Hon. Edward Kent.

The Bangor Journal charges Hon. Edward
Kent with desertion OF the whig party as
follows =
The charge preferred against Mr.. Kent was
that he had deserted the whig party, and con-
sequently, was guilty of treachery and ingrdti-
tuds--and that his course after the nomination
of the Hon. Isaac Reed, for Governor, by the
whig convention last year, stamped him as a
dishonorable man.
Now how stands the case! The question
is simply one of facts.
First, his desertion of the whig party. II
is sufficient to say on that point that he virtu-
ally ignored the whig nomination last year,
and gave his influence insidiously against it.
He countenanced and attended the g fusion y
convention in this city, which he well knew,
and no respectfully intelligent man has ever
denied, was got up to break down the whig
party. The plot succeeded. From that time tc
the moment of his shamelessly proclaiming his
treachery by presiding over the late convention
at Augusta, he has used his influence for the
base purpose Of dismembering and destroying
the whig party. Is not this treachery and
ingratitudel

New Hampshire Election.

The open, bold, manly style,-says the Bos-
ton Post which the democracy of New
Hampshire conducted the late contest, was
honorable TO the members of the party as pol
iticians and as citizens. They avowed their
principles and purposes in undisguised voice,
and fearlessly met their masked opponents
hand to hand. Every honorable means with
in their power to employ, they exercised to
sustain the truly American cause-LIBERTY
OF AcTIoN AND OF CONSCIENCE. If they did
not win success, they at least deserved it, and
have acquitted themselves in manner that
excites the ardent admiration of the democra-
cv of the whole country.
The New Hampshire Gazette thus sums up
the result:
90 We have been defeated, and by the Tery
worst opposition and the most unprincipled
means The popular vote fully illustrates
the character and position of the parties in the
late contest. The democratic organization is
still supported by an army of 81 900 true men,
while the whig vote dwindles down to less
than 4 900, and the abolition vote is hardly
sufficient TO make a respectable count. The
know nothing party has swallowed up the
wings, free soilers, Burkites and soreheads,
with doubtless considerable number of hon
est democrats, who viii one day become sat
ished that they are operating with their old
enemies, whose sole aim is to break down the
democratic party, and build themselves up on
its ruins

thousand true democrats form Tioentv-ser-
en- thousand men-intelligent men-superior to
the arts of demagogues, political traficers,
and the malice of disappointed knayerv. will
soon redeem their ship of state from the nj
rates who have taken possession of her, and
condemn the mutinoas crew to that expiration
of their unpardohable offences which 1usticc
will surely demand. y
There is no despondeucy in the democratic
ranks-its members are proudly conscious Of
having performed their fall duty, and they
wait, with unfaltering confidence in their po-
sition the full development of the causes ol
their defeat and the acts Of the victors, to pro-
sues that impulsivs reaction ip the ninds d

and was sworn in by the City Clerk pro tenn.

that had called them together. Their respon-
sibilities were great-every river requires to
be fed by the murmuring rivuet. The du-
ties of the brief year we are called TO spend
together, must leave their mark upon society.
The gentleman then struck out into national
politics-reviewed the great evils of slavery,

the Florida war, "the unjust and unnecessary
war against Mexico, the Missouri Compro-

" Party Hacks. !"

party hacks of the new Republican party as
follows
Not party hacks Will the people of this

and see whether they do not recognize in them
old dilapidated hacks, long since run down in
seeking for office, or worn out in the service
of those parties to which they respectively be-
long, and cast aside as worthless Mr.. Kent

old federal stager, who having failed of being
elected Governor by the whig party, is de-
termined to try his luck in this fusion concern.
Downes, Blake, Ruggles and others, acted as
Vice-Presdents, nearly all of whom are at
this time office-holders, or members of the
legislature. The same can be said of the Sec
retaries, and the several committees who
served at the convention.
Prominent among others may be seen the
name of DR.. A. Nourse of Bath, broken
winded democrat, Woodbury. Davis OF Belfast,
Treasurer of State, Henry Carter of the Port
land Advertiser, who glories in his blue light
federalism, R. G. Lincoln, the Judge Advo-
cate of the know-nothings Perham
of the House of Representatives, Hon. Frank
lin Muzzy, Abner Coburn, federal member of
Mr.. Morrill's Council, Judge Ludden, Hon.
Job Prince and Talbot Of Pennington, the two
great competitors for the Land Ofice,-and a
host of other office-holders too insignificant to
mention. Not to do injustice to the Rev.
clergy, they were represented by Mr.. Kalloch
of Rockland, who declined seat in Mr.. Nor
rill's Council, for the purpose of dieting for
Congress-Elder Peck, of Portland, and Rer
Mr.. Cone, and last, if not least among these
evangelical politicians, that pink of consistency

The Royal Mail steamship Africa, Capt.

the greatest excitement No details had been
received, but there can be no doubt Of the fact,
as it was announced in the House of Lords on
Friday night, by Lord Clarendon, and in the
Commons by Lord Palmerston.
Surmises are afoat that he was assassinat-
ed, but it is thought he died of appoplexy,
after an attack of influenza. His illness was
known in England before the news of his
death was received, and caused a slight rise
in funds. The effect of his death, of course
had not traDspired.

q In an article in favor of the Oblivion OF
past .fei.ds in the democratic party, and ol
placing all citizens who act honestly with the
party and support its platform, on an equal foot
ing scithOm reference to the past, the Belfast
Free Press very properly says
The present Morrill, dynasty have seized
upon and demoralized the whig press and whig
organization past all hope of redemption. No
whig party can be successful ever again, as
such, in this state. No such party can exist
for any effectual purpose. But there are 6f-
teen thousand wings so called, and SO consid-
cred when there was whig party, who have
not bowed the knee to the dishonest coalition
which now disgraces the state. Where will
they got They are the honest, conservative,
respectable portion of the whig party, and
generally agree with the principles of the
national administration as now understood and
promulgated. Some ofthese straight whigs''
may wallow in the filth with Ans"n p Nor
rill and Austin Wiley, but the bulk of them
will not do so. Where will they got When
the contest arose between John Quincy Ad-
ans and Andrew Jackson, thousands end
thousands of democrats went over to Adams.
Not only distinguished individuals like PeIeg
Sprague, but whole communities like the
county of kennebec went over to Adams,
against Andrew jackson. What did the hon
est portion of the federal party do in this
emergency! it changed places with these ab-
senting democrats and came over to the demo-
cratic party, and to the support of General
Jackson. For every traitor that our party
lost, it got two honest men from the ranks of
our opponents Distinguished individuals of
great character and integrity joined our ranks.
Such men as the Hon. Ruel Williams, and
others came to the rescue, and whole counties
and states wheeled into line. Andrew Jack
son considered them upon equal footing with
all other friends of his administration, and he
was triumphantly sustained. We are pre-
pared to witness the speedy re-enactment OF
this extraordinary piece Of history. 1t must
be so. The people will gradually settle down
into two parties, and all who do not join the
rotten administration of Anson p Morrill,, will
join the democratic party, provided we keep
open the doors of the democratic church.
