"CoMg HoMR."-The following parody
ON that fayorite song "Father, Come
Home" is a decided hit at the extrava-
gance practiced by fashionable young
ladies, and is a good illustration Of the
means used by them to coax STAMPS"
from the told man" Like the original,
1t is entitled
FATHER COME DOWN.
Oh, father, dear father come down with the
stamps,
My dressmaker's bill is unpaid
She said she would send IL right home f,om the
shop,
AZ soon as the Hounces were made.
My new dress from Stewards is down in the
hall,
The boy viii not leave withoutp pay
I've nothing to sport with--can't go to he ball,
So please send the shOp-boy away.
Come down Come down Come down
Please father, dear father, come down,
Oh, hear the sweet voice of thy child
Who cries In her room all alone,
Oh, who could resist her most pitifl tears,
So father, with stamps you'll comedOwn.
Oh, father, dear father come down with the
stamps,
My curls are not 1T TO be seen
The hair-dresser said he would not dothem up,
Unless | could pay him fifteen
He only asked twenty to give a new sd,
And take the old hair In exchange
Besides pa, my waterfalls awful rough,
And so my back hair will look straIEe
Come down Come down Come down
Please father, for Braiteau come down!
Oh, hear the sweet voice of thy Child, &c.

THE WORLD MovEs.-Since the days of
Calico, there has been no more striking Illus
tration of the grand movement which pervades
the world, physical and moral, than the follow
ing passage, dpropos to the authentic contra
diction ofthe report that Gen. Tillson had
suppressed the Loyal Georgian. 1t is the ar
gus, wonderful to relate, which says
We are glad that it is so. A negro has just
as good right to publishG paper and speak
his mind, subject to the Idtr, as tohite man,
and we should regret, il so judicious an officer
as General Tilson has shown himself to be,
had committed the great error of interfering
with the freedom of the press.
What an immense advance, from the Demo
cratic dogma, that a negro has mo rights
when the white man is bound to respect" to
this admissioni
For the rest, Capt. J. E. Bryant, is not a ne
gro, as the argus supposes, but Maine man,
hailing from Fayette. He is not the editor OF
the Loyal Georgian. The circumstances of
his arrest are not yet fully before the public;
but the intimation that he is guilty of defraud-
ing the freedmen is colmterbalanced by the
fact that his bail was furnished by the colored
men for whose benefit and instruction the
Loyal Georgian, edited by colored minister,
was published.
The Portland daily press., 1866-06-20

who has never had days experience in po-
litical affairs? Let us not be deluded by
brilliant military services, into the folly of
placing the vital political issues of the day
in the hands of untried and uncertain men,
What General has more brilliant military
record than Sherman2 And what political
honor would the people have withheld from
him, had he been candidate prior to the sur
render of Johnston? Gen. Cox was taken
for Governor of Ohio, upon his military repu-
tation, and so far as the Executive department
it concerned, that great State with its Repub-
lican majority is in the hands of the President
and the Copperheads to day. General Slocm
of New York, had a good political record be-
fore the war and he added to it distinguished
military services; and yet to crafty his am
bition he turned his back upon his party, was
run upon his record as a soldier and beaten.
We do not say that General Chamberlain,
ifnominated by the Republican party, would
disappoint the expectations of his friends, and
place our State in any doubtful position upon
the great questions of the day. But we do
say that we have no assurance from his polit-
ical antecedents, that he would not. The fact
that the Bangor Tsmes,-the only johnson pa
per in the State since the Kennebec Journal
has padded back to its party-supports him
and that every Copperhead paper in the State
has opened its batteries of abuse upon his
competitor, should lead us to exercise caution.
If it were ever good policy to take candi-
date solely on the ground of availability, there
is no necessity for doing so in our State, Meth
er does experience in other States show that
anything is to be gained by such course.
Gen. Hawley, a radical Republican, ran be-
hind his ticket and came near being defeated.
He had good military record, but it did not
avail him. The issues were political, and were
decided as such. So will it be with the com
ing campaign here. Let us be prepared for it,
and with candidate fitted to bear and an
swer its responsibilities and requirements, we
shall win victory that will not prove fruit
less. And such candidate we hope the Con-
vention at Bangor will give us in the Hon. s..

Mr.. Pike and League Island.

We are indebted to the Hon. John Lynch
for letter which appears in another column,
explaining the course of Mr.. Pike, of the Fifth
Congressional District of Maine, respect
ing the bill accepting the title to League
island. 1t lis unnecessary to say, that we have
had no disposition to misrepresent Mr.. Pike in
this matter. The text of the bill was published
together with our comments, and his speech laid
before our readers as soon as it came to hand.
The fact that the bill came up during Mr..
Lynch's absence, and the significant circum-
stance that League Island had been particu-
larry recommended for "a fresh-water basin for
iron ships" pointed (under the circumstances
to a conclusion which we were unwilling to
admit, and which we are very glad to have Mr..
Lynch's authority for rejecting. Mr.. Lynch,
1t will be seen, does not regard the passage Of
the bill as committing the Government to the
project of making League Island an exclusive
depot for iron-clads

To the Editor OF the Press:
You did injustice, Internationally no doubt,
to Hon T. A PIKE in your comments upon
his speech and vote in favor of accepting from
the city of Philadelphia title to League Is
land. Had been present should have voted
with him in favor OF the bill, as 1 have no
doubt he will vote with me against making
League Island the exclusive depot for Iron
clads, if that proposition is presented to the
House. He does not regard the passage of the
bill accepting the title to League Island as
committing the Government to the project of
establishing great naval depot at that place !;
neither do l.. Mr.. Pike used his influence for
the passage of the resolution ordering an ex-
animation of the site at Portland, and have
no doubt will do the same for its acceptance
by the Government, if the Commissioners re-
port favorably upon it, Yours truly,
