Things to be Remembered!!

That the Administration has been running debt has
been power the of three millions of dollars month
That this party is in favor of having the american Coasng
Trade open terms of perfect equality to foreign ships
That it promised by eecng Mr. Buchanan for President that the
business the Country would be prosperous and the business
and Ruin have saked abroad the land since his nauguraon
That this party has repealed the Fishing Bounty Branch of
Congress.
That it made the Reciprocity Treaty. whereby Boston Market
gued with wood and lumber from the Provinces while that pre-
pared for market by lying rottng unmaketed
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 Jaw.
Remember that the bogus Democracy ask the people the Sixth
District humby beg their rights instead of demanding them
Remember that this question: of the people getting down
their knees the ruling powers and begging for their rights instead
Of demanding th settled by orehes and will not be
revived by Republicans
Remember that the argument Of opponents is that
send Congress who will ongngy beg that Maine interests
be spared instead of demanding nothing that clearly
right, and submitting to pohng that is wrong.

Hard Times-Democratic Pol
icy.

The present depressed condition of business
in the country, is in some degree, owing to
the policy of the Administration, or want
of confidence in it by the leading business
men of the country. The class OF men that
t,ok only to good dividends and prosperous
times, and care nothing in particular about
political opinions provided the per centage of
their profits figure high-the old fogies in
trade we mean, were delighted at the cleo
ton of Mr.. Buchanan to the Presidency
These men supposed, because the sage of
Whsatland is an old man, he is wise man;
because he is pledged to one term, he would
rule the country in that way which would
rebound to his own credit and the prosperity
of the country. How mistaken have these
men been; how sadly disappointed have been
all that class of moderate men also, of all
parties, who expected to see more moderate
counsels prevail, and more honest Admin
istration of the affairs of the nation, than
the preceding administration Of Pierce ex-
hihited. Mr.. Buchanan has not only failed
to meet public expectation in these par'icu-
lars, but his Cabinet " failure, and his in
ternal policy series of blunders. The Cab
met OF Mr.. Pierce had a Marcy in it, 10
counsel prudence, while it had fiery Da-
Wis, and reckless and unprineipled Cush-
ing to lead Off Imbecllity and inanity did
not lie at their doors. Their misdeeds and
mad schemes, were refreshing, because of
their reckless daring. Not 50 with the pre-
sent Cabinet and its Chief. There does not
seem to be redeeming trait of character in
the crowd Of Cabinet ministers now quietly
snoozins at Washington. Buchanan took
up the Kansas matte, where Pierce left it,
and has been Aounderiug in that net ever
smcc. He aimed to prove himself bigger
friend Of Rufianism than Pierce, and it has
ended in showing how weak and purile are
al his efforts, and in showing to the country
how small and how mean politician some
times, by accident, may fill the Executive
chair of the nation.
Mr.. Bion Bradbury sympathises in Mr.
Buchanan's views on the slavery question
and on the free labor question. 1t is because
he does so, that the administration at Wash
incton desires his election. They know
that all his talk about the fishing bounties
~ talk. talk. No movement has been in
augurated looking to the business interests
If the country. Instead of that, we see thu

Congress by good democratic authority. :
This would be fatal blow at Maine inter
ests. The Reciprocity Treaty has alread.
operated to our disadvantage, and will con
tinue more and more. This is Democratic
measure, and we are now reaping the conse

selves this question, can | sustain q party

Until recently, the defence Of Slavery has

aInlosists flor they were mere apologists)
took halfway grounds.
They confined the defence Of Slavery to
,ncrc negro Slavery thereby giving up the
Slavery principle. admitting other forms Of
thoritv Of the Bible, and Of he history, prac-
tees, and experience of mankind. They al
NEST admitted the Bible TO 10 false, because
it ordained, authorized. and enforced white
Slavery, which they asserted was morally
wrong. Human experience, showing tho
universal success of slave society, and tho
universal failure of free society, was unavail-
able to them, because they were prccluded
from employing it by admitting Slavery in
the distract to be wrong. The defence Of
mere negro Slavery involved them in still
greater difficulty. The laws of all the South
ern States justified the holding white men in
Slavery, provided. through the mother, they
were descended. however remotely, from a
negro slave The bright mulattoes, accord
Ing 10 their theory. were wrongiully held in
Slavery.
sThe line of defence, however, is now
changed, and the Nortl, is completely corner
cd. and dumb as AN oyster. The South now

necessary 1t shows that all divine, and al
most all human, authority justifcs it. The
South iar her charges, that the little expert
mcnt of free society in Western Europe has

The MAINE NOMINATIONS. previo usly
expressed hopes are happily realized in tho
nomination Of Hon. Israel Washburn, Jr.,
in the Fifth Congressional District. This is
deserved testimonial to the eminent family
of Mr.. Washburn as Rep. esentative, and
il is graceful recognition OF Republican
sentiment throughout the whole north. We
know there are other good men in that dis
trict, men who would prove themselves wor-
thy of any political trust; but at the present
time Mr.. Washburn's experience and unsur-
passed skill as a practical legislator cannot
well be dispensed with at Washington. Tho
country, therefore. is under obligation to his
Republican constituents Is is seldom that
northern Representative is returned for
five Congressional terms.

I'd District, was the Representative in the
