SADLY DEMoRALIzED.-That disappointed
people should snarl and spit at some one is as
natural as it is TO breathe. The Copperheads,
terribly defeated and ehagrined-are looking
out of their hiding-places and throwing dirt
at the passers by. This is to be expected.
We beg of people to treat them leniently.
We can afford to be very generous. The polit-
ical castigation they have received would "try
the patience of job" Let no one be so thought
less as to give them the advice given to Job of
old, Ito curse God and die"-for fear they
would do it! We desire them rather to turn
from the error of their ways and live. ssia
When, therefore, in the impotence of their
rige, they slash away at us, we are inclined to
say with "my Uncle Toby poor devils let
them go the world is wide enough for them
and those they abuse. 7a"Ha a-.ii
% 1t is in this spirit that we read the vulgar
and false communication, in the Argus of Fri
day, signed Rockets The rage that con-
sumes is apparent in every line of it. Does
anybody believe,-did the " ritter expect any
body to believe this vile assertion, which we
copy as a specimen of the malice of the whole
article: - i- .a ..aaa air.
will say that this communication is written
by one whose tallow candles were not long
d enough to burn for procession to pass, that
halted an hour ouer e0eTy Chiskey barrel that
made its appearance. 1853 '~' ''' @ai .rs.
The reader will observe that this remark is
made of the grand procession of Tuesday even
ing last! Composed of the flower of our young
men, whose noble bearing was the admiration
ofall except those devoured by Spleen
The assertion of this base slanderer is that
they tarried by the hour over the whiskey bar
rell The lbeller says he belongs to the Re-
publican and temperance parties! Why does
he not say that he is a deacon of an Orthodox
church-or missionary to Africa! We have
to say, that boast as he may of his position he
is afraid to attach his name to his dirty libel
on a thousand of our citizens! And we saw
further that if by chance it should prove true,
that by some cheating he has wormed himself
into the worthy parties named, the quicker
they jointly and severally kick him out of
those organizations the quicker he will get
portion of his deserts O@Rockets" you have
gone up in fash, but you have come down
like very mean stick! aaf -,-a.

Mr.. Mark NASH who lives at Simmons
Poiut, Harpswell, Great Island, has what Mr.
Matilini would call "a dem'd savage lamb''
For some time Mr.. N. has been annoyed byla
bald headed eagle which kept flying round his
farm, evidently on mischief intent. One day,
recently, after the eagle had been seen flying
near, Mr.. Nash going among his sheep found a
bald-headed eagle lying dead near one of his
sheep, which was badly wounded about the
head and neck The sheep had twin lambs,
and both of these had wounds upon them. The
old sheep was in. such a condition that Mr.. N,
dressed her wounds, binding them up careful
ly. 1t is supposed that the eagle attempted to
steal one or both of the lambs and that the
mother defended them. Hew she succeeded
in killing the bird is matter of conjecture.
