The question naturally arises, did or not VIM.
A. Barstow, when he was present and assisted to-
open this bid the hour of midnight on the LIST
OF November last, and when he saw the prices
there fixed, for work and material, knosp that it
was fraudulent operationi Did he, or did he
notkno that this proposed Asylum would plunge
the State hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt
ii the work was done as he contracted in Did he
or did he not kRoto that tho work would cost more
than twenty times what the law contemplated
Did he or did he not kn0to when he urged the
Legislature to sell the swamp lands and apply
the proceeds to build it, that it would swinde
the State clean OF about all interest in those
landsl Finally, if he was deceived when he a.
warded the contract TO Proudit, and had no per-
sonat interest in it himself k0Ic came he to get0 the
bill annalting 1t when the fact waS discovered and
the fraud discOreredi Facts speak louder than
words, and if they mean anything, they show
that VIM. A. Barstow and Andrew Proudft were
partners in this arrangement to bankrupt Wis,
consin, or plumber it of It's swamp lands. Is such
man fl to be Goyernerl
This grand edifce, designed to clean out the
public treasury was to be over 800 feet in length.
and to cover over two acres ofground! The diff.
ference between its cost and the Worcester Asy.
lum at lust prices was to be >$346, $40 O0.-TIe
difference between its cost and the structure au-
thorized by law was to be $429,S4J, ~!
Farmers of Wisconsin-there is a sample of
Gov. Barstow for you. 1t is no hearsay-no gos-
sip work These facts are taken from the public
records of the State, sworn to by great number
of credible witnesses. Gov Barstow has declar
ed to ut least one person lately, that he yet app
proves and endorses this proceeding, and that if
elected he intends to use every effort to have the
next Legislature confirm it. BE not humbugeed
by any clamOr about Maine Laws, or any such
trumperv. They are mere side and false issues
to direct attention from the real one. Do YOU
think the contractor would not spend $4,000
to re-elcct BarstOw and secure the next lcgisla-
ture? Do you doubt that he could aford it >
His agents are already canvassing among you,
and using money without stint to accomplish
this end. Rely upon it, The Luu&tc Asylum
contract is areal issue in this contest and act ac
cordingly: If that fraud is finally contaminated
or recognized by legislative action the state will
be bankrupt for twenty years to come. BY tho
nomination of A. w Randall, Esq, for the Office
OF Attorney General, the question is directly put
to you, to repudiate the swindlc by supporting
him, or to endorse Thy voting the Barstow nonl-

There is one thing which | cannot avoid
telling you-that is, the disproportonate num-
Der of fires that take place in this capital
II is weakness, monomania, a rsge.-
Seven, eight, nine, ten per day 1t is hardly
creditable. In fine, they have arrived at that
point that in every house there are rope lad
ders and other suitable instruments. No one
can lie down without having an intimate con-
viction that the house will be on fire in five
minutes. House burning has grown to be one
OF the institutions Of the country-it is hab-
it, custom. Ii there were no fires, people
would be disappointed. 1t is one of the most.
joyous pastmes Of the lower class. The boys
OF the neighborhood gather round the engine
houses, to be sure not to miss single fire
And there's where the row is when a fire
breaks out anywhere. They work, they
shout, the alarm bell rings and all the bells
are tolled Really it is something diabolical.

several barges and canal boats got adrift.
At Hudson, the tower of the New Episcopal

down by the gale. 1t fell with terrific din, and in

FORGED BILLs.-In an old number of
ChGn'5erSS JoarsaI is an article upon Debt
and Credit at Home and Abroad" from which
the following statement is taken
Who, for example, would suppose that Lon
don firms Of character and eminence deal
knowingly and Systematically in forged bills
Yet such is actually the case. A great
many dealers, whose names alone can some
times turn the current OF the market, have
quiet drawer in which they stow away these
bills just as they would any Others, The
principle upon which they proceed is simple
one. They know their customers he is a
man Iii business, with stock in trade, a
character to lose, and greatly in want of ready
money. This customer forges to his bills the
name usually of a near relative or some one
OF moneyed fame with whom he is connected.
The dealers, fully aware of the circumstances,
take the bills They know well that their
customer viii pay these bills before any 9th
ers-that he Will run all risk, upon all pay
ments make all sacrifices, rather than leave
these bills unpaid, with the terrible conse-
quences Of their examination. The customer,
IN Tact, says to the dealer, s. l put my liberty,
my character and prospects in your hands: if
L fail in my engagements you will have the
power to transport me as felon 1 shall not
run that risk l have such and such proper
ty, such and such connections; lend me so
much money" The dealers do not hesitate
to comply.
In fact, this forged paper, under the cir
cumstances, was, perhaps IS, considered the
very best of security.

Doors AND SHOES BY MAcHINERY.-Prep-
aratons are actively being made for entering
upon the manufacture of boots and shoes by
machinery, in the building formerly occupied
by the carpet factory. The machine by which
the labor is to be performed is the invention
of a French mechanic. II is claimed that
with one of the machines, single man can
perform an amount of labor equal to that done
by eight men, in the old method.
This new branch of business, when fully
in operation. will give employment to some
two hun dred and fifty operatives. Most Of
these are French-a number who have already
arrived, are wholly unacquainted with our
language.
The company establishing this mandatory
own the patent right for the United States
They intend extending the business to Eu-
rope, and will probably furnish boots for the
French soldiers in the Crimea. = Troy Wing.

REPUBLICAN CAUcUs.-A spirited meeting of
the Republicans, of Worcester, was held at Hort
ticultural Hall, last evening, to consult upon mat
tiers relating to the coming Municipal election
The attendance was large, and there seemed TO be
an almost unanimous desire that the next city
government should be elected without reference
to party considerations, and the following resolu-
ton was adopted with almost entire unanimity:
Resolred-That the Republicans of Worcester
are ready to unite with their fellow citizens, with.
out distinction of party, in the election of munic
ipal officers at the approaching annual election.
Subsequently it was
Voted that committee of three from each

an able and elaborate address was delivered
by DR.. Dewitt. AT its conclusion, Mr.. Ben

that he heartily Joined Dir. Dewitt sin his
appreciation of the glory and grandeur achiev-
ed by the Dutch, and he must add that a
scholar of New England, and one who had
no superior, was about to bring before the
world history of the war in which the Meth
erlands emancipated themselves from the woke
of Spain. We should hsve history of tina
glorious struggle in very short time, delin.
Gated in brighter colors than has ever vet been
spread upon it, and illustrated from richer
materials. We should have such a work in
few weeks from the hands of Prescott III
honor of the Netherlands as the wofld had
never yet seen. And we might here see how
good was never lost. The Netherlands set az
example to us of a declaration of independ-
ence, and it was well known that the Dutch
declaration was the model of our own. The
Dutch republic had gone down. but not until
a greater and stronger republieShad risen up
to preserve alive life of republican freedom.
and to preserve it till that day when it should
revisit the shores from which it had been ex-
PEELED only for season. (Applause.)

which will afford a rare treat to the lovers OF

RESULTS OF SLAVERY. The Newburyport
Herald in a sensible article on this subject re-
marks:
The disastrous effects of negro slavery are
seen where it is established. The slave hold
ers constantly complain Of their losses from
runaway slaves, and in 1850 passed law to
have us return them; but there is not State
in the whole South that would not be better
Oft tomorrow if all their slaves should die to-
night. Instead Of pursuing the negroes to
carry them back, il is wonderful, when they
see the evil, that they do not drive them away
and hunt them with hounds and guns beyond
their borders. AS simple ILLUSTRATION OF
what slavery does in the Old Dominion, look
at this fact few days ago 10000 acres of
land were sold, in separate tracts, VARYING
from 1000 to 10000 acres, located in six diff
ierent counties, at from 10 to 2 l-S cents
per acre.
Just think of it, one, two, and three cents
an acre for lands in the best located and nat
urally richest State in this coniederacv, right
IN the heart OF the country, surrounded with
unequaled advantages This land was negro
cursed; nothing else was the matter. The
negroes had eaten up all that was on the sur
face and had not energy or intelligence
enough TO go below to the mines, or 10 renew
it on the top; and az no freemen will settle
with negroes, therefore it sells at less per acre
than would the ice. cakes about DR.. Kanes
vessels in the Arctic seas. What moro could
be sad against the slave institution than that
it has changed the garden of the new world
the Eden Of America-toa desert that sells at
two cents per acre Bnt this result is not pc
cullar to Virginia you can follow the dividing
llno west TO the last negro hut, and on one
siae Is the sunlight Of freedom, aud on the
other the shadow Of negroes on the first,
prosperity, progress, and real value, and on the
other Sloth, decay and poverty.
