used the following language on occasion Of
the apoiheosis of bully Brooks by Congress:
''Brutus stabbed Caesar in the Capitol.

or justice OF the deed @, the world has
ever since approved and applauded the act.

here are forgotten, and when these proud

shutting the name of Timothy Shaw Jr-
for Register Of Deeds, instead Of the name
of Samuel c. Adams, and perhaps other
changes We caution our friends every
where against these mixed tickets. Sew
cral years since a fine hair line, scarcely
perceivable was drawn through the names
Of some Of the nominees on the ticket, by
reason Of which Frances Bacon, who was
candidate for Register Of Deeds lost sew

South Berwick. Sept. 0, 1857.


USIoy d JOURNAL The Republicans
of South Berwick, have just nominated
Leonard CoIcord as candidate for Rep
resenta,ive from that district composed OF
that town and Eliot. He is good and
true man. The Democrats have nomina-
ted Bcnja. +. Parks, late County Trcasu-
rcr, whom the party did not dare TO nom.
mate as their candidate this year, for that
office. BY the way, what about his ac-
counts rs Treasurer II all stories be
true is !, possible that the voters Of tina,
District will trust him, having been weigh
cd and found wanting. Why do not the
Co. Commissioners let the people have
the facts in the case. Give us what light
you have upon the subject, if you have
any.
The above comes to us from rcspon-
sible source, with a request that We should
insert il IN our paper. We have not time
were VIC in possession Of the facts to
which the writer alludcs, to comply with
his wishes. We can only state that the
Co. Commissioners, or County Treasurer,
early in the year, found some queer in
accuracics in Treasurer Parks accounts
after their settlement, which LEFT quite a
large sum Of the County's money in his
possession. When the discrepancy was
discovered he was notified, and the mat
ter either fully or partially arranged.

Temperance in Biddeford and Saco.

FRIEND CowAS Amidst all the discour-
agements which have been INDUCED in BY
the friends Of Temperance, in view Of tn
alarming increase of intemperance, and its
attendant vices, there is disposition mani
tested IN Blddeford and Sico, 70 enter again
upon the work VI arousing the moral sensi-
billties Of the people to that degree that u
prohibitory law will be demanded and en-
forced. The Judgment, the conscience, the
hearts of the people of this country, or the
majority Of them are right, and il is only
necessary to awaken the people, to secure
right, moral and legal action.
A large meeting was held in the open air
in Biddefjrd, on Sunday evening last, which
was addressed by DIR b. Colby Jr., former.
ly of this State: and another was held in
Saco, which was addressed in an allie and
impressive manner. by Rev. Mr. Sanderson,
and also by DR.. Colby. A good degree Of
interest appears to exist in this communi
ty, and sincerely hope something efectu-
al will be done to save the rising generation
from the terrible end 10 which 81 many are
tending. Ii is to be- hoped their meetings
will be kept up, and an increasing interest
manifested in them.
Ifit is to be the policy Of this state to
have a prohibitory law framed by the Leg.
stature, and then submitted to the people
Tor their sanction, there is no time to be
lost in preparing the votes to act on that
question-in getting up such an interest rs
To call out on the side of right, full We
