influence to the work and his VOTE TO THE
CAUSE. We hope to see judge Wells in Con-
gress. No man from Maine will stand higher
there, we venture with assurance to predict
The Democracy of the State may well be
proud of such nomination and they may
well suggest to democrats in the Ist District,
that if they ever worked hard under noble
leader and in good cause, now is the time
to give US specimen of the matchless and
victorious charging of the sold guard"

Good News.

Reports from all quarters of the State are
cheering. The democratic party has but to
rally in its strength, and the days of barter
ing whig and free soil dynasties are over.
The Argus says
We hear favorable accounts from almost
very section of the State. Multitudes Of
democrats who were kindly disposed to Morrill,
last year, will this year vote against him; and
Cary, if he remains in the field, will find him
self in the end, almost wholly without follow
ers. The Democratic party, at their next
election, mean to vote nnitedly for THEIR REGU-
LAR TICKET. In this way, they will CRUSH TIL E
scoRPIAN BAND OF UNITED IsMs, and purify the
political atmosphere Of the State. All togeth-
er, in solid column, they will contend, at this
crisis, for their ticket, THEIR WHOLE TICKET,
AND NOTHING BUT THEIR TICKET.

Decaved Politicians.

The editor Of the Belfast Journal, In de-
scription Of the ''muss" convention at Bidde-

gress, makes an important suggestion in re-
lation to the establishment Of hospital He
says
"Then there were thrown in all sorts of
boilers from the democracy, decayed politi-
clans who should long ago have been laid up
in ordinary, with such men as Wiley, Dow,
Ben D. Peck, (Rev.) Phineas Barnes, illegal
advisory and Henry Carter, (editor-in-chief
of the Wood party.) DIR. Nourse, Of Bath,
standing candidate for the best Office for twen-
ty years, made the biggest speech. The doc

The Saco Democrat comments on the same

While the committees were celebrating,
Dr. Amos Nourse, of Bath, made long
speech, in which he repeated the stale charges
of slavery propagandism against the admin

ALBION K. PARIS


Straight-out wing editors begin to hesitate
about allowing the wing party to be swal-
lowed up in abolitionism. They have suffi-
cient sagacity to see that the wing party is
losing its identity, and that it will be inpossi-
BILE TO rally the party again on the national
principles Of Webster and Clay. Ii the fusion
process goes on as it has commenced, it is
easy to see the result. Abolition will be its
mouth-piece, and the controller of its energies.

- The Bangor Democrat notices as fol-
lows the street preacher who found such a
crowd Of hearers and sympathisers in this
city. We think morality on the Kennebec
cannot help growing under the tuition Of such
characters. Who comes nextl
A street preacher, the same person, we be-
lieve, who held forth at Bath, this summer,
and got up an anti-Catholic row there, came
to this city, week before last, and made
two harangues, one in the Court House yard
and the other at the City Hall. He made his
advent with flying colors, and his protestant
zeal some might have thought was real and
according to knowledge, but his erodus loas
the retreat Of a criminal flying to escape the pen
alty of Violated law. His public profession
was that of saint, and private practice
that of sinner, abandoned and shameless. 1t
was gain to get rid of him before he created a
public disturbance, but still he ought to have
been made an example Of, and his infamous
conduct publicly erposed.
Under our constitution and system Of gov
eminent every citizen has the right to enjoy
his own religious opinions unmolested. No
good can come from street preaching against
Catholicism, and when such person as the
one in question engages in it, disgrace is
brought upon professionalism. All protestants
and good citizens should set their faces against
the base fellows who are prowling about the
country. disturbing the peace by their ire
