BURGLARY.-The store OF VIM. B. Stearns
in this city, was entered on Wednesday night
last, and property to the amount of about
$500, (mostly jewelry,) stolen therefrom.-
The william removed two panes Of glass and
the piece of sash intervening, in the rear of
the shop, which afforded sufficient room to
crawl through. A considerable amount Of
jewelry had been added TO the stock the day
before, of which the robber was probably
aware. A reward of $50 has been offered for
his detection.

canvassing in York county for Morrill,, the
Maine law and know nothingism. If the Rev.

forced.
How is it nowi Morrill, wants votes, and
LIQUOR can be obtained anywhere. The boats
bring liouor-the railroads bring liquor and
the police officers in many localities wink at it.
The government rum shop agents preach hon.
lilies about the law needing mending in some
points. while they turn the faucets. In Ban
gor. the Morrill, papers are crying out. take off
the restrictions. and Elder Weaver is sluicing
liquors INTO the country for haying. In Au-
gasta, Hallowell and other places where they
have mayors claiming backbone to enforce the
law, they have taken the cover off the rum
agencies and liquor flows as free as water.
In Newburgh, Penobscot county, last year,
there being two democrats and one Morrill, Sc
lectmen no rum-agency was established. A
few weeks ago, under three Morrill, Selectmen,
an agency was established. although in oppo-
sition to the sentiment Of the town, and Wat
son Smith was appointed seller. The "critter"
is sold with but little restriction and more
loosely as election dag dra,os near.
In Monroe, an agent was appointed by the
conscience and was particular as to whom he
sold. A second was appointed who was troub-
led in the same way, and third was appointed
who objected to selling Unfortunately, but
we understand the Selectmen ordered it should
be sold to all. as IL ,could injure the cause of
Morrill, if it ,oere not.
A similar course is being pursued in other
towns. The Boston Traveller has the follow
ing in relation to Portland =
A correspondent of the Boston Traveller,
writing from Portland, says "In calling at
tention to Portland, the mind reverts at once
to the theme of the liquor law but less is
heard of this lately absorbing question than in
Massachusetts,. / see the liquor agency still
lives, with its array of casks, bottles and demi-
johns full in sight from two streets, while OPP
posite, holes in the glass of the front windows
of two stores remain mementoes of the late
"battle fought and victory won" This may
be the most radical Maine law city Of all 9TH
ers, but certain it is have seen more men
drunk this one day, than / have seen else
where in a week ~
A gentleman from New Hampshire informs
the editor of the Democratic Advocate that he
saw more drunkenness in the city of Gardiner,
where he had been spending week recently,
than he has seen in Dover for the last three
months.
The design of all this is easily seen. The
fusionists know that the law is unpopular
They would not believe it until recently. So
they have concluded to flood the State with
liquor to buy Morrill, votes and get up great
cloud of dust on Nebraska" to deceive the
people and keep the Morrill, Dynasty in power
year longer. They can't do it.

e The following we cut from the Portland
Argus. We commend the decision to the at
tention of our ,cise and learned officials
of this city, who SO boldly assume to take the
lao as well as the personal rights of our citi-
zens into their own hands. A word of caution
now, may save them much trouble hereafter :
SUPREME JUDICIAL Court, AUG. 7, 1855.
Howard, j. Several persons, male and fe-
male, were brought before the Court this af-
ternoon, as illegally imprisoned by Thomas
Norton, jailer.
On reading the allegations in the writ of
Habeas Corpus, it appeared that the accused
severally made oath that on the previous night
they were taken from their residences by the
Police and committed to prison, and were ig-
norant of the cause.
The jailer, Thomas Norton, justified their
detention as persons committed on suspicion,
and on information from the Police that the
petitioners were found disturbing the peace by
making a noise at The places of their residence.
This was denied by their counsel, who insist
ed that if they had committed any offence, as
alleged, the officers we're bound to enter
complaint at the Police Court seasondJiy, and
had no legal authority to detan them in prison
without legal warrant; thus the officers had
conducted unlawfully and were trespassers.
The respondents introduced one witness only.
After full hearing and review of the law;
the Court decided that the detention of the pc
titioners in Jail on the facts disclosed, was un-
lawful and void, and thereupon ordered that
they be severalIy discharged.

HANCOCK COUNTY. An intelligent gentle
man residing in the shire town of Hancock

concludes business letter to the Bangor
Democrat, with the following paragraph =
/" We hear the most cheering accounts of
the prospects of the democracy from every
town in this county. The people for some
time past have been awakening to realizing
sense of the degradation to which our State
has been reduced by the contemplate, hypo-
critical, and rotten dynasty now in power.

slavery, Romanism, and political corruptions,
can never be cured or checked by the whig or
democratic 'party-never, never! We must
come out and form new combination against

The Republican Journal very truly says this
letter indicates the course of policy of these
clerical Morrliles, our assaults upon whom
are occasionly denounced as impous. We

clergyman erects Arson P. Morrill, into place
next that of One whose name we will not de-
grade by using il here We call upon decent
citizens to observe that this heaven-born
movement" is the movement that illegally
spills the blood Of citizens; that imprisons peo-
pie who have no redress when legal decision
enlarges them from confinement /; that violates
the bill of rights and constitution which our
best legal minds regard as the palladium Of
our liberties, that makes a war upon religious
sect that proposes to distribute money from

bye under the lead of such blasphemous teach

Horrible Election Riot in Louisville,
Kentucky.

AT the election on Monday week, riot COM
menced in the first ward and extended TO the
Sih. Twelve buildings were burned by the k.
ms; about twenty persons were killed, and
many were wounded. One Inshman was
hanged by the know nothing mob, and several
were killed, and the telegraph says the Irish
fired from the windows and killed three Amer
leans. The mob dispersed in the evening after
violent demonstrations in font of the Times
Office. On Tuesday parts of human bodies
were dug from the burnt ruins and carried to
the courthouse, where large crowd colec-
ted.
From the following despatch in the New
York Mirror, paper friendly TO the k. n.
party, and to George Law for President, it
appears that the know nothings commenced
the horrible proceedings at Louisville =
AUGUST 6, 10 P. M. The excitement still
continues in the lower part of the city, and it
is believed that fifteen lives have already been
lost, besides great many wounded. The
Americans appear to have been the aggressors
having set fire to the houses of the Irish for
the purpose of smoking them out. One Irish
man, dressed in woman's clothes, rushed from
house with a child in his arms and took
refuge in the Jail.
In the upper part of the city, the brewery
has been burnt and many houses Quilted.
