To villain bonds and despot sway -

what policy 30 likely to be adopted as the one
indicated by the Duke Of Richmond' We put
the question in all candor and earnestness.
What course SO likely to abase, denationalize,
corrupt and destroy the elements of strength,
purity and patriotism, religion and morals, as
to make this country the refuge of the slow
population of Europe-=the charity hospital OF
Europe-the pauper house OF Europe--and the
penitentiary of Europe' That the course spoken
of by this English Duke has been pursued for
years and years there is ample aud positive evil
dence in the Department of State at Washing
ton. Many of the potentates of Europe have
been in the habit of employing their aims houses,
poor-houses and prisons upon the shores of the
United States 1t was good investment for
them to get rid Of these wretohed beings by
paying the expenses of their passage across the
ocean, but it was an awful infliction upon as,
as the criminal records hospital and pauper
statistics, clearly demonstrate

TROUBLE IN THE CAMP. When rogues fall

A sore spot.-In an editorial last week we
unwittinely touched sore spot on our brother
of the Jeffersdnan. We alluded to the fact
that he was an office-seeker. He is. He was
an applicant for an inspectorship under the
present collector Of the Bangor district He
failed and turned his pen against the Pierce ad-
ministration, which doubtless he would have
defended to the best Of his ability for So per
day. We alluded to the fact of his being in
the office-seeking market, and he takes his re-
venge by opening his columns 10 those who de-
sire to abuse the Mercury. We say, open his
columns, for it seems TO us that the abusive ar
tcle in question exhibits more ability than the
editor has credit for possessing. 1t makes no
difference whether he writes or prints so ia. as
the indecorum of the thing is concerned But
he NEEDLES with an affair which is nore of his
particular business, and we trust gets well
paid for il. We ask for no office, take no paw,
and can fight our own battles. When the
smoke blows away, we can tell who are among
the killed and wounded.

Hindoo /" Worthless.

The Albany Knickerbocker says. there are
three papers in the state of New York which
are particularly down on the ID furrin-
ers +" of all kinds-the Albany State Register,
Rochester American, and Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser, and yet. strange to say, the lead
ing men of these papers are of foreign extrac-
tion. Lacy, one of the propretors of the Reg
lister, was born in England. Mann, of the
Rochester American, was born in Scotland,
and until he was IA years of age, peddled itch
ointment around Edingurgh. Parmelee, of
the Buffalo Commercial-the man of the
twenty-five dollar character was an Eng
lish soldier, and left the army one day under
the escort of one drummer and two rope ends
These are the men who are now "rallying
round the constitution" and who insist that
foreign influence will yet undermine the liber-
ties of the nation.

Packing the Jury Boxes.

E,.or,ov IN BALDWIN. The annual cleo
,;o,, IN baldwin was concluded on Saturday,
tbe.meetine being adjourned from Monday
Christopher d. Sawyer was elected Modera-
tor and James Norton, Clerk, and Cd Select
man. Cyrus Brown was elected first Select
man and Treasurer, and L. D. Richardson,
Sd Selectman. Albert Sanborn, Town Agent,
and c. d. Sawyer. S. School Committee
On Saturday the Jury bor ,cas reused, and the
names Of Name LdiO men put into it, All the
above~ticket is Republican, with the exception
of James Norton.-Port. Adr.
We see in the above paragraph what the
Maine law fanatics are up to. The jury box
es are to be packed so as TO keep out fhe
names of all persons not avowed Maine Ia"
men! No matter how respectable citizen
may be-he may be strictly temperance man
and well fitted in experience and intelligence
for juryman, yet if he does not swallow all
of Neal Dow's temperance notions and enforce
his principles with ramrod, he is to be shut
out of the jury box.
Independent, intelligent voters can easily
see what we are coming to. A large portion
of the people of the State are to be prescribed,
and deprived of the responsibilities and prv-
leges conferred by the Constitution, for op'n-
ions sake,
A citizen must be in favor of the Maine law
just passed by the Legislature which impris-
ons man for furnishing his neigh5or glass
of wine, under all circumstances, or he is cut
off from the privileges and responsibilities OF
citizenship. Can this be true! Is it possible
in this boasted land of republicanism, that
such despotism is rife! Bye and bye shin
dooism" will rule our Judiciary. Neal Dow
went before the Legislature with petition
to abolish the municipal court of Portland for
the object of removing the judge whose deci-
sions did not square with his notions. He ad-
mitted that was his object, and that the policy
is to get the whole control of the judiciary de-
partment If in this State we are thus to
pass under the control of despotism that
would disgrace half-civilized community,
then let us know il, so that if there is man
hood enough left to save US we may at least
make an effort for salvation.

Committee.

The Augusta correspondent of the Bangor
Journal, gives the following account of the
fusion scheme to squander the public lands,
while the State was borrowing two hundred
thousand dollars to pay for them; and we are
glad TO see that he awards due credit to the
old line democrats for defeating it
The first move in the programme of these
Red Republicans, was concerted onslaught
upon the public lands of the State, got up un-
der the eye and supervision Of Mr.. Morrill,
Hence that stupendous piece of fraud and in
iqniy. the Omnibus bill. so called-a bill
for robbing the people of 500, 900 worth of
timber lands, for the pretended purpose of en-
dowing certain literary institutions under the
control of the leading religious denominations
of the State. Under this bill, the sectarian
friends of Mr.. Morrill, were to receive the re-
ward for their services. Evangelical and nom
Evangelical, Jew and Gentle. were to share
alike, as their votes counted alike This was
to be the shackIe-bolt that was to connect the
church car to the Great Republican Loco
motive So bare-faced was the design, that
even that shameless and reckless majority was
compelled to abandon it. But out of the re-
mains of the monstrous iniquitv. arose the
proposition to donate S6O, 900 for the same
purpose. BY dnt of log g-rolling and presence
of sectarian horse leeches, bill for that pur-
pose passed the Senate, and only failed in the
House of Representatives by the determined
efforts of the old line democrats and the most
honest portion of the Fusionists, led by your
representative, Mr.. Hill, to whom belongs
much of the credit of its defeat.

Circular from Secretary Guthrie.

The Secretary of the Treasury has issued a
circular to the COLLECTORS of Customs, relative
to the Reciprocity Treaty, in which, after re-
citing the terms of the Treaty, he gives the
following directions -
Collectors and the other officers Of the Gus
toms will Immediately on receipt of this circu-
lar, transmit to the Department statement of
alLthe receipts issued at their respective Of
hces, on entries for consumption of the articles
specified in the schedule before referred to, in
pursuance of the directions contained in in-
structlons to certain collectors, dated the 10Th
October, 1854, and General Regulations No.
36, dated 10th November, 1854, which state
ment will show the names of the parties to
whom issued, the amount of the duties for
which the respective receipts were given. the
quantity and description Of the article or arti-
ces on which levied, the date of the entries.
the name and nation of the vessel or other We
hicle, and the places whence arriving. They
will also transmit statement of all bonds
given upon entries for warehousing of the ar
tlcles referred to, giving such particulars OF
the transaction as will show the true object of
said bonds
1t will be perceived that agreeably to stipu-
latlons OF this treaty, from and after the 10Th
inst, the date of the Presidents proclamation,
the articles enumerated in the Sd article there
of, when of the growth or production of either
of the provinces named in said proclamation,
are to be admitted TO free entry when import
ed into the United States from such province,
but due entry thereof must be made in con-
formity with the 7th section of the act of Con-
gress 60 to provide for obtaining accurate state
ments of the foreign commerce Of the United
States," approved the 10Th of February, 1920
In the enumeration above referred to, the
several articles TO be admitted without the
payment of duty, are, in most instances, spec
flied with sufficient clearness. 1t is conceived,
however, that to obviate difficulty or miscon-
struction, il becomes proper 10 state that in
regard to the class of woods as given in said
enumeration under the title of g timber and
lumber of all kinds, round, hewed, and sawed
unmanufactured in whole or in part" the fol-
lowing specified articles, decisions in respect
to all of which, with the exception of the arti-
Gle laths, have been heretofore made by this
Department under the existing tariff act, are TO
be considered as manufactures of ,U0od, and
therefore not admissible to free entry, namely:
beams, boards, pfanks, joists, shingles, laths,
lasts, slaves, hoops, headings, masts, spars,
knees, canes, palings, pickets, posts, rails,
rail-ties, or any other article of wood, entered
under the designation of timber or lumber, or
otherwise, if fully manufactured in whole or
in part by planning, turning, or any process Of
manufacture other than hewing or saving.
Application for the return of duties under
this circular, and the cancellation of bonds for
merchandise warehoused in bond, must be
made to the Secretary Of the Treasury, ac-
companied by the proper proof.

FACT FROM THE PhTENT OFFICE WHICH
the Patent Office that Caveat, when once

from the law,) forever, or returned TO the cav
Gator, even although patent may have been
granted thereon. The reason Of the latter
clause of this decision is that the caveat NAV
describe Improvements not involved in the ap-

they have right 10 them without the consent
of the caveators.

Discovery Of the body Of Emma Moore.

The Rochester papers of Wednesday morn
ing are filed with the details of the discovery
of the body of Miss Moore, whose sudden dis
appearance not long since, caused SO much ex-
element Il will be remembered how town
meetings were held, rewards offered, ponds
dragged, woods secured, and houses searched
in vain. The circumstances of the discovery
are described as follows
:" About FIVE o'clock yesterday Monday
afternoon, the city was electrified by the re-
port that the body of Emma Moore had been
found. As the report spread, crowds of peo-
pie quickly gathered, and in fifteen minutes
one or two thousand were in and about the
court house, into which the dead body of a fe-
male had just been conveyed.
1t was very soon ascertained that the body
had been seen by the friends of Miss Moore,
who recognized it as her body.
The clothes were very rotten, but nearly
perfect, and so far as was observed, nothing
indicated how she had come to her sad fate
The body was found in the foom which
passes between ihe old City Mills and the Phe-
nix buildings, and exactly In the rear of the
east end of the latter. The water had risen
rapidly, and was again falling, but the boiling
motion of the foom brought the body into
view. There was quite large hole in the
ice, and it is alleged that some boys, who
were amusing themselves on the floom, made
the discovery, and it was also seen about the
same time by Mr.. G.. b. Robinson, who occu-
pies room in the Phoenix Buildings.
The Upper Race, from which this foom is
supplied, is about the only place which was
not thoroughly searched last fall, Immediately
after the disappearance. Attention was al
most exclusively directed 10 the north of Maine
street bridge, because Miss Moore was last
seen on Maine street, and on account of the
prevalent impression that the screams on North
street proceeded from the missing woman. 1t
now turns out that the screams proceeded from
some other person-perhaps from some one
who designed thereby to misead.
Miss Moore disappeared on the night of the
18th of November. She has, therefore, been
missing four months and five days. Appear
ances indicate that she has been all the time
under water. But the manner and means OF
her death are as great mystery as ever.
It appears from the testimony of the physi-
clans that the deceased was enciente, and had
been so for six or seven months. This, to-
gether with refusal to marry on the part Of
whoever betrayed her, (Which may be sup
posed) will be considered as afording rea-
son for self-destruction.
Mr. Whitlocke, young man who was en-
gagged 10 be married to the girl, was examined
before the'cOroner's jury at great length. He
testified to an intimate, but not criminal ac-
quaintance with her.
The jury rendered the following verdict:
The deceased came to her death by drown
ing, but whether she drowned herself volun-
tarily or otherwise, the jury, from the testi-
mony, are unable TO say"

TERRITORY ACQUIRED FROM THE lNnIANs..-
By the treaty just concluded with the Chippe-
wa Indians, a tract Of land has been acquired
OF about II 900, 900 acres. This land is in ad-
dition to seven or eight millions of acres con-
veyed to the United States last September
The Winnebagos have also conveyed to the
United States nearly nine hundred thousand
acres of Land at Long Prairie, on the Missis-
sippi River, in Minnesota Territory, in ex-
change for money! and about 230, 900 acres on
Blue Earth River, in the same Territory.

Chopping up Paupers.

A great scheme of economy was started by
the late legislature. The Belfast Journal
says it was nothing more or less than plan
for putting the bodies of dead paupers to a
serviceable account,-that is, giving them up
to the surgeons for dissection. The idea is
about as pleasant TO think of as Dean Swifts
proposition for the relief of ireland by cooking
and eating the children while they were fat.
The pauper bill came very near being passed
by the % freedom and humanity legislature.
By its provisions, if any of us should die on
the town, if we had any friends, they would
have to be alert, or we should be all chopped
up by young Sawbones, the medical student.
But we have no right to complain. In the
eyes of the Legislature that required $50. 900
by way of plunder tor the rich, even pauper's s
body should be turned 10 some practical ac-
count.

Sponging the Treasury.


The Portland Inquirer says "the Legisla-
ture refused to hold over till Monday as usual
for their pay. A thousand or two dollars
were thus saved to the Treasury" That is
false. 1t is been usual for the Legislature to
adjourn Mondsy morning and receive pay up
were entitled Ia pay till they adjourned. But
the laie Morrill-abolition Legislature ad-
journed Saturday, after making out their pay
roll to and including Monday, thus actually
taking pay for t,cO days after they adjourned
If that is not sponging the treasury, pray what
is itl And the fusion papers actually appear
to be boasting about it. But they are up TO
converting deception into capital in trade.

WIscAssEr, March cath. 1855.

~~~@~ss
Mr. EDIroR I'm reading the inaugural ad-
dress of the newly elected Mayor of your city,
was curiously interested. II bore strongly
on my mind that something of the kind had
before run across my travelling, and reaectng
for some time it flashed into light unexpected
ly, but Just in time to save the Union.
Some time think in the fall of l647, while
the court was sitting at Wiscasset, there was
held at Bath political meeting of some kind !;
it was either abolitionist, anti-slayery, free
soil, or something else in opposition to the
election of Gen. Taylor. may not be cor
rect in this matter, as heard it graphically
described by number of gentlemen from the
east who had been over to Bath to see and be
seen.
1t was something in this wise at the meet
ing: In the course of the evening, the Hon.
F. H. Morse was called upon for speech !;
he got up and after squeezing the lemon, re-
sponded BY saying that he did not come pre-
pared 10 make speech he did not expect to
be called upon; he had been SO unwell and
so much occupied lately that he had not had
time TO prepare one. After apologizing for
some time, until the audience began to think
in reality it was true, all of sudden he began
TO pull paper after paper from his coat pocket,
his jacket pocket, his trousers pocket, his hat
and perhaps his boots, then squeezing the
lemon again, he began and delivered one of
the most bitter harangnes against Taylor, his
friends, and the former friends of himself, that
was ever heard: An unholy war, he said, had
been got up in Florida against the Indians, at
the head of which was the murdefous Taylor,
with all his bloodhounds to aid him, imported
had been got up against the poor, helpless
people of Mexico, for the purpose of adding
more slave territory to the Union, and Gen.
Taylor was sent there TO murder the people !;
he had killed his thousands, and the man who
had killed the most must be the next Presi-
dent. Texas was brought in to take share
of the lash of the scorpion, the south all done
for the south, and so worse and worse, harder
and harder, stronger and stronger, until the
party, the nation and everything was demol
ished. Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof, but the gist of the thing is, the same
old stereotyped speech has again come to light,
with the same appliances and stinulants, al
though the monster had been kilt before.
Mr.. Editor, do hope when that lemon is
again squeezed, something else will be emitted
or elected from the recipient, besides vinegar
and gall against the south.
