THE ANrHRopoGLossos.
The Maine Democratic Convention

The resolutions of this body, published on
our first page, are pertinent illustration of
the way IN which partisan rancor tends to
extinguish patriotic feeling. They contain
not word OF sympathy or cheer for our sol
diers In the field, not a word of rebuke for
the armed enemies of the country, but consist
of long rigmarole ofinvectiyes against the
Administration for conducting "a iratricidal
and calamitious war" by unconstitutional
means for unconstitutional purposes.
The spirit OF the resolutions is even worse
than the form. Their whole tendency is 10
paralyze the patriotism of all they may IL
fuence. They will be read with satisfaction
In Richmond, because they Indicate that
minority In Maine is busy in getting up a"iIe
In the rear" Of the troops which Maine has
sent to fight the enemy. They should in fact
be read in connection with what the Rich
mond Sentinel says of the proposed rebel in
yasion of the North, which they will direct
ly aid. at is not" says that journal, "at all
improbable that we may this fall invade the
North, and on her soil dictate the terms of
peace. AT all events, 1t is worth trying. The
North is just about to become bankrupt IN
men aud means, and now is the time to push
her 10 the wall. A just retrioution demands
that we retaliate on her the cruelties she has
Inflicted on US. An opportunity of SO doing
may soon again occur
1t must not be supposed that this Conven-
tion represented the majority Of the people
OF Maine, a State which can Justly boast Of
giving to the country its full share of ardent
patriots, skilful generals and intrepid soldiers,
aud which is now sound to the core in every
thing which relates to the principles aud 10
the conduct OF the war. Neither does II rep
resent toe great body OF the Democrats of
that State, for some of the most di,tingui he'd
Democrats OF Maine are daily proving by
words and deeds how little the Convention
echoes their sentiments or does Justice to
their aims. 1t simply, in fact, gives voice to
the disloyA instincts and disappointed greed
of selfish and cynical faction in the State,
whose whole hope of gaining power and Of
fee depends on their success ia lowering the
tone of the puplc mind and in contributing
10 the public calamities.

SWIFT AND Hrs SERvANT.--Dean Swift
while on journey, and stopping at tavern.
desired his servant John twh0, by the way.
was as eccentric as his MASTERY to bring him
his boots. John brought up the boots in the
same state as they were taken off the evening
previous.
"why didn't you polish my boots?" said
the Dean.
"There's no use Ia polishing them," said
the man, "for they would soon be dirty again"
Very true" said the Dean, and he put on
his boots. Immediately after, he went down
to the landiady, and told her on no account
TO give his servant any breakfast. The Dean
breakiasted and then ordered the horses out.
As be was ready to start, John ran TO him in
great hurry and said
"Mr. Dean, l haven't got any breakfast
yet"
.'Ob," replied the witty divine. there is no
use in your breakfasiing, for you would soon
be hungry again"
John finding his theory thrown back on him
self, submitted to the privation with the same
stocism, as did his master with his boots. On
they rode, the Dean In front reading his pray
er book and the man behind at respectful
distsnce. when they were met by gentleman
whe said:

CAPT. sEMMEs' BOOK
Is out this week. 1t has evidently been got
up in a hurry for the market, otherwise it
would scarcely be dsigured with such vile
photographic portraits of Semmes and the Of
hcers of the defunct pirate ship. IL is not
badly written, having been evidently touched
up by some literary man-ofa al-work. There
are some disclosures in 1t which Semmes had
better have reserved for posterily. For ex-
ample, he states that in seeking to enlist the
sympaihies OF the Cuban authorities, he

being shareholders, were the natural allies of
Spain, and that as they were both rowing in
the same pro-slavery boat, mutual co-opera-
tion aud friendship were desirable Again he
states that he told the French Governor of
Martinique, that the true issue of the war
was the abolition crusade of the North-a
frank admission OF a fact which the Federal
sympathisers in this country have again and
again been attacked for affirming. II also ap-
pears that, according to bis own story, in
1861, before the war actually began. and when
he was chief of the Lighthouse Bureau at
Washington, and therefore an officer OF the
Federal Government, he was employed by
Jefferson Davis to purchase war material In
the Northern States, and was especially advis-
ed by him TO call upon one Wright, at per-
cusson-cap mandatory in that city, to en-
deayor 10 induce that person to go South.

cry, merits only contempt and adherence.
