those who are minlsterlng to your wants, you
tyrannical minon of English oppressors,' and
at every word, the long lash of the whip
wound its snake-like folds around the quiver-
ing body of the wretched victim, until, from
mere exhaustion, he released him, remarking
as he did so, There, if you ever want another
lesson in good manners, come to me, and I'll
give it to you with pleasure
The officers present made no effort to re-
lieye their prisoner from the well-deserved
punishment. They felt that he had richly
merited the castigation, and The crest-fallen
general was too well assured of their feelings
towards him to reproach them but he took
terrible revenge, when, after time he was
exchanged and returned to his command at
Newport, by burning the towns and hamlets
in his immediate neighborhood, and turning
their inhabitants houseless upon the world
He never forgot or forgave this inhicton of
punishment upon his person, and when, on a
Newport waited upon him regarding the busi-
ness of the town, he stormed and raved in such
manner at one of them, that he was COM
PEELED to withdraw. After the others had an
nounced their business, and the general had
become somewhat calm, he inquired 'Was
not my treatment of Folger rather uncivil!'
Yes replied The other. Them said Pres
colt, i will tell you the reason he looked so
much like id Connecticut man that horse
whipped me, that could not endure his pres

whom the Exc" of The Wing, welcomed
few days since, as " worthy laSorer" in the
Fusion cause -

be madel no subscribers 10 be gained that he
does not complete the trio He showed his
love and estimation Of freedom when he shut
up the school girls at Hallowell. His anti
slavery is more inclusion than exclusion
The odor of that transaction sticks 10 Wiley,
and announces his presence without the aid of
hand-bills, in his political tours"
The Argus mistakes in relation to the
Z" school girls :" Only one school girl had to
submit to his extraordinary discipline. She
was a girl o. about twelve years of age
School girls, he thought, have trespassed upon
his premises so he shut up this little girl in a
noisome privy for an hour as punishment,
and got deserved FLOGGING from her
brother. We see lately that Wiley has
brought Professor Hitchcock under the drty
discipline of his tongue. If the professor at.
tempts to fog him we advise him TO put on

was not aware until very recently that the
trophies taken during the American war are
not now exhibited with the other curlosities In
The Tower. l am informed that the Queen
gave special direction, some time since, that
they should all be removed 10 an apartment
appropriated exclusively for them, and on no
account are they 10 be exhibited ! This is an
interesting and significant fact, as showing not
only great consideration on the part OF the
Queen, but commendable desire to avoid any

theythink they have discovered what the philos-
opher Square termed the rigid rule of right
Undoubtedly if mans moral sense is not per-
verted, it is safe for him to appeal to it to de-
eide upon his conduct under all circumstances.
But there is so much moral obliquity in the
world that it is very unsafe, as general rule,
to allow men to act according TO their own no :
tions of right. The higher law theorists,
however, contend that every mans notions of
right shall govern his actions--for such is the
plth of their doctrine. This principle they
have extensively promulgated, and defended in
some instances with no mean ability. The
principle has been received and adopted by
thousands Of people, of all classes and charac-
tiers. With those disposed to lawlessness and
riot, ii has operated to encourage their evil
propensities, anG il has embodened some of
them TO commit acts of violence.
A short time ago German Association at
the west issued a manifesto full of infdel, So
cialis;ic and red republican doctrines. They
avowed principles which would have delight
ed Tom Paine, and would not have been un-
worthy of the followers of Anacharsis Clootz.
1t is known that there is class of Germans
who entertain these principles, and that we
have many of them in this country. But they
would hardly have been bold enough to put
forth this manifesto, and a similar one last
year, II they had not received some encourage
ment from our own people. A leading paper
in New York, one Of the chief advocates of
higher lavish, has for long time adyoca-
ted principles not very far removed from
those professed by the Free German Union.-
This paper circulates extensively at the west,
and 1t is largely copied from by the German
papers in that section. It's countenance and
encouragement have had no slight influence in
inducing the Germans boldly TO avow their de-
testable doctrines, and openly 10 organize for
the purpose of carrying them into effect
This paper is now daily promulgating its rad
zeal, red republican and higher law doctrines !;
and the injurious influence that it alone pro-
duces will account in some degree for the
In common with many others in the commu-
nifty we have not approved some enactments of
our national or state legislatures. But we
have always advocated obedience to all laws,
as long as they were upon the Statute Book.
If in our view they are objectionable, we will
use all legitimate and proper means TO procure
their repeal and if unsuccessful, will submit
TO the will of the majority. We deprecaie
! lawlessness in all its FORMS A reverence for
law is one of the chief supports of our system
of government. Our liberty will rapidly de-
generate into licentiousness when not controlled
and regulated by law. When the laws of the
land are respected and obeyed in all sections
of the country, and by all classes, there need
be no fears for the perpetuty of the Union,
and no checks in our progress towards the
high position we are destined to occupy among
nations.-Boston Trareller.

Captain Alden and General Prescott
HOUSEKEEPING A TYRANr.

General Prescott, the commander of the
British troops on Rhode Island, was one Of
those mean-spirited petty tVants, who, when
in power, exercise their ingenuity to the ut
most in deyising means of annoying and har-
assing all who have the misfortune to be sub
ject to their authority, but when circumstances
place them in the power of others, are the
most contemplate sycophants and parasites.
An aristocrat by birth, he had been reared in
the lap of power, and nurtured under the in

LETTER FROM Ex-Gov. HUBBARD.


LETTER FROM Ex-Gov. HUBBARD.
HALLowELL, August IL. 1855.
GENTLEMEN Il regret feeling compelled
to deprive myself of the pleasure of meeting
nv democratic friends of Sagadahoc county,
in their proposed mass meeting, TO be held at
Bath on the 18th inst. Neither my habits or
my tastes fit me for stumping, and had early
in the present campaign determined to accept
of no invitation for the purpose, and have rig
idly adhered to the rule. While feel deeply
and painfully the weighty responsibility rest
ing upon me and upon every citizen TO do
his whole duty to the Union in the present
fearful crisis, other and more Immediate and
more pressing duties demand my whole time
and resources. ] feel too, that | may, per-
haps, quite as well throw my mite in other
ways in aid of true democratic principles, as
by taking the course indicated by your invita-
ton. / am no alarmist am perhaps as free
from timidty or fearful forebodings as most
men nevertheless, cannot resist the convic-
tion that this Union is in danger such as has
not before been experienced. Sectionalism is
stalking abroad, rearing its hideous features
in open daylight; all constitutional barriers
are being broken down and trodden under foot:
the rights of conscience and liberty of every
man to worship God in his own way are as
sailed rights which drove our fathers from
their natal land, and compelled them to seek
refuge in the wildernesses of this continent
This refuge secured and made happy home
Tor ourselves, under the providence Of God, is
begrudged, and being virtually withheld from
cur brethren abroad, who are laboring under
burdens more grievous to be borne, than were
our fore-faihers. With out stretched arms
we have invited them TO come-lhe entire pol
icy and spirit of past administrations is now
TO be reversed And this is 10 be accom-
plished under the banner of a secret political
organization, oath-bound, and spel-bound by
dark lantern orgies, aided by aboitionism and
isms of all descriptions, under the coenomen
of fusionism. We are gathering the fruits in
riots, mobs and bloodshed, over the whole ex-
panse of our territory. If these things are
done in the green tree, what may we not ex-
pect in the dry. Can party whose initiatory
steps are marked with such results in the ad-
ministration of separate states, be trusted with
the destiny Of thirty-one united sovereignties I
The issue of the present and approaching
campaigns must decide whether they are 10 be.
Let every friend to the Union and to the
Constitution as it is, do his whole duty.
Yours, very respectfully,
JOHN HUBBARD.

We like mischievous children, and for this
reason They are apt 10 make old men,
Good boys generally die in their fifth year; not
because they are good, but because their quiet
habits make them strangers to mud puddles and
oxygen, dirt piles and outdoor exercise

never wants 10 leave his buoks,' the knob Of
his front door Immediately becomes an object of
intense interest to us we know, as well as If
we were blessed with fore knowledge, that in

HALLowELL, August 7, 1855.
GENTLEMEN While | must deprive my
self of the pleasure of meeting with my demo-
cratic friends of Cumberland, at the mass
meeting to be held at Gray Corner on the 9th
inst, be assured that / appreciate highly the
compliment paid me by the invitation, and full
ly reciprocate the feelings of respect and per
sonal regard expressed in your letter of the 1st
inst. There never was a time, in my iudg-
ment, in the history of this Republic, when
every true friend to his country, was more en-
phatically called upon TO do his whole duty in
sustaining democratic principles, upon the i'm
pregnable foundation of the Constitution alone.
Both state and United States Constitutions are
being widely departed from, in letter and in
spirit. No special pleading, no resort to soph-
istry, no array of by-gone acts or issues, no
recrimination can blink the fact out of sight,
that the Constitution Of these United States is
being openly repudiated and put at defiance by
our political opponents. 1t is high time, then,
to return to first principles, plant our standard
upon the Constitution, do battle for the Union,
the whole Union, one and indivisible, avoid
sectiondlisnl, and spurn it, as the fatal rock
upon which all the hopes, most dearly cher
ished, for ourselves and for posterity, the
hopes of the world, for freedom and free gov
ernment, must inevitably be wrecked.
Yours,
JOHN HUBBARD.

pen Of Henry Ward Beecher, is as follows !:
Alas that we should have SO many rarifed
men among US, who are 50 holy that they can
not quite touch the ground. and yet not etheri-
al enough to rise entirely up, and therefore
hang in an unpleasant oscillation between earth
and heaven, quite uncertain in their own minds

LETTER FROM Hon. ]. w. BRADBURY.

AUGUSTA, Aug. l6, 1855.
GENTLEMEN Il thank you for the invita-
ton kindly extended to me, to meet with and
address the Democratic Mass Meeting, TO be
held at Bath on the 18th inst. Indisposition
since the receipt of your favor, has prevented
an earlier reply; and while [ am unable to
comply with your request | beg you to be as
sured that | am not Indifferent to the success of
the Democratic party in its present struggles
against a dangerous combination of IsMS,
whose unchecked triumphs throughout the
North, should they carry out the system of
measures laid down by their leaders, would
result, as | believe, in the inevitable destruc-
tion of the Union.
However fashionable it has become for weak
and desperate men TO decry the Union, and
ridicnle all danger of its dissolution, 1 need
not argue its inestimable importance to the
citizens Of that district, whose wealth and
prosperity, more than almost any other In the
land, are standing memorial of its value.
With great respect, have the honor TO be
very truly yours, &C.,
JAMES w. BRADBURY.
