VINO is Woodbury. Davis 2

This is the gentleman lately appointed by
GOV Morrill, for the Supreme Bench. He is
SAID to be OF Portland. The Portland papers
are not yet aware that such an individual re-
sides there; at least the first intimation Of the
fact was made public by Gov. Morrill, Then
who Is Woodbury. Davss Does any one know
of such person in the State Of sufficient legal
reputation to fit him for the Supreme Bench J
Some years ago an individual of that name act
ed as travelling agent for the State abolition
Society, and as co editor of an abolition paper
with Rev. Austin Wiley. Knowing the ten
der 'bilhng and cooing of Gov. Morrill, with
abolitionism for year past, we are constrained
TO believe this is the distinguished gentleman
now elevated to the Bench. The same indi-
vidual, probably. who set up law and milli-
ner shop in Belfast-provided ammunition for
the "Progressive Age" and finally progressed
by means of the last Hindoo Legislature into
the State Treasury. Verify, this must be the
man now "come to judgment"
This is an extraordinary age, and this last
appointment Of an extraordinary exesltive,
|
ticc Shepley, whose name is thoroughly iden-
tilted with the judicial history of the State,
whose name and legal opinions constitute a
tower of honor to Maine, throughout New
England, has leave TO retire to private life, and
Woodbury. Davis, Esq, comes up in the line
Of succession. Well. what next is to take
place in the line of extraordinaries during the
coming latter three months Of the present State
administration, time alone can tell. Gov Nor
rill seems inclined to make as much work as
possible, for the next Legislature. 10 the
work of undoing the outrageous laws passed by
the last Legislature, he seems inclined to fore
lay extensively and as he "s,umped the State
to defeat his election" unsuccessfully, he now
seems inclined to stump the Legislature TO
'stand" his appointments. Such course of
conduct is received by the people with asionish-
ment and indignation. and they will demand
Of the Legislature thorough righting Of The
,oroags of the MoriH administration!
Eastern times., 1855-10-11
Prospect of Storm in New Hampshire

Tae Dover Gazette rejoices in the prospect
Of coming political storm in New Hamp-
shire. There can be no doubt the Granite
State will gloriously redeem herself from the
disgrace of abolitionism and Hindooism at the
coming spring election. The Gazette says =
That terrible reaction, so gloriously COM
menced in Maine is felt all over the old Gran
ite State 1t sent thrill of joy into the hearts
offhe democratic masses, but panc and confu-
sion into the ranks of the opposition. That
panic is the sure harbinger of defeat. 1t is
useless for them TO fiounce round and snarl at
the national administration. The slang against
Gen. Pierce and the administration which has
formed the stock in trade of all the opposition
yepers for a twelve month past, has lost its
force. 1t is found to conceal the rankest ele-
ments of dsorganization and disunion, and the
people are getting sick of it. They are not
yet quite ready to sacrifice this noble country,
or noble democratic administration, to graft
fy the ambition of race of reckless fanatics
and unprincipled demagogues. The storm is
coming, the terrible avalanche is poised upon
the brow of the white hills, which is destined
10 sweep Hindooism, abolitionism and every
other reasonable ism into nonentity.

ACrIvIrY>IN FREIGHTs.-For the first time,
says the New York Courier, in many months,
the demand for freighting ships exceeds the
supply. Not only in this, but in most of the
southern ports there is constantly quite an ex-
element amongst shippers, and a rapid advance
in rates has taken place. This state of affairs
has already communicated a more cheerful
tone in our shipyards, and there is every pros
pect that the dulness which has reigned su-
preIne for such length of time is about to give
place to renewed activity in ship building.

iTP We are pleased to notice the appoint
ment of Josiah Pierce, Jr., Esq, of Portland,
to the important situation of Secretary of
Legation at St. Petersburg. The selection is
certainly an excellent one, and is high COM
pliment to so Young man as Maj. Pierce. He
is eminently qualified for the position, having
fine literary taste and attainments, thorough
modern linguist, and with the ability and in
dustry which he carries to the Office, he will
do honor to the American embassy at the Court
of the Gar. While we congratulate the Major
on this well merited compliment, we regret
that he is to be separated from his many
friends in this State

Opinion On Fugitive Slave Law.

The following opinion of Hon. Daniel Good
enow, on the fugitive slave law will now be
read with interest. 1t is an extract from his
letter to the committee of arrangements for
the union meeting held in this city, December
18th, 1850, and presents singular contrast
to the more recent views Of that gentleman,
and to the principles of the party, of which he
has of late been an active partizan:
The Constitution could not have been
adopted without the provision in relation TO
fugitives from labor. 1t cannot be preserved,
if this provision is practically disregarded. 1t
should be carried out in good faith. Laws
should have such penalties as to secure their
enforcement. When they have received the
sanction of both Houses of Congress and of
the President, it is not safe TO proceed upon
the hypothesis that they are unconstitutional.
1t becomes the duty of all good citizens, not
only not to resist them, but 10 aid in enforcing
them, when legally required SO TO do. How
ever much we may deplore the existence OF
slavery, we are not at liberty to hold out to
slaves in any other State in this Union, that
they can find a safe asylum here against the
claims of their master. If they come amongst
us as fugitives they must come under the dlsa-
bility which the Constitution imposes. In or
der to protect them, we are no! ready to break
up the Union.
The darkest period in our political history
was that between the close of the revolution
and the adoption of the Constitution. We
have received from that instrument much more
than the most sanguine could have expected.
It has given US character abroad, and peace
and prosperity at home. We will not give it
up. Even the condition Of the slave would
not be improved by its destruction

New York anti-Fusion Whiggery.

At the meeting in New York city on Thurs
day evening, Mr.. G. G. Bellows read the ad-
dress andre solutions. The address begins as
follows r..-
/" Wings of New York-we are betrayed
translerred-and offered up as cattle in the
shamhles TO mock democrats and abolitionits
They who have had hold of the. machinery of
our party have disposed of US as mere ma
chimes, and have thought no more of a trans
fer of two hundred and forty or fifty thousand
human beings than they would have thought
of selling so many hoes, harrows, or spinning
ennies The old time-honored and conse-
Grated principles of Clay, Webster, Har-
rison, Critienden, Graham, a Choate, an
Everett, Vinton, Bates, an Evans, Hunt,
a Granger, are all declared dead land we are
invited to funeral procession to bury our
selves yet living, in the graveyard of section
alism, abolitionlsm, and of the iSmS in pass ~
We subjoln two of the resolutions, by which
it will be seen that State whig convention
is called -
Resolred, Therefore, that the recent deliv-
cry of the whig party at Syracuse over to
mock democrats and abolitionists, by men hap
pening to have in their hands the mere ma
chnery of that party, is treachery to all our
principles and precedents for quarter of a
century, and that such treachery ought TO be
resisted in every possible and honorable way.
ReSolred, Therefore, that the wings of the
State of New York be invited to assemble in
State convention, in Constitution Hall, New
York, on Tuesday, Oct. 23d, to take such
measures as may be deemed advisable to main
tain our integrity and our honor

The Missouri LINE.-The New York Tri
bune says of the Missouri Boundary Line =
We see no reason why that Ene should b

whole school of Greeley philosophers want
What'do the Republicans want or expect to
obtain by their movements What reason ex-
ISIS for the vast display Of Fusion thunder
We opine the question is easily answered =
None but love of spoils.

6Yr In our columns this week will be seen q
circular issued by committee to raise the
amount necessary to build a ship for the use of
the American Colonization Society. We are
happy to learn that they have met with good
success thus far. among our citizens, and the
prospect is fair for a speedy and thorough pros
ecution of the work All liberal minded men
can but feel an interest in so worthy an object.
The Secretary of the Society, Rev C. c. Cur
ley, addressed large audience at the Winter
Street Church on Sabbath evening, on this sub
ject. He feels highly encouraged by the inter-
est manifested in the undertaking.
Eastern times., 1855-10-11

The fact that the learned and honorably dis
tinguished Chief Justice SHEPLEY, of the Su-
preme Court in Maine, has been dropped by
Gov. Morrill, in his re-appontments to the bench
of that state, is matter of generarsurprise and
regret. Judge Shepley has national reputa-
tion as jnrist, and is esteemed by the legal
profession of the whole country as one of its
brightest ornaments while 10 the mass Of the
people he is known as an experienced states
man and an honorable and patriotic otizen.-
The retirement of such a gentleman from pub
lie station is loss TO the whole community,
and Gov. NJ, as the occasion of it, evinces a
disregard of the public welfare worthy only of
the narrowest and meanest party maligniiy.-
Who Woodbury. Davis is, The person placed on
the bench 10 supply the vacancy occasloned bv
Judge Shepley's prescription, we do nottnow-
he, certainly, has never possessed sufficient ca
pacity TO win any professional notoriety, and
we presume he owes his present remarkable
elevation 10 that recklessness of all propriety
which has been exhibited often in the official
conduct of Gov. Morrill,. We believe Mr..
Davis has never risen even to mediocrity in
MS profession, and that SO inadequate has he
found his legal ability to sustain himself, he
has resorted 10 other avocatiuns to gain live
lihood, and engaged in the sale of millinery
goods, and other employments. But we trust
the people of Name will find remedy for the
gross abuses they have suffered at the hands
Eastern times., 1855-10-11
IMPROVEMENT.

From all this the inference is unavoidable,
that those clergymeB and others. who repre-
sent the repeal of the Missouri Compromises,
and the substitution therefor Of the principle
of popular sovereignty, as synonymous with
"ihe extension of slavery" commit a fraud
upon their hearers, for which and the conse-
quence of which, they are responsible before
God and man.

Austin Wiley, ESQ.,, editor of the Portland
Inquirer, has been advised by his physicians
to make a sea voyage. His health continues
very poor.
We learn that the Inquirer is to be merged
in the Temperance Journal, Mr.. Peck having
purchased the -establishment.-Adre Of
Friday.
The Inquirer is the paper that concluded
to stop an exchange with us some weegs ago.
We thought then, the concern was growing

Senator Douglas on Slavery.

Senator Douglas has wIitten a short letter,
in answer 10 an invitation to deliver lecture
on slavery in Boston during the next winter,
which states with admirable brevity and com
prehensiveness the duty which rests on all
northern men in regard TO the discussion of the
subject Of Slavery. f his example could be
followed by all northern statesmen, the peace
and harmony Of The country could be mmed-
ately and permanently restored. The following
is Judge Douglas letter:
