RECOGNITION OF GoD IN THE CoNsTITU-
TIoN.-We have received from Philadelphia
tract on the subject of sour national obliga-
tion to acknowledge God in the constitution
of the United States" by j. H. McIlvaine,
with request to publish the same. The grav-
ity of the subject demands it's respectful con-
sideration, but nothing else could save the
whole matter from being regarded as a jest,
An amendment to the const tuition such as is
suggested by Prof. McIlvaine and his associ-
ates would be like placing in the organic law
of the country declaration that the sun rises
in the East and sets IN the West. 1t seems
to u.s. too, that God is recognized in the cons IT,
tuition of the United States in the only appro-
pirate manner That instrument, constituting
the fundamen ntal law of a Republic is based
on those great princi Piles of fjustice and equali-
ty which are identical with the precepts of the
Christian religion. 1t distinctly recognizes
and gives practical effect to that cardinal
doctrine of Christianity that all men alike are
entitled to just and benevolent treatment.
There are limitations, of course, to the efficien-
cy of provisions of the constitution that are
intended especially to secure all men in their
rlSutS, uuG GHey are tue SAME llHlltaGlOnS tnat
are common to all the works of man. The
proposed amendment could not do any harm
and certainly could no no good. There is an
other amendment already pending, practical
in its character, which has it for its object to
render our institutions still further in har.
mony with truth and righteousness. If Prof
McIlvaine would devote his attention to se-
curinp its adontion instead of demandinp the
incorporation of a superfaous declaration in
the constitution, it seems to us his labor
would be better bestowed.

TRADE WITH EASTERN MAINE.-The Ma
chias Union invites the attention of the trad
ers of Eastern Maine to the advantages offer
ed by their improved communication with
Portland, as follows:
Within two years trade between Eastern
Maine and Portland has increased very large
Iy. 1t is due to the enterprise of the Portland
merchants that Maine retailers examine their
goods learn prices and make business ac-
quaintance.
The City of Richmond affords means of di-
rect communication with Portland. The saw
ing of time, the retention of capital used in
trade ir our own State. thereby adding to the
real estate and taxable property are induce
ments to trade at Portland, provided prices
and terms are as favorable to the buyer.
Portland merchants do not expect trade un.
less they sell at as low prices and on as favora-
BILE terms are available in other markets
1t is decidedly for the interest of retailer and
! iobber in Maine to have fair understanding
as to what Portland can do. One advantage
of trading at Portlsnd is that orders can b.
filled oftener and quicker, better assortment
| can be kept in the retail stores, the good
newer, latest and best, besides less capital ca1
be made to do larger and more profitable
| trade

IIIE NAPoLEoNIC PAMPHLET.--The much
talked-of Napoleonic pamphlet has at last ap-
peared. The object OF the writer, whoever he
may be, is to establish beyond question the
superior right of the Napoleon family to reign
in France, over that of any other house, bv
reason of the votes given for Napoleon |. as
Emperor, and those which his nephew obtain
ed, first as Representative to the people to the
Constituent Assembly, then as President OF
the kepublic, and lastly as candidate to the
Imperial throne which he now fills. The char
ac'er of the popular origin of both Sovereigns
is dWelt upon III an introduction traced, We
are told, by an august hand accustomed to
literary composition. The Plebiscites which
founded the Empire, the manifestations of
universal suffrage, ami the Constitution of
1852, with the amendments introduced into it,
and other documents complete this publca-
ton, which, it is affirmed, has no other object
than to exhibit within short compass the
glorious phases which the Napoleonic dynasty
S nas passed through. 1t terminates with some
fairs. '''''' "

The Great Republican Triumph in RhcSe
island.

The Providence journal sums up the results
Of the election of Wednesday as follows:
Gen. Burnside our esteemed Governor, is
reelected by a large majority, according to
our figures, of 4309, which is 70 larger than his
official majority last year, and which is likely
to be increased by from 80 to 100 by returns
from our far-off island town. The remainder
of the State ticket is elected by about the
same vote. This result is not only highly graf
flying to the Governors wide circle Of person.
al and poiItIcaf friends, and to all friends of
the well-beins and good order of the State,
but it is moreover word of hearty cheer to
our friends in Connecticut, who are about to
redeem their State from the disgrace into
which it fell last year, and place it in line and
full fellowship with her sisters of New Eng
land.
The General Assembly will stand politically
about the same as last year. There are not
Democrats enough in either branch to form a
party, and those who are elected are not gem
orally of very mischievous kind. An unu-
sual proportion of the Assemblymen are new
members, some of whom, however, have had
previous legislative experience. There are in.
dications that the body will possess quite the
usual degree Of character and ability In two
or three towns there was no choice of Senator
or Representative.

ON THE OF HER SIDE.
by a. A. HOPKINS.

We go our ways in life too much alono
we hold ourselves too far from all our
kind
TOO often arc We deaf to sigh and moan
Too often TO the weak and helpless blind !;
TOO often, where distress and want abide,
" { turn and pass upon the other side.
The other side is ro,lcn smooth and worn
By footsteps passing idly all the day;
Where liz tho bruised ones who faint and
mourn
Is seldom more than an untrolden Way.
oar selfish hearts arc for our feet to guiic ::
They lead us by upon tho other side.
1t should bc ours the oil and vino to pour
into the bleeding wounds ofstricken ones
To take tho smittcn, and the sick and sore,
And bear them where q stream of bless
ing runs
Instead, we look about way is wido,
And 50 We pass upon the other side.
0, friends aud brothers, gliding down the
years,
humanity is calling cach and all
III tender accents, born ofgricI and tears
pray you listen to the thrilling call
You cnnno,. in your scliishncss and pride,
Pass .ui!tlcss hy upon the other side.
