THINGS TO BE
REMEMBERED!!

Remember that Hon. Stephen
c. Foster was the only man in
the House of Representatives,
that made speech against the
repeal of the fishing bounty law.
Remember that the bogus De-
mocracy ask the people of the
Sixth District to humbIy beg for
their rights, instead of demand
ing them.
Remember that this question,
Of the people getting down on
their knees to the ruling powe
and begging for their rights, in
stead of demanding them, was
settled by our forefathers and
will not be revived by Republi-
cans.
Remember that the argument
of our opponents is, that we
must send men to Congress who
will cringingly beg that Maine
interests may be spared, instead
Of "demanding nothing that il
not clearly right, and submitting
to nothing that is wrong
Remember that the so called
democratic party through its Sen
ators in the U. S. Senate, have
already repealed the fishing boun-
ty law.
Remember that not solitary
member Of that party, either in
the Senate or House, made a
speech Or lifted Il finger to save
the law.
Remember that Hon, Bion
Bradbury is the candidate of that
party for Congress in this Dis
trict, and that whatever profess
sion he may make before elec-
ton, he will never vote against
his party on this question.
Remember that Mr.. Bradbury
pridcs himself on being a econ
sistent douyhface.' and that he
has always acted with that branch
of the party that DEMANDS
the repeal of the bounty law.
Remember that Mr.. Bradbury
was an Unsuccessful candidate
for the Eastport CollectorshiP,
and an ardent supporter Of Mr..
Buchanan's Kansas policy while
he was asking for office.
Remember that all the Le-
compton Office holders in the Dis
trict support Mr.. bradbury for
Congress.

ONWARD Subtitle Ecaagelist
we'll says that while re, ,oicing over those
wlo have recently been converted, there
is great danger unless the standard of
plety in our churches be elevated-that
they will soon fall back into the same
cold state as before. This can only be
avoided by greater efforts on the part of
christians for increase oc personal hoh-
ness. They must seek higher attain
ments in the Divine life, and thus elevate
the standard of piety in their respective
churches. The present awakening will
fail in a great degree of the good which
it ought u accomplish, unless it elevates
the standard of piety in the church. 1t
should impart a mighty impulse to the
cause Of the evangeization of the world,
leading all to contribute with increas d
liberality, and many to consecr.ta them
selves to the preaching Of the gaspl to
the heathen. Bat we shall not witness
this, unless the present work Of grace in
bues the minis of christians with Il more
solemn sense OF their own obligations,
and causes them to feel as they never felt
before, that they are not their own, and
that all they have and are, is 10 be EN-.
ployel for the honor and glory of him
whose they are, and whom they serve.

on the safest principle, and there is not the

either present or prospective, TO pay all its

regarded as wise and provident step on the

why SO sound an institution as the "Mass-

WIsE's INDIANA LETTER.-The Cincinnati
Gazette has the following notice Of Governor
Wise's late letter to the Douglas Democrat:
OF Indiana:
Gov. Wise wrote a letter--very brief 70;
him-to the Anti Lecomptonites of Indiana
on the occasion of their meeting of the 22d
inst. He was not able to attend. Having
"invited the Nation of the United States Of
America to be present" at the unveiIing of
the Washington statue on that day, he must
necessarily be there to do the honors. He
declares that he sympathses with the objects
of the Indianapolis meeting, "with unspeaka-
Bile fervor." Not'having time to go over the
whole ground again, he encloses to them his
letters, "to mass meeting at Philadelphia,
and "to meeting at Tammany, New York"
stating that they embody views "from which
he hopes never to depart"
Judging by the past, we fear the Cover
nor's "hopes" will prove il!usory. Usually
changing his "yiews" about once month, we
are satisfied he is not sufficiently fortified by
a mere "hope."

KEEP Some OBJECT IN VIEw.-Evcry man,
rich or poor, ought to have some absorbing
purpose, some active engagement, to which
his main energies are devoted. Not enjoy
ment but duty, daily, must be the aim OF each
life. No man has right to live upon this
fair earth, to breathe its air, to consume its
food, to enjoy its beauties, producing moth
ing in return. He has no right to enjoy the
blessings of civilization, of society, and Of
civil liberty, without contributing earnest and
self-denying labor of head and hand TO the
welfare of mankind. Certainly no man can
be truly religious who makes qualification, ms
distinct from self-denying exertion, the great
object of life, and the ider puts pleasure ex-
actly in the place of duty.

The MogMoNs AND THEIR PoLIcY.-A cor.
respondent Of the New York Times, writing
from Sacr amento, gives detailed review Of
the Mormon discomfort and its origin down
to the present time. He was for many years
q resident of Salt Lake City, and only left it
when the Gentle population were driven out.
He believes that unwise and illjudged ap
pointments by the Federal Government first
excited Brigham Young and his followers to
rebel: and that to the excesses committed by
Col. Steptoe's command, when quartered in
Salt Lake City during the winter Of 1854 and
1855, is to be attributed the present hostile
attitude of the Mormons and their determi-
nation to allow no more troops to dwell
among them 1t is his opinion that the Nor
mons, if driven to it, will oppose by force of
arms. the further advance of the United
States troops, but in the summer they will
migrate either to Sonora, or Northward to
ward the British possessions. The latest ad-
vices from Utah, exhibit two important facts.
Col. Johnston, who commands the United
States troops, has avowed his determination
to take no step back ward, but 90 carry the
war directly into Salt Lake City, should the
Mormons manifest disposition to resist and
with arms 10 their hands. And in the second
place, Brigham Young has intimated will.
ipcness to permit Governor Cummings and
civil officers who aceo .npany him, to pass
quietly into tae city, provided the United
States troops shall remain at distance. But
this attempt at compromise is not likely to
be acceded to- and it, in conformity with the
opinion expressed by the above writer, the
Mormons will oppose by force of arms the
further advance of the United States troops.
a conflict would seem to be inevitable. The
relative forces may be estimated at about
200 on one side, against at least $4,000 Nor
mons But the former are regular troops,
thorough ly drilled and disciplined, while the
latter, however full of fanaticism, enthusiasm
and fight would, in ali probability, suffer
very severely, and after one or two skirmishes,
either Weld or retreat.

.R- The ruling passion strong in death
was never more manifest than in the case of
Lady Coventry, who, when death was steal
ing her charms, refused to let even her nurses
see her once transcendently beautiful face
Walpole in his letters thus speaks of her:
"Poor Lady Coventry! It is hard upon a
standard beauty when she is in deep con-
sumption. Size lay constantly on conch,
with pocket glass in her hand, and when
that told how great the change was, she took
to her bed. The last fortnight she had no
light in her room but the lamp of tea-kettle;
and, Mt last, took the things in through the
curtains of her bed, without suffering them to
be undrawn."

ABLE TO OwE THS GovERSMESr.-A
Washington letter writer narrates the follow
ing amusing display of Congressional genius:
Notwithstanding the "digniiy" which sur
rounds the supreme legislative body Of the
land, some ludlcrous scenes occur within
the Hall. No: long ago, very enthusiastic
and eloquent gentleman from Arkansas got
up to address the House on the fillibusteRng
question, and as the discussion wa. roaming
extremely wide, he soon found himself talk
ing about public lands in his own, State.--
On this theme he waxed warm, and in the
midst of burst of enthusiasm, and fervent
appeal in favor of a donation of land to Ar
kansas, a wicked member asked him if that
State had not once borrowed money from
the General Government?
ayes, sir" replied the excited member.
"my State did get money from the General
Government. She not only got it, sir, but
she kept itj and let me tell you. Mr.. Chair
man, that our people down in Arkansas arc
an honorable people, and although they nev-
Ier intend to pay that money, yet they will
not repudiate, but will always acknowledge
the corn" and confess that they do owe
"Uncle SAM" and are able to owe him. OF
course this acknowledgment brought down
the House.
