Fowler and walter cAurn.

We have received the following commuhi-
cation respecting tho merits OF this churn.
Tho source whence 1t comes gives It such
weight that We cheerfully give II room in our
columns. Mr.. Roberts our present County
Treasurer, is we'll known farmer Of Water
borough; and We think that wo but speak
the universal sentiment wherever he Is known,
when we say that he would not give the use
of his name tho merits Of any article until
he had become satisfied Of its superiority, by
a careful and thorough examination, and
then Ionly for the purpose Of comforting q
public benefit.
We commend the communication to the
careful attention Of farmers, and only add
that II was sent to us without the knowl.
edge or solicitation Of the proprictors Of tho
churn:-
Mr.. ERIroR A notice OF the Fowler K
Walter churn was published in the Demo.
crat Of Oct. IA. and subsequently, copied into
the Journal. Since reading that article |
have seen the chum on exhibition in this
town, where by actual experiment II churn.
cd butter from sweet milk in five minutes.
It has long been known to scientific men
that butter was contained in small sacks or
giobules, and the process Of churning was
simply breaking those and separating them
from the milk-hencc the slow process OF tho
old dash churn. The true philosophy seems
to havo been here attained. The milk or
cream passes, as It enters the churn, between
two small wheels which are made to reyolye
very rapidly. and so constructed Us to break
those sacks or globulcs, II then passes into
tho body Of tho churn, where q .cylinder
containing spurs or paddles. is set in motion
by the same power that turns tho breakers,
and collects together the butter. 1t is on
the whole very simple, very philosophical,
very easily cleaned, and supplies deficiency
long felt, and il it come into general use, as
have no doubt 1t will, must be great saw
ing of time and labor. I take pleasure in
recommending to my brother farmers as
great labor saving machine. w. Soulc Il

right for tho State Of Maine, and will COM

Emancipation and Abolition.

The following article which we find in the
Boston Journal, expresses our own opinions
upon this subject 50 fully, that we take the
liberty to copy it entire:-
"Thesc are used as convertible terms,
meaning the came thing. whereas they may,
and, in the great questions now before the
country, really do mean very different things.
II is assumed that the proclamation OF the
Prrsiden. will abolish slavery after the LIST Of
January in all the States which may then be
in rebellion, but this is mere assumption
not sustained by anything in tho prOclama'
ton itself or by any word or action Of the
President or Congress.
Neither tho Presidents proclamation nor
any nc. Of Congress can abolish the iH'i'tI-
t;On of slavery in any State where it legally
sxists without the concurrent action oil the
State itself. Thus, IL by virtue OF the PrOcla-
nation all the existing slaves in South Caro-
lima are smancpated. the righ to hold siare'
sill rcmain,. and may be exercised by the
people Of South Carolina whenever that
State Is again in the Union. The proclapa-
ton merely takes from them the slaves they
now own and makes freemen Of them. This
right TO DO their own masters is absolutely
conferred by IL, and South Carolina cannot
resume her place in the Union holding these
people as slaves. l,Operatss as seque'tra-
ton Of property which, in the nature Of tho
case. will not and cannot be restored, but 1t
neither forbids nor prevents investments in
the same kind Of "prOputy" in the future.
I, canno. even DO said that the same. kind Of
"prOperty" will no. exist, and that there
fore the right to buy and hold will DO bar
rem right. Cor il is not proposed to disturb
the existing relation in tho loyal slave States

Gentlemen: You will receive by tho mai

which will convince you that tho aggressiy,

naming faithful to the Union is arrested AND
that the forces OF tho Union, strengthened
and terminated, arc again ready to undertake

tho newspapers you will easily perceive that
tho financial resources OF tho insurrectior
decline rapidly, and that the means Of rails
ing troops have been exhausted.
On the other sids you will SOC that the Il

riously crippled, is being promptly respond
ed to.

tivcs abroad Of the approach Of the change
in the social organization Of the rebel States.
This change continues to make itself every
day more and more apparent.
In the opinion Of the President, the mo-
mont has como to place the great fact more
clearly before the people Of the rebel States,
and to make them understand that IL these
States persist in imposing upon the country
the choice between the dissolution Of this
Government. ut once necessary and beneficial
and the abolition of slavery. II is tho Union
and not slavery that must DO saved. With
this object the President is about to publish
a proclamation, in which he announces that
slavery will no longer DO recognized in any
OF the States which shall bs in rebellion on
the LIST orJanuary next. While all the good
and wise men Of oil countries will recognize
this measure as just and proper military
act, intended to deliver the country from q
terrible civil war, they will recognize at the

with which the Government proceeds in q

Sad Affair I'm Berwick.

During Monday night, 9th ult., Miss
Abba Kcays OF that town, came to her death
under the following circumstances she had
been unwell for several days, under tho charge
Of a physician, and on the night Of her death,
retired about 0 o'clock, and seemed to 60
quietly to sleep. Her mother left her and
went below, but soon hearing noise in the
room occupied by her daughter, returned at
once. when she found her daughter was not
in the room and a window open. She call
cd for Abba but received no reply. Nothing
could DO seen of her in the house and it was
discovered that she had jumped from the
window. She was traced across piece Of
newly plowcd ground in the direction of the
river. Diligent search was made for her,
but without avail until next morning, when
she was found drowned in tho river.
We learn that some doubts are entertained
as to whether Miss Kcays came to her death
by committing suicide. 1t has been, so We
are informed, ascertained that tho route she
pursued was quito circuitous and not direct
to tho river, and that there is reason to sup
pose that, laboring under temporary insani-
ty, caused by her bodily suiicrinss, she jump
ed from the window and wandered OF uncon.
scious Of what she was doing, and accident
ally fell into the river.
She was favorably known in hor native
town as kind. faithful and successful teach
or, and among her large circle of friends, as
o young lady of tho most amiable and retir-
ing disposition. She was beloved by all who
knew her, and her death casts a gloom over
the whole community in which she resided.
She was twenty-five years Of ago, Ind a
daughter Of tho late Col. Keays, OF Berwick,
and neice Of Gov. Goodwin of Portsmouth
and Prof. Goodwin, lato Of Bowdoin College,
but now President Of college in one Of the
Western or Middle States.

advertisement Of the above Academy.
This Academy now has a permanent teach
cr, and under his popular and thorough in

upon the former high rank which 1t has en-
joyed. As evidence OF this, the number Of
pupils at present, is larger than for several
years past. The location Of the Academy Is
delightful, being situated on high swell oil
land, in tho beautiful village Of South Ber-
wick, commanding fine view OF the same,
and overlooking most pleasing landscape oil
hill, valley and water scenery.
Tho expenses arc very low; and arrange
ments have been made by which pupils, liv-
ing on the lines Of Rail Roads can board at
home, going and returning on the trains ut
reduced rates. The academy is situated but
few minutes walk from tho Salmon Falls
Depot.

Clearly, therefore, emancipation is not alb
clifton. and all the outcry against the Pre'i.
dent, based upon his proclamation Is prcma-
ture, to say the least. So far as We have
gone yet, when peace comes the Constitution
will DO restored "as a. is" without 'he
slightest change in form or substance ana
the Union will be restored "as At 'rd' '-mi-
nus tho losses sustained by the States now
in rebellion, caused entirely by their own
suicidal acts.
The rebels claim to hold men, women and
children by the same tenure as cattle, sheep
and horses. The President proposes to Sc
qucstrate any and all Of these things for the
purpose Of putting down the rebellion. Is
there anything in the Constitution or the
laws, or in martial law. that calls upon him
to make Distinction Is there anything
in common sense to warrant such distinc-
tiOn--which saysws may give freedom to tho
horse but not 20 the man?
Doubtless there are those who are looking
to ultimate results-who SEQ, or think they
see. abolition following this act of cmanci-
ton. II may DO so, but it must DO by the
action Of Shareholders themselves. We are
dealing with the case only as it stands before
us at the present time, and we say that in
its present aspect nothing has been done by
the President which makes II necessary for
the most ardent advocate Of the "Constitu-
ton rs it is, and the Union as it was" that
gives him the slightest apology for withhold
ing his support or for giving it with any
qualification whatever"
