Mr.. EDIToR,-After SO long time the Ar
gus backs squarely out and confesses that Nal
ly was not dismissed from work because he
voted the Democratic ticket. SO far so good.
And if this journal would back down and
frankly and honestly confess it has told many
other prodigious whoppers, we should indulge
some hope of its final reformation and of its
atonement for those sins which have so easily
beset it for more than half century, and
which have fastened upon it certain sobriquet
long familiar to the public.
But the Argus does not stop here and ask if
the Press condemns as it processes to do, the
discharge of laborers for such cause? Such a
question from such source is we'll calculated
to raise smile. That journal knows very
that ever since Jackson's day it has advocated
Marcy's doctrine that "to the victor belong
the spoils." And when we hear its frank con-
demnation of the removal of those MANNED
soldiers at Kittery by Daddy Welles, we shall
begin to think it has some right to catechise
others. Our deliberate opinion is that it
authority to remove the beam from its own
eyes before it can reasonably expect TO see
notes in the eyes of others. Mr. Argus, you
have taken one step in the right direction and
we advise you to keep stepping in the same
course. And although the way may be very
long, yet by perseverance you may yet reach
the end where you will find complete atone
ment for those sins which have so long chung
to the skirts of your garments.

The Great Event of Onr Age.

To the Editor of the Press:
w lille the rapid progress towards compile
ton of the railroad from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, will ere long fol m an epoch in the bust
ness enterprise, both of our country, and the
word,-the simultaneous opening of China
with its one-third population of the earth) to
the united effort of the diplomatist and the
missionary, already constitutes the great moral
era of our country and the world.
That the government of population so
boundless in extent, and by necessity so des-
potir, as that OF China, should at the same mo-
ment have yielded its prejudices as to specie
accumulation, to the open, mutual merchan-
disc traffic of the world, is of itself mighty
revolution; but that coincident with this, in
spirit and in date, complete religious tolerance
to the Christian faith should be established
throughout the empire, and sort of virtual
preference be given it, by the appoin tment of
Christian, of a foreign nation, then resident
minister to the government from nation at
its antipodes, to represent that government to
America and to Europe, is at once an event of
worldwide significance-and to our country,
especially, more enobling to say the least, than
has occurred since our Declaration of indie
pendence, and suggests to the rejecting mind !:
First, the Savior's command, $50 ye into all
the world, and preach the gospel to every crea-
ture;" and also the prophecy-"Many shall run
to and fro, ard knowledge shall be increased"
But we have more than one step further to
tske in our notice of this event, before we
reach the climax of our wonder.
That the election of Mr.. Burlingame our
Minister to China should have been made, in
stead of a Minister from Europe, is, of itself a
wonder; but that the Ministers from the Eu-
ropean nations should make no objection, mag
mites the wonder. But in moral point OF
view, we do not reach the climax till we refer
to Mr.. Buringame's refusal of half the offered
salary. What lesson to the individuals who
form the aggregate of foreign governments, but
more especially to those who constitute our
own!
And now that we leave the subj ect as one of
moral and religious interest, let us glance at
it as one Of secular and business prosperity
the opening wide in all directions the chan
nels of trade between China and the world at
large, is great advance in promoting the de-
sired intercourse of nations-and when both in
Europe and America, we contemplate in con-
nec.ion with this, the present advanced and
advancing state of the arts and sciences and
literature, we can hardly be too sanguine in
expectation of results in the future. H. G.

be interesting and add to agricultural and me-
chanical knowledge, will not fail to have them

The Young Mems Christian Association Of
this city are preparing for an active fall and
winter campaign, and we heartily wish for
them the largest measure Of success which the
most earnest worker among them can desire.
In addition to the home course Of lectures
and essays, they propose to invite the ministers
of the several churches to deliver Sabbath
evening sermons, at the City Hall and in the
churches for the benefit of those who do not
regularly attend public worship. Arrange.
ments have already been made for such services
on next Sabbath evening.
The time of the daily prayer meeting has
been changed, being now held from IL to 9
o'clock in the morning, instead of at noon as
heretofore. The Wednesday and Saturday
evening prayer meetings, which have been
held in the Board of Managers room will be
held hereafter in the hall, the small room not
being large enough to contain or ssat comfort
ably all who attend.
This Association, through its agent and &C.
tive members, has been doing good work on
Great Chebeague Island, resulting in the bap-
tism of twenty persons last Sabbath, and about
the same number are now waiting the first OPP
portunity to follow their example.
Notwithstanding the political excitement Of
the last few weeks, the interest and zeal of the
members of the Association continue unabat-
ed, and it is earnestly hoped that their labors
may be abundantly blessed.

JOHN A. DIX.
The Reign of Terror-s Word to Irish
GItIZeMs.


The attempt to coeree and deceive the Irish
population in this country, into opposition to
the principles of the Republican party has
been carried to an alarming extent and il
will undoubtedly continue until the great
question of the hour is settled in November.
The Irish Republic, valiant defender of true
political principles and a faithful friend of
I"ishmen, speaks thus in its issue of Satur-
day:
From various parts of the country we are in
receipt of letters from men who have taken a
leading part in the organization of Irish Re-
publican clubs, stating that they are in con-
slant fear of being violently dealt with by
their conntrymen tor daring to use the rights
which this Republic guarantees to all her cit
liens, viz: to speak their political sentiments
freely and openly, and to give their political
support to that party which to them seems
The Northern American Democrats, with
some dishonorable eptions-whiIe they may
allow these dlsturberS to go unrebuked at pres
ent-can feel nothing but the loathing of free
men for their miserable allies. When the heat
of the political contest is over, and the Amer
lean people begin to think nationally, they NAV
consider it necessary to unite against this ele-
ment that requires only strength enough to
override all law and order in the land. These
men, forgetting the rights of freemen, burst
INTO puOhc meetings IN organized mObS and
trample the rights of their own countrymen
beneath their feet. When they show so little
respect for their brothers rights, can it be ex-
pected that they would regard the rights of
other nationalities did their numbers Justify
them in putting their intolerance into force?
We say, then, to the man who through fear
or policy, waivers in his duty to this mighty
Republic. in this her hour of danger, "The
fate of your own race depends on your &C.
ton" The simple question is, the Constitu-
tion and the sentiment of this Republic guar
antee us certain rights; and if we are not will
ing to maintain those rights at all hazards, no
law can make us free.

GUMLoTNED.-J. Horace Kent, ESQ.,, OF
this city, has been notified that his services as
Special Agent of the Treasury Department
are no longer required. Horace is too loyal to
suit the small-minded creatures who for a
age, aud being soldier. withal, has been Sc
lected as a prominent mark for rebel sharp
shooters. This is evident, as Mr.. K has let
lers of commentator from his superiors. His
suspension is an injury to the public welfare,
for it is through bis means that the circuit In
which he operated has been purged so thor
ougLly of counterfeit money, and the business
men of this community will regret the change
for this reason.
