what Is the Matter with Mainei

The Lumber State seems inclined to 20 back
on Mr.. Pierce. The Democrats Of the Fourth
Congressional district had convention the
other day, and adopted the following very queer
resolution:
Resolred, That the administration of Pres.
dent Pierce has been IN he main, eminentIv
democratic aud national; and that we cannot.
as Democrats, refuse TO It our sanction without
violating the wellsettled principles Of the party.
and compromising the best interests Of our
country.
One of the delegates selected TO Cincinnati
on this platform was General i. 7. Lally, who
was Major in General Pierces brigade, and
saw all that gallant hero's achievements on the
bloody fields Of Mexico. Returning to Maine
General Lally was an active member of the
Pillow, Gushing and Woodbury. clique that laid
the pipe for Mr.. Pierce in 1852, and was a
delegate in Baltimore. His election to the
Cincinnati Convention under the above resolu-
ton, which is curious specimen Of the art of
damning with faint praise, would seem to show
that Mr.. Pierce's fastest friends are dropping
him. What is the matter with Maine7-Neo

American declaration of independence, he was
anxious to gain admission to church where
one of their most distinguished orators was to
deliver q political address appropriate to the
occasion. The beadle who guarded the door
steadfastly refused him access until the corpora

remarking, after waiting some time, that other
persons were being admitted while he was ex.
cluded, the beadle naively replied, 'Oh but
these gentlemen have ladies with them and you
have none, but if you bring lady with you /
will let you in also" Laughterl. After
adducing further examples ofthe same national
trait, and likewise illustrating the carelessness
evinced on American railways and elsewhere
as to the safety Of the sterner sex, the honora-
BILE gentleman concluded by comparing the
occasional quarrels between England and the
United States to the internal disputes of pri-
vate family, which might, indeed, produce slight
temporary arrangements, but were sure to
end in increased friendliness and warm endear-
