SAvAGEs IN MAINE Shocking C,uelty.-The peo-
Pile of Brownhcld. Maine, have recently bee shock
ed by one of the most inhuman acts that has been
committed among civilized people for many years
Between the hours of one and two o clock A, NJ,
Feb. 18th, man by the name Of John \. Wood
man, resident of that village, boarding at the ho-
tel kept by A. Robinson. was taken from his room
by band of rowdes blacked np in disguise and
dragged to the door, kicked on the head, taking off
a part of his scalp with the heels of their boots.
They then put him into pung. carrying him
three miles int the woods, and then pulling out
ali his hair cuGang him almost to death in a most
painful manner than painted him red. aud left
him to perish in the snow without anything of
any amount of clothing to protect him. After
space Of time he found that he could walk. and
went some distance to the house Of Elijah Teb
belts, where he well cared for until the arrival
OF his friends who will leave no stone unturned
to find out his cruel perpetrators.

THE Republican is still after Col. Flood with
what it calls, "a sharp stick but what. to us,
wears very much the appearance of Il hludgeon,
blunt at one end, and rough at the other, with
which, the gallant editor Of the Republican is owl
denty intent upon beating the life out of 1.-The
willy Colonel, that he may no longer "honeyfug.
gle Democrats with the Establishments of his soft
talk"
The Republican seems to give the Democracy
small credit for intelligence. in experimenting
that Col. Flood will succeed in making them be-
heve that there is very little il any difference be-
tween themselves and the Wings. We had sup.
posed that the lines were SO broadly marked that
the most stupid Democrat in the Tenth Legion
who still "hurrahs for Jackson" could perceive
them; and should blush to think that any Wing
could be thus imposed upon.
1t may be, that Col. Flood has incidentally re-
ferred to the fact that in our State policy there
ought to be points at issue between the parties,
and that there will be no United States Senator
to elect during the period thst he shall hold Office
if elected; but farther than this we have no idea
that he has claimed any points of identity between
the two parties
The Republican ia determined. however, that
Col Flood shall not be >elected-has given fair
warning that its whole artillery will be brought to
bear upon him; and. as it is hard to kick against
the pricks, we wouid advise the Colonel to cantu.
late to the Republican without further parley.
1t fas already proved him to be jesuit in pol
itics; an 'artfnl dodger," who, by careful con
eeaimeat Of his partisan prejudices," has lurea
Democrats ~ his support; has, in short, charged
him With conduct which We cannot reconcile with
the frank and manly bearing Of gentleman; and
as VIC Wings know each other only by the in
stincts OF gentlemen" we see use in longer keen
