LIVERPOOL AND PORTLAND LINE OF STEAM
FRS. We are glad to learn that the arrange.
ments for line OF Steamers to run regular,
ly between Liverpool and Portland, have
been completed. Two Steamers, one the
Circassian, Of $500 tons, and the Khcr-
sonose. have been obtained for the service
and will run each way every four weeks,
touching at Halifax and st. Johns, New
foundland. The Circassion will leave Liy.
erpool March :, and returning, will leave
Portland April 2.
The line is distinct one from tho Cana
dian line, which will make four more trips to
Portland, one in each of the months of Jan.
uary, February, March and April.
The advantages which these Steamers will
afford for direct communication with the
old countries, we trust, will induce the mer'
chants Of Portland to increase the amount
of direct importations to that city. The
people Of our State have direct interest in
the growth Of Portland, and will DO rejoiced
in the success of every enterprise which its
citizens may undertake to increase its prop
erty.

The great Negro Plot.

Shvedom has been all agog for some
weeks past on account Of a ancied slave in
surrecuon, which, according to the accounts,
was expected TO come of abou, Christmas.
Negroes have been arrested in oil directions,
a good many hung, Others whipped, $50
lashes, until they died while the delight
full process was going on, and all on suspi-
cion. After about three or four weeks Of
pleasant commotion, and pastime in hang
ing, shooting, ironing and logging negroes,
the general conclusion which all Of the
shareholders have arrived at is there was no
diabolical plot after oil, but that the ne
groes had been allowed to attend during the
canvass, the political gatherings of the Bu-
chanan and Fillmore kind, none Others were
allowed down south, and having learned
from their masters tina, the Fremonters were
abolitionists, and desired the freedom of the
Slaves, and that il they were successful
would free them, they imbibed the idea that
the time for their freedom was near at hand,
and talked little too gladly about it and
about liberty. Out Of this tho great plot
grew. The most searching investigation
has elected nothing which shows that there
was any concert of action among the slaves
or attempt to gain their freedom. The PAN
ic among the Shareholders, so the Richmond
Enquirer says, should be turned to the ac-
count of restoring to pristine vigor "the
dilapidated military system ofyirginia," so
that i. may be in readiness against ga sud-
den emergency" This Southern country
must be delightful one to live in, and the
institution glorious one to extend.

The outrages Confessed.

While the presidential canvass was going
on, the Buchanan orators and their presses
with almost unbroken unanimity declared
that the accounts Of the outrages in Kansa,
were in great degree, false and exaggerated
by the Republicans, to subservc political pur
poses. Ii was said that most of the state
ments, which were made in the corrcspon
dencc Of the y. Y. Tribune, were impudcn
forgeries = and that the country was com
pantiyely quiet. The republican presses
were stigmatized and denounced with un'
sparing denunciation for circulating such
statements--and no doubt many ignorant
but well meaning people were made to be
leve that the statements were not worthy
Of crcdence. These, and all Others who may
have thought these wrongs were exaggerated
have but to turn to the pages Of the CORES
pondcnce between Gov. Geary and the Gov
eminent, and they will find them fully au
thenticated.
The Governor, who will not be suspected
Of the least partiality for the Republican
cause, thus speaks, in one Of his official let
tiers abiding to the troubles in Kansas.
"The whole country was evidently infes.
ted with armed bands Of marauders, who
set all law at defiance, and travelled from
place to place, assailins villages, sacking
and burning houses, destroying crops, NAL.
treating women and children, driving of
and stealing cattle and horses, and murder.
ing. harmless men in their own dwellings,
and on the public highways. Many of these
grievances needed immediate redress; but
unfortunately the law was dead letter. no
magistrate or judge being at hand to take
an affidavit or issue a process, and no mar
shall to be found. even had judges been pres
ent to prepare them to execute the same"
Republican speakers and presses were
grossly villifed, during the campaign, for
making these assertions, to which the Cover
nor has given uttennce. Whether or not
his party will brand him Us liar, we can
not tell. To be consistent. they must do so.
Governor G. also alludes to the attack on
Lawrence, in the following language:
".Accordingly, the entire available U. s.
force was put in motion, and reached Law
renee ut an early hour in the evening. Here
the worst apprehensions Of the citizens were
discovered 10 have been well founded
Twenty.scyen hundred men, under command
of Generals Atohison. Stringfellow. Richard.
son, &C.. were encampcd on tho Wakarusa
about four miles from Lawrence, eager and
determined to exterminate that place and its
inhabitants. An advanced party of 800 ner
had already taken POSSESSION OF Franklin
on. mile from the camp and three miles from
Lawrence, and skrmishing parties had be.
gun to engage in deadly conflict" .
So the attack on Lawrence was not myth
after all. The scoundrels, Atchison, String
fellow, and Co., ",ere eager and dsierminec
10 crterminaie that place and al lis mhabi
iants.
Thus does the Republican Party stand be
fore the country fully justified. Out Of 1T
own mouth is Democracy condemned.-
"Murder will OUT" whether committed OF
the plains Of Kansas or elsewhere; whether
by mon high in authority or otherwise.

Another Murder in the State Prison.

The people ofthis vicinity were thrown

tcrnoon, by the melancholy announcement
that the State Prison, in Charlestown,
Mass, hadagain been made the scene OF a
most atrocious and bloody tragedy, result
ing in tho death Of the Warden, Scion

burst upon the ears Of an astonished COM
munity, that the story, which. alas proved
but too true, was at first hardly credited
The following are the particulars Of the hor-
rid transaction -
About half.pas. three o'clock yesterday
afternoon, while Mr.. Tenney was passing
through tho upholstery department, o con-
yict named Charles L. Decatur, sprang up
ON his lack, with the ferocity Of tiger, and
thrust into his neck two-edgcd knife. The
blade of tho knife was about six inches long,
and was thrust with such force US to pass
completely through the neck Of the victim.

and drew pistol from his pocket; but ere
