Singular View for a Loyal Man.

The editor of the Brunswick Telegraph
charges us with gross and wiilful injustice for
saying that freedom and slavery seem to have
equal merit in his eyes; and to destroy the
government is no more heinous than to destroy
hellish institution" We certainly intended
no injustice, for, looking at his sensitiveness
whenever hard word was uttered against the
secession-sympathizers and his readiness at
all times to couple abolition with secession,
and to demand the sacrifice of abolitionists as
an Offset for the havoc being made among the
rebels it did seem to us that our remark severe
though it might have been, was not unjust. If
there tcas any seeming injustice in the remark
when it was made, we think all who read the
last number of his paper viii admit that no
such seeming exists now. Mr.. Tenney has
said an infinitely harder thing of himself than
we have ever felt disposed to say, and if we
quote his exact language we hope he will
charge us neither with injustice nor a purpose
to create prejudice against his paper. 1t may
not be improper to say that though the Tele-
graph is not strictly political paper, its editor
is politician of most intensified type-a reg
ular disciple of the school at the head of which
in, New England now stands the Boston
Courier. In 1860 he was the editor of the
"voice from the Belfry," the campaign organ
Of the Constitutional Union party of this
State.
In his last paper, after complaining of the in
justice and willful misrepresentation of the
Portland Press, he says:
Flatly and squarely we don't see any differ
ence in the criminality of man who talks Sc
cession, and one who talks rampant Abolition.
As we are bound to be misrepresented, let us
explain for the one hundredth time, what we
mean by a rampant Abolitonist.
Mr.. Tenney then proceeds through some
twenty-five or thirty lines to tell what he does
not mean by rampant Abolition and who do
not come in for his sweeping condemnation,
and then, to show, "who he does include" in
that category, he answers:
Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts,, who thought
his State would not raise troops, unless Hun
ter's wild, fanatical policy was carried out
who would make conditions with the Govern
ment-Charles Sumner who would throw all
the rebel States back into territories, the sim
plest form OF secession-Henry Wilson, who
for purposes best known TO. himself, declared a
few weeks since we had 10000 too many men
and put stop to recruiting-Ben Wade of
Ohio,--Lovejoy of Ilnois-Chander of Mich
igan, who after McClellan's change of base at
Richmond, made a most outrageous attack up
on him In his place in the Senate-and lots and

WITHDRAWAL OF Mr.. FRYE.-W. p. Frye,
Esq. OF Lewiston, who has been a prominent
candidate for Congress in the old second dis
trict, has withdrawn Internationally from the
canvass. The Lewiston Journal says the with
drawal of Mr.. Talbot, and the announcement
that Mr.. Perham, of Oxford county, would be
candidate, has so unexpectedly changed the
character of the canvass, that Mr.. Frye deems
it his duty to withdraw from position which
he would not have assumed had the same state
of things existed when he consented to the use
of his name in connection with the nomination.
We regret exceedingly, says the Journal, as
will hosts of his personal friends, that circum-
stances should have prompted Mr.. Frye to
take this course, although we can but respect
and honor the high and honorable motives
which prompt his withdrawal at time when,
to say the least, his chances for the nomination
are equal to those of either of his competi-
tors. The republicans of Androscoggin coun-
ty,-as well as other friends outside of the
county-would have given Mr.. F. strong and
united support support which his ability
and integrity well merit.

to the citizens of Portland, who have so gener-
onsly assisted me on the occasion of the des-
truction of my printing Office in st. Stephen,
N. b., by a secession mob. Such testimonies
are as GASES in the desert of life, and will show
to the malignant demons who have been perse-
cutting me for the advocacy of Union senti-
ments, that am not destitute offiiends in this
emergency, My paper shall be re-established
in few weeks, and with firm belief in the
cause that have hitherto humbly defended, l
shall continue to fight the foes of the Union
wherever find them. j. HAY,

FLOUR EXPORTED TO ST. JOHN, n. B.
About 800 bbls. flour were shipped by steamer
New Brunswick for st. John, n. b., on Mon
day last. We are in hopes to arrange to give
a correct list of all articles of merchandise en-
ported from this port by the ST. John steamers
hereafter, but as the articles do not appear on
manifest at the custom house, as in all other
foreign clearances, and the steamboat agents
here retain no account of merchandise ship

at present, which, we trust, will be sufficient
reasons for not complying with numerous re-
