POLITICS IN MAINE.

aThe politics OF Maine, (says the State Of
Maine newspaper are in a chaotic state. Party
lines are in a great measure obliterated. The
uneasy, restless, ambitious politicians of the
various parties in the State are now in the field,
in full pursuit oftheir own personal ends, re-
CARELESS alike of their former anticedents, and
their previous professions asI
1t adds, after describing an existing condition
ofthings: Notwithstanding this state ofthings,
it seems doubtful if anything like union OF effort
or concert Of action can be secured, by the OPP
ponents Of the Nebraska bill, mainly because
he people hare not confidence in The nep leaders
that haze thrust themselves .torscard in the pre-
sent junction Of affairs What we now see in
this part of the State is a type of what's going
on elsewhere
Here the fact is frankly confessed that the
leaders of that much talked of anti Nebraska and
anti-savery movement that was said to have
convulsed the people fthe North, that extended
into the churches and ambitiously sought to
take possession of the halls of Congress, are
unworthy of the confidence of the people. This
is what we have all along endeavored to i'm
press upon them. We have said time and
again that the men who raised all the clamor
and noise about the " Nebraska iniquity," dis
solving the Union, and burning down the Capt.
tol, we're a set of unprincipled demagogues, who
only got up the excitement with the hope Of
deriving personal benefit from it. But the
masses of New England chose to follow them.
They signed their blasphemous petitions, they
applauded their reasonable harrangues, they
read their infamous publications, they took
them for their leaders and followed their foot
steps like ours. Now, however, they begin to
find them out, and it is hoped that they will
speedily abandon them. They have no body
to blame but themselves. They made false
images and worshipped them. They chose
blind guides that have led them into danger.
GUS places, instead of following the guidance
of the tried statesmen and patriots Of the coun
try. They made their own bed and they must
lie in it.

HON. MOSES MepoNALD.

We extract, from the State Of Maine news
paper, the following complimentary notice OF
Hon. Moses Mcdonald, one of the very few
representatives from New England who had
the manliness to vote and to speak in favor OF
the Nebraska bill. This tribute is paid him
by warm anti-Nebraska journal;
Hon. Moses Mcdonald has returned from
Washington. 1t is understood that he will not
be candidate for reelection. Ia case Mr..
Burt, the third auditor of the treasury, accepts
the governorship of Nebraska, Mr.. Mcdonald
is spoken of as his successor as auditor. While
differing with Mr.. Mcdonald on political cues
tions, it gives US pleasure to speak, in tins con-
nection, of the excellence of his private and
personal character as gentleman and friend.
From his admission to the bar, we have known
him as an honorable man, in all his relations
of life. We confess that in the Congressional
career he has not come up TO our expecta-
tons"
Office could not be conferred on worthier
or better man than Mr.. Mcdonald

special police, the placards ordering all boys
home-in short The determined stand made by
the authorities and the leading citizens efectu-
ally put an end to further disorder, and every
body went to bed on Wednesday night in the
positive certainty that there would be no more
rioting."
The riot, whose termination is thus an
nounced, was characterised by most obstinate
and determined spirit on the part Of the rioters.
They caused much bloodshed and destroyed
much property. They filled the whole city with
dismay and apprehension. Like most Of the
riots that have recently occurred, it is to be
traced to the jealousy and hostility that unfor-
tunately exist between many OF the native
Americans and the foreigners who dwell
amongst us. 1t is one of the baleful fruits OF
that secret society that has so suddenly and
mysteriously sprung up in our midst. Surely
this country is large enough both for natives
and foreigners There is no good reason why
they should not dwell together in peace and IN
friendship.

DEmoCRATIC BARBAcUE-sENAT
nnUGLAS

!
II is announced in one Of cur exchanges
that "there is to be an old fashioned democratic
barbecue at indianapolis on the 9TH Of Sep
TENDER, at which Senator Douglas and the
eloquent Breckenridge from Kentucky Gov.
Wright and other distinguished speakers are
to be present. There will be several acres OF
Hoosiers present on that occasion and a iair
sprinkling of buckeyes. This is right. Let
the champions OF democracy everywhere take
the stump and dare the fusion braggarts into
the field, where face to face the great princi-
pies of freedom, as embodied in the Nebraska
act can be discussed. Nolying manifestos and
secret circulars can avail where daylight and
fair play is thus resorted to. In this field OF
discussion the democracy have nothing to fear
but everything to gain. Removed from the
freesoiI rubbish and falshehood heaped upon
it, the Nebraska act will become the measure
of the people,"
The minds of the masses of the people in
the free States were poisoned against the Ne
braska bill and its supporters, by secret SLAM
ders, uncontradicted sermons and lying pam
phets. The aboltionists and freesoiers had
it all their own way during the session Of Con.
gress They were at home while their repre-
sentatives were in Washington attending to
their business.
They availed themselves Of that absence to
SOW among the people the seeds of dissatisiac-
ton. But before many weeks pass by there
will be great sensation, or we are much MIS-
taken. When such men as Senator Douglas
take the stump and meet the abolitionists, free
soilers, and fusionists face to face, before the
people, then calumny will be silenced, falsehood
exposed, and misrepresentation scattered to
the winds. The people will find, as they begin
to find in Maine, that the abohtionists, free
sellers and fusionists have deceived and misled
them-that they are base and selfish dema.
gogues, and altogether unworthy of their con-
Gdence. When the discussion begins before
the people, all the frauds and villainies of the
motley band of fanatics and demagogues will
be exposed. The people will see with their
own eyes and hear with their own ears.

auARRELs OF NEW YORK AND PHIL

These two great and rival cities have been
