DR.. sheldon's Address at waterville.

We hear from many sources that DR.. Shell
don's address before the literary societies, at
Waterville was an able and popular one
We extract from the correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Post as follows =
In the evening the literary societies of the
college listened to discourse pronounced by
Rev. Dr.. Sheldon, formerly president of the
Institution, upon Freedom" The Rev. Dr..
" went IL rather strong on this expansive
theme, dilsting at considerable length on the
changes Of necessity in the religious, social and
material world, and maintaining the PROPOSE
ton that full liberty must be allowed Of con
science TO every one to find out and discover
truth, and 10 act upon it, whereby alone hu-
mainly would progress as it should. The k.
ms came in for some pretty hard knocks, to the
delight of the large audience, and religious de-
nominations of all kinds were exhorled not to
be left behind by young America, but to go in
and win BY advancing with the onward rush Of
new ideas and belieB The entire Grafton was
about as "a liberal" as it could possibly be
made, and ELECTED the livelest tokens Of salts
faction from the numerous " unconverted,' -
who evidently did not believe in the present
theological systems.

Mass Meeting in this CITY.

We learn that we shall be likely to have
rather full meeting of the Democracy of this
region next Saturday. No extra exertions
have been taken to drum up a crowd, and
dozen brass bands have not been engaged
But depend upon il. we shall have full meet
ing. The Democrats Of Phipsburg. George
town, Brunswick, Topsham, Woolwich, Bow
doinham, and up the Kennebes to Richmond
and above, are rubbing their eyes and waking
up. Some of them will be here. Come on,
brethren, and get some Of the spirit and fire in
fused into your souls Of RousrNG DEMOCRATIC
GArHEnING.
That noble specimen of a Democrat and a
man, SAMUEL WELLS, will be here, and
something will be heard from JOHN HUB
BARD, and other sterling democrats.
The corrupt Dynasty now in power in this
State, which goes higher in impiety and deeper
in iniquity than any other party that ever dis
gracsd State, MUST be put down by the
power of the Democracy. There is no evading
the work to be done. We have got to take off
our coats and bare our arms for the contest,
fight for the right like men, and know no such
word as fail, or liberty and peace will give place
to despotism, riot and blood.

THAT SPEECH. The speech of Geo. M.
Weston, Esq, delivered at Bangor to a small
audience, not one Of whom were democrats,
the fusion press and party have made great
ado over. They thought that because he once
belonged to the democratic party, he would
be able to carry some individuals with him in
to the fusion ranks, if his pretended dislike to
Judge Wells should induce him to GO into
their company, which they fully expected
would be the case, though he was very care
full not to say SO in his speech. So upon the
idea, they had the speech printed, and have
been circulating it BY the thousand copies,
when 10 its author finding not solitary dis
aple IN the democratic ranks, has gone NOT into
fusionism, but into Virginia, and will remain
there probably until after election. The pub
LEGATION Of that speech therefore, will not be
likely to gain even the solitary vote of its au-
thor.

The Southern Elections.

The result OF the Southern elections has
demonstrated that Hindooism is used up
"down South.'' VIRGINIA set the ball in
motion by round popular majority for the
democrats of TEN THOUSAND. North Carolina,
an old whig State followed with a like popu-
lar majority for the democrats. And now we
have TENNESSEE, which some of the s'Hin-
doc" papers in this State claimed as going
5000 majority for the whig k. n. candidate,
Gentry, with TWENTY HUNDRED majority for
the democratic candidate, johnson. Tennes-
see, it will be recollected, was one of the i'm
mortal ''four'' Scott States. And finally,
Alabama, which the Hindoo organs said had
elected Shortbridge. k. n, for Governor, has
elected democratic Governor by glorious
majority of FIVE THOUSAND. Whewl What
a pity it is that Grand Mogul Lincoln of
Maine did not circulate his speech about the
"BEAST" down South The New York
Tribune comforts Hindooism as follows =
When the Know Nothing array was rout-
ed by Wise in Virginia, the leaders excused
their overwhelming defeat by laying it at the
door of Henry Wilson and the Massachusetts
Legislature. And yet it has been decidedly
worsted. North Carolina, (which went for
Clay against Polk and Texas, and gave Har-
rison large majority, has gone decidedly for
Democracy against the Know Nothings.-
Tennessee, which went heavily for Harrison.
supported Clay against Tennessee candidate,
and even voted for Gen. Scott in spite Of the
general detection, has reelected Gov. John
son and repudiated Col. Gentry, the Orders
ablest champion, who numbered the heir of
Gen. Jackson and other leading democrats
among his active supporters.
The net result of the canvass is the triumph

PRINTERS Excursion. The printers Of
Lowell, and their friends, made their annual
excursion to Lowell Island, on Friday. The
Lowell Courier gives the following profess
sional account of the affair:
"The day was delightful, the best that ma
ture could have given US. The first half of
the day was spent according to the varied tastes
of the company; some took to the alleys, max
ing pa of the ten-pins as fast as they could be
SET up by the active boys; some loaded their
lines and embarked their gdllies on fishing ex-
cursions, and found few fat takes, while 9TH
ers distributed themselves promiscuously about
the rocks, or ,cet their matter in the salt water
at the bathing place the forms of one couple
we espied under the shelving edge of an mn
posin g-stone, locked-up in private and conf
Dental communication. In all the amusements
the masculine bourgeois and the feminine non
parcel were pretty evenly distributed, and fair
sprinkling Of youthful small caps was not
wanting"

Not all one WAY.

The Gardiner Transcript, an able neutral pa
per, referring to an article in the Waterville
Mail, another professed neutral, in which the
latter takes strong ground for Morrill,, says
snow we have always entertained deadly
hostility 10 the slave power, and now as ever
look with disgust and hatred upon any effort
extend its limits, to soothe its resentments, or
TO conciliate its favor, and an unwavering and
unfinching friend 10 the cause of temperance
and can the editor of the Mail say more. Yet,
the nominee Of the present Republican party,
is the last man in whom we should confde
those t,co important moral questions. The acts
of his early life do not comport with part
or parcel" of The principles which he now
Processes to espouse. We prefer 10 confide in
those who have eUer cherished the principles
which now agitate the people of this State
and we have yet TO learn that there is one now
before the people for their suffrages, who has
eUer manifested stronger, or more faithful at
tachment TO those principles than the present
nominee Of the Wing party.

LIQUOR RETURNED We learn that after a
day and night of vigilant watching by the po-
lice, several parcels of liquor were, on Mon
day the 9Th inst, seized on board the schooner
ST. Mary's OLA. Donnell's line, and conveyed
to the city depository for safe keeping. 1t was
subsequently claimed by different individuals
as their property, bought for private use. and
we learn that the authorities, considering their
position un,enable, returned the portion claim
ed by Capt. Sylvester and gave up parcel
belonging to another person. We learn also
that suit is about being commenced against
the vessel for the recovery of another parcel,
the owner claiming that her owners are re-
sponsible for its safe delivery by virtue Of his
bill Of laden.
Since writing the above j, has all been re-
turned.

Judge Ye |!

The supporters of Samuel Wells are called
"rummies,'' and the supporters of Arson p
Morrill,, temperance men, par ercellence.
Now Samuel Wells is staunch practical
temperance man, and has been from his youth
up. He possesses also all those moral excel
lencies of character that go TO constitute a
true and noble Christian citizen. He is a
''rummy."
Arson P. Morrill, has been rumseller. If
he is not in the habitual use of profane Ian
guage, his reformation in that respect must be
of recent date. VIGOROUSLY, he is deficient
in those finer sensibilities, natural and educa-
tional, that constitute the true gentleman
He is Temperance man, and is endorsed
as the highest exponent of .'moralty" by the
clergy.
OF the real comparative moral position of
the two candidates for the office of Governor
of Maine, judge ye. With Judge Wells we
are perfectly satisfied in being called ''rum-
nv"

Slavery in Nebraska.

Nearly all the abolition papers in the State,
and among them our neighbor, the Tribune,
having inserted the article referred to, would
do well to copy the subjoined, with or without
credit. Itappeared in the Chicago Times of
the End inst, and shows how the 'fusionisls
catch at straws:-
"All aboi,iondom has been Mortified by the
publication, in the Nebraska News, published
at Nebraska ciiy Of a statement that slaves had
been introduced in that territory, and also an
advertisement announcing the sale of five
slaves. Loud and deep were the maledictions
heaped upon the head Of Senator Douglas.
He was accused of having introduced slavery in
the Territory. We did moi copy the notice be-
cause we did not believe it. A copy of the Ne
braska News, dated July IL, explains the
whole story. The editor says he made the
statement TO see how many abolitionists would
be sold by it, and rs satisfied with the num-
Der of his victims. He further says
We wished to bring the news into circula-
ton. We wrote the article alluded to upon
slavery 10 Nebraska. Ooer forty papers north
and south, have copied either the whole or part

CuRRANr WINE. The following recipe for
the manufacture of currant wine, is furnished
us by gentleman who has ior years been ex-
perimenting upon the same. Many Of our
readers in this city already have it, but we
publish it for the purpose of giving it more
general circulation
"To quart of juice add 8 quarts of water,
and of brown Havana, or other dry sugar
put the liquid in cask that has had distilled
spirits in it-a brandy cask is preferable lei
a vent in the cask remain open until fermen-
tation begins to subside, say ten or twelve
days, then stop tight. Let the cask remain in
dry clubhouse until freezing weather, then
put it in the cellar hawsed up for future use.
In about years time, it will be in the right
state for bottling, or the wine can be used
from the cask without damage, provided vent
is not used, or at best not used longer than is
sufficient to let off what you wish 10 use for
the time. A peck Of currants, as taken from
the bushes, will make wine quarts of juice. y

MoRRILL's MoDEsTY. At the Fusion meet

boasting of what had been done in New Hamp-
shire, desired to know how many votes Nor

peted long time as grand Mass ConVen-
tion,' that no one dared to risk his reputation
for truth by setting any number. At last as
the silence began to grow painful, Gov. Nor
rill. who was on the stage, said 10000, and
Peck repeated it. Even Peck, who is equal

Commencement at Waterville.

We copy the following brief account of the
exercises at Watervlle from the Age:
1.-The commencement exercises of this insii-
tuition opened on Monday evening with sup
per of the Zeta Psi fraternity, which was nu-
merously attended by the brethren and passed
off very much to the qualification of all con-
cerned.
On Tuesday afternoon the Delta Kappa Ep-
silon Society celebrated the tenth anniversary
of its introduction into the college. aud an Ora
ton was delivered by Richard M. Mott, of
Rochester, New York, upon " Earnest Life. "
1t was well written, though we should suppose
hurredly, and was well received. A Poem
was also pronounced by Rev. G. G. Fairbanks
of Mass.
On Tuesday evening the anniversary of the
Literary Societies took place al the Baptist
Church, which was filled by an Intelligent and
brilliant audience at early honr. Rev. DR..
Sheldon of Bath, addressed the associations in
an able mantpr, taking as his theme, " Free

DIR. Young, of the "Touchstone," a paper
published at Lewiston, wields sharp and
truthful pen. We present an extract or two,
as follows -
" We feel perfectly willing things should

also invoke the wish that persons and parties
should receive at least significant appella-
