HON. BURTON CRAfGE.

The Charlotte Democrat in raising the name of
the Hon. Burton Craige for reelection to Congress-
pays him the following well -,lrscrvcd COMPLIMENT
Mr. Craige is stronger in his District than he has
ever been; and though the opposition to him my
be determined and fierce, and blsed upon all the
isms lie will walk right over it hv commanding
majority. Such a man cannot be btaten. The Dem
ocrat says:
"As it seems to he the unanimous wish of the
Democracy Of the District that the Hon. Burton
Craige should be their candidate for Congress- vi h.
ont waiting to hear directly from him, We take the
liberty of placing his name at our mast head and
will keep it there until victory again perches upon
our banner
This is a Democratic District and to the bold
grounds taken and to the able exposition of prn
ciples by Mr. Craige in the late canvass we are to
attribute orr increase and growth. We cannot now
shadow forth what will he the issues, but thing
we do know, that Mr. Craige stands yet upon she
eternal principles of the party, unSwerved by the
Establishments Of power or unscared by the conb-
nation that seeks to rule or ruin. "
Of those who have watched his course in Congress
we confidently ask if he has not exemPlifed by his
conduct and acted out by his votes the very doctrine
advocated by him before the people?
On his first appearance in Congress he was met
with the Nebraska question. In the fearful strug
gle when the timid Shrieked and the brave stood
STILL we find him battling with friends of the South
for the very principles of State sovereignty promu
gated by the sage of Monticello, in the celebrated
Resolutions of so and 80, upon which not only
equality in the conftderacy depends but is the very
foundation stone of Republican Governments.
He voted against the Iunatc Asylum Bill the
Homestead Bill and all other attempts to squan'er
the public land and proved himself jealous guar
dian of the peoples rights. He lent cordial and
efficient aid to the Administration of President
Pierce than which none has more endeared itself to
the hearts of all national and conservative men.
lie is opposed tie all political secret societiesand
to Know Nothdgism in particular. He is friend
and advocate of universal toeration and goes for
the Constitution it from the hands of its i'm
mortal trainers in all its length and breadth. He is
opposed to monopoly, whether in the shape of
high protective Tariff, National Bank. secret mid
night societies convened to crush liberty of con-
science, independence judgment and the exercise of
private tights.
With all patriots and true suthern men he views
the Know Nothing order an insdious foe hatch
cd in the hot-bed of fanatacism, and designed, as
John p. Hale the Abolition leader of New York and
New Hampshire says, to Aboltionizc the South

and also An Address, delivered before the Med-

had the pleasure of hearing one of these Address
es at the time it was delivered; and we are glad
that DIR. Johnson, in response to the wishes of his
friends, has consented to unite them in the same
publication and present them thus in permanent
form. OF course, we do not presume to attempt
even to form an opinion upon points as to which
learned and laborious members of the Medical pro-

expressing our qualification at the evident ability
displayed, as in these Addresses, by friend; nor

TIE PORTLAND LIQUOR RIOT.

BosToS Monday, June 4, 1855.
The Portland papers Of this morning contain some
additional part cuas of the riot in that city on Satur
day night
The commencement Of the disturbances appears to
have been caused by the purchase Of the liquor by
Mayor Dow and the transfer Of the same to the City
Agency by his casting vote at the meeting of the Board
of Aldermen on Saturday afternoon.
The attack on the building was begun chiefly by
boys who threw stones, breaking glass, &c. Mayor
Dow then appeared on the ground hourishiug sword
with two military companies whom be had ordered
out. The appearance of the Mayor and military exas
perated the crowd, who received them with groans
and Kisses. Mayor Dow ordered the infantry TO me,
which order Capt Green refused to obey saying that
tbe circumstances did not call for such severe meas
ures.
The Rife Guard soon aferward approached when
the mob having burst open the door Of the liquor
rooms section Of the Company by order OF the
Mayor fred One person was killed and six or seven
wounded
A public meeting this morning of the citizens ap-
pointed Committee TO investigate the cause and par
fioulars of the not. A Coroners inquest has also
been impanneed 10 report on the death Of George
Robbins The Argus, in commenting on the riot,
says:
"a few p8nes Of glass and some other injuries done
TO the door of the quorstore would have been all tat
would have happened, and the crowd would have qui-
etly dispersed had reasonable spirit been manifested
But the presence Of Mr.. Dow brandIshing his sword
and anied by the soldiers the crowd
TO make moro violent attack upon the store. Tnese
acts were unlawful and uniustifable by those who
committed them but these did not in our judgment
call for or Justify tie shedding of blood.
HIbe loss of the liquor would have been OF little
consequence compared with the loss Of human hie,
which we must confess il seems to US was most wan
fonly sacrificed in this case. II it shall turn out on
Che irial TO which Mr. Dow and his contederates Will
have 10 submit themselves that the firing upon the
crowd was not required by the exgences OF the case
and not authorized by law, they Will be found guilty
of murder"
A public meeting was called to-day at 2 O'Clock to
Investigate the proceedings Of our city authorities on
Saturday night
The meeting which was largely attended, was pre-
sided over by Judge Wells, and addressed by several
of the the leading citizens. Committee of Nine was
then appointed to inquire thoroughly into the matter
md ii found necessary, to prosecute the city author-
Ties. The Committee also directed to wait on
Mayor Dow and request him on behalf OF the cfizens'
TO resign his Office.
Tho funeral of Robbins took place at o'clock this
evening His remains were followed to the grave by
an immense procession.
A large number of special policemen are on duty
tonight.

Board of Councilman met yesterday afternoon in the
Council Chamber of the Board for the purpose of con-
sdorng matters before them in relation to the removal
of the Fall River, Stonington and Norwich lines Of
steamers above Grand-st, Z. r.; also in relation to
the removal Of sheds at the foot of Christopher aud
Moron-sts and all sheds ensangering piers on tho
East and North Rivers. Councilman ii. SMITH in the
chair. Present. Councilmen Barney, Jackson, Gray
end jenkins.
Tie matter Of driving piles and erecting wooden
building foot Of Cbrisopherst., adjoining the oboken
Ferry, without the consent Of the Common Council,
destroying said slip for any oiker purpose while re-
naming IN the present position, was hrst called up.
Several Young men composing Boat Clubs appeared
before the Committee and represented that they were
mart occupants of the slip, and had small sheds tor the
shelter oftheir boats. The Committee, upon hearing
II cir statements concluded to allow the Club-houscs
10 r,mgin undisturted. As to the grain depot OF
SleipLt 4 Smith on the bukhead Of the same slip, Nj.
Smith appeared and stated that he had PAID 300 Tor
tie ease Of said slip but had not yet h lease
ftom the Controller. The Committee concluded to
make visit TO the place III question DeiOie niaAii5
any decision. 80
relative TO the removal Of blacksmith shop on the
pier foot of Morton-st no one appeared before the
Committee.
Tie following resolution referred to the Committee
was read:
p,,o,d That with view to remove some Of the street
travel nom part Of the City and at the same tn to
rseuce he risk life and property Ia the Of The EaSt
Yiytr between tie Battery and Corea hook II be referred
no The Com tee Whayes Piers and Slips 70 report II IS
IscIctbe The landings Of steamers Of Tue
and Fs River the NewYok and Stoningon AMI the New
YORK sno Norwich be removed 10 the East River above
Ggsld and to report IL what manner II can DC I7'
Effected. -
Mr. Hustled, the original mover Of the resolution
urged tic removal Of the steamboat lines to some point
above Grand-st., on the ground that it would be
benefit to tie City and vastly improve the eastern sec
ton Of The town. There was continued danger from
collision between the Sound boats and ferry boats on
the East River, and he thought if they were removed
al al they should 90 above Grand-st. There were a
hundred good reasons why the boats should not stop
below Crand-st. After some further remarks the mat
ter was postponed till next Friday for consideration
The removal Of Diamond Reef was next considered
Mr. HGswen urged that the Street Commissioner
had not awarded the contract to the lowest bidder
and insisted that the same should be granted to Heus
ted & KIoe they having put = estimates about 900
less than the party TO whom the contract mao been
AWARDED by the Street Commissioner.
Tie Committee finally concluded to award the con.
tract to the parties named, and stated that they should
report Accordingly.
The Committee tLen adjourned.
