The SENATORIAL Question.

The Bath Times has an elaborate and can
did article upon the Senatorial question, the
pressure brought to bear upon Mr.. Fessenden
to induce him to resign his seat in the Sem
ate to accept place in the Cabinet, the reluc-
tance with which he consented, and the signal
success which has followed that acceptance in
the financial affairs of the country. 1t closes
as follows: as sss8a .4s845
"The question now 5recurs--who is to fill
Mr.. Fessenden's seat In the United States Sem
ate, after the 4th OF March next. Is it deter
mined that the country In Its present hour of
peril, can afford to lose the influence and
counsel of one of the ablest, most acute and
eloquent debaters now remaining among our
living orators? 1t cannot belt must not be |!
The nation has right to demand the services
OF It's statesmen In this terrible crisis. The
people or Maine, unmindful of all mere per
sonot considerations, should consult the voice
OF the nation-their own real interests, by
placing Mr.. Fessenden back into the position
he has SO long and so honorably hlled--a POI
sition, the duties of which he Is so peculiarly
qualified to discharge.
Further.-Mr. Fessenden is one of the COM
parativly few New England men. who has ac-
quired national reputation as distinguished
statesman, and challenges the admiration aid
confidence, of men of all parties, South as
wei as North. The secret Of this arises from
two main causes-his commanding ability and
his integrity. Mr.. .Fessenden never aspired
to be demagogue-he has not the first ele-
ment In his nature for such character; act
ing himself always from the highest consider
ations of public duty, he expects his friends
to be governed by the same high considra-
TONS Nevertheless, be is always warm and
generous In his friendships, and never forgets
the just claims of his friends"

Letter from PASSPORT.

To the Editor Of the Press.
We are having remarkable mild weather,
which is improved day and night by the suf-
ferers from the great fire few weeks ago.
which caused very general "turn about
among the most of our business men, and
better class as whole don't believe the sun
ever shone upon.
New buildings are going up, chequering the
burnt district very rapidly, and the founda-
tons for most of the Others are being looked
after preparatory to an early movement in the
spring for building on the same. "a
This favorable weather worked to charm
In keeping of the "blues" since the fire, mas
much as it has stimulated every one to action
to recover from his loss. But it is a blow TO
the good citizens of Passport that will long be
remembered by all of us. e. G. B.

The Message.

To the exclusion Of nearly all other matter,
we lay before the readers Of the Press to-day,
the fourth annual message Of President LIN
COLIN, delivered to both houses Of Congress
yesterday, Dec, 9th. 1t was received Dy teie-
rraph. in advance Of any abstract or synopsis,
and will be read with as much interest as any
state paper ever issued by an American states
man. Like everything Of great length that
Il necessarily hurried over the wires, it is
doubtless verbally imperfect, though the OPP
orators were as careful as circumstances
would allow, and we have used our utmost
endeavors to have it correct. 20
We have neither time nor space this morn
ing for comments, nor are they necessary.
Like all the papers from the same pea 1t IS
plain, straightforward, candid, and singulariy
felcitous in style and expression, and viii, no
doubt, receive kind and courteous nouce
from the press of the country. We reier Inc
reader to the document ITSELF for the only
concise and correcs presentation Of its facts,
figures and arguments. 4 81 get
or course, though short for such state pa
per, 1t is sufficiently long to exclude the usual
variety from our columns to-day, as well as a
large number of advertisements, but under
the circumstances we do not feel that apollo
gy Is either demanded or necessary.
Heretofore the Message has been sent over
the wires as a regular despatch to the Asso-
ciated Press, but in the present instance it
came as special despatch, for which special
pay was charged. To secure its transmission
to this city, so that 1t could be published here
as early as in Boston or New York, special
fee-amounting to more than our regular de-
spatches for week--was demanded, and we
decided to lay it before our readers before as
certaining that any other paper would con-
sent to share the expense with u.s. A third
paper-the Coarier-declined the arrange
3 ment, the Advertiser is not patron of the
Associated Press, SO the Argus and Press had
1t all to themselves, and now have the exclu-
sive privilege of paying the bills.

great national crisis like ours, unanimifv Of
action among those seeking common end Is
very desirable, and almost indispensable, and
yet not to approach to such unanimity is al.
lowable unless some Difference shall, be paid to
the will of the majority, simply, because it Is
the will of the majority. In this case our
common end Is the maintenance of the Jnion.

purpose in this country, is derived through
our popular elections. Judging by the recent

people within the loyal states to maintain The
integrity Of the Uriop was never more strony.
nor more nearly unanimous than now. The
extraordinary calmness and good order with
which the millions Of voters met and mingled
at the polls, gave strong assurance of this.--j

1t Is an unanswered argument to the effect.
