MAINE PoLIrIcs.-The following resou-
tons were passed unanimously by the Demo
cratic Convention of Aroostook county,
Maine, on the 18th August
Resolved, That we recognize the Cincin-
natl Democratic platform as the only legiti-
mate platform of the Democratic party, from
which no convention of the Democratic par
ty has right to take, or add w, n single
plank, except it be National Democratic
Convention.
Resolped, That as no Administration has
less deserved the hostility of the Opposition,
than has that of James Buchanan, so none
ha- ever been more devoted to the rig hts
and honor Of the country, or labored with
more faithfulness to promote its prosperity,
and more etfectually succeeded.
How RAIN CLOUD FoRMs.-Professor
John Wise, in describing his last balloon
voyage, says: 1--WE plainly saw that the south
east wind below, which drove us to the north
west at starting, had now supplied the at
mosphere with moisture enough to make a
growing rain cloud Slowly, Interestingly,
the vapor assumed a milky hua. Present
ly it assumed the appearance Of a vascular
cloud; then it bulged down in the middle,
and soon it had the appearance of great
udder, with the water oozing through it, but
more copiously at and around its protuber-
ant center. 1t was an interesting phenom-
enon, and it seemed as though nature was
unbosoming her mammal to give the earth
some sustenance. have noticed these I'D

E Some of Senator Douglas organs
express fears that his Gigantic Littlencss
will be assassinated, kicked, caned, or 9TH
erwisc injured in bodyi on his return 10
Washington. They do not anticipate that
the Republicans are going to be guilty Of
anything Of the kind, but that the attack
will come from the Administration side of
their own party. This is a pretty COM
mentary upon their assertions that the
divisions in their ranks have been healed,
that the party is once more unit, de-,
which are made in the same breath in
which they express their fears for Mr..
Douglas safety.
Mr.. Douglas stood by when the brutal
and cowardly assault was made upon
CHARLES SUMNER, and 10y refusing TO inter-
fere, made himself as guilty rs Brooks, and
we shall have no tears to shed over the in
tell;gence that he has been treated TO a
doso Of the same kind, but we want the
assaulting party to be political friend.

A Domestic Affair
The Philadelphia Gazette's letter says

WAsHINGroN, Dec "a.
The publications recently made by SEN
ators Slidell, and Jones of Iowa, tho latter
just reproduced here, prove concIusively a
determined purpose to drive Mr.. Douglas
to the wall, either by personal affair, OF
by fixing disgraceful brand upon his brow.
There can be no misiaking the intention of
these cards, if the design wns not generally
understood in all so iaI and political circles
here. But since the quarrel belongs exclu-
sively to the harmonious democratic house
hold, of which all these parties are profess
edly orthodox members, the Opposition
need not exercise itself unnecessarily rs TO
the issue. They should be permitted by
all means to settle it rs the champions of
the Nebraska bill contend it regulated sla-
very "in their own way" Mr.. Jones seems
TO have selected some Of the choice epilhets
which Mr.. Douglas hurled at Mr.. Summer
"A professed n-colnbatant-when he
stood in the democratic lead, with all the
at his back, just by way OF empha-
cising his nedIaled indigniiy. The Sena-
Tor from Illinois will bc here shortly, ahl
these fiery spirits might curb their wrath
until he can stand up and confront the
storm. 1t is not altogether geuerou, to as
sail him before his coming, though per-
laps some Justification may be pleaded for
this course, so far rs Mr.. Sldell is concern
ed in view Of the passage between them in
open Senate at the last session, when the
language and the manner of tho S nalor
from Louisiana, were quite rs positive as
his expressions ale now. 1t is difficult TO
conceive how these indignities can be borne
without notice, or reconciled but by dis
.vowal which would reflect upon their au-
hors, if possible to be made by either of
ho parties ooucerned--a concession entire
y beyond the reach Of probability,

A SEDUcER Snor.-We have been in
formed that young man in Huntsville, of
this county, was shot few days since under
the following circumstances: He had paid
his addresses TO a young lady, and promised
10 marry her, but afterwards refused-in
the meantime having seduced her. She
called upon him and demanded a marriage,
as per agreement, or eight hundred dollnrs,
and on refusing both. she drew pistol and
shot him in the left side, the bali gluncinr
from rib, doing but little damage. She
was about to shoot again, when bystand-
er seized and prevented her doing so. Her
plea was that she was ruined. and would
rather die than live so. On trial the girl was
acquitted.-Sehuyler Ciiissn.

North West Territory ExplOra-
tiOnS.

Mr.. Hind and his party, sent out from
Canada TO explore the Red River region of
the North, lave returned to Toronto. BY
the Globe we learn that they have thor
oughly explored the neigborhood of the As
sinniboinc, and traveased the south branch
OF tie Saskatchewan some hundreds of
miles. Canoes were used going one way,
and horses the other, so that better
knowledge was obtained of the county
than the fur-traders get, as they travel en-
tirely by water. The bank of the river
Mr.. Hind describes as a sandy plain, but
five miles back tho land is even richer than
on the Red River. The climate is much
milder and the vegetation most luxeriant.
From the accounts ofthe hunters, it would
appear, however, that the slope of land at
the eastern base of The Rocky Mountains
is the finest part of the territory. The
snow is said never to be deep there, snow
shoes being unknown to the Ind:aus, and
it is well timbered country. This is The
locality, also, in which coal beds exist.-
Mr.. Hind did not penetrate so far, but he
had undoubted proof of their existence
At Fort Edmonton, and other western
posts of the Hudson's Bay Company, they
use coal for their forges. No good coal
was found OH the Assinniboine. Timber
WIS found for building, fuel, DC, during
the first settlement of the country.
Mr.. Hind found that an affluent of the
Assinniboine approaches very near the Sas-
katchewan. Connecting the two streams
at this point would be very great saving
in the way of transportation. At the
highest point at which Mr.. Hind saw the
Saskatchewan, it was half mile broad
and seven feet deep. Lord Grosyenor did
not return with Lord CavenGish and Mr..
Hind. A few days before the party left
Red River lie took a fancy TO go on a Buff
falo hunt, and started off Oh horseback,
with half breed guide, on journey of
several hundred miles, although The tler-
was below zero. The British arc
just beginning TO find out what great coun-
try they have got in the wild North West.

Gov. CHAsE's Message has been receiv-
ed, but came too late for this weeks paper.
The Cleveland Leader says of it:
sit is devoted entirely to State matters,
which are treated in clear and states
manlike manner. Our excellent Common
School System, Benevolent Institutions,
Taxation, Financial condition, and Public
Works, are the leading topics of the Mes
sage, and the facts and figures stated, and
suggestions made, will command the atten-
lion of the General Assembly and the
People of Ohio. Repeal of The ten per
cent. interest law is again urged, and we
trust the recommendation will meet with
the favor Of the majority in both branches
of the General Assembly. While favor
ing some disposition of the Public Works,
Gov. Chase would have the sale only made
for adequate prices under such limitations
as will ensure, beyond any probable con-
iinsency, the ends of their Construction
Such a sale can probably be made when
water luns up hill.
The style of the Message, like the mind
of the author, Is perspicuous and massive,
and evidences familiarity with, and close
attention to, the varied interests of our
State. No previous Governor has devoted
so much time and personal labor TO official
duties and supervision of the affairs of
State as our present model Executive, who
has dignified the office, and won The cs
TEEN of the People Of the commonwealth,
as well as shed lustre on the name of Ohio
at home and abroad.
