not satisfy the crowd, whose thirst for Curtin
seemed insstiate. 30 the Governor had TO come

To the Editors Of the Press:
l am very glad to see in your advertising
columns notice of meeting to be held on
Sunday evening next, to endorse the Emanci-
patton proclamation. And am also pleased
that the meeting is to be held on the evening
of the Sabbath, for two substantial reasons:
First.-Because the Sabbath is a day which
finds some persons at leisure whose time is
pre-oceupied on other days, and who especial
ly need to be enlightened on this topic, and
Secondly.-Because a sacred day is thus de-
voted to a sacred object-an object which pre-
eminently affects the moral well-being of mil
lions now alive, and of untold millions yet I'M
born; while it is a direct application of the
Scripture that "the Sabbath was made for
MAN"
We are commanded to remember the Sab
bath day to keep it holy The advocacy of
Emancipation, or the encouragement of its
advocacy by ones personal presence, is mode
of keeping holy time which commends itself
to my Judgment and conscience.
But if any have scruples, of course they
will stay away. Nor will it be regretted, since
their advocacy of the cause of Humanity else
where, if my observation be not entirely at
fault, is of very little account any way.
Thanking Heaven that can rejoice in the
term, subscribe myself

~B- The Argus CONSTITUTES the election of
Hon. VIM. A. Richardson OF ILL.,, to the U. S.
Senatorship, into "vindication of the memo
ry OF Douglas" 1t is rather mark of con-
tempt offered to the memory of the great
Statesman of the Northwest. True, Richard
son was the working friend of Douglas during
and previous to the Presidential campaign,
but like Vallandigham, he could have had no
sympathy for the principles upon which Doug
las stood. He is a cold, coarse partizan, of
Southern birth and Southern feelings, who,
when rebellion eliminated in open war parted
from Douglas, and led off with Vallandigham,
Ben. Wood and the other Southern politicians
in framing and publishing the famous "Ad-
dress of the Democratic Congressman" in
which concession was made to every demand
of the shareholders, and the most odious see
tional Southern doctrines were enunciated.
Such men as Gen. Logan, Gen McClernard
and other OF the fast friends of Douglas, who
sympathized with him afler-as they had done
beiore-the Sumter affair, when he was cleo
trifying the people of his own State with his
appeals in behalf of the country and against
rebellion, and when he was advocating "the
most gigantic preparation for war" as "the
shortest road to peace such men, we say
denounced Richardson and his address, as
they now denounce the schemes and policy of
those who have elected him. The worst enc
mics of Douglas in Illinois, have labored to Sc
cure Richardson's election, and, therefore, it
should be regarded as a mark of contempt Tor
the memory of that great Statesman.

LAND AGENTS REPoKT.-The Annual Re-
port of the Land Agent of the State of Maine
announces an expenditure on roads and bridg-
es, chiefly in Aroostook county, of S2s1715,
Theprineipal roads in this county are now
self-sustaining; but an appropriation is need
ed for the western road over which the u S.
mail is conveyed to Fort Kent.
The receipts of the Treasury from the Land
Office during the year amount to S23,577.27.
The grant of lands to the Aroostook rail-
road by the act of March s, 1861, has become
VOID by the terms of that act, which was con-
dtional, requiring loan of the credit of the
city of Bangor, since refused by that city. The
Land Agent renews his Recommendation, that
permits to cut timber on these and other pub
lie lands be Systematically issued, as the best
means of securing a large revenue to the
Treasury. He might have added, that the
same policy is the most effectual protection of
the public timber from pillage, since the hold
ers of permits become ipso fdcto watchmen
and detectives for the State.
