The Union Congressional Republican Com
mittee is composed of members representing
every State which sends a Republican TO Con-
gress-that is, every Northern State except
Delaware A Committee constituted nee
essariy represents the various shades oil local
feeling which are likely to color tie poicy OF
the party. So far as any body oil men can be
this Committee is qualified to declare the in
tentions of the dominant party in Congress.
Yet Yesterdays Argus sets the authority of
Tbaddeus Stevens against the declarations of
the Committee in their recent Address to the
the People of the South"-as if any one man
could speak for a deliberativc body as fairly as
representative committee! The Argus speaks
of the policy of the Republican majority as
moulded by Stevens, and Butler and Ashley"
when the military bill was only carried by
Democratic votes, the confiscation bill
fell dead, and the judiciary Committee of
the House has just decided against the I'M
parchment projectl Such asse, tons need no
combination. -sf
The policy of the party, as declared py the
Committee, has already been presented 10 our
readers. The Committee, Invite and implore
the people of the South, first to accept the plan
of universal suffrage" Secondly, they "urge
the people of the South to direct their efforts
to the establishment and maintenance of
system of public schools" Finally, they say,
"public policy should stimulate the laboring
people to become landholders." They further
more express the opinion that the privilege of
obtaining home, is a scommon human right
which cannot be denied with safety to society,"

From the editorial correspondence of the
st. Stephens Courier, under date of May Goth,
we learn that there is a good prospect Of the
New Brunswick government giving grant to
the Houlton Branch Railway as far as the
boundary line. The writer says: ut is not i'm
probable that an appropriation of $1,000 per
mile will be made for this purpOsd. 1t IS
most important work, and will be great BEN
eft to the western section of the Province
With this subsidy, company can no doubt be
found to build to the boundary to which point
the Houlton people will construct their end OF
the line"
Tho season in Aroostook county is very
backward. The Houlton Times says that though
May is gone many fields are not yet in a con-
dition to be worked. With the best of wealth
er and the greatest industry, it will be difficult
to put in all the seed that was intended The
prospect is not very flattering now, but still
the season may continue late enough in the
fall to ripen the late crops. III sa ~ ~ ~ >

1 the Editor Of the Press - .aci1.a .
q The delegation of Volunteers from Portland,
arrived in this city square up to time, if not
little before. The Boston s. Maine cars brought
us safely and smoothly to the Hub" where
some of us find excellent accommodations at
the Old fremont and others go to the Revere.
After ALL the fremont House, like the Astor
in New York, has a more substantial look than
the public houses that have recently been
built, and the fare is as substantial as the
architecture. There is no gingerbread work.

and the .Astor. When they were erected
years ago they were ahead of the times, and
don't think they are great way behind, now.
like solid architecture much better than ell
igree" work, such as prevails too much at
the present day. But let that pass. 1H-
a The Volunteers are in high spirits and have
commenced in earnest to have good time
and they will have it if nothing breaks Now
when / speak of them as being in high spirits
Il am very far from alluding to any spirits that
men take to steal away their brains, for all of
them who voted on the samendment" yester-
day in your city, threw into the baIlot-box
m But your readers may ask why are these
gentlemen whose names you published yester-
day on such a tramp? Well the question is a
proper one, and in some other communication
L will endeayor to answer it more fully than
can now. This morning they take the cars at
the Lowell depot for New Hampshire, Yer
mont and Northern New York for the purpose
of forming an acquaintance with the inhabit-
ants of those regions, and of looking at the
LAY of the land,' of surveying the different
railroad routes, and of ascertaining the best
way of connecting Portland by rail with New
Hampshire, Vermont and the Great West
They will return overland" land mean by
that, riding on a stage coach instead of on a
rail- across Northern Vermont, New Hamp-
shire and through the Notch of the White
Mountains. When nature rended those old
mountains and made the NOTCH she intended
it as an avenue to the Atlantic ocean for those
who might settle west of it. A mighty host
have made their homes west of it. and now
seek for the shortest and the quickest passage
to the shores of the sea; and ere long they
will Set it, and Portland will receive an inn
pulse that will send her ahead. More at the
