New Advertisements.

Our advertising customers in this vicinity
have availed themselves most literally Of our
columns this week. First and foremost
comes our old patrons Messrs FISHER 4 6EIc.
MAN, who invite the good public to their
new and elegant assortment Of DIR GooDs,
embracing staple as well as the most rare
and costly articles, at the old place in the
Calcf Block, Saco.
In the MILLINERY LINE, the advertisement
Of Mr.. Z. Q. FRosr, points the way to his
store in the Washington Block, to as good
q stock from which to make selections as
can be found in Biddeford or Saco.
Mr.. SAN'L 7. SHANNON advertises lots Of
excellent furniture, such Us is always to be
found in his spacious furniture rooms.
And for novelty, we have what We have
never had before, an advertisement Of a
Paint, Oil and Paper Hanging Store, Mr..
n. Smiths, to which we invite the public
attention. People must be hard to suit in
deed if they fail in being satisfied with such
goods and such bargains as they may obtain
of either and all Of tbcse advertisers at their
respective places of business.
P.S. Our old friends B. X. Ross & Co.,
have come out with fresh stock of Boots
and Shoes, fall fashions, and Of course they
have made new arrangement of their po-
ctical announcement Of the fact to suit the
case. We como near forgetting this, but
those who have bought at their establish
ment once will not forget to call again.

A Sly HIT at Somebody.

Our neighbor of the Democrat in some re-
marks upon the conduct of those whoswould
infringe the sacred right of suffrage, either
Willingly or unwittingly, deals q back hand
cd blow under the ribs of his political
friends, the Agents "of extensive man.
ufactories, }" situated not thousand miles
from his Office. Ho copies the following ex-
tract from speech once made by Mr.. Blu
chanan:
"Tho right of suffrage is the most sacred
political right which the citizens Of free
Government can enjoy. Like the right Of
conscience, il ought ever to be regarded as q
question between the individual man and
his Maker, with which no human power
ought to interfere, unless by convincing the
reason. THIS is the very foundation upon
which our Republican institutions rest. All
men arc regarded as equal in the sight of
the law and they ought oil, therefore, to
DO equally free when they approach the bal
lot box. / ask, has this principle been re-
spccted in regard to tho laboring man in our
extensive manufactures? Have they never
been told that unless they voted according
to the dictation of their employers, they
should be Immediately discharged? Have
they never even been accompanied to the
polls by their employer or his agent, to see
that the tyrannical mandate should be car
ried into execution? The man who would
act in such manner, and thus abuse the
little brief authority which his station has
given him over his fellow men, isIat heart a
despot and tyrant."
And this is his COMMENT
The unmolcsted right Of suffrage, under
standingly exercised, is the only sure basis
of free government. And free government
is invaluable. because II leaves man Us much
rs possible in his natural state-leaves him
as much as possible to himself-to his self.

THIS VIC take it, is q sly hit to the Agents
of "cxtensivo corporations" the political
friends of the Democrat. Weknow Of none
Others in this region to whom it can be
directed, and applied to thcm we consider it
the fairest hit the Democrat has made this
summer.

Willard Fillmore q Catholic.

The Boston Journal hasrecently published
an article asserting that Willard Fillmore
while dancing attendance on his Holiness

nished some evidence to sustain the assertion
Its last notice Of the statement Is as follows
FILIxoRs A CATHOLIC The evidence that
Fillmore Is q Catholic Is accumulating. The
New Bedford STANDARD says;
"In his speech at fremont the other day,
Hon. Josiah Quincy, Jr., Of Boston asserted,
that of his own knowledge, Mr.. Fillmore,

in the Catholic Church, and very frequently
received the bcncdiction Of the Pope"

or false the story Is good one, and thore

Senator Fish's Reasons for Supporting
Fremont.

lion. Hamilton Fish, ono OF the United
States Senator's from New York. has pub.
lished long and able letter giving his rea.
sous for rcpudiating the Fillmore and sup
porting tho Republican ticket. The letter
Is too long for our columns entire. It clio.
ses as follows. Speaking Of the Republican
ticket, he says:
ain that ticket VIC find no assault upon
single Wing principle, no danger Of an un.
safe and belligcrent foreign policy, no ex-
trcmc or violent propositions in regard to
slavery where It now exists but only that
resistance to its advance and spread over soil

stances, my voice must DO there. can,
without difficulty, perceive my way clear TO
that point, and though still Wing, shall
cast my vote for Fremont and Dayton, c.
teeming such course the best and suest
remedy for present evils, and trusting that
the time Is not far distant when political
organizations will again assume broader
and more catholic grounds.
We arc told that IN case of the election Of
Col. Fremont, the South will not, and
ought not, to submit that the Union will

disloyal suggestion, deserving reprobation (;

earnestly, cyinces o want of proper appre-
cation Of the priceless value, and OF the
strength OF the Union.
Doubtless there are men, both nj the
North and at tho South, who contemplate,
and..somc even who desire DISSOLUTION Of
the Union. Our jails and lunatic asylunns
arc Of sufficient capacity to accommodate
them. Fortunately they are rs important

this week:
Editor Of Maine Democrat.
DEAR SlG.-I have to DO; of You the ia
yor to publish this note, which address to
you Cor the purpose Of saying, that the arti-
cles which appear in the last weeks issue Of
sheet called the "Union and Eastern Jour
nal" relating to me, arc in every essential
reNl poet utterly false and deiamatory, and
that their author is libeller and cilumnia-
tor.
The facts, in brief. out OF which this ma
lignaut traducer has manufactured his tissue
OF abuse, are simply these. \ boy of some
l6 or IL years Of age went into the attic of
one OF the Laconii Mills, where he had no
right to ~, and deliberately and mischie-
yously seized the bell rope and rang FIRE
alarm, and thereby created disturbance on
the premises of the company, where some
500 Iersons are employed. For this wanton
act of mischief, |, az agent of the Company,
summarily elected him from the promises.
The boy was in no way injured, rs will be
in proof on proper OCCASION. Upon this
act Of Official duty, which should rcpcat if
like occasion required, the malignant
spiri, Of personal enemy has seized with
the purpose to do me harm-a vain purpose
is this, or in ans other community where
the traduccr Is known.
Yours truly, AUGUSTrNE HANEs.
Biddciord. September p, 1856.
Mr.. llaincs having in the above, in con-
f1rmity with Southern fashions, posted us
as "a libcller and cllumniator" in the pa
pers, will next we suppose attempt to twcak
our nose, or apply, in the Brooks fashion,
hickory or gutta percha To our head or
shoulders. This is the part of the pro-
gramme yet to come OIL, if Mr.. Haincs con-
tinues to eOmpOrt misunderstanding to South
ern fashions. Now We have heard of cases
in the Southern States where bulli,s who at
tempted operations Of this kind, did not
make as much by them as they expectcd.-
We are suitably impressed with Mr.. H.
greatness, but we have made up our minds
not to Be frightened by any exhibition Of
bullyiSm he may make. We shall neither
keep House, leave town to give time for his
ire to cool, or depart from our usual course
in attending to our business. In fact we
shall do precisely as we have done hereto
fore, and il violence is offered our person
we shall protect ourselves from its effects by
such weapons as nature and due regard to
q wise caution dictates, aud in the same
manner as VIC should against common
street hally or raaian.
Unfortunately for Mr.. iIaines in this
matter the evidence in the case published
by us last week aitly contadicts, all and
ingular, the assertions he makes.and as there
