The Machias Union attempts to excuse
and palliate its partzan attack of the motives
Of Messrs Bell, Crittenden, &C., &C., in vot-
Ing against Lccompton. We cannot see why
a statesman living in the midst of slavery.
and knowing by experience all Of its sad and
lcs5lating effects, while being opposed to its
immediate or prospective abrogation in the
Old slave states, may not honestly and sincere
y desire that the system may not be extend
ed any farther and especially, as in this ease
when the people are opposed to it. 1t docs
not follow because they vote against extend
ing slavery, that they are abolitionists by
any manner of means. John Quincy Al
ans, it will be reelected, had no doubt of
the power Of Congress to abolish slavery in
the District Of Columbia, yet he doubted the
policy Of doing 50 at the time Of making the
remark. No one now doubts bis honesty or
sincerity. The men that framed and passed
the Ordinance Of 81 would not have voted
at the time for the abolition of slavery in
their respective states; but they v isely deter
mined not to extend the bIighting curse any
further.
The remark Of the nion that those South
crn men who voted against Locompton. did
SO because they wanted to oppose the Demo-
Gratis simply, is absurd. There were reasons
as '.plcnty as blackborries," why all honest
men should vote against it, if there were n?
Democratic party and no slavery involved in
the measure Must every Congressman that
votes against the many rascally measures
urged upon Congress, be charged with doing
SO because they wish to oppose the Demo
cratic party?' Arc slavery and Democracy
synonymous? Were Lecompton and De-
mocracy one and the same thing? If so,
heaven save us from such Democracy.
Perhaps it is this new ..charge" which
makes the Governor look SO thin and fors.k-
cn.-Machias Uairn.
When the "charge" is fired off, VIC i'm
imagine it will be the BUCCANEERS that will
''look so thin and forsaken." We asked n
buchanan man few days since '.why the
buchanan editors were cndeayuring to prove
Gov. Morrill, incapable of inditing his own
public papers, His answer was, that Nor
Fill fur ished brains for the democratic par
ty at atimc when the party was in pie
thoric condition; and if it could be shown
that be possesses only ordinary ability, it
would prove that the buchanan party could
maintain Its present position with the small
amount of alant now to be found IN it
"NuiF cel, ;" VIC thought, and walked on.

never had rotten otato since he has
practiced it; and he believes also that
potatoes thus used are rendered better
by the action of lime. We advise the
farmers to try this plan, as it easily can
be done by them ALL"
