The first number ola new Bangor paper
Of the above title is received. 1t is published
by WIN. Thompson, the former publisher oil
the Dem 'crat, and Edited by c p. Roberts
Esq, late Of the Bangor Journal. 1t is a
neatly printed sheet, with new type and
rood paper, making beautiful appearance
1t is to be independent in politics, but no,
neutral. Its Editor has no .'Wcstern fever, -
or love for jersey sand, to influence its
course away from Maine interests, but with
the warm love ola native, he says, Sour own

soda just from the fount, delicious and re-
freshing when new, but becomes incipid,
tame and dull by age; while there are others,
that are more like what is said of wine, ssall

Fishing BOullties.

Will the Machias Union inform the fisher
men how many Democratic members OF Con-
gress made speeches, and laborcd against the
repaal Of the fishing bounties? We have
looked in vain to SOC if some Of these dear
lovers of the people had word to say in ia
vor Of retaining the bounty. We find them
either mum, or going for the repeal. The
administration will go with the South, in its
crusade against everything that looks like
Northern interests; and every Democratic
representative from the North, will either
have to BE- mum or else fall into line. To be
independent in this particular will involve
them in trouble and accommodation from
the party, a. it did Douglas. The only way
to save the bounty, is to send Republican
representatives to Congress, for they have
no fear of the present corrupt Administra-
ton.
Will the Union point out to us some speech
ofsome one of its party friends at the late
session Of Congress, against tbe repeal? W.
wait anxiously for the documents.

Exhibition Of Bunyan's Pilgrims

This Exhibition, which is everywhere
spoken of with much praise by the religious
and secular press, will he opened at Lord s
Hall (this Friday evening, )for Inspection
We feel that we can safely and Conscientious
ly recommend this to all, as magnificent
Panarama. From the first scene to the last,
the Paintings are represented as being in
such perfect harmony with the subject, that
one is compelled to dream with the dreamer
passing with him successfully through scenes
Of beauty, terror, strife, peace and enchant-
ment, until the dark River of Death is
crossed, and Pilgrim, Christian, Hopeful
and Christiana approach the Celestial CT
ty.
The landscapes are beautiful, the mount
aims seemingly reaching for miles back in the
dim distance, and rich mantle of blue mist
oyerhangs all.
In the Land of Beulah, all the scenes are
represented with the vividness of true color
ing and the inspiration of genius. The inte-
rior of the Palace Beautiful, the Daybreak,
Mercy's Dream, the approach to the gates Of
the Celestial City, are beautiful creations,
afording much qualification to the behold.

Mr.. Editor;-
This morning, Madam Rumor gave notice
that the Steamer Rockland would commence
her regular trips from Rockland to this place,
causing intense excitement At 4 O'Clock,
expectation gave place to certainty, by the
cry of "thc Steamboat the Steamboat "
sending a thrill of emotion through the town.
Soon general stampede was made for Long

One of the cardinal principles of the old

its lagrant violation by j. G. Dickerspn, the

Moore from Belfast to Camden, to hold the
only important office in town. We regard
it as an insult to the intelligence of our peo-
pie, an insult to their rights, and as part
OF system of traicins away offices by Col

and selfish Indifference to the interests of the

FEMALEPuYsIci,Ns. Public attention has
OF late years. been directed to the Obvious ad-
yantagcs arising from the entrance Of tcouDfl
into the profession of medicine, and every
iday increase the number among US of thos,.
who wish 10 devote themselves Ia this tle,art-
ment Of science. The tide which they hayr
50 long been obliged 10 stem, now sets in their
favor. We rejoice in the increasing popu-
larity Of this noble work, as token of the
worlds progress but while we do SO, we
should not forget the pioneers in the field
who have struggled in the past untiriprly
through the obsticles which prejudice has
thrown in their way. and whose heroic ex
ertions have effected the change in public OBJ
mon. Conspicuous among the number
stands M. WINsLow, who for more than
thirty years, as nurse and physician has fol-
lowed her profession with untlagsing appl-
cation and industry. During this time She
has compounded Soothing Syrup, for chill
drcn teething, which ought to inmortalize
her name 1t is the most perfect thing OF
the kind, in our opinion, ever compounded,

cine of the age it is Of more Importance to
the human family than any other discovery
made by the profession in the last hundred
years. Common observation cannot fail 10
satisfy all who will take the trouble to look
into the bills of mortality for any one year.
that a very large PERCENTAGE of children and
nually die during the process Of teething, and
a very much larger number Of those who sur
vi0e are greatly dcbilitated or diseased, so that
they grow up weak, both physically aud
mentally, and incapaeitated both for study
and labor, Now, we appeal with perfect con
iidence to thousands oil mothers who will read
this article, to corroborate our statement.
when We say that no such fatal consequences
As those we have alluded to, ever occur from
teething, when Mrs Winslow's Soothing
Syrup is used IN time That it is just the ar,
ticle needed, is the testimony which reaches
us daily from those who have tried it, and un-
til some member of the faculty can produce
an article which shall equal in excellence this

QUARRELs OF THE PENNSYLVANIA Demo-
cRATs.-Mr. Montgomery 81 District. 1t will
be remembered that Hon. VIM Montgomery
of Pennsylvania, who had been known as an
administration man before, contributed to
the defeat of the Leeompton Constitution by
offering and securing to it the vote of all
shades of the opposition, the Montgomery
Crlttenden amendment After that glorious
victory he remained firm in his opposition
to the Leconpton Constitution. For this
act, he had been pursued with the most
unrelenting vindictiyeness by the powers
that be, the Administration as We are in
formed, going SO far as to send speakers into
his district to defeat his reelection. The
following extract from a letter dated June
18th, at Uniontown, Fayettc county, Pa,
the heart Of Mr.. Ms. district, will show
how he stands:
