GENERAL FEssEypEy's "BIAcK HrARI

GENERAL FEssENDEN's "BLAcK HEART"
Samuel Fessenden struggled on through
evil report and good report, holding up the
banner OF freedom Tor all men, not whites
alone, but blacks as well. 1t was a matter OF
principle with him and he was regardless of
what men might say, if it conilcted with his
sense Of right. He received colored persons
into his house, he took them with him to
church, he visited them in their families, and
encouraged them in every way to give them
self-respect and place in society. General
Fessenden has always been extremely popular
with those people, not only from his great
benevolence of character, but from the strong
undertaking interest he has taken in the race.
One OF them, TO show his affection, at
festival which they held, gave the following
toast General Fessenden-though he has
white face, be has black heart Willis's

n-The Argus saws that Mr.. Sweat. in h

sEeThe Argus says that Mr.. Sweat, in his
recent speech in the old City Hall, did not
counsel resistance to law, but expressly urged
submission TO law, and it also says that il the
report in that paper conveyed different i'm
preston from this it did Mr.. S. Injustice
While we insist that the inference we drew
from the report of the speech in the Argus was
perfectly legitimate, we are satisfied, from the
understanding of candid men who listened to
Mr.. Sweat, that his speech was not objection
able on the ground of any expressed or i'm
piled counsel to resist any law of the land
Indeed, the leading point in Mr.. SIS speech
was his effort to show the binding nature of
all laws, and that so long as law of Congress
stands upon the statute books, it should receive
the implicit obedience of every good citizen,
and while all have the right 10 discuss it, or
even to deny its justice or its policy, no one
has right to resist it so long as it remains
law-that Democrats should obey laws not in
accordance with their syinpathies the same as
men opposed to slavery should obey the fugi-
tive slave law-because it is law. The "strong
right arm" quotation was used in no such con-
nection as reported in the Argus. We as
cheerfully make the above correction as though
Mr.. Sweat were of our own political stripe,
though we. expect no reciprocity in such mat
tiers from the organ of his party in this city.

A COMPLIMENT TO THE MAINE SOLDIERS
RELIEF AssocIATloN.-The Washington cor
respondence of the Boston Herald says
"The Maine Soldiers Relief Association is
in the receipt OF more packages from home
than the State Agent is able TO forward daily
TO the regiments in the field. The Massachn-
sets Society would be glad to report a similar
condition of affairs"
1t would appear from the above that Massa-
chusetts has not provided so well for her troops
as our own State. Maine las sent to the field
her entire quota of troops under all the calls,
and after sending her troops she takes care of
them.

sB- One day last week, as we learn from
the Hallowell Gazette, the house of Samuel
LongIellow of that city was entered and rob-
bed of money to the amount of $l400 in bills
on various banks, and two pieces of railroad
scrip, of $1,000 each, one issued by the city of
Gardiner, and the other by the town of Bruins
wick. young man by the name Of William
Hall, belonging in Bath, who was at the house
of Mr.. Longfellow on the night of the robbery,
was arrested by City Marshal johnson on
Thursday, on suspicion of having been con-
cerned in the transaction. Mr.. Hall, who ap-
pears to be gentlemanly and intelligent
young man, was arraigned before Judge Gil
man on Thursday, and after lengthy exami-
nation was bound over for his appearance for
trial before higher court, in the sum of $4,000.
For want of bail he was committed to jail at
Augusta.

The Late Election an Earnest OF Autumn.
nal Victory.

The result of the city election here must not
be regarded as any index of what will be ex-
hibited in September, when the question of
National politics will be more directly involv-
ed. A majority of 2l7 is very unstable reli-
ance in vote of more than forty-one hundred
citizens, any how it can be treated.
We are not mistaken when we say the cleo
tion of Tuesday does not reflect, only technic-
ally, the success OF this city upon either State
or National politics. Nor really does it, the
popular Judgment in respect to men. The
Fall election will tell the truthfulness of our
judgment in proclaimi1g that the war to be
successful must be conducted upon Constitu-
tionat principles.-[ Advertiser.
Very true, but not in the light in which the
Advertiser views it, as will be seen by refer
ence to the Municipal elections for three years
past. compared with the Fall elections.
In 1860, Mr.. Howard, democrat, was elected
Mayor by AZ majority. At the Fall election
the republican majority was 346.
In 1861, Mr.. Thomas was elected Mayor by
$50 majority. At the Fall election the repub-
lican majority was 527.
In 1852, Mr.. Thomas was elected Mayor
by 100 majority. AT the Fall election the
majority was $50.
The above is a fair criterion. The Repub-
licans have not done SO well at Spring cleo
tion for three years as they have this year,
and, as usual, the majority will be largely in
creased in the Fall; indeed, If the average
gains of the Fall over the Spring election for
the past three years is an indication of the ftl-
ture, then the Republican majority next Sept
ember will be over 1000; and large as this
figure now seems, if all loyal men will do their
whole duty, and stand together, large as it
seems it may be largely exceeded.

The only question which remains Is tn 70

1t is the law administered under the Con-

worthy of controversy. To strike at it
now may be assimilated TO the act of Jack
