ELECTION OF GOVERNOR OF MAINE.-The
Legislature to-day elected Judge Wells, old
Line Democrat, Governor of the State for
the current year. He had sS votes in the
House and FL in the Senate.
SECOND DIsPATcH.-Gov. Wells was sub
sequently inaugurated, and sent in his Mes
sage to the Legislature. In it he expresses
no opinion on the policy of the Nebraska bill
but acquiesces in it. He takes strong ground
against the Liquor Law, and recommends a
licence system. He also recommends the
establishment of a Court of Common Pleas,
condemns the Alien and Naturalization laws,
and the Personal Liberty Act. The educa-
tional system of the State is alluded to, and
some suggestions made as to further legisla-
ton on the subject. He opposes the sale of
timber lands unless money is needed, praises
the reform school, and advocates improve
ment in the militia system.

UP RIVER STEAMERs.--The up-river
Steamers are undergoing considerable re-
pairs. The Porter has been made four feet
wider, and seven feet added to her length;
making her much more commodious. The
owners intend putting in new machinery; so
that she cannot fail being one of the best
boats in the up-river trade.
The Naw-Beck is also to be enlarged.
25 feet is to be added to her length; and
side, in place of stern understanding her
more roomy. .lsq- JEs
The above boats are to run in connection
with the G. r. II. Co. Line below the Dam.

The DEMOCRATIC PARTY.-The democrat
ic party has taken its position calmly, and
will maintain it steadfastly. The only ma
tional party, it is the only party whose prin-
ciples are the same in the North and in the
South in the East and in the West, and it is
moreover, which has the ability and will
to preserve the Union with its constitution
and its compromises u~nbroken, and is for this
reason the only political party of the day in
whose fidelity the interests of the country are
involved. These facts the great American
people know. They feel that their interests
and the interests of the Union itself are at
stake, and they will never fail to appreciate
and to make known their appreciation Of the
devotion of the national democratic party to
the cause of the constitution and the Union.
Thus entrenched behind its immortal princi-
pies cheered on by the consciousness Of the
right and justice of its cause, it can take no
step backward. 1t can turn neither to the
right nor to the left; its course is straight for
ward and that %courseit will pursue fearlessly
and honestly, regardless Of vituperation and
SANDER of its enemies. Washington Union.

ADVICE TO HUsBANDs.-A Persian poet
gives the following advice on this important
point: "When thou art married, seek to
please thy wife, but listen uot to all she says.
From mans right side a rib was taken to
form the woman, and never was there seen
a rib quite straight. 1t breaks, but it bends
not. Since, then, it is plain that crooked as
is woman's temper, forgive her faults, and
blame her not, nor let her anger thee, nor
correction use, siuce it is in vain to attempt
to s~traighten what is crooked" Itsf.r. a.

OREeoN TERRIroRY.-Our Valley has
been thrown into a most fearful excitement
by the Indians. They are burning and muir
.dering on an extensive scale, already is Rough
River Valley nearly in ruins. Eighteen
companies of volunteers are in service, but
cannot bring the Indians to.any general en-
gagement.
As an indication Of the kind of women
we have on this coast, let me give you the
following heroic incident: The house Of Mr..
Harris was attacked in the afternoon. The
inmates were himself, wife and little girl
In one hour he had fallen in the conflict.
Before he expired he gave his wife some di-
r~ections as to how to load and fire. The
house was a log one, and at every assault the
Indians would make on the door she would
give them a deadly fire from a musket load
ed with buck shot, and also by firing a re-
%volver. They would then retreat, not know
ing the number whom they assailed. She
held them at bay until eight o'clock the next
morning, when she was relieved by the volun-
teers. She literally strewed the yard with
the dead and wounded.

RESIGNATION OF Gov. SHANNoN.-We
learn from the New York Tribune, Of the
9Th inst, that it is currently reported at the
Federal Capital that Gov. Shannon is about
to resign his Gubernatorial position in Kan
sas. He no doubt finds himself entirely in
adequate to the responsible station he occu-
pies, amid spirits SO turbulent as those that
compose the present political elements of that
Territory. His weakness and INDIGESTION have
rendered him unacceptable to the pro-slavery
propagandists, as he previously was to the
Free State settlers.

Nor ACcREDITED.-Mr. French has pre-
scented his credentials as Minister from the
Republic of Nicaragua. Mr.. Marcy very po-
litely informed him that the President does
not consider it necessary to open diplomatic
relations with a country of no settled form of
government, or with a government forced up
on the people contrary to their choice and will
in the matter; thus leaving the Hon. gentle
man the alternative of returning to enjoy his
diplomatic %laurels, amid the orange groves of
the sunny south, or remain a visitor at Wash
ington to take lessons of our model National
Legislature, as respects proper steps to be
taken in the organization of a similar one in
the far-famed Republic of Nicaragua.

THREATENED RUPTURE BETWEEN THE U.
S. AND GREAT BRITAIN.-Tbe Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald, un-
der date of 18th inst, says, l learn from an
authoritive source that our government will
not, under any contingency, permit Mr..
Champion to remain; and further, that they
have notified the English Government if they
do not recall him they will be compelled to
dismiss him at once. 1t is also remarked in
diplomatic circles that should our government
dismiss Mr.. Champion, England would re-
fuse all intercourse with the United States,
and give Mr.. Buchanan his passports. The
reports to the effect that Mr.. Champion has
been empowered by England to abandon her
pretensions to Central America, under certain
circumstances, is emphatically contradicted.
Our readers are aware that the difficulty be-
tween our government and Mr.. Champion has
arisen from some supposed connection, on his
part, with those engaged in enlisting soldiers
in the United States for the Crimea.

Lowell Hall, who is still the agent of the
Detroit and Milwaukee Railway, has return
ed from the East and ready to receive sub
scriptions to the stock of this company
He informs us that everything is favorable to
the completion of the Railroad to this point
by the first of September next, with the ex-
ception OF the apparent apathy on the sub
ject shown by the farmers in this and other
counties, who are the most directly interest
cd in the work. We have vet faith to be-
lieve that the farmers of this county
will manifest a proper appreciation of this
truly important work, by coming forward
and aiding it by liberal contributions to its
stock. 1t is a common remark with many
persons, that " the money to build Railroads
should come from those who have money to
invest, and therefore we will do nothinp..n-
Such a position for us to take would be wrono
and suicidal to our own interests. With the
vast multiplicity Of Railroad projects in the
world, it has become absolutely necessary for
those who want Railroads to build them
themselves. And if we. would seek foreign
aid to construct a Railroad through the
Grand River Valley, we must exhibit a prac-
teal understanding of its Importance by sub
scribing literally to its stock. The land
owners and farmers are most interested, let
them now come forward and put their shout
ders to the locomotive, and give it a push,
thus happily avoiding the imputation that
they are blindly indifferent to the casting OF
a few dimes now, for the purpose of reaping
a harvest of dollars bye and bye. A com
paratively small subscription in this coun-
ty will ensure the road to this place ear

Esy- The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore Clipper states that the Scar
gent-at-Arms of the House is the real obsta-
Gle in the way Of electing a Speaker. This
functionary has already paid to the members
of the House t~wenty-eight thousand dollars,
from his own resources. But for this, the
"Honorables' would have been put to much
inconvenience, as no money can be drawn
from the U. s. Treasury, for this purpose, ex-
cept by order of the Speaker" which eve
ry one knows has not yet beer elected.
