Salaries of the Judges.

Forty-three years ago, when the population
of Maine was but one -third of what.it is now,
and the expenses Of living were less than at
present by one-half, the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Judicial Court wa. paid $500, and
the Associate Justices were paid $1,000 per
annum. few years later the compensation
Of the Judges was equalized, all receiving ST.
800. Since these salaries were fixed, the
wages OF the laboring man in every depart
ment OF industry have doubled. The salaries
Of the Judges remain as they were. Is it
honest? Is it just? Is it wise? What Bank,
what merchant, what manufacturer, what far
mer, expects or desires to obtain the services
Of a cashier, clerk, agent or laborer, for the
prices paid forty or even five years ago?
1t is impossible for Judge who does not
own his house and SO is saved from paying
rent, to live in Bangor, Augusta or Portland,
If his family extends beyond himself and wife,

The Bangor Wing and the Removal Ques-
ton.


The people of Portland were not little sur
prised to find in the Bangor Wing of Tuesday,
an article on the removal of the seat Of gov
eminent, exhibiting anything but kind spirit
towards Portland, and setting forth reasons
for allowing the capital to remain where it is,
which betray anything but reciprocity Of the
uniform good fellowship which Portland has
ever shown towards her sister city on the Pc
nobscot 1t was not the opposition of the
Wing to the removal per Sc that surprised our
people,-though Penobscot is believed to be
overwhelmingly in favor of the measure and
Bangor by no means opposed to it,-but it was
the evident design and purpose of the article
to misrepresent Portland, to pander to preju-
dice, and to get up false issues, which staggered
our people, until they learned through gen.
tleman from Aroostook that both the editors
and publishers of the Wing were Kennebec-
ers, and ttxt this is by no means the first time
they have shown willingness to subordinate
the interests of the State, and even of Penob-
scot county to Kennebec, as was witnessed by
their position on more than one occasion In
reference to the Aroostook, and the European
and North American Railroads not supposed
to be projected on the narroc gage.
Portland has been true friend to Bangor,
stood side by side with her on the Aroostook
railroad question, aud also on the question Of
consolidation of railroads for the benefit MAIN
ly Of that city and her citizens, and she only
asks now not to be misrepresented, to be mis-
judged, and to be assailed by the organ of the
public sentiment Of that city. She is willing
to contend with and will respect Kennebec
influence on the Kennebec, but does not ex-
pect to have to contend with its assaults on
the Penobscot.

Our Quota-How shall i, be filed

Maine has thus far met every demand of the
President upon her, promptly and cheerfully.
She has not only sent forward the number of
men which has been called for, but men main
ly, who would each not only count man, but
do mans work in any position in which they
have been called upon to act. Maine has no
cause TO be ashamed of the record of the men
she has sent into the field. Her Howard,
Berry, Jameson, Shepley, Doughty, Nicker-
son, Dow and others we might mention, have
stood along side the brayest of the brave in
the hour of danger. The achievements of the
immortal sixth Maine at Rappahannock
Station, are fresh in the Recollection of all,
and will be ever memorable in the annals of
the history OF this rebellion. With few excep-
tions the men from Maine, officers and pri-
Yates, have discharged every duty required of
them, faithfully and manfully.
The President now wants few more OF the
same sort. Shall he have them The call
for our proportion Of 100000, has been fully
met without resort to draft; shall not the
balance be raised in the same way? The in
ducements to enlist are very different from
what they were when the first regiments were
called for. The bounties are now such as fur
nish basis of permanent independence If
the person enlisting returns, and if he should
not return, his family or those dependent upon
him, are provided for to some considerable ex-
tent by bounties, pensions, &c. Then again,
the more there are called out, the easier il
n I. -. A.
tlnuous mistake in carrying on the war, has
been in not having men enough at every
point of attack or defence to meet the emer-
gency. That mistake has been clearly seen
and is now provided for.
The enemy is already driven to desperation.
Resources OF every description are failing
them. Now is the time to strike, at every
point, the decisive blow that shall cruSb the
rebellion and restore the government to peace
audharmony. However much we may have
been mistaken heretofore in regard to the re-
sources Of the South, every one must see that
each succeeding month the cord has been
drawn closer around the rebellious states, and
their facilities for getting supplies have been
steadily growing less and their currency con-
stantly depreciating.
The business of the hour in each OF the
loyal states Is to furnish the President the
number Of men he has called for. That the
call is made with a full understanding of the
wants Of our army, nobody can deny. Let
the call be met as becomes true loyal citizens
Let it be met in the same spirit in which it is
made--in the same spirit of unfnching de-
termination in which all the calls Of the State
have heretofore been met. Let the men be
raised, II possible, without resort to a draft
1t can be done if the right measures are pro-
posed in the legislature and vigorously carried
out. The balance to be raised in this State
deducting those who have volunteered and re.
enlisted, will be about 1000. Let them be en-.
rolled before the tides of March,"
