1Rs-The Herald of Wednesday contains an editorial
port of the proceedings of the meeting of its party
held on Tuesday evening last at Temperance Hall,
at which I. James Norcom, Esq, presided, and Mr.
Joseph J. Lppitt requested to act as Secretary
The object of the meeting was to receive the report
of the committee appointed previously to prepare
ticket for Town Commissioners. The ticket reported
by the committee. and adopted by the meeting, has
already been published in the Journal. The Herald
closes its article with the following paragraph;
And now, we would ask the Journal and those with
whom acts, the gentlemen whose names thus pre-
citizens to interfere in the local affairs of our town "
This question implies a charge against the Jour-
nal and those with whom it acts,' or, at least, at
tributes TO them course of policy and the employ
ment of language which they do not pursue and
which they have not used. They wish to put an
end TO organized interference in local affairs
the part Of an order or party. This interference
was initiated by that order party which this ticket
represents They war not against individuals, bu
against the system under which could be
otherwise than an outsider without first subscribing
10 the tenets of an order. With all due respect tc
the HeraidS ticket, must be allowed to say that
the anti-Know Nothing ticket comprises the names
of gentlemen certainly worthy, and as much en-
titled to the character of property influential
citizens and good men, their opponents or as any
men in town and yet under the system of exclusion
introduced By the order they, and hundreds of other
worthy men, would be simply outsiders, with the
names paraded, even now paraded, in the town in
which they live and where their value is known as
Antl.Americans." 1t is this system-ths nterfe

anh-Know Nothing party wars. The Heralds tickle

Mediation.


The proposition of Mr.. Sumner in the
Senate, and Of Mr.. Clingman in the
House, that our government offer its
mediation between the parties to the Eu.
ropean War, could there be reasonable
chance of thus fastening the termination
of the bloody scenes enacted on the
Crimca, and restoring peace between the
bclligorent powers, ought to meet with
universal favor From the statements
of Mr.. Bayly, chairman of the Commit.
tee of Foreign Affairs, in tho House, it
appears that the administration had NJ.
ready turned its thoughts in this direc.
ton, when the subject was introduced in
Congress, and that it had concluded nil
such efforts useless. His language was.
as reported in the Glojc, that he had
reason to believe, and could say with on.
tire confidence, from his Sources of in.
formation, that oveftures were made on
the part of this Government with res.
poet to this matter; but, on tho whole il
was not thought advisable for us to in.
tcrfcrc with it,"
we believe this to be a sensible con.
illusion, and that any attempt TO press
'hIs matter would pot only be useless
but hazardous. Russia would no Doubt
be glad to listen, as she would have lii.
tie to lose by the delay incident to ncgo
tla'lon, But that she would ever yield
q particle from her ultmatum as already
declared, we do not believe, until driven
to DO SO by force Of arms. France and
England understand this perfectly well
They would resent our il!.;imed inter.
ference and would be likely to treat our
overturcs with very little respect
There is more involved in this war
than the four points" of Russia cover.
All parties understand this. Russia is
last becoming great and ovcrpowcring
nation. The lesser powers of Enrorc
are compelled either to limit the inAu.
ehcc OF this power, or fall beneath it.
This 1t is which has united the hitherto
hostile governments of France and Eng.
land, and is drawing Austria into their
alliance The position of Austria is cs.
pecially critical and her danger immi.
nent. AT least ninc-tcnths of her popu
latlon are Of the Slavonic race. and more
naturally inclined to Russian rule than
to hers. Bordering on Russian too she is
the most vulnerable Of ALL Hence her
apparent vacilation, while her interest
Is plain. If Europe is not to become
Cossack throughout, the Allied Powers
have work to do. And as our govern.
ment cannot remove the difficulty. or in
any manner mitigate the evil which
stands in the way of peace, it is wise to
let the matter alone

A Now ReDublic.

A plain is on foot for the cstablish>
ment of a new Central American Res
public. A company of some thirty gen
tlemen, among whom are Senator Coop
per, of Pennsylvania, and other men
of prominence and wealth, hold by trans.
fer an ancient grant Of the greater por ,
ton Of the Mosquito territory, compris.
ing some thirty million acres, made
many years since by that apocryphal
individual the Mosquito King, to one
Samuel Shepherd. Under cover Of
this, an expedition is to be sent out
under command Of Col Kinney, former.
" Texan Ranger, which is to take
possession of the Mosquito coast and
found an independent Republic. Then
by process of" expansion" or ans
nexation, the republics of Nicaragua,
Honduras, San Salvador, Costa Rica,
Veragua and New Granada are to be
joined to the new power and Federal
Constitution and government analogous
to that of the North American Union
lnaugu-ated forthwith.
The plan has the countenance Of the
Administration, and the bombardment
of Greytown is now supposed to have
been but the clearing of the way for
Col. Kinney's expedition. 1t is stated
that the Republics above mentioned do
net favor the movement at all, and
strangely enough look on Col. Kinney
as a fillibuster.
In view of these facts, the N. Y.
Tribune lately made the following in
quirics A." How are exploded Mosquito
grants to be made valid over territory
never belonging to the grantor ? how
are the United States to sanction the
violent occupation of the country of
three friendly republics ? and how are
we to plant a colony and establish a
new and independent State in Central
America without violating the Clayton
Bulwer Treaty ?" Questions which thus
far have gone unanswered.-Free
