SUPERINTENDENT OF COMMON ScnooLs.-E.
p. WESTON, Esq, of Gorham, has been ap'
pointed Superintendent of Common Schools
to take the place of Hon. NJ. III. Dunnell
who declined disappointment. Mr.. Dun.
nell, who's, labors have b,en very effective,
and who has discharged the duties Of the OF:
fec with signal ability, will resume the prac,
licc Of his profession in Portland.
The appointment or Mr.. Weston will, we
arc quite sure, prove most acceptable, to tho
people. Mr.. W., MS the accomplished and
successful teacher of the Seminary at Cor.
ham, has obtained great credit in the cause
Of public instruction. He is fine scholar,
an elegant writer, good public speaker, and
he adds to these qualities an energy of char.
actcr which cannot fail OF making him a
popular and efficient public officer.

OCCASIONAL, the correspondent OF the Phila-
delpha Press, writing from Washington, says
The action of the Charleston Convention on the
ODD of April, before the Republicans assemble
at Chicago in June, concerns more than the
Democratic party. Whatever II may do
will shape and shadow the movements OF
other organizations. Within the next thirty
days events will have been 50 organized and
crysia'ized that we shall be able to form some
opinion of the final result. One thing is al
ready apparent-scveral of the Southern States
will seceie from that Convention, shoulu
Stephen A. Douglas be nominated, ar should a
proposition infayor of q slave code in the Ter
ritories be rejected. Hon. William l.. Yancey,
by far the most extreme Of the secession ora
cles, has lately achieved n double triumph In
Alabama first, by carrying his delegates To
the Charleston Convention, pledged to q slave
code, and to their withdrawal in the event of
the Convention refusing to recommend one !;
aud, second, in the postponement of the Sena-
torial election for two years, which lisa virtual
defeat Of Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who is thus punish
ell for manifesting q >iisposition to support
Douglas, II nominated for President. South
Carolina, which has repeatedly refused to
choose delegates to National Conventions, will
now elect under similar Instructions. Missls-
sippi will no the same thing, aud AN informed
that Texas, Louisiana. Virginia, and Georgia
are expected TO follow suit.

For the Union and journal.

Mn. EDITOR IL did not think OF writing up
on the subject Of Temperance again, but GER
tainly cannot fOrbear, when look upon the
state of our city, and think Of the obligations
that rest upon all who profess to be upon the
side of temperance. Our city certainly is get
ting behind the times, for in other places,
where the evil of intempcrance does not exist
to such an extent as II does here, the people are
becoming awakened upon the subject. In our
ueighboring town across the river, weekly tenn
perance meetings are held, and much interest is
manifested, and good will ultimately result.
In Kennebunk the citizens have become inter-
ested, and meetings are held weekly, and these
meetings have had a wonderful result, consider
Ing that they have only been in operation some
six weeks. \ committee were appointed to
wait upon the runsellcrs in that place and en-
dcayor to get them to give up the traffic in i'll
toxicatng drinks, and all those that have been
called upon have agreed to stop the sale Of Ii
quor. Thus little effort upon the part of tenn
perancc men in that place has done much for
the cause oftemperance, and many wife who
has dreaded the coming of her husband in times
past, will forever remember with gladncss, the
formation of these temperance meetings. In
Saccarappa the people have become aroused
and party barriers have been broken down, and
unitedly they met upon common platform, to
resist the illegal traffic in liquor. The result
was, that warrants were issued against the
parties engaged in selling, and demijons aud
casks were speedily emptied of their contents
These are but q few of the places that arc en-
gagged in the temperance cause, AMI now the
question comes, "what are we doing here! I"
"What arc the citizens of BiddelOrd doing to
arrest the devastation of intemperancc, and
towards closing up the many vile dens that in-
fest our city ?" We look around upon those
who had on once the temperance armor, but
we find that they have laid it by. and nothing is
done to arrest those who are staggering down
10 the grave Shall no hand be outstretchcd to
save? Shall no effort be made on our part =
Shall we look on with folded hands while the
food still rises higher and we find ut last 1t has
even entered our own door' God forbid. Let
us now while our ncighboring towns are at
work, resume the arlnor, and engage in the
contest for lie, knowing that they who battle
for the right, spend not their strength in vain.

BlddeiOtd, Me-, Friday Morning, Feb. 10, 1860,
Complimentary Notice-short but Sweet.

The following elegant eftusion, Sigh tly COM
plimentary to ourselves, we copy for the benefit
ofwhom II may concern, from the last issue OF
the Saco Democrat.
Editor of .uaiae Democrat:
Ny attention was called yesterday 10 n
scurrilOus article in q newspaper published in
BiddesOrd, in which, together with other libel
lous matter, am falsely and maliciously rep
resented rs having protaned the name the
Supreme Being. He whnha thus horne "filse
witness against his neighbor" in his powerless
endeavor to do him an injury, has not only
been guilty OF breach of the ninth command
ment, but OF the third also; for in his false
charge against me, he wreichei creature has
most fagraRtly taken he name Qfhis CREATOR
ia rGia.
Yours, A. II.
A. II. writes, as well rs speaks pithily. We
advise him to cultivate his talents for the fanci-
fal and impossible as he is certain to excel in
such directions; by no means TO forget that
the great thing TO be attained by all good
writers is q perfect command of the 'itupera;e
aud abusive in the communication Of ideas.
Profane illusions and expressions he is already
familiar with, AMI they will come perfectly
natural to him. Tn this point he needs no
advice. So much by way OF instruction.
AS to the article in our paper which has
called into exercise his talents MS writer, we
assure him with great candor that it is not our
practice to make statements without having
the power to substantiate them. All that was
said in that article purporting to be record
OF the express language used by the speaker
referred to, is strictly true.
We thought at the time it was uttered it was
entirely such as the public had Alright to expect
from such sources, and we took it, as without
doubt il was taken by the convention, as COM
petent evidence of the qualifications OF the
speaker to represent his friends worthily in the
Charleston Convention.
We have only to say that the remark was
taken down when uttered, the attention OF
several individuals called to it as soon as il fell
from the lips of the speaker, was deliberately
printed, and whatever Of responsibility there
may be attached to its publication, we shall
not shrink from. A. II. may pass the present.

Mr.. Fessenden's Speech.
OBSERVER.

We publish in this paper speech from
our distinguished Senator in Congress, Hon.
VIM. p. Fcsscndcn in reply to the absurd
andunust charges ex-senator Dougasagains'
the Republican party. The speech is not II
full report of all that was said by MIR. FEES,
sender on the occasion referred to, but 1t is
80 on all the points which are touched upon,
and like everything that comes from our
Senator, is perfect and unanswcriblc in state
mcnt and argument. We need not ask our
readers to give it a careful pcrusal. They
will do so without any request OF ours.

STRENGTH or lRoS PILLAns.-FAL or THE
rEMBERIoS MbLL-A correspondent OF the
Boston Courier. makes the following comments
on iron columns, which are worthy the special
attention Of the public. Atter abiding 10 the
fall OF the Pemberton mill, the writer adds !:
The hollow iron columns supporting the floor
below this heavy machinery had lost strength.
Though adequate tn the support of the floor
and machinery above introduced-and probably
to much greater pressure than ut any time
brought TO bear on tbcm-the constant jar OF
the revolving shafts. aud wheels aud spndles,
had produced the same change In them which
is known To take place in the wrought iron
axles Vt railway cars amer long running.
The same change is produced in east iron
cannon--so that having been frcda certain
number Of rounds, they are condemned as un-
safe, and have been known TO burst with inferior
charges. The cohesion is lessened. The tibrous
condition il changed to the granular. The
continuous vibration causel by the machinery
had produced In the upper columns (more free
tlian the lower ones to experience In acond,ion
Of texture in which the cohesion of parts WAS
less 50 that the incidental joting attendant
upon the moving Vt the heavy mass Of michine-
ry caused the tirst rupture. Amer this. IL Is
easy To see that the crash Of the whole was in
eyiinble. Tie pressure would be no longer
vertical on .he adjacent columns, and their
capacity to support would be corrcspondinSiy
