The growth is more

and political rottenness. The growth is more
rapid, of all that is corrupt and ubiquitous,
from the element of secrecy the order possesses
That has heretofore proved its power-hereaf-
ter it will prove its weakness. 1t is hard to
maintain it and the expediency of throwing
it off and unmasking the proceedings Of the
order to the public gaze is even talked OF.
Every we'll informed man knows, and must
admit, that secret political cabals are opposed
to our republican institutions and if the
know nothings are enabled to make progress
out of this feature now, it is a game that two
can play at, and another party may arise and
sweep them to destruction by the use of their
own most efficient weapon. A great tempest
has been stirred up by the know nothings, it
is true, but what has been accomplished
Absolutely nothing, but the elevation of few
huckstering politicians to office. The tenden-
cy of all their manGuvring stewards national
whig party Democrats who have been de-
luded into the order begin to see it, and are
coming out of the rotten hulk in scores:
The combination by which we have sus-
tanned a temporary defeat, is already falling
to pieces. The democratic party in every
state is under complete organization, and the
fire of victory is re-kindling. The message
of President PIERCE has surprisingly mellowed
the asperity of his enemies. 1t has proved one
OF the most popular state papers ever issued,
and brings closer to him than ever his friends.
1t required the combination of everything to
defeat us--that combination must continue
perfect to do it again, and that, we contend, is
an impossibility. In this state, with the most
active effort, wings, free-soilers and all else
could not elect their candidate for Governor by
the people. A solid army of thirty thousand
democrats stood in their way, and we prom
Use you, friend or foe, that army will have a
wonderful faculty of beating up recruits in the
next battle. In the great state of New York.
we should have a Governor elected by the
people if the votes had been fairly counted.
Pennsylvania will come up right. In Indiana
the whole combined host beat us only twelve
thousand-in Iowa about two thousand-and
in New Jersey and Michigan the majorities
are very small. Illinois, California. N. Car
olina, Florida and Arkansas are democratic
all over. There will probably be three can
didates for the Presidency in the ield-the
democrats will carry almost the entire south
with enough northern states to elect their man
mark that. Then, democrats, look up-if
true to yourselves and the noble principles
you profess, defeat cometh for only day, and
the morning breaketh.

bills, and meet our promises. But what we
wish to notice in the above is the twit about
our poverty. We supposed gentleman
would never stoop to taunt person with be-
ing poor. 1t is our misfortune and not our
crime, that we are not rich. But we have
contrlved TO keep up reputation for common
decency and common honesty. We know OF
no one in Bath who has refused to give us
credit when asked. We venture to say we
could go to any of our first class hotels and
Obtain board-at least by paying in advance.
We were never requested to leave the com
pany of decent people, We have never been
refused the purchased inequalities of hotel
We think we could 90 tomorrow, were we so
minded, and secure rooms by the week or
month at the best hotel in Bath. We have
never forfeited our standing there-we hope
we never shall We hope the editor of the
Tribune will consider this no damage to us.
We take present leave of this gentleman by re-
minding him of the old adage-"Those who
live in glass houses should not commence
throwing stones.''
We beg ten thousand pardons of out read
ers for inflicting upon them this article. We
would have avoided the labor, but the voice of
duty was louder than that of inclination. Our
reputation and our paper are of some conse-
quence to US, and to be assailed by any one
repeatedly, who hoped to escape while smear
ing others with filth, was too much to bear in
silence. We felt called upon 10 show up this
man, who, while employed by the city at a
high salary to perform one of the most delicate
tasks, has let himself to do the dirtiest work
of party paper, and to descend to depths 10
which cultivated mind, chastened heart or
decent self-respect would never CONSENT
He has no right 10 complain. The dirty war
fare Of party should have been stunned by
him. His legitimate labors are of high and
sacred character. The teacher has labor TO
perform quite as important as the clergyman.
How often he makes impressions upon the
plastic mind which no after effort can remove
or displace. How important, then, that he
should bring pure heart and clean hands to
his work, and not come with his heart Tester
ing with wrath and passion, and his hands
soiled with gutter scum. Were we anenemy
to the Tribune, we could wish it no worse
than to continue its course--a course that
must prove fatal to any paper in any decent
community. Were we an enemy to our High
School. we should exult in the course of its
Principal. But we are an enemy TO neither,
and for this reason we regret the necessity
which has imposed this unpleasant labor upon
Eastern times. [volume] (Bath, Me.) 1846-1857, 1855-01-04
Cause Of the present Hard Times.

Mr. Gouge, one of the soundest political
economists in the country, gives the following
as causes of the present hard times =
"The present troubles in the money market
are owing chiefly to the following causes -
l. The rapid extension, under the fresh
supply of gold, Of paper money banking sys-
tenn, which rests on principles radically I'M
sound, especially in sanctoning the issue of
notes of small denominations.
2. The wars in the east, that have caused
capital to flow from Europe to Asia, instead
of taking its usual course form Europe to
America.
g. The attempts to make in few years
numerous and extensive lines of railroads,
which would, in reason, require many years
to complete them.
A. Extensive speculations in wild lands,
caused by reducing the price Of the public
lands, and by other measures which have
thrown into the market in few years as much
land as will supply the demand for cultivation
for many years.
If there has been any excess Of imports, that
excess has been caused wholly and solely by
excess of bank issues. 1t is only link in the
chain of effects, like extravaganza in living,
and all the other evils which are the conse-
quCuCtS VI paper CuIleuCy luudtiONS. 1NOI
one of the causes singly, but the whole four
combined, have produced the high rate of in
terest. To suppose that any mode of man
aging its fiscal concerns which the United
States government might adopt could counter
act such causes, is a folly of which no rational
man will be guilty Nothing but the constant
influx of gold from California has prevented
general bankruptcy and ifthe regular supply
from that quarter should be interrupted for only
a few months, it would, so tensely has credit
been strained, be followed by the most disas-
trous results. 1t is no more in the power Of
the general government, by any fiscal system
it may adopt, TO counteract causes of such
nature as those above mentioned than it would
be to correct the evils that result from the want
of industry, economy and prudence on the part
of individuals. But if the constitutional
treasury system is faithfully carried out in all
its parts, it will produce the best effects"

Death Of Gov. Dorr.

Thomas W. Dom died on Wednesday, at
Providence. He was 40 years of age.
The Hartford Times truly says that the
name Of Thomas w. Dorr is indissolubly con-
nected with the political history Of Rhode
Island. Taking prominent part in the strug-
gle of the people against the unjust aud OPP
pressive provisions of the old 4" royal charter y
Of Rhode Island, under which portion of the
citizens of that State had long felt that they
were deprived of valuable part of their po-
litical rights, Governor Dorr became, in the
stirring times of 1912, leading spirit Of the
republican movement there, and marked man
by the enemies of equal rights. That effort
of the people to free themselves from their OPP
pressive and anti-republican charter proved
unavailing. In some respects it was il-ad
viseG but we believe the motives that gov
erned Thomas w. Dorr were sincere and pat
riotic He was defeated by the enemies Of a
new charter, and was thrown into prison for
the stand he had taken in the struggle. From
the effects of this Imprisonment his health re-
ceived a shock from which he never recovered
He has gradually failed for several years, and
at length he died, as we believe, martyr to
what he felt to be good and just principle.

- We see it stated in the Eastern Argus,
that Joseph E. Spear, an employee in the
Boston Post Office, has been arrested, charged
with stealing letters containing money. He
acknowledged his guilt and gave up about
5000 Of the amount Post Master Bailey had
discharged Spear some days ago on suspicion
of dishonesty.
Several letters containing money, and duly
registered at the Post Office in this city, di-
rected to Boston, have failed of reaching their
destination during the year past. This arrest
gives clue 10 the probable appropriation Of
their contents.

Bill TO PREVENT THE IMMIGRATION OF
PAUPERs AND CRIMINALs.-The recent devel-

this country by foreign powers, has induced
the Committee on Commerce in the House to
prepare an important bill on the subject, which
will soon be reported. The following are its
principal provisions E.
{" No foreign passenger shall hereafter be
admitted into port of the United States I'M
less he shall have the certificate of the Ameri-
can consul of the place from which he comes,
that he has not. for one year previous to his

viously, been convicted of any criminal Of

The Chootaws and the Missionaries.

The American Board of Missions, declared
by resolution that unless the Choctaw General
Council repealed an act passed at the session
of last year, prohibiting the missionary teach
ers in charge of schools in the nation from
teaching slaves and the children of slaves in
the same schools with Choctow children, they
would withdraw their children and such sums
of money as they have been yearly contributing
to aid in their support.
This proceeding, it seems, has excited the
Choctaws very much. The chief, Col. Har
llins, has sent a message to his people in
which he refers to the matter in very indlg-
nant terms. The exasperated Cboctaw says
There is no State in the Union which would
be willing to have the abolitionists teach their
slaves but because we are Indians, he says,
they think they can have this privilege. The
missionaries have been treated well, as mis-
sionaries ever were the children have been
placed in their hands they have never been
prosecuted ; they have been allowed to preach
to the slaves. But the laws against teaching
them to read are necessary, because the abo-
litonists are dangerous people, who regard
the laws neither of God or man as binding
upon their conscIences. If the Board of Mis-
sions do not like this prohibition, let them
withdraw their teachers, "and the sooner the
better" Let US look, says the chief, for
teachers among men who will not attempt to
prescribe our civil rights, and with whom we
can live in peace. and from whom we shall
have no fears that they will teach to our
slaves anything beyond what the Apostles of
Jesus Christ taught in their day. And, with
true Yankee knowledge that money can buy
anything missionary well as politician
he adds, g Our people need not fear that the
schools viii cease on account of the threatened
withdrawal OF the present teachers by the
American Board of Missions. 1t was our
money that brought them hither, and surely
our money can bring US others as good, If not
