The CENTRAL AMERICAN IaER0GLIo
OF rnE VAIoRoUs- British steam frigate Va
lorous arrived Lcre yesterday from England, by
way ofFayal bringing forty 1.-Two ofthe passengers
saved from the unfortunate St amer Austria
The Valorous comes for the purpose OF taking
Sir VIM. Gore Ouscly TO Central America, that
gentleman's mission to Washington having been
played out. What this mission was has never
been satisfactorily explained, but there is little
doubt that it had some connection with the pre-
veniion of the abrogation Of the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty. Recent events in Washington indicate
that the backing and filling Of Senior Jerez
in his communications with our govern
ment upon the Cass-Yrisarri treaty, have
some intimate relations with the voyage Of
MIR Ouscly to Nicaragua. There is suspicion
that England and France are playing fast and
loose with the Belly contract, aud that if our go
vcrnment can be humbugged into consenting to
some delay in it's action on Central American
questions, new treaty between England and
Nicaragua may be brought about which will Off
set Gen. Cass's letter to Gen. Lamar, and
cheCkmate the operations of all Ameri-
can interests on that isthmus. The treaty
published some days ago, purporting to have
been negotiated between Mr.. Ousely and the
government Of Nicaragua was fabrication, no
| such treaty having been made.
| In view Of the prccarious state of affairs on
| the Is,hrlus, it now becomes our government to
| act with energy. If Senior Jerez has been ter
| giversating in any way in his course, he should
| he at once dismissed. An attempt is now being
made. apparently in good faith, by an Ameri-
can company, to open the transit route across
| the Isthmus of Nicaragua, under contract with
the government Of that republic. River and
lake steamers have been sent to San Juan del
| Norte, ocean steamers have been purchased and
some of them despatched to the Pacific, and Goals
and supplies sent out 1t matters little whether
Joe White or Joe Black has done this. 1t has
been done under formal contract with the
authorities Of Nicaragua, and our government
should see that the rights of our citizens are
respected. 1t is high time that this system OF
| quibbling and cheating by these imbecilc
| Spanish American governments should be stop
| ped. Wehope that the elevated views expressed
| in General Cass's despatch to General Lamar
| will be at once acted upon, without any regard
TO what England and France may desire in the
premises.
Notwithstanding Senior Jcrcz's assertions to the
| contrary, We have reason to suspect that he has
full authority to exchange the Cass- Yrisarri
| treaty without the notifications introduced al
the request Of President Martinez, and in the
form In which IA was first ratified by the NicarA-
guam Assembly. The yalorous will probably
remain here week before Mr.. Ousely cmbarks
and perhaps while longer, If this matter in
Washington is not sooner settled, a. the British
Minister would hardly wish to 30 away while
the course of orr government remains undecided

The Machias Union.

We believe the managers of circus usu-
ally put the whip into the hands of that
parsonage of the company, who is especially
educated, and especially fitted by nature and
the tailor, TO act the part of the clown.
Our cotemporary at Machias, seems to be
in this unfortunate situation; and the way he
cracks his whip, proves his awkwardness,
and his unlitness by nature for the service
assigned him. His jokes and rcpartees are
stale and fiat, and his general appearance in
the character assumed, is anything but fat

We beg it therefore To forget its proficiency in
the use of the clash for Il short time, and

manly opponent, if you can raise yourself to
that point, tell us how you, an administra-
ton Office holder, can support Mr.. Bradbury
on the platform CT the Columbia Convention.
Does not the Union know that its party is
attempting cheat on the voters? Does it
not know that Mr.. Bradbury, instead of he
liaaing in the Columbia resolutions, is a free

Post morton examinations arc frequently
dangerous. Even to those who are compelled
to act as iurymen, in cas1s of sudden death
without !. known cause, the duty is disa-

as jury in this matter Of strangulation, are
tired of the duty. We beg the democrats

Syllogistically stated, the doctrine amounts
to this. The people in the territories ara

Mr.. Editor:

Mr.. Editor:
Dear Sir:-There being various erroneous
and exaggerated reports in circulation, ver-
bally and via telegra phi and newspapers, as to
the manner Messrs. j. l.. Lawrence of Kit
trey Point, and E. I. Harrington of Boston,
met with their accident here, and the nature
and probable result of their wounds, | will
now give you correct account of the disas-
ter, and of their condition up to the present
time.
On the 10th inst. instead of going to Co
lumbia to the Convention as tellegra phic-
ally reported ina Bangor paper, they went
to Deblols, township about twelve miles
from this pla e to see some property there,
when, on their return, and within few
rods of the Hill Hotel, here, some part of
the carriage gear gave way. The horses
thereby became frightened, kicked up and
ran. the pole then broke; control of the
horses was lost; the carriage upset, and
Messrs +. and l.. were violently thrown to
the ground Mr.. +. thereby ha ing his collar
bone fractured, and Col. Lawrence had his
right shoulder and hip bones disloca ted
and both were otherwise severely bruised
and MANNED. Surgeons and physicians were
on hand as seon as they could be obtained
and the fracture and dislocated limbs were
skilfuily set, and their wounds otherwise
we'll bandased and dressed.
Mr.. F. has 50 far recovered, that yesterday
he took steamer passage from Millbridge for
Boston and home, where he probably arrived
safely to-day.
Col. l.. is, as he probably will be, confined
to his bed for some G or 8 weeks or so more:
though he is quite rapidly gaining strength
SO much 50 that the box which was used
as splinter, supporter to his manned leg,
was removed yesterday; and he now has some
self-control Of this lame limb and the wound
ed arm. We now hope and expect to see
him and Mr.. l.. also, about again, and in
the enjoyment Of their wontei health,
strength, activity and usefulness much soen-
er than few days since we had reason to
suppose would be the case. Their escapo
from almo' or quite instant death is, indeed,
most marvellous and Proyidential.

those resolutions at Washington, would be
branded as hercsies ? Did not its party re-
peal the fishing bounty in the Senate? Did
not its party make the reciprocity treaty
which Injures Maine interests? Did not
Mr.. Fuller report bill to change the nava-
cation laws. which, if it passes, will injure
Maine interests? These are questions which
the voters have an interest in having an
swered, and we beg the Union to do what it
can honestly to answer them, and at once
too. 1t is of but little consequence whether
the Union can wield the clash" or not. 1t
is of a great deal OF consequence to the voters
of this district to understand Mr.. Bradbury s
position, and relations to the Administra-
ton. 1t is important for correct under
standing of the matter to know if the ad-
ministration men and the administration
presses are to support him on an anti-admin-
istration platform, because ifso, somebody
pW be cheated in the end, and that will make
it plain who it will be.
We say again that the voters in this dis
trict were cheated by I. J. d. Fuller; and in
our opinion, and in the opinion of the Re-
publicans of the District, Mr.. Fuller, Mr..
Bradbury, and the Union are attempting
another such game. Put that in your
pipe and smoke it Mr.. Union

The PrOlbibitOry Law.

We have been glad to find, that in the Res
olutions adopted at the recent Conventions Of
the Republican Party in this State. no alu.
sion has been made to the Temperance Pro
hibitory law, which went into operation on
the 18th. ms. 1t was the design ofthe Leg
stature, that passed this law, to keepit as
much as possible out of the political arena
For this reason it was submitted to the Peo-
were to b, chosen, or party issues were to be
agitated =: one question only was to be set
tiled at this election, and that was. whether
the License or Prohibiiory Law should regu-
late or control the traffic of intoxicating IL
quors. The people have decided by a COM
paritively immense majority in favor of the
latter. The whole vote, to be sure, was not
SO large as was expected, or, as should have
been thrown. Many reasons might be given
for this seeming want of interest or action,
but there is no doubt, that a full vote would
have produced similar result. The rclig-
Gus revivals by absorbing public attention,
and by drawing those, who were engaged in
them to religious meetings, most probably
kept many away from the polls +: but the eff
feet of these rcyiyals will greatly increase
and strengthen the friends of Temperance and
the supporters of the Prohbitory Law. Such
has already been the effect.
There is one consideration growing out OF
this election, which should not escape the
notice of the inhabitants of these towns where
the question involved in it, was seriously
contested, and Il strong vote was cast for the
License Law. 1t is, that the reputation of
these towns will suffer by this unpropitious
expression The lovers of good order, OF good
habits and of good principles, who may be
anxious to seek Il peaceable and promising
residence will be apt to avoid a location,
where a considerable portion of the peoplc
is thus disposed to favor the indiscrminatC
sale and use of Intoxicating liquors. There
is no man, opposed to both, who would desire
to live where both are freely allowed in pre-
ference to those places where they are under
a salutary and safe legal restraint sanctioned
by public opinion. Not only the usual csti-
nation but the social intercourse, as well as
the business and value of permanent estates
of any place where the enemies Of temper
ance abound, would suffer and depreciate in
the minds Of those who love an respect an in
tellisent and we'll disposed population.
Much might be said on this subject
word to the wise is sufficient Let all who
would elevate the character and promote the
prosperity Of the communities, in which
they live, consider more thoroughly the i'm
portancc, and the application of the sugycs-
tions now made. WELL WlsHER.
