We copy the following portion of a
letter from the Maine Ez2ositor written
from Augusta March 9Th. The Exposi-
tor advocated the election of Gov, Wells;
and through its influence thousands OF
voters were induced to vote the State
ticket heaied,-tor Governor, Samuel
Wells. How many Of them, as well as
those who did not SO vote. have unwil-
lingly learned the fact that tAe Gov. can
not discern the diff renee between va
! ut measures and deciiei me 1sures?n
5; = :; 1t was not enough, that
Gov. Wells deemed himsplfa better jurist
than Judge Davis. and his colleague, on
the bench combined and thar eiore would
settle for himse.. all doubts OF Executive
power and duty. 1t wasrequired of him,
by the common respect of oar people for
a constitutional Judiciary, that in The Ex-
ecutive Department he would bow at all
proper times ana in all constitutional
modes. to the appropriate beh.sts of the
Judiciary, as the sole expounder of the
law in case of conflict and doubts and
even acquiesce in their decision. although
believed to be unsound. The response
bility of this, wonld have rested upon
our forms of government, no. upon the
Executive indiv dually. The Chief MAJ
istrate's glory should consist in subnis-
sion to the law. and in case of great
doubs, his appeal should be made. to re-
lieve himself ana Office of responsibility,
as contemplated by the constitution, to
the constituted judiciary. 1t is unw:se
advice, in my jud sment, that induced
Gov. Wells not to dc so in the matter of
the Sheriffcies, &C.

OF the Galena Line, will be in port, and will
be the packet going down this morning. No
boat of this line earned higher reputation
last year; and we fell assured that in charge,
as she now is, of Capt Lucas veteran of
the Ohio and Lower Mississippi rivers
will we'll retain her former honors. The La
dy has been thoroughly overloaded the
past winter at Rock Island, under the SUPER
intendence of Capt. Morehouse; all the de-
fective timbers were replaced with new ones;
her engines and machinery rendered as per-
feet as when new; her hull braced and
Strengthened, and the boat from stem to stern
and from keel to hurricane deck turned of
the ways in almost as good condition as she
was three years ago, when she "wore the
horns" as an Ohio River Packet. We car
commend the Lady Franklin as one of the
safest and best boats of the line, and Capt
Lucas as a careful and experienced comman
der.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL %, 1856.
The City Levee.

We are gratified to state that our article OF
yesterday upon the Levee Improvement
meets with the general appreciation OF all
citizens who are not paltry office seekers,
and who do not wish st. Paul to consist of
one store, one warehouse and thirty feet front
of Steamboat landing.
Still, est. Paul" ('Brass Buttons" y in
the Free Press keeps scribbling away and
now, having been driven from his original
position on the Levee Question, he admits
that the contemplated improvement at the
Landing is of primary Importance, but APP
pears to wish portion of the Levee Fund
appropriated to drain the back streets so that
his "rubbers" will not be soiled during this
damp weather. We want drainage, it is true,
but bogus "St. Paul" knows as well as we
door as we'll as any moderately informed
citizen knows-(he is not citizen himself
that the City Government of st. Paul has no
more authority to expend the contemplated
Leyee Fund, save for the specific purpose
named in the act of the Legislature authori-
zing the city to make the loan, than it has
to donate the whole or a portion of the same
to Captain Simpson, in order that he
may complete Herewith the Point Dou-
plas and st. Louis River Road. Knowing
this fact, and writing with the usual can't of
the smooth-tongued hypocrite, bogus "St.
Paul" in the Free Press Of Monday, attempts
further to befog the people on this question
of Levee Improvement, and to make them
believe the present City Government is about
to neglect the main interests of the city, (his
polished "rubbers'' because it will not run
the people in debt fifty or hundred thous-
and dollars to drain the back streets forth
with-when at the same time no legal power
whatever exists in that Government to con-
tract the debt!
We have heard Of a Typographical Engi-
neer of the United States Army who was
once upon time stationed by the War De-
partment at Erie, Pa. He was placed there
to superintend the works of improvement
for which the National Government had made
appropriations. He commenced, as was his
nature, to interfere with the affairs of the
people of that borough; and being for time
tolerated, he at length became so obnoxious
that the citizens felt themselves compelled
to rise en- masse and petition for his removal
from that station.
The people Of st. Paul are more magnani-
mons. Thew prefer to suffer and bear the
infection.
