Michgan.-The Detroit Free Press express
es much confidence that fnsionism will be rout-
ed in that state on the 7th of November, and
that JOHN S. BARRY, democrat, will be chosen
governor by round majority. The following
significant resolve was adopted at a convention
Of the wings Of Macomb county -
Resolved, That we, as whigs-a dmonished
by the disastrous experience of the past, or the
utter fallacy of attempting to gain strength,
either in the state or county, by abandoning,
even for time, our party organization, and
going over 10 a faction whose past acts have
tended more than any other causes to create
discord and disaffection in our ranks-do most
heartily deprecate this so-caled fusion move
ment, preferring, if must needs be, an honor
able defeat under the time-honored banner of
our party, TO doubtful victory under the lead
of those who have sought to bring it into dis
grace
The Free Press says there are thousands OF
wings throughout the state who entertain SEN
timents like these, and will not cast thier votes
for the fusion ticket.

Arrest Of a supposed Murderer.

Our readers will recolIect that the body OF
a man by the name of Brewster, who was ev-
identity murdered, was found not long since in
South Berwick, stripped of his pantalOons and
boots.
young man of about twenty-five years old,
named Smith, was the last person seen with
Brewster, and circumstances tended to create
strong suspicion that he was the murderer.
short time ago, he was at Haverhill. N =.
T., and there robbed boy Of $22 in money,
and quantity of gold rings, and compelled
the boy to swap boots with him. We under
stand that the boots thus exchanged by Smith,
are identified as Bretcster's.
The Sheriff Of Merrimac County. N. H.,
got trace of the villain, and on Thursday NIGHT
about III o'clock, found him in an obscure.
out-of-the- way school house in Brunswick.

had on the Utry pantaiOOnS Of t0hich Brelrster
1oas robbed. He was keeping house in the
school house with his sister and a man ; his
arrest, however, didn't disturb the feelings Of
his sister sufficiently TO induce her to get out
of bed or take leave Of him. The suddenness
OF his arrest so startled him, that he lost all
self control and fell to the floor. The Sheriff
brought him In irons over the Atlantic Road
and through our city to Concord on Friday.
He has a sulky look, but is said TO be very
shrewd and sharp. He was not informed that
he was suspected Of the murder, but supposed
that he was arrested solely for the robbery.
The authorities Of York County will probably
be after hlm.-POrtldnd Argus.

from the popular mind excited, agitated, and
misled, to the popular mind in a state Of calm
ness and of freedom from passion. 10 the
decision as made, although influenced and Sc
cured by prejudice and misrepresentation, we
are bound as democrats to submit with becom7
ing respect to the popular will, but with our
purposes renewed TO seek for reversal OF the
decision by that same tribunal when better
enlightened by reason and argument. No
man can make up his mind dispasslonately to
cooperate either with the abolitionlsts or the
know-nothings and still claim fellowship with
the democratic party. Between these factions
and democracy there is an impossible gulf
an antagonism which is irreconcllable. An
abolitionist or a know nothing cannot be a
democrat without abandoning the distinctive
doctrines of these organizations, and planting
himself faithfully upon the principles Of de-
mocracy. The future course of our party is
plain and striag htforward-a faithful adherence
to the old landmarks, and rigorous and en-
ergetlc maintenance not only Of our great ma
tlonal and constitutional principles, but of
that organization which is designed to give
success and permanence to our principles
Our party will live just as long as the Consti-
tuition and the Union live; they are insepara-
bly, bound together. An occasional disaster
like that which has now overtaken us cannot
discourage any democrat who believes that his
is the party by which the Constitution and the
Union are to be preserved

misunderstanding know-nothng cand-
date for Governor of Massachusetts, Mr. Gardi-
ner, admits he was a Webster man and fully
endorsed his 4th Of March speech He admits
too, he was member of that illustrious brig
ade who volunteered to assist Pat Riley and
Marshall Devins in kidnapping a man out Of
Boston. Harvey Birch, who reported for the
Worcester Spy the proceedings of the know
uothing state convention, which made such a
stir among them as to how it got out, describes
Mr.. Gardiner as follows -
In reference to his views upon the Maine
law, Mr.. G. appears to have been explicit.
He admits that he was a most determined
opponent of the Maine law. Representing as
he did at the time constituency who were
opposed to the law, and his education and hab-
its being such as not TO permit him to see any
necessity for such law. he had with the best
of motives voted and spoken against its enact
ment, but a more thorough acquaintance with
its principles, and close and careful observation
of the operations of the law had led him to
modify his views upon that subject also, and II
elected governor he should have no wish TO
disturb the existing order of things III this par
tcular. So you see the macontents are TO
have no occasion for grnmbling upon any of
these heads. Mr.. G. is undoubtedly pro-
greSSiUe man nOl0, whatever he may have been
before. And the rapid progress he has made
since he joined the order of know nothings, is
a beautiful illustration Of the mode by which
the Scotchman was enabled to get 2 40 speed
out Of his donkey, viz: by holding bunch of
carrots about foot in advance of its nose"

The Tribune, wing paper at Bath, Maine,
In which state the wings are very deep in the
mud, has an article upon the Massachusetts
7th congress district, closing with the hope
that Mr.. Banks will be triumphantly re-
elected The wings here, entertaining differ
ent views, have fused with the know-nothings
to defeat him ! And the Atlas puts it to
him, that he was treacherous on the Nebras-
ka bill boston Post.
The Post mistakes in calling the Tribune a
''whig" paper. 1t was, formerly, and had a
good deal to say about the salvation of the
country depending upon the carrying out Of
wing principles. NoaO, the Tribune derides
what few wings there are in Bath who con-
sistently stick to their principles, and is run
ming after know-nothngism, abolitonism,
Morrillism and other "fused" materials

has for several years been engaged in the Anti
Slavery cause. He has been very popular,

therefore learn with pain that he has forfeited

Kennebec & Portland R. r. Company.

This company met at Columbian Hall to-
day (Friday.) The attendance was very fair.
Gen. A. b. Thompson, of Brunswick, pre-
sided with Jas. McKeen, Esq, as Secretary.
The reports of the President and Directors
and Treasurer, was laid before the meeting.
From them we learn that the receipts for the
year ending Sept. 1854, were $2O8, 568 AZ,
and the total running expenses 1874, 499 SO,
leaving balance of net receipts of STA, 068-
81. A comparative statement shows the in
crease over last year to have been $40, Asa 81.
Owing to the severity Of the past winter, the
expenses were largely increased.
Since the last report, three new LocomO-
tives, two Passenger and forty-fve merchan-
disc cars have been added, and two more Lo-
comOtlves, together with an additional num-
Der of merchandise cars, are now constructing
to run the Somerset and Kennebec Railroad.
In the Presidents report, we find the fol-
lowing paragraph -
F." We come again before you without the
means of giving you dividend, but it is some
comfort TO inform YOU that the earnings of the
road for the past year have been enough to pay
expenses and interest on all our debts and pre-
ferred stock, with fair prospect of increasing
business and receipts"
There was evident qualification among the
members Of the company, at the increased
business Of the road and its future prospects.
The meeting then proceeded to choose Di-
rectOrs.
A motion was carried to vote by stock

The following gentlemen were chosen Di-
rectors for the ensuing year :-Ruel Williams,

C. The following upon the discrepancy
between whig professions when ont Of power
and whig acts while IN power, is from the
Anti-Savery Standard. 1t offers key 10 I'M
lock the mysterious motives Of the changing
about of our neighbor of the Tribune, who
from a friend Of the fugitive slave law and a
slavery fnaHty in 1850, has turned into one Of
the most fawning abolition comets of 1854.
"T The place that is paved with good inten-
tons should be by this time well covered with
whig resolutions. When out Of power, as a
national party, they are uncompromising and
almost ferocOus in their antislavery resolu-
lions but in power, as they happen TO be
about in dozen years, their good inten-
tious are sent for paving stones TO the place
aforesaid True, their President, when they
get him, generally des-as a coroner's jury
would say, by the visitation of God soon
after the inauguration, and the Vice President
soon contrives to send the party after the reso-
lutons; but they do not realize their condition,
and renew their anti-slavery zeal till their OPP
ponents sweep the country in new election,
and then they are out again as the anti-slavery
party as new and quite as natural as ever.

KANsAs-The Kansas Herald announced
that Almon Fl. Reeder, the Governor Of the
new Territory, landed at Fort Leavenworth
and was greeted by the national salute from
the fort. The Herald remarks -
The time has arrived when our territorial
government is to be organized. 1t may be that
the next number Of the Herald will contain the
proclamation of Gov Reeder 10 this effect.
AS soon as the census is taken, and the districts
are laid out, the people will be called upon to
elect delegate TO Congress, and members Of
the legislature. We are not surprised to learn
that general desire exists to have the terrific
rial legislature convened as early as practical
bic. 1t is thought that this can be done by the
first of December.

Trouble in Massachusetts.

The " republicans = of Massachusetts are
in bad 4" fix Their candidate for Govern
or, Henry Wilson, is know nothing, and the
know nothings have nominated H. j. Gardiner
OF Boston, for Governor. Wilson is a great
demagogue, and it is said made an arrange
ment with Gardiner that the latter shall be
Governor and he, (Wllson,) U. S. senator.
GARDENERS pro-slavery character is dreadful
pill in both concerns, and there are many wry
faces in the old Bay State at the present time.
At the " republican convention in Worces-
ter on Wednesday to nominate senators,
Charles Allen made speech, in which he
praised Increase Sumner, their candidate for
lieutenant governor, but said nothing of Will
son, unless his Reproduction Of the new secret
order Of Office hunters be taken in part as
rebuke of Wilson's demagogue attempt to OBJ
tain their nomination. OF H. j. Gardiner, of

The ELLSWORTH OUTRAGE.-The Bangor
Journal of Friday has the following in relation
to this affair -
" The Grand Jury yesterday refused to find
bill against any of the Williams. The At
torney General, Mr.. Evans, states that the
evidence against the persons charged with the
crime, clearly identifying them, was stronger
than he ever presented to a similar body.
There were sixteen on the jury. In each Of
the twelve or fifteen cases presented, the vote
was seven for a bill and nine against. The
nine was understood to be members of a secret
organization. On Wednesday evening at a
meeting of the rulians and their friends,
(among whom are some of the principal men
of the place) it was agreed to back up any
who might be arrested, and to demolish the
Jail if they were committed"
Did popery in the dark ages reveal worse
feature than this? And is it indeed true that
there is place in Maine where one Of the
highest crimes known to our laws must 60
unpublished because jury cannot be found to
convict the offenders! Out upon such Aneri-
cdnism. 1t would sap the foundation of every
institution that true American holds dear to
his heart.
An Ellsworth correspondent of the Boston
Post says it was understood that vote was
taken declaring unanimously that gross out
rage had been committed. The names of the
accused were then voted upon separately, and
the jury stood ten to seven, that there loas not
sufficient proof against any one to justify his
presentnaent. This was the conclusion
though the identity Of five or six persons who
were present was established by the positive
evidence Of from three to six unimpeachable
witnesses, whose testimony was eorroborated
by the circumstantial evidence of as many
more. There could not have been a stronger
exemplifcation of the Nervousness of the doc
trine advanced by Theodore Parker,-the
morality of taking the oath of juror to return
a verdict according to law and evidence, and
then, under the obligation of higher law, to
return verdict contrary to law and evidence
The accused have escaped for the present, but
they will be liable to an Indictment for six
years to come, whenever twelve men can be
found on the grand jury who are sensible Of
the paramount obligation of an oath.

The WING CREED-What is it! Why
merely the abolition creed. Nothing more.
Nothing less. The Saratoga platform is the
Wing platform-that is, the Northern Wing
platform, since that party was severed with no
grain Of hope of ever uniting. Look at the
resolutions Of the New York, Massachusetts,
Maine, Vermont, and indeed all the Northern
| Wing Conventions. They are such as Gill
lette, Hale, Sumner, and even Garrison can
cordially subscribe to. They embrace princi-
Piles upon which this Union can never stand.
They make enemies Of the Southern States,
and array their forces in bitter hostility to one
half of the Union. They cultivate no AMIGA
bic relations. They acknowledge no common
brotherhood, but press on in course which if
successful must certainly despoil this Repub-
lie, and break down its great and growing
power. Is there any bright prospect, any
consolationfor young man to link his fortunes
with such sectional party, loaded as il il,
