heeo r6oss,'sgainst them, sought to attain their

heen orpss against them, sought to attain their
object BY intensifying the law. They failed
to see that every added harsh feature multi
Piled the number of its opponents. and instead
Of strengthening only weakened the law
They were blind to the fact that their legisla-
tion was far ahead of'publc opinion, which
might have tolerated a stringent, but not sim
tensiied'' law. They committed the common
mistake Of over Jealous resormers, of going
too far, and thus bringing on themselves what
IS sure TO follow extreme measures, reaction.
Political demagogues helped to bring the law
into disfavor, and the injudicious and arbitrary
proceedings of the authorities OF Portland In
The recent riot, lent an impulse TO this reac-
tion. The result is to be found in the returns
of the recent election.
The lesson ought not to be lost upon other
states. Legislation to restrain and regulate
the traffic in intoxicating liquors is an ac-
knowledged necessity, but such legislation
ought 10 conform to public opinion. The mo-
ment law is enacted which seems TO infringe
upon the reserved rights of the people, and
which, from its very siringency and intensity,
cannot be lnforced, that moment reaction
must, in the natural course of things, take
place, and il is too often the case that reac-
tion turns the march of reform backward to-
wards the opposite extreme.
All this is true to the letter. A democratic
legislature passed the first Maine law, and
democratic governor signed it, and though not
what the masses desired in all respects, yet it
was submitted to patiently, with the hope that
it might work well. But its friends were not
content TO ''let well enough alone" They
must continue to "pile on the agony"-to
draw the strings tighter and tighter-to force
it into the political field and to make it step
ing stone TO power.
The result is natural one. They turned
the screw just once too often, and the people,
concern.
We have also before US sensible letter,
cut from the Boston Bee, the leading know
nothing paper of Massachusetts, which thus
speaks -
g The defeat of the republican party of
Maine is owing entirely to the unnecessary
action of the legislature upon the Maine liquor
law, the unpopularity of Neal Dow and his
never to be forgotten or forgiven conduct in
June last, and lastly TO the Incorporate, incen-
diary speeches of Senator Wade, of Ohio, and
other speakers imported for the sake of saving
the State. These things have met with de-
served rebuke, while the peoHe of Maine are
to-day as true to the best interests of temper
ance and anti-slavery as they were twelve
months since. Upon these questions every
honest heart beats truly and responsively
there is no change of sentiment, but on the
contrary, the people of Maine have arisen in
their mighty strength to put down intenperance
aud tcLdte slavery fanaticism. They have tri-
umphed gloriously."

Important Admissions.

The Bangor Mercury, one of the most zeal
Gus of the Republican prints, has an article en-
titled "Watchmaa, tell US of the night =
have charged against the Morrill, party, is ad-
mitted to be true. The editor says
"Of the hundred thousand voters of the
State SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND will speak
in 1856 against the policy and the men that
bear sway in national affairs now"
That calulation gives THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND
Supporters of the administration in Maine. A
few months ago. the Republican papers would
have it that only the o6fce-holder supported
the administration. At this rate. we shall
sweep the State in 1856.
He then scanifies the isms Of the Republican
party as follows telling truths which have been
iterated by the democratic press hundreds of
times -
I" Meantime, let US remember that we have
our duties and needs in the line Of domestic
discipline. We have been governed too much.
The men of isms, the partizans of humbug, the
men who in politics, barring the brains,
what Barnum is in shows, have kindly and pat
ronizingly taken up our cause as a sort of an
American Museum, where they could sell their
Fejee mermaids, exhibit their Joice ileaths,
ride their Woolly Horses, trot out their Bloom
ers, and nurse their two headed babies. Not
only the Extremists and the Impracticables
have invaded our house and advertised their
wondrous wares from our windows, but we
have also had upon US q whole Chelsea Hospit
al of the run down politicians of the old parties,
men who contributed TO our cause what they
brought away from the old organizations, ev-
hipU hut whO had and have u
real sympathy tcith the masses, and. as IL has
proved, uery httie skill IN cheating them. All
these old seed cucuubeiS of defeat, already grown
yellow, must be laid away
OF course those sore-headsd democrats who
did not get Office from the national administra-
ton, and went in vigorously for Morrill,, out of
revenge will apply as much of the above as
they please.
But hear him further. He says =
No, the less we have TO do with the polti-
clans or the modes of action of the old parties,
the better it will be for US. Perhaps we cannot
manage our conventions and gatherings Nth
quite such elegant sn,oothness if these gentlemen
are induced to be absens, but we can do what
is better, we can find more of the rank and file
with US on election days. Let these old breeders
of disaster stand aside, and let go to the peo-
pie next year under the working of good DEM
ocratic, human men. These aristocrats and
despisers of the people are only burden upon
u.s."
There it is, all out. The "elegant smooth
ness" of the old "seed cucumbers' is not what
the republican patty want-4th of July speech
es from Bath orator, however smooth and
sugared, are kind of pills that won't so down
The sold breeders of disaster are not wanted
"a broad intimation tina, certain gentleman
who have figured conspcrously in the repub-
hcan party, are the Jonahs that have swamped
the republican ship. The Mercury is decided
ly of the opinion that the party stand in most
need of THE PEOPLE. That is our opinion, and
that need will be more apparent in the future

What did it.

There are various speculaiions as TO the
cause of the unprecedented change of popular
opinion in this State, as manifested at the late
election.
Among the most sensible articles we have
seen upon this subject,-says the editor of the
Argus,-is one in the Boston Mercantile Jour
nal. This paper is, and always has been, a
decided advocate of temperance, with strong
Maine law proclivities. 1t looks also with fa-
vorable eye to the contemplated fusion move
ments in Massachusetts. We make the fol-
lowing extract, and commend it to the thought
ful attention of the "intensifed" members of
the republican party Of Maine -
1t is easy to trace the causes which have led
10 the defeat of the Maine law in the State in
which it originated, and from which is derived
the name under which prohibitory Legislation
is knewn from-one end of the Union 10 The
other and even across the wide Atlantic. The
first law-the original Maine law-was nm
doubtedly the offspring of genuine philanthro-
py and of desire to ameliorate the evils Of
intemperance. 1t was novelty in legislation
and was looked upon by many as worthy O
trial and as promising relief from evils which
are generally acknowledged. But as the ar
bitrary features of this Legislation became de-
veloped, and the very stringency of some o
its provisions defeated the operation of the
law, its friends, instead of modifying thest
provisions-to remove the objections which hat

BATH, SEPTEMBER 81 1850
pecease Of Hindooism in Massachusetts,.

UeceaSe OF 6lnuooiSAn ''.'
r,a fs;or convention for the nomination Of
s,.,a ofrcers in Massachusetts,, was held at
Worcester last week. Gov. Gardner was
thrown overheard, and Julius Rockwell was
nominated for Governor. 1t was a triumph of
aboli,ionnm. The Hindoos of Massachusetts
who year ago, were unconquerable. carrying
everything before them have dwindled down
to a minority in State Convention. and Hen
ry J. Gardiner, the author of that much laud-
ed message on the beauties of Hindooism has
been swept into political nonentity. What
fall was that, my countrymen HISS famous
fall was no'comparison to it. 1t was the death
struggle of the valiant leaders of the faith' on
their own ground, He fell-to rise no more.
The Boston Post SAYS there is no disguise
about the character of the party that nominat-
ed Rockwell. 1t is as complete a seetlonal
party as ever was formed, or as can be formed.
Its platform consists of one plank; its undis-
guised design is to war on slavery; and its
ends are more thoroughly and deeply aggres-
sive than those of any platform yet erected
The plan Of restoring the Missouri line is Gbaa-
doned! r
And what else could have been expected
from the politicians who control this Massa-
chusetts partys In its convention, welding
directing influence, were the identical freesoi-
ers who have led the party in that State since
IS4s. There were Henry Wilson, E. L. Keyes,
F. W. Bird, R. H. Dana, Jr., Stephen c. Phil
lips, Samuel E. Sewall, and a crowd of names
of like tenor, who did the work.
We notice brief speech made in the con-
vention by gentleman from Maine, who took
occasion to blackguard the people of his State.
The most refreshing portion of his speech is the
intimation that he intends to move out Of the
State We copy the speech, that the people
Of Maine may see who goes abroad to villfy
his fellow citizens -
AIR John Sayward, of Bangor, of the Phila-
delphia convention was little sorry about the
election in Maine, but thought that 10000 of
such men as voted the republican ticket in that
State would triumph when the right issue
should come. If not, he would leave the State
of Maine 10 its benishtedness, and come back
to Massachusetts,. He made backguard al
lusion to the voters Of Maine as coming from
living graves to seek for rum. He went INTO
an elaborate history of that immense move in
political economy, the philadelphia k. n. con-
vention, where heroism eliminated and the
north proved itself incorruptibIe, ending in an
appeal to the meeting to harmonic.

NEAL Dow AND THE CHRISTIAN MIRROR

NEAL Dow AND THE CHRISTIAN MIRROR
Father Cummings says:
at is a curious and significant fact. that The
Independent was the first paper in the country
10 publish want of fealty, on our part, to the
cause of Temperance. We do not charge that
paper with inventng the accusation; for it was
signed BY Neal Dow-a specimen of the viper
Gus cunning ofthat restless creature, who knew
the slander would thus go silently into every
county of Maine, and poison many minds with
suspicion, thus fulfilling its errand of maligni-
~, and preparing the way for ulterior abuse
However, we let it pass without any public no
tice, till it was brought up, and brought home
to US by minister in the interior of our State.
Then we repelled it, aud demonstrated its ut
Ter and eutire fasity, and requested The Inde-
pendent TO correct !; bnt we watched the paper
week after week without seeing any correction.
And from its treatment of The Puritan Record
er, as well as The Mirror. we infer it to be the
editorial law of that establishment, not TO cor
rect mistakes in behalf Of contemporaries not in
full sympathy with it."

Rev. DR.. CLARK ON VOLUNTARY OATHs.-.
Let all know-nothings, (says the Mississippi
any, and particularly those protesting religion,
ponder the following extracts from the Gospel
of Jesus and we especially fyite the at,en-
tion of Methodists to Rev y. Clarke's com
ments thereon. Turn to the Epistle of James
5th chapter. and 18th verse, and read "But
above all things my brethren, sloear mol, neith-.
er by heaven, neither by the earth, neither BY
any other oath, less ye fall into condemnation.
So likewise in Mathew, 5th chapter, and 34th
verse =" But say unto you, sacear not at all,
neither by he3Ven, for it is Gods throne, nor
by the earth, for il is His fnoisiool, nor by Je-
rusalem, for it is the city of the great King"
Rev. DIR. Clarke, in his commentary on these
passages says: I" He that uses any oath, ex-
cept that which he is solemny called by the
magistrate TO make, so far from being Chris
tain, does not deserve the reputation Of decen-
cy common sense"

The DESERTED WET. B. Peterson.
Philadelphia, is about publishing highly in
teresting work with the above title, from the
pen of Mrs. E. d. E. ~ SouTHwoRrH, author
Of the " Missing Bride,'' g Lost Heiress,''
SC. The book is printed on good paper in
clear and readable type. The scene is laid in
one Of the Southern States, and the story gives
picture of the manners and customs of the
Planting Gentry, in an age not far removed
backward from the present. The characters
are drawn with strong hand, and the book
abounds with scenes of intense interest, the
whole plot being wrought out with much pow
er and effect, and no one, we are confident, can
read it without acknowledging that it possesses
more than ordinary merit. The author is a
writer of remarkable genius and originality
manifesting wonderful power in the vivid de-
picting of character, and in her glowing de-
scriptions of scenery. We venture to predict
rapid sale.
