The Belfast Journal opposi,iob has ans.

THE Belfast Journal, opposition, has sus-
pended publication fer the present. Mr. Simpson
the Editor and Proprietor, is gentleman OF
means, and will therefore leave tho Improbable
business of publishing snewspaper, for something
more lucrative, and We hope congcnal. Ho is a
better citizen, than a stranger would judge by
his political writings, having warm heart, kind .
ly symplthies for all, aud meaning right eyerv
time. Strange that such a man, should be on the
wrong side in politics at such time as this. His
pea had no dull point.
We notice by tho Bcng1r dailes that the
Steamer Katadn made her last trip this week for
the season. The kstahdin is a fine boat, and un-
der its present allie management, has established
II reputation for safety, comfort and ease, supe-
rior to any Of its predecessors. Her officers arc
all so gentlenanly and quiet, and yet so attentive
and careful to all tho duties of their several sta
tions, that everything goes like clock work. and
yet no enc hardly can tell who manages tho boat.
Long may tao katahtin and her gentlemanly
officers live AMI keep on the line from Bangor to
boston, This is the sentiment Of " Down East"
