| MOLD, THE TRAITOR.
The above three volumes of the new scr;e,
of American Biographies, have already been
issued. They are written by Geo. Canning
Hill, and published by f. o. Libby & Co., a
new and onterprising publishing house in
Boston. 1t is expected that the series when
completed, will comprise some ten or twelve
volumes. Who are to be the subjects of the
succeeding volumes we cannot say; but
should the author be as fortunate in his 40.
lections for the future, as he has been for tho
past, we have no hesitation in saying that
this new biographical series will be most
valuable and attractive, and will be superior
to anything Of the kind ever issued from the
American press.
The design of the author as expressed il,
his preface to these volumes 10,
"ro furnish from the pagcs of the worlds
history few examples of true manhood, lof
ty purpose, and prrsevcring effort, such as
may be safely held up either for the admira-
on or emulation of the youth of the present
day
"To clear away in his treatment Of these
subjects whatever mistiness and mustiness
may have accumulated with time about them.
presenting to the mental vision fresh and liv-
ing pictures, that shall seem to be clothed
with naturalncss, and energy, and vitality
40 offer no less instruction to the minds,
than pleasure to the imaginations Of the
many for whom he has taken it in hand to
write
"And more especially, perhaps, to famil-
iarize the youth of our day with those strik-
ing and manly characters that have long ago,
made their work deep and lasting on the his
tory and fortunes Of the American CONT
nent.
Mr.. Hill has an established reputation as
an accomplished writer. and he has NEST ablr
and faithfully carried out the design above
expressed, in the works before us. The style
is yiyacious, with great clcarncss and SIM
plieity, and though adapted particularly to
the youth of our country, they are equal
" valuable to persons IF mature age Few
people have the time i'll this busy age to make
themselves acquainted with the deeds Of many
distinguished Americans, recorded as they
are only in volumlnous histories and inter
mixed with multiplicity of other subjects.
10 the great mass of readers, therefore, both
young and old, these volumes will be well
come addition to our biographical literature
The publishers are entitled to much cred
it for the very beautiful style in which they
are issued. They are handsomely illustrated
by Billings, aud for mechanical beauty as
well as literary interest we most cordially
recommend them to the public.

What arrant hypocrisy these Buchanan

her people in fair election, and the Bogus

The vcr:icity Oft!sc Mac!lias Union.

We have heard of individuals of whom it
was positively asserted that the procliytv to
+ lying was Unborn that they would tell falls
hood when the truth would better have an
swcrcd their purpose. The Union. unaucs-
tionably belongs to this class The editor
has obtained an uaenviable notoriety for his
utter disregard of truth in matters political
and his corresp ndeut seems to possess the
same unfortunate objections to truth We
would not So plainly express our opinion if
the facts did not warrant and demand it
kcid the proof of our assertion. In the
leading article OF the Union, this week it is
stated THAT Senator'S Iiamlin and Fesscndcn
favored it, (the Reciprocity treaty.. The
statement IS talse. On the 9th Of Nav last,
Mr.. llamin delivered speech IN the Senat
/ in defence OF the fisheries, and in the course
of its delivery the following conversation
occurred.
| Mr. llamlin-Thc whole effect Of the re
ciprocity treaty has been injurious to my
State. do not speak OF particular localities.
for know my colleague would tell me that
where he resides they have been benefited
by it; but, as n whole, such is the result, as
shown by the figures before me. | alludr 10
1t as u part of the same system.
Mr. Clay-Will the Senator permit me to
ask him question?
Mr.. llamln-Ycs, sir.
Mr.. Clay-Was he not in favor Of that
treaty?
Mr. lIamlin-No, sir.
Mr.. Clay-l do not know whether it
would be a legitimate question, bat would
ask whether the New England men did not
support it?
Mr.. Hamlin-Somc did and some did not.
1t does not matter, in my mind, how that
was. The effect would not be changed what
ever might be my own individual opinion.
MIR. Clay-But You ought not to complain
OF the Government doing anything at your
instance.
Mr.. Ilamlin-It was not done at my in
stance.
Mr.. Fcssendcn-I 1t was not at our in
stance.

instance, it stated what is false What do

As far as heard from there is a majority
of 5000 against the Lecompton constitution,
and the English swindle in Kansas. This
shows how much Buchanan cared about pop
ular sovereignty in Kansas, in trying to force
that piece ofhumbuggery on the people.

ton. Its Record on the
BOUNTY Question.

ton. Its Record on the
Bounty Question.
The Union says tell March 4th 1850 there
will be Democratic President and Cabinet.
The inference is, that after that time the
Union thinks the Republicans will take pos
session. We think this is the safest conclu-
sion we have seen in the Union for some
time.
1t also thinks the Democrats will have the
ext House.
Unlike the Union, we think all the appear
anccs indicate that the House elected this fall
will be Republican. If 80, the fishing boun-
ty law is safe. The voters in this district
intend to do their part towards having the
next Congress Republican, by sending back
Mr.. Foster. Mlrk that The Bangor
Union and the Machias Union last winter
favored the repeal of the fishing bounty.
Have they changed? Why is it that these
papers favored the repeal while the bill was
pending before the Senate, and when their
voices should have been raised against it
Why were they and Mr.. Bradbury silent when
if they ever could do any good, then was the
time? Mr.. Foster and Mr. Hamlin were Ia
boring at that time and making speeches
against it. We have found these men true,
and will not exchange them for others who
were either silent or against Maine interests
like Mr.. Bradbury, &c.
