MAINE ELECTIoN.-We learn in ad
vance of the mails that Maine has gone
Overwhelmingly Republican, electing al
her Congressman, Governor and Legisla
ture by largely increased majority ovel
last year and the year before. Maine hat
one Buchanan Congressman; now she ha.
none. So goes New England.
1t was feared for awhile by Republi
cans and hoped by Democrats that the
public mind was slowly retrogradng TO-
wards Slavery, but it is all mistake
The politicians and demagogues of both
parties would like for the people to grow
less anti-Slavery, and would like for the
Republican party to say they woull con
sent to go for more Slave States and 60 fol
the Fugitive Slaus Law, and so 90 on
but there is heaven like mulishness
abroad, Glory to God! Here and there
we hear a rafting harem-scarem Republi-
can say that he fears Wisconsin will not
come up to the mark; such persons never
look into the public heart. Our faith in
Illinois for Lincoln is firm and even old
Pennsylvania too.

AN ExPLASArIoN.-Having waited a
reasonable time for the reply of "A Protes-
|taut," and the same having failed TO ar
rive, we admit to our columns the prornls-
ed rejoinder Of ~ Catholic which is un-
derstood to close the published discussion
Iof the Reverend and worthy gentlemen. -
So far as we know, the discussion has been
conducted fairly and without personal de
traction. We regret the length of the
closing article Of this week, as much gene
raj reading more valuable to most of
our readers, is thereby excluded. Theo-
logical discussions are generally unprotita
BILE in secular newspapers, and we endeav-
Tor to keep clear Of them, but in this case
we could not well avoid letting the cham
pons have their way. We aim at doing
exact Justice to all religions and creeds,
however differing from our own. Discus
sion is the only way by which truth can
be arrived at. This is indeed, a happy
day and country when and where the
Catholic and Protestant faiths may be
freely spread before an investigating pub
lic. No exclusively Catholic or exclusive
Ily Protestant country is SO liberal Nc
-,
age since the Christian era commenced
has been so tolerant. But one thing is
yet to accomplish over bigotry, supersti
ton and intolerancy; that one thing is, &c
make all men of all countries aud colors
FREE! May God so change the hearts Of
all men and protesting Christians as t.
Join their voices and votes for freedom, il
order that all may read Gods word, al
think and act freely aud call no man mas
ter but Jesus Christ!

MANS STATION THEN AND Now. T.
Mills, Esqr., in his lecture before the
Grant County Teachers association, on
Wednesday evening last, said, that in the
days of King David, man was "only lit
tie lower than the angels" but since the
laying of the Atlantic Telegraph, man is
vastly ahead of the angels, for no angel
ever attempted to exercise guardianship
over man two thousand miles distant from
his celestial kingdom! Mills furthermore
thinks that men will soon discover the
means of flying through aerial space more
rapidly than the angels travs.!

Dunlsith Advertisers Complaints-A Candi.
date for Sheriff.

That ardent, endless, ceaseless, unbound
ed editor of the Dunleith advertiser, who
measures all things exactly BY his elastic
measure and weighs all ponderables by his
foot or head, either of which may be a
pound or ten pounds too heavy or too
light, takes us to task about the accidents
the past, the causes of which he seems
TO lay toeour charge. Truly, we worked
for the political result which came about
hut we did so without consulting either
his interest or our own. We have never
yet advocated this party or that
principle with the view of making money.
The Aduertiser suggests the name of
ALEcK. NEAvILL for Sheriff of Grant Co.
Well, Mr.. NEAvILL is very good man,
worthy and deserving; we could support
INN with all our might. But, there are
several other gentlemen having the like
virtues and claims, who would also like to
be Sheriff. The Republican party is a
party of rule, law and order, and we as
sent to its usages and publish a paper
devoted to the welfare of that party
| One of the usages of the party is to hold
town and county Conventions to nominate
candidates for the offices, and then all
work for their election. 1t is also a rule
of the party to avoid any unfair means in
nominating candidates, and we have al
ways made it our rule to not NEEDLE be-
tween candidates for nomination by means
of our paper, nor even by our small inhu
ence. An editor of party paper has no
right to use his columns in favor of this
man or that one, previous to the conven-
lion. After the convention meets and Sc
lects candidates, it becomes his duty to
support them if he believes they are good
men; if he thinks they are not safe to
trust in office, he has a right to oppose
their electiou-a right that We shall ever
use. No convention shall ever bind us to
support bad man for office, knowing him
to be such. We shall always feel bound
TO support the candidates Of Republican
convention, if such candidates are pretty
good men. Now friend PAUL, are we not
right9 How would the Herald look, fiji
led every week previous to convention
with editorials in praise of this man OF that
man for office? Goodness save the coun-
try when editors become dictators, for their
papers would WELD no more influence
than the barking Of dogs. Il we have
built up successful newspaper, we have
done it all by prudence, independence and
industry-all which virtues and parts, our
good friend PAUL respects and practices,
vet without envy towards US.

Messrs. Turner and Walker, in which
the latter express themselves as per-
fectly willing for the committee

at will be seen from the oorrespon-
dence that the people have On oppor-
tunity to investigate the condition
of the Citizens Bank for themselves.
We trust that the committee appoin-
ted at the recent meeting in this
city will act promptly. They have
an important public duty to perform.
A great fraud has been 2erpetrated
in our midst, by which the honest,
lahoring. toiIing masses have been
swiudled cut Of their hard earnings.
Prompted by a desire to expose cor
ruption. and to hold up the evil doors,
a public meeting was held, and a com
mittee appointed to investigate the
fraud. The committee is composed
of men high in the confidence OF
the people = men elected on account
of their integrity and business capac.
| fly. They owe it to themselves and
to the community to come forward
aud discharge the important duty that
has been imposed upon them
Messrs. Walker and Turner have
frankly and cordially offered tbs
committee every facility for lnyestl'
cation, and, of course, they will al
sSuce enter on the discharge Of ther
