BoLT IN THE MAINE DEMocRAcY.-The last
Kennebec Journal, states that an open revolt
took place in the Democratic county conven-
ton, of Franklin. Resolves were introduced
condemnlng the present free liquor law,
passed by the Democrats, and the bred Scott
decision. The former was passed, after a
long and bitter contest, but the anti bred
Scott failed, by small majority. But, ga
strong and determined minority stood by the
resolve to the last, and, when it was voted
down, a portion of the delegates left in dis
gust" This proves, that, greatly as the De-
mocracy of Maine has been reduced of late
years, there are still many who want but
clear exhibition of the general debasement of
the party to make their escape also. They
are not wholly Office holders and Office seek
ers, but in the Democratic party there are
true hearted men, detained there by the force
of old associations, and feeble hope that
their party leaders will amend their course.
Thus they went for Mr.. Buchanan, under the
sincere impression that he would in some way
repress the wrongs of Kanzas and bring it in
as free State. What must such men think

ration, that slavery has always existed, and
still exists, in that Territory, by the very OPP

GREAT IMPRovEMENT.-We have recently
had an opportunity to examine a new "Reverse
Action Hydrant Filter" which has been patented
by our townsman, William W. Ayres, and which,
it appears to US, is decidedly superior TO any
former continuance Tor the same purpose, that it
must inevitably supersede the use of all others.
1t is peculiarly adapted to the Western country,
where so many of the inhabitants under the
necessity of using their turbid river water and
wherv so many more of them would fndft to their
advantage to use it, if they had a cheap, ready,
convenient, and sure mode of purifying it, and
rendering it clear and wholesome. It is equally
desirable in all places where water is used for
culinary purposes which is liable to be turbid or
impure from whatever cause.
The principle of a reverse action, to remove
the impurities which accumulate in filters, is no
new one, but there SO many practical objec.
tons to all those which have heretofore been
made, when there is any considerable amount of
impurity in the water. that they have generally
been thrown aside. The object of Mr.. Ayres has
been to obviate these objections, and in this, it
appears to us, he has been emiDently successful.
In the first place, the action Of this filter is COM
pletely reversed by simply turning a button,
which is done in an instant of time, and without
the necessity of disconnecting any portion Of the
machine. In the next place, it presents from
four to six times as much iltering surface as any
other machine of the same size. From the ex-
tent of the flterirg surface several times the
quantity of water may be passed without its be-
coming foul, and from the facility of reversing the
action, the filter may, without any trouble, be
cleansed just often as is desirable and thus it
may be always kept clean and sweet, and always
perform its sery ice in the most perfect manner
We know not when we have seen any invention
which seemed to rs to accomplish an important
and desirable object more perfectly than this, or
which seemed more desirable, decided, and sue.
cessful result. Mr.. Ayres has spent considerable
time in the accomplishment of his object, and
we cannot but congratulate him on the prospect
of an ample remuneration, from the fact that
those who need such article, and once become
acquainted with his invention, cannot afford to be
without it.

SENATOR RUsK's DEATH.-A gentleman
just from Texas, has communicated to us
facts bearing on the recent melancholy death
of Senator Rusk, which throw more light on
that sad event than all else concerning it we
have previously learned. 1t seems he was
suffering at the time most grievously from a
carbuncle on the back of his neck, which for
sixty days baffied the skill of his physician,
and babe fair, unless arrested soon to termi-
nate in his death. He had been suffering In .
tensely from it the day he committed the fatal
act, and it was believed by those surrounding
him, that the agonies Of the disease, added to
his belief thatit would deprive him of life in
less than thirty days, had much to do in bring
ing about his resolution to make way with
himself. - Washington Star.

KANzAs.-From the Kanzas letters of the
New York Times we extract the following:
" While the great mass of the Free State
men of Kanzas ars congratulating themselves
on the result of their mass convention at
Grasshopper Falls. and the nomination of
Mr.. ParIott as candidate for delegate to Con-
gress, the National Democrats are beginning
to awaken to the dangers of their position and
the perils OF defeat. All over the Territory
they are laboring to organize meetings and
elicit demonstrations in favor of the Leeom-
ton platform, the Democratic nominee for
Congress, and the policy of Gov. Walker.
Rumors have been rife in Lecompton for
the last two days, of a serious collision hay
ing occurred on Saturday night between the
troops and the people of Lawrence. At one
time the report took the form of an assertion
that in the fray three soldiers and Thirteen
citizens had been killed. From all l can
gather, it appears that one of the soldiers per-
sisted in making free with somebody's wa
ter melon patch, and got shot for his pains.
1t was with difficulty, it is said, that his com
rades could be restrained by their officers from
terrible retaliation; but, happily, the affair
was quoted down without further bloodshed.
On Saturday young man named Edwards,
who at Tecumseh last week, in some dispute
growing out of cards. stabbed his own cousin
to the heart, was arrested at Lawrence and
brought to Lecompton, where be is now un.

CooL--Yesterdsy was very warm day, the
thsrmomster ranging to within FIVE or six degrees
Of the temperature of the hottest day of the past
Summer. Cooling drinks were grateful, and ice
creams we're found not bad to take. But denid-
eddy the coolest thing we found in the course of
the day was the following passage in Gov. Gard.
ner's speech at Faneui Hall, on the previous
evening;
-aGeutlemen, my acceptance Of your nomina-
Son will depend on one single pledge which ask
you now to give me. | wish you, delegates to
American conventions, to pledge to me, that If l
accept this high and distinguished honor, you
will nominate and elect TO the Legislature of Mas
sachusetts only those men who will publicly COM
nit themselves to vote and support the ticket
you have this day nominated, and only those men
who will publicly pledge themselves to economy,
retreachmeat, and reform. Loud cheers.l Gen.
tlemen, will you give me that pledge {"
Surely, human audacity never went farther than
that, and itseems as If it must have cost even
hislExcelleney an effort, to exact such pledge
Here is the very man, the reckless extravaganza
Of whose administration has emptied the public
treasury. whose ideas of Tetrenehment were shown
ina veto tor an appropriation of twenty-five hun
bred dollars for school for the education of idi-
OTIS, which was first established, we believe, under
the fostering care of the State, while he has
squ4ndered thousands upon thousands, upon his
partizans by the creation Of salaried commissions,
as reward for their political services in his be.
half; and whose ideas of reform have been mani
tested in the heavy accumulation of a burdensome
public debt, from which the only relief was an
Odioua direct tax upon the people, of nearly three
hundred thousand dollars, in three years, talking
about g economy, retTenehment, and REFORM"
The report says that when the Governor re-
quired the above pledge Of his partizans, that
many of them shouted "Yes;" but we think the
mass Of the people who read the papers and pay
their taxes. will hardly be deceived into voting
for this economical Governor, who, having ex-
hausted the treasury, now so coolly proposes to
spend no more money.

HE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-The first de-
termination of the directors of the Atlantic
telegraph company, was to make second at.
tempt to lay the cable in October, but having
a favorable offer for the cable, to be used on
the India line, they decided to make new
cable, of greater length, to be laid down next
season. So great is the confidence of its ulti-
mate success in England that the stock is held
nearly at par The electricians of the comma.
ny, Professors Morse, Whitehouse. and
Thompson, have made very brief and gen.
eral report to the directors. They avoid all
reference to the amount OF retardation of the
electric current caused by the submersion of
four bundled miles of the wire, and merelv
state that the pressure of the water at great
depths improved the insulation, while the low
temperature of. the water improved its cleo
trical condition. They consider the cable
perfectly adapted to its purpose, and are able
to suggest no improvement in its construction.
considerable dissatisfaction is expressed in
England that the second attempt to Law the
cable is deferred to another year. The Cd.
portunity to sell hardly justices this decision.
so long as the cable to lie made is to be pre.
clsely like the present one. II is quite likely.
however, that the directors have reasons for
postponement that are not made public. An
expedition has sailed from England to Law
down telegraphic cable of one hundred and
hfty miles between Sardinia and Algiers
