lie the prepared excitement of the abo-
Iasts and their hackers seems already to
lied away, or is to be kept up only by
ost laborious process, the public senti-
of the democratic press Of the North,
of the democratic and wing press of the
III, so far as they have been heard from
2 the passage of the bill by both houses OF
gress, Is expressed in tones of marked ana
luent approval. The anmating principle,
orth and South, which stirs the popular
.leart as with the blast of trumpet, is Con-
gressional non-intervention and popular con-
troll within the territories OF the United States
Before this truth, as it is illustrated and de-
Tended by thousands of newspapers, and dis
cussed BY able and energetic men in popular
meetings, how long will the absurd prophecies
and groundless suspicious of our opponents
succeed in mystifying and misleading the pub
lie mind 1t will be recollected, that when
the annexation of Texas was consummated,
4 amid the roar of artillery and the shouts Of
! grateful people, the same party in the North
which so violently opposed and opposes the
organization Of Nebraska and Kansas, would
be content with nothing short of dissolution
of the Union. When it was proposed to ac-
quire California it will not easily be forgot
y ten how that idea was denounced and rldl-
culed by the same influence. In this age,
however, we are not called upon to adjourn
the complete triumph of great measures to
other generations The American people are
not asked to take democratic reforms upon
Arust-to believe in mere calculations, or to
be satisfied BY grave opinions from grave men.
AS ia the cases of Texas and of California,
those who plant the tree gather also the inn
mediate and perennial fruits which it bears.
Dur children need not wait to see their fathers
lie before their fathers works are indicated
sIy practical results. Those who reap the
Pc vest have sown the seed and so, too, with
eOraska and Kansas. In few DAYS the
i organizing both will be law of the land.
few months both will be Furnishing ter
cries In few years both will be popu-

i m BUcHANAN.-Gen. Webb writes to the
Courier and Enquirer concerning our
Ter at the Court of St. James, as fol-
Mr.. Buchanan we desire to say gener-
lily, that he is, as we predicted he would
lbe, an admirable representative of the United
States. His ability admits of no question
}hls republlcanlsm is above suspicion and his
Wind and courteous bearing and general con-
S-UdtiSm, even when unfllnchingly insisting
pon all our rights, render him very accept
Sic representative of our country. Beyond
doubt, he has urged the sending of Lord
dgin on his special mission, TO arrange all
dtstanding difficulties, and to get Spain out
the scrape into which her agents have SO
,lishly thrust her, and we cannot doubt but
result will be satisfactory to all parties.
The newspapers in Portland and Bath mem
ton with praise the beautiful Silver Trumpet
which is offered by our citizens 10 the Engine
Company that shall come off victorious in The
contest of skill aud power that is TO take place
on the 4th; and although, as Tom Hood says,
q 1t is not exactly the thing-we know it
10 crack our own trumpet up and blow it,
we can't help expressing our unanimous agree
ment with The newspapers aforesaid and our
hearty conviction that, both in intrinsic value.
and elegance of finish aud workmanship, it is
the nearest representation Of one hundred dol
lars worth that ever saw in that shape.
We hear il said that in some instances the val
uailons affixed TO such articles and trumpeted
through the newspapers, bear about the same
proportion TO the actual worth as the price set
down in the hand-bilis for the most magnif-
cent paaOramas in the known world the
high prizes put up in splendid gift enter
prizes, and The like but any one NAV easily
satisfy himself that there is 40 discount
about this,
The arrangements for the celebration are
progressing in the most gratifying manner.
The Committee. have appointed Hon. Rob

About seventy five ladies met at the Tontne
Hall on Thursday evening, to cnnsult about the
floral procession; and we know that Topsham
and Brunswick can present az array Of grace
and beauty Which will DO honor 10 the day,
and Of which both villages may well be proud.
