@The Washington correspondent OF
the y. Y. Tribune gives the following ar
com. Of the final closing ~ .: G.aeral
Buffers gold speculation" concerning
which so much has been said
tsatenents tha, have been going
the rounds of the Cnpperhead press that
Maj Gen. Baker had been obliged to delv-
er over to NTH &Co. of New Orleans the
sum OF $4,000 in gold, seized by MIN while
in command OF the Department ofthe Gulf,
together with interest. pnuniagc, Sheriff
fees and costs, are fatally untrue. The
flc:s are breiiy these : Sch Butler seized
the san of $4,000 in gold upon tlis ground
that the ssme was the property of the
United States Mint ut New Orleans. This
was denied By Smith s. Co., whp claimed

Hancock Men Abroad.

few weeks since we alluded to the sub
ieet of Hancock citizens leaving us for
more important fields for business. We
were not aware at the time how many OF
our citizens had gone abroad and are now
in business in other localities, until we be-
gan to write their names; and alter little
time and thought on the matter, we faxed
to recollect many names that havereeently
left us. II is not TO be expected that we
can call to mind all these men; but since
writing the other article the following
names have occurred TO us:
Geo. NJ. Sargent. Goth South ST.. New
York. of the firm of Thayer & Sargent.
Commission merchants. There are also
in that city quite number of successful
business men from Bucksport, whom we
do not know by name.
Boston has a large number of Hancock
men. Augustus b. Perry. an old and sue
cessful business man of Sullivan. and his
son Oliver, and j. G.. Mosely. Esq, consti-
tt,te the firm of Augustus B. Perry 4 Co.,
232 State Street. J. S. Lord & Co., an old
merchant of Ellsworth, located at No. 6,
Commercial St. Messrs. Hathaway &
Langdou, firm that was ten years in sue
cessful business in this village, No. 1856
State St. Amasa Sargent, with Israel
Munroe & Co.. is another Ellsworth mer-
chant. TIC. Jordan, another Ellsworth
man, whom we are pleased to learn has
been highly successful. as partner in the
business firm of Isaac Fenno & Co. John
:. Emery & Co., that is. John S. and Dan'l
S. Emery, Commission merchants. lo4
State ST., prosperous and reliable firm,
formerly of Sullivan. john H. Jarvis. and
Il brother We believe, formerly of Castine,
now of Boston. There are others from
that town and vicinity, whose names do
not occur to lis at this moment. II. z.

farther to-day. Some other time we may
continue the record.

of the opposi,ion started

Some OF the opposition started the
story that Postmaster General Dennison
does not sympathise with the Union party,
and therefore does not care to have Post
masters in New Hampshire do their duty
to the Uuion cause in the pending election
in that State. Mr.. Dennison, when. the
fact was brought to his attention wrote a
letter, in which occurs this passage:-
~ have never intimated to any Post
master in your State, or elsewhere. how
would like him 10 vote. and never expect
to do so as long rs remain in my present
official position: nor have | minated to
any Republican Postmaster that TO vote
the Republican ticket would be followed by
his removal from office, or to his prejudice
in any way. To do so would imply at
least purpose on my part to dissolve my
connection with the Union Republican
party-a purpose which have never en-
tertained. and the possibility of which |
cannot imagine. | believe that the inter
est and glory of the country essentially
depend upon the vigorou, maintenance and
! success Of the Union Republican party and
its continued control of the Government
for an indefinite term, and hence never ex-
poet to act with any other political organi-
cation as long as 1t exists"

The Eenians! The Fenians !!

| Well. says the reader, what of the Feni-
ans? That is just the question that has
been asked for months. and yet no one
would tell. if he knew, can tell any thing
of the order or association. There is a
vague idea that the Irish of this country
have banded together and are concerning
measures to wrest Ireland from the posses
sion Of Great Britain. The idea seems
chimerical or visionary. How can the
thing be accomplished? Who will do it:
If the Irish of this country desired to ac-
complish such work, have they the means
and the material to do it? 1t does not
seem possible. Ireland lies on the other
side of the Atlantic. some three thousand
miles distant, and this wide space must be
traverscd before the redemption of that
land can Recommended. This necessitates
the possession of an immense number of
transports, and the possession of an
abundance of the sinews of war. money.
1t may be, however, that privateering is
to be carried on extensively, and that the
leaders in the movement are expecting TO
receive the same moral and material aid
from the L. s.. that was extended to the
rebels by the British Government. How
ever, this is all conjecture. as no one knows
what is being done secretly, or what is
expected to come Of the movement, except
the initiated. By the extraordinary excite
ment of late, all over the country, it would
seem that these banded men are on the
eve of some grand movement. The news
papers are full of accounts of meetings all
over the country. \ monster mass meet
ing was held in New York at which it is
reported that one hundred thousand peo-
pie attended. The meeting was held at
Jones' Woods.
Whether this movement results in any
great outbreak or not, it has caused the
shedding of a great deal of ink. and
created any amount of speculation. If it
shall turn out to be only game of some
sharpers to raise funds for their own use,
it will be one Of the wickedest and most
successful cheats ever practiced on a con-
fiding people. If on the other hand some
thing is attempted which is so wild and
visionary as to be beyond the bounds of
hope or reason, then its result will be dis
astrious to those Immediately engaged. and
injurious to all the Irish.

81 saw, then, when Won have yielde

~ say, then. when yon have yielded
TO tia law, when you acknowledge your
allegiance to the government, am ready
TO open the doors of the Union and restore
you TO your old relations TO the government
of our fathers. Let them repent, and let
them acknowledge their allegiance. Let
them become loyal and willing supporters
and defenders Of our glorious stripes and
stars. and the constitution Of our country"
Il Extract Of President Johnson's Speech.
No Union man, even of the most ardent
stripe can object to the conditions of ac-
ceptanee announced by the President in
the above paragraph. We never shall re-
store the States lately in rebellion if we
impose harder terms than those laid down
in the above extract; and what more can
any reasonable man desire? Shall not
men be forgiven on repentance? Shall not
people who have been in the wrong, if they
hasten to retrace their steps, be allowed to
become reoonciled to the government
against which they have offe nded? This
mind you, Jas the President says after yield
ing to the law But, we apprehend, that
the only difference between the President
and Congress OH this point is, who is to de-
eide when men are loyal, and when they
are willing supporters of the govern
ment. Let the same good sense character
izefhe settlement OF this point that reason
able men exercise in settling any matter OF
business.

| ~ On Thursday morning last week,
Committee from Baltimore waited ON the
President to presen. resolutions which
were adopted at public meeting held in
that citv, Feb. Goth. Mr.. Cox was the
spokesman. and he cornplimented the
President. in the name of the meeting, for
the stand he had taken &c. &c.
The President having received the re-
solutions, replied in these words
"Gentlemen,-I cannot make any speech
in reply. but in response to what has been
said will simply remark that my policy,
to which you have alluded is before the
country, was net announced as the result
of impulse. nor was it thrown out for any
ad captdndun purpose. 1t was announe-
| cd as tie result of conviction, of mature
consideration. as necessary constituent
of the principles upon which this govern
mcnt rests. That policy, which honestly
regard as being the best for the country,
will continue before the people without
the slightest deviation, and without being
swcrved from OH my part. l do not say
this in a spirit of menace. or threat to any
body, but simply to give assurance that
! there will be no abandonment. of, aud no
shrinking from that policy, because be-

ty of the government depend upon the
maintenance of the principles which have
thus been enunciatcd. am no. insensihle

accompanying the presentation OF these
resolutions. The mind aud soul OF man

and l think know how to appreciate it ;
and so feeling. | am impressed with the
conviction that my duty iuust be performed
without regard TO consequences. Your
encouragement, at this particular time.
seems particularly appropriate. Your
countsnance and proffers of support under
the present circumstances inspire me with
a confidence and a strength and hope
that The country will ultimately triumph
and those great principles will be sustain
ed. 1t is not necessary for me to remark
to you that | entered this contest at its
very incipiency, and have not deviated Il
single hairs breadth from the line Of
policy then laid down. I stand now
precisely on the same ground stood OH
in the Senate, on the 18th and 10Th days
of December, 1860. know that it has
been said, and no doubt by many designed

to power abandoned that party. that he
has "Tylerized" his administration. that
he has joined the eopperlcads. and things
Of that kind. These things have no in
fuencc upon me. They tail wholly to
