FUTURE PROSPECTS OF THE RE.
PUBLICAN PARTY.

A recent number Of the Progressive Ags,
q paper Published at Belfast, contains very
well and ably-writtcn article upon the future
prospects Of tho Republican party, from
which we make the following extract =
I" That tho present movement partakes Of
all the features Of great and prominent
change, in relation to parties and politics in
this country, there can be no doubt. IL is
not the result Of a mere excitement. nor the
growth Of moment. IL has been rising,
expanding, and shaping itself for many
years. II is the legitimate offspring Of q
great necessity. Il has been called into eI.
istence from the prevalence Of corruptions
and influences adverse 20 the interests and
welfare of the nation. Patriotic men Of the
old parties saw that they had become cor
rupt-,hat political demigosues had obtain
ed the control Of the government, and that
batween class OF Judases and Arnolds, the
Republic was fast loosing all that was dear,
noble and good.
The necessity which has called the Repub.
licsn party into being, and given it light and
purpose, viii also give il perpetuity. j,
will live till il accomplishes the great OBJ.
lee, of its mission. IL is made up Of the
people. of the thinking. determined peo-
ple. The men enlisted in the movement are
those who prize principle above party, and
above personal considerations.
The threats Of accommodation. or tho
promises Of prcfcrmcnt have alike become
powerless 20 induce them to . abandon n
cause fraught with the best hopes OF the
nation, and connect themselves again with
unprincipled 1emagoguss and with organic.
atoms prosti;uted to the lowest and basest
Of purposes. The party is singularly free
from political aspiran,s. The line which has
been drawn has Left political wire pullers,
and selfish, unpriucipled men on one side
and the people on the other. The day tha.
is dawning is not u day Of ofce seekers, OF
time servers, OF men Of supple consciences.
but day Of prineiple-of reforms.
Our opponents see all this. Their only
hope Is based upon the assumption tina. old

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE PORTLAND,
SAco AND PORTSMOUTH RAILROAD. Friday
mornings train from Portland 10 Boston,
consisting Of two engines, four passenger
and two baggage cars, and snow plough,
was detained four miles out Of Portland in
Scarboro', by one ofthe most serious acct.
dents that ever occurred on the p. s. & p.
Railroad, and which, we regret 10 say, re.
suited in the death OF Mr.. Elbridge Leaviii,
the Road Master, and Mr.. Frank Rogers,
the fireman Of the front engine.
The precise and immediate cause Of the
accident could not be asceriained; but il is
supposed 10 have been from the breaking oil
one OF the wheels or axles Of the snow
plough.
Mr.. Charles Waterman, the engineer oil
the front engine, was somewhat injured, bu
not dangerously SO. -..
There were one hundred and fifty pas
sengers aboard The train, not one OF whom
was in the slightest degree injured. .

&c The readers Of the Union and Jour
nal will recollec, the communication in
last weeks paper from Frederick Douglass,
in which he speaks ofihe "bad luck and
long beard " ,hu, took him ,o!,he shop Of
Barber Bunksr,n who, taking his cue
from some higher authority, refused 10
allow him 10 be shaved in his shop.
An incident, in connection with this, took
place worth relating. One Of our citizens
going TO Me-. Bnnker's shop, soon after Mr..
Douglass exit and taking his sea, for the
purpose OF being shaved, Mr.. B. took oc.
casion TO tell him, with self complacen,
air, OF his refusal to shave the "nigyer. -
The gentleman heard his story, aud TO-
specially expressing his opinion Of the
transaction, took his ha, and len 10 seek
some more humble knight Of The razor -
10 perform Tho service for him; probably
concluding that one so superior TO Freder-
lex Douglass, the man whose eloquence is
acknowledged no, only in this country but
in Europe, had surely mistaken his ealing.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
AUGUSTA, January "a, 1855.

o. AUGUSTA, January "a, 1919.
Nothing Of extended State interest has
occurred at the Capitol since my last was
written. OF matters Of local interest to the
county Of York, the only thing whichhas been
done is the passage to be engrossed OF the
bill to incorporate the city Of BiddefOrd.-
Tho bill was somewhat amended in the Sem
aie, by agreement and without DIVISION
The amendments only so far varied the orig
inal DRAFT as to provide for seven wards in.
tead Of Eve, and the election Of three coun-
cilmen in each ward instead Of two. Most
of the city charters in this State conform to
il in this particular. The charter provides
for Municipal Court, and this feature Of
the bill viii make the appointment, Of a
judge, should the charter be accepted, mat
ter Of especial interest to all our citizens
who are at all interested in the full and
complete execution Of all laws necessary for
the rublic peace and moral health Of The
community. The bill will probably pass
the House as soon as it comes up in regular
course. We conclude that it viii be found
acceptable to our citizens.
There has been great anxiety on the part
Of the opponents Of Mr.. Morrill,, for indis'
criminate removals. Mr.. Morrill, will hard
ly gratiiy them. Some removals will be
made, but the principles upon which they
will be made viii be approved by oil good
citizens. ...... -...
The Governor has put on the nomination
book the name OF Benjamin II. Gilbreth, Of
Mount Vernon Us Sheria'St the county Of
Kennsbec, in place Of Mr.. Pettingill, an an
ti-Maine Law man, removed. Mr.. Gilbreth
has been whig with Maine Law sym
pashics. Moses Taber hF also been nOmi'
mated as Co. Commissioner Of Kennebec
County, in place Of B. Wales. resigned, ant
William j. Sargent, as Judge OF the Munic
ipal Court, Of Rockland. These appoint
ments are entirely satisfactory to all.
There is great press of petitions from
different literary associations, for aid from
the State Treasury. The inclinations o.
members to giant these State favors win be
very much DISTRACTED by tho state Of the
pubic funds. .. L.0. G.
