lV The Portland Advertiser, which is
controlled by sort of political soldier of for
tune, yesterday had an article on the tyranny
of the tunes under a Republican Government
and a Republican Party" The whole article
was whining complaint respecting two Or
ders restraining the publication of contraband
war news, issued by two veteran Democrats
+. NJ. Stanton and John +. Wool. What an
argument against the Republican Party -
Lowell Courier. 9Th.
sy-During the past week a gentleman
called upon the President and solicited
pass for Richmond. "Well," said the Pres-
dent, 81 would be very happy to oblige you,
my passes were respected: but the fact is,
sir, l have, within the past two years, given
passes to 100000 men to go to Richmond,
and not one has got there yet" The appli-
cant quietly and respectfully withdrew.
svvanity Fair having assumed unequivo-
cal loyal ground and confined its satires and
caricatures to the opponents of the government
the Boston Commercial Bulletin expresses re-
greet that 1t should have become partisan
sheet Loyalty is a partisan characteristic,
then, is it? We have long feared that the
their party, and of necessity that it would
find lodgment only with those who oppose
that party.
q Hon. Edward Everett, who was
jealous friend of the Crittenden compromise
resolutions, frankly states that he was mistak-
en- In relation to them, that they were defeat
ed by the refusal of Southern senators to vote
for them, and if adopted that they would have
done no good. Since Mr.. Everett has made
these declarations, conservatives" have dis
covered that he is in his dotage, and men who
never knew much as he forSets every day
of his life are attempting to show his mis-
takes!
sV The Machias Union-edited by man
who held office under the last administration
by the grace of that pure patriot, Howell
Cobb - proposes the question, "How shall
peace be obtained?" and then answers its own
question by saying "emphatically, through the
principles and by the influence of the Demo-
cratic party" As the boys would say, there
is cheek for you. We have never heard or
read Of but one case that would match it,
and that was when Millions notorious old
rebel and secessionist, meeting the worlds
Redeemer when beset by trials, proposed that
he should relieve himself and secure honor
and fame by falling down and ,eorshiping the
Deru!
GB- The Bath Times says young man
from Edgecomb having occasion to go to Wis
casset, place where treason has found few
devoted friends met there four or five men who
were rejoicing over our failure to take Fort
Sumter, saying they would like to have been
in the fort to have had the opportunity of fir
ing upon our gunboats. The young man said
he would like to have been in the gunboats for
the purpose of firing at them if such were
their sentiments. One of them to show his
Southern pluck, stepped up to the young man
and struck him in the face, when the young
man in Yankee style sent him sprawling on
the floor with black eye. Another came up
and was served in the same way, and so on
until he had floored the whole battalion of
| them.
