Oopperhead Patriotism.

The New York World of Tuesday last
contains the following editorials.
/. Arguing that Richmond can never be
taken, that the Summer campaign has ended
in disaster and calling for the removal of Gen.
Grant.
III. Calling President Lincoln a fool.
Ill Comparing Lincoln with Jewett and
calling him a fool.
Nv. Alleging that the cause of our failure
at Petersburg was owing to the employment
OF negro troops, and asserting that Grant so
employed them in order to manufacture poll
teal capital for Lincoln in the coming Presi-
dental election.
V. Garbling figures to show that the quo
ia for the coming draft assigned to New
York is excessive, and that assigned to Mass,
too small
vi. Asserting that we were disastrously
defeated at Atlanta, and must now withdraw
our troops to defend Northern soil against
rebel incursions, also, attrbuting this state of
things to the meddling of the President in
military affairs.
VII. Copying from Copperhead papers in
the West two putfs of the World.
There is no newspaper in the country that
can exhibit such an editorial summary as
this, which is only a fair specimen of every
days issue. The World teens with malig-
nant perversions of facts and false statements
Is this patriotism or partizanship?
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1864-08-06

and his resignation at a suitable time, will not
be regarded as discourtery by the Executive.
1t will be seen therefore. that our State is
not necessarily to be deprived of Mr.. Fessen-
Gems distinguished abilities and eminent tai
ents in the U. S. Senate. His friends will in
sist upon his return to that body at the COM
mencement of the next term, and we are glad
to know that it will not be distasteful to him
to comply with their wishes. And we are
quite sure that having yielded to the demands
of others to sacrifice place every way in har-
mony with his feelings, for the public good,
the people Of Maine will not see him suffer for
so doing, but will eheerfully and gladly re-
turn him to the Senate for the nextsix years.
1t would be great mistake to do otherwise
particularly when it is known that as Sena-
tor he stood at the head of that body, and ex-
erted more influence, perhaps, than any other
man in the Senate Chamber.

Commencement Continued.

Thursday forenoon there was quite re-
spectacle gathering at the Church. Several
speeches were made, and Prof Packard read
the Neurology which was very interesting
document 1t was admirably written and
read by the Professor. The Dead were feel
ingly noticed, and brief accounts of their
characters given. There is one fact worthy
of special notice. A large portion OF the
graduates who received the honors OF this
college during the past ten or twelve years,
have entered the army, and the neurology
shows quite a long list of these who have
been killed or sickened and died in the cause
of our country. 1t is indeed roll of honor,
her quota.
During this meeting a contribution was
taken up for the erection of monument to
the memory of Professor Cleayeland. Some
three hundred dollars have already been col
ected of the Alumni, and all will yet have an
opportunity to pay a dollar each. Prof. Pack
ard, Mr.. cleveland, of Brooklyn, New York,
and p. w. Chandler, of Boston, were appoint
ed committee to procure a design for the
monument and to superintend its erection.
Glass Day exercises were quite interesting.
! In the afternoon au Grafton and Poem were
delivered in the church, which were well re-
ceived. Alter these services, quite a crowd
gathered around the Old Oak Tree where the
Chronicles were read, the Prophecy made,
and parting address delivered. These exer-
cses were very amusing, and good deal OF
wit was displayed on the occasion
The public rooms were opened in the morn
! ing, and were thronged by the curious. The
minerals, shells, library, paintings and the en-
graved stones from Egypt are all objects Of
much interest, and well repay those who ex-
anime them. Such an exhibition is really In
structive as well as amusing. Everything is
arranged in fine order, aud shows that those
who have the care of this department perform
well their duties.
The college grounds are beautiful and spa.
cious. There are but few places in our coun-
try more TO be desired than these grounds
The hedges, shrubbery, walks and pine groves
are delightful. But few colleges have such
pleasure grounds, and it is very gratifying to
| see them so well cared for
Thursday these grounds were visited by
the Catholics of Lewiston. They came seven
hundred strong, young men and maidens, old
fathers and mothers, and some children. They
were bound on having good time. Wagon
loads of provisions were early on the ground
so that none suffered the pangs of hunger
They were well-dressed and well-behayet
multitude. The Bridgets and Marys wer,
smart looking girls, and full of life, animation
and good health; and the Patricks and Mi
chaels were active, attentive and gallant
They were bound to enjoy themselves ant
have good time.

JUSTICES REQUIRE A LIcENsE.-I. may
not be known to all our readers that Justice
of the Peace, under the new Internal Revenue
Law, requires a license in order to qualify
him to take Acknowledgements OF deeds, or to
perform other official acts under his commits
sion-~a license costing more than the commits
sion itself. Such we are informed is the fact.
We would say to the people of North Raymond
and vicinity, that STILLMAN A. DANFoRTH,
Esq, Of that town, has been licensed, and is
prepared to do business fully accredited. Per-
haps there may be other Justices In that re-
gion also qualified, but we make this notice
not so much for Mr.. DIS benefit, as for the in
formation of those who may desire to have
their business done without loop holes.
