Lebanon, May 18th, 1861.
FRIEND CowAS.-will it crafty you to know
that Lebanon is awake to the Importance Of
the hour, and Is true to herself, and our coun-
try. We have nearly RAISED company Of SOL
diers. and, on Saturday, the 18th inst, at .
town meeting called for the purpose, AFTER pat
riotic speeches by Vim. Emery, Esq, Rev. G.
II. Smith. DR.. Jones. Y. A. Wood. II. A. Keay
Jas w. Grant, of this town and Gersham Hall.
ESQ, of Maldon, Mass. We voted to pay all
soldiers enlisted from this town nine dollars
per month additional to what they receive in
the service. Also voted to raise three thous-
and dollars to defray expenses.
The town Of Lebanon will no, consent TO be
one whit behind any Of her sister town. In nat.
riotic determination to support our govern
ment. We shall have our company 6lled mn
this week. and ready to be mustered into ..r
vice. Yours for the country as 1t was, and
shall be.
We understand that the existing papers were
sent to our friend DR.. s Parker. and that
through his efficient e1crtion aided by VIM.
Emery. ESQ, the company has been filled up
and will be organized Immediately. The COM
pany will be among the best raised in the State.

sum ofthree thousand dollars for the soldiers

- The Democrat says Of the Company
enlisted in Saco, Capt. NOyes', "Thc compa-
ny OF volunteers about to leave US for the
field Of service was recruited by Democrat,
has Democratic officers, and most Of the pri-
Yates are Democrats" and in the same con-
nection talks illnaturedly about the Admin
istration rewarding partisans.
What object does the Democrat expect to
accomplish by its illnatured partisan COM
ments? Sensible men we know in its own
party will never approve of its proclivity to
look at every thing through its party sPecta-
cles. In our Judgment, if it is not anxious
to bring itself under the suspicion OF being
really uufriendly to the Government it will
refrain from such comments as il makes I'M
der the head of mo more partisanship."
As an Offset to the statement Of the Dem
ocr,it, we would say the company Of volun-
teers from this city, about to leave us for the
field Of service, was recruited by a Republic
can, two of its three officers are Republicans,
and most of the privates arc Republicans
But what of it2 They so to fight the battles
of their country as patriots, and not as par
tisans. Does the editor of the Democrat ex'
pect the Saco company to SO in any Other
capacity? II SO, we know Capt. Noyes and
his men sufficiently to repel the SANDER.

have not scrupled to use II and claim Il as
their own, and not only this, but for years
have been sueing every body else for using
this same feed as an infringement Of thar
rights Ii now appears that johnson bro't
this suit to obtain his rights, and Il has been
one Of the hardest fought contests which has
ever arisen in any court in the country. Tho
trial lasted for several weeks, and ~ an owl

case, it Is stated that the evidence and argu-

Of New York, the great sewing machine pa
tent lawyer, and Judge Curtis, and George
T. Curtis Of Boston, two eminent patent
lawyers, were employed by. the defendants,
and every other means which money and tho
we'll known resources Of this monopoly could
command, were brought to bear upon tho
case, Johnson's rights werc fully sustained
by both court and jury. aud the decision was
given in his favor. William Whiting and
A. G. Washburn OF Boston were his coun-
sci. We hope this will result In satisfying
this monopoly Of what has long been we'll
known to the community, that the bullying
and oyerbcaring spirit they have manifested
for several years past has had no foundation
in Justice but the result most To be wished
for is that hereafter sewing machines may DO

Important Decision.

Our readers will remember that several
months since we published an article from q
leading journal concerning the extension OF
the Howe Sewing Machine Patent, which.
all things considered, was undoubtedly one
of the greatest swindles and most unjust and
barefaced impositions the long-iorbearing
people of this country were ever asked 10
submit to peaccably. The wrong was 80
palpable that almost immediate action was
taken by Congress concerning the extension
of patents which have sufficiently remuner-
ated the inventors, and tho laws were %
amended that no patent can hereafter DO ex-
tended where the patenteo has received one
hundred thousand dollars from his invention.
If Howe had really been the originator OF
the invention for which he obtained q patent
the case would have possessed some redeem.
ing qualifications, but II is well known a.
mong sewing machine manufacturers that all
Of his patent which is of any account what.
ever, was the invention of Water Hunt,
poor but honest inventor, who built ma
chine having shuttle in combination with
an eye-pointed needle, nearly twenty years
before Howe by some hocus pocus obtained q
patent for the same thing As three or iour
OF the principal sewing machines in the
country are based upon Howe's so-called in.
yention, q combination was long ago formed
by these parties TO crush out all other ma
chimes, aud by monopoliring the business to
keep up the cxorbitant prices which they
have eItorted from the public for fourteen
years past. Since the extension OF Howes
patent these parties have been more over
bearing than ever, but their success in main.

the case became ~ generally understood.-
Their suits have always been conducted upon

principle; but for the last year or two TINS

them as formerly. We understand that IN
case OF Singer X Co. against Ladd web
stcr. tried In Philadelphia, the defendants
obtained all six of the quits brought against
them. The case of Howe against Williams
& Oryis, tried In Boston, resulted in the re-
fusal of On unconditional injunction, and
was dropped. Last year Williams & 0rvis
were also sued by Grover & Baker (anothcr
party to the monopoly, and the suit pressed
with the utmost visor. every means both fair
and foul having been used TO crush them out

NORTHERN RIGnTs.-0Ds Of the most sig
nifcant facts of the present National strug-
gle is, the promptness and fullness with
which many journals previously so conserva-
tive as TO lean towards the South, have
declared for the full vindication OF Northern
rights. Says one Of our conservative ex-
changes:
The time is ripe for the due consideration
of NORTHERN rights. Long have our ears
been filed with declamatory sounds rcspec-
ting SOUTHERN rights But since South Car
olina has initiated war. forbcarance on the
part of the North has been transmitted into
o determined feeling that hereafter Justice
shall be done to people Of oil sections. and
equal rights secured to every citizen.
Among the rights which Northeners will
hereafter claim, are the following:
/. The right 10 travel without molesta-
ton through all parts Of the Union.
2. The right to collect debts in the South
due citizens Of the North.
8. The right 10 express political opinions
through the press or in the ballot box, with
out fear Of prosecution.
4. The right to be Northern men with
Union principles.
s. The right to feel that Slavery is not
n divine institution, to be perpetuated fore
yer as the basis Of American CIVILIZATION.
G. The right to DO Americans, and not
sectionalists. One great
USios party has arisen, which will yirdicato
ITS rights at oil hazards, and defend the
Union ut any cost.

Martial Law.

The enquiry is frequently made what is mar
tial law. We understand 1t to DO different
from MILITARY law which consists of tho
rules and regulations prescribed for persons
in actual military service, and does not APP
ply to persons not in actual service, whereas
MARTIAL law operates upon the whole com.
munity. We copy some definitions taken
from different authorities which will convey
a clear idea of the subject. One writer
says:
1t is an arbitrary law, originating in cmer-
gencies. In times of extreme peril to tho
State. either from without or from within,
the public welfare demands extraordinary
measures. And martial law being proclaim.
cd, signifies that the operation Of tho ordi-
nary delays Of justice is suspended by the
military power, which for the time has be-
come supreme.
II suspends the operation Of the writ OF
haJeas corpus; enables persons charged with
treason to be summarily tried by court mar
tial instead Of grand jury justifies searches
and seizures OF private property, and the
taking possession of public highways and
other means of communication.
Another authority defends martial law
thus
A system of rules for the government Of
an army is adopted in times Of actual war.
An arbitrary kind of law or rule sometimes
established in place or district occupied or
controlled by an armed force, by which the
civil authority and the ordinary administra.
ton of the law are either wholly suspended
or subjected to military power. 1t is quite
o distinct thing from military law, with
which il is sometimes COMPOUNDED.
