y-No one will dispute that F. o. j. Smith
is a man of excessive modesty. He has been
ia his seat in the legislature three or four days
since the opening of the session, and yet has
introduced long series of "Whereases' and
Resolves" contemplating changes in the
constitution Of the United States, affecting
nearly the whole framework of the Govern
ment, and that remarkably accommodating
body uoted to print his copperhead drivel.-
1t strikes us as rather lack of good judg-
ment as well as of gallantry on the part of the
House to print for F. Q. j. S. and give our lady
political economist, Mrs. Jane Thurston, leave
to withdraw. Her "Plan for saving the Union"
is infinitely superior to his, and has the still
greater advantage Of being backed by an earn
est, honest and loyal spirit. We institute no
comparisons between the sanity OF the two.

ADVANTAGES AND yEEds.
Portland should become, and littei is wanting
to make her, the most eligible place on the At
lantic coast for the transaction of the wholesale
trade of large section of country embracing
not only all of Maine, parts of New Hampshire
and Vermont, but Especially for many artices)
considerable portions of the Provinces.
Among her needs are the new Hotel which has
been so long talked about and which is so great
adesideratum the line of steamers between Ma
chas and the intermediate ports in Washington
and Hancock counties; and a few more first class
importing and jobbing dry goods houses. She
has some very fine ones already, but more
would assure the confidence ofpurchasers, would
add TO their number and increase the trade of
those now in the business.

Lights aud shadows a. the Capital.

AUGUSTA, Jan. S, 1853.
Never was organization effected more ex-
pedtiously or smoothly than the organize
tons Of the two Houses on Wednesday last.
OF course the business was nearly all of a
routine character, affording neither excite
ment nor special interest, and yet there was
one little episode that served for a moment to
break the monotnous surface of the flowing
waters. 1t was on this wise:
After the organization of the House, Mr..
Drummond OF Bath, offered an order direct
ing the Clerk to furnish the members with the
legislative editions daily of the Kennebec
Journal. The order passed without a word
in opposition. A few minutes afterwards, Mr..
Talbot of East Machias, offered similar or
der in relation to the Age. Mr.. Lynch of your
city, suggested that the Age was better suited
to the latitude OF South Carolina than to the
loyal atmosphere of the Capital of Maine, and
therefore Removed to table the order. The
motion prevailed without so much as a doubt
expressed by the opposition. Ten minutes
later Mr.. Talbot offered another order, 10
supply the democratic members of the House
with copy OF the Age during the session.
Mr.. Farwell Of Rockland, would not oppose
the order il the mover would so modify it as
TO furnish the paper to such members only as
desired it, they signifying their desire by leav-
ing their names with the Clerk. He believed
there were several gentlemen cldssed as DEM
ocrats who would esteem ii a poor compli-
ment to have such paper forced upon Them
Mr.. Talbot modified his order, and it was al
lowed to pass, but as it proposes to furnish
the Tri- Weekly Age, it is doubtful if any re-
suit follows, for, cut off from State support it
is not sure that the proprietors of the Age
win feel like throwing away money in the
issue of a tri-weekly edition, merely for the
amusement of thirty democrats in the House,
especially il large percentage of that num-
Der decline to write "Copperhead" against
their names by giving the Clerk their order.
The Senate voted to supply its members with
the Journal, but no sign was made for the
Age.
The President of the Senate, Hon. GEO. Il.
BARRows, OF Fryeburg, is a gentleman who
will grace the position which has been
filed in years past by some of Names most
honored sons. He is scholarly man, Of
much literary taste, a graduate of Dartmouth
College, class Of 1916; went through regu'
