On Monday next our citizens are called upon
to pay their tribute CT love and respect to the
memory of the brave men who SO valiantly
fell at the post of duty. Whether they laid
down their lives sturdily contrasting the ad-
vance of the foes to liberty and equality on the
field of battle, or whether they died of linger-
ing camp fevers, or from wounds received in
the fierce struggle after months suffering, they
all gave up their lives in the noblest cause for
which man can die, and it is, therefore, pecul-
iarly appropriate that day should be set apart
for the especial purpose of honoring their
graves. There is no sight more touching than
on the anniversary of the death of Napoleon
to see the old soldiers of the Grand Army, a
mere handful in number, with tottering limbs
and palsied hands, decked in the uniforms that
were for so long a terror to Europe and which
are daguerreotypel on the!minds of all who are
familiar with history, emerge from their quar-
tiers in the Hotel des Lnvalides, and proceed to
the tomb of their beloved commander to lay
upon his coffin their wreaths of imm ortalles.
IT, then, SO deep is the love of these soldiers for
man whose sole motive was ambition, and so
great the feelings of respect shown for these
veterans by their countrymen that they are ac-
commodated in one of the most costly edifice
that money could erect, and nevec allowed TO
want for anything, what affection should be
ours and what should be the tribute paid by
US to the men who fought not for any one man {
personal aggrandizement, or even for the az.
grandizement of country, but who were inspir
ed with the pure spirit of patriotism, and Tough
to the bitter end only that their county nigh
live Nd traa hn cd
1t is therefore with feelings of intense salts
faction that we see each year the increased
efforts made on ali sides to observe the day
with due honor, and place Memorial day on
par with the celebration of the Declaration o
Independence.

FACTS vs.. PooR.-Mr. Editor AT the anti
consolidation meeting on Wednesday evening,
MIR. John A. Poor remarked that be derived
the first information seemingly by authority
from the Boston Journal, whose Portland COR
respondent held intimate relations with a gen.
tieman prominent in consolidation. Ii Mr.
Poor meant anything, it was to insinuate that
a breach of faith had been committed by
the gentleman above alluded TO- in premature
ly giving facts bout the contract, and that the
said correspondent obtained his information
from that source. Now many months ago and
repeatedly since and again several days ago, 1
distinctly stated to Mr.. Poor that l never con-
suited the gentleman alluded to on any mat
tiers whatever since my residence here, and
that L obtoined information elsewhere for
proper reasons. He endeavored to find out
where L ascertained about matters, but de
Glued to tell him, and hence the sly attack by
way OF compliment for apparent enterprise.
The remark therefore on Wednesday evening
was unjust and uncalled for. This much in
justice to the party brought into the discus
sion. Sidney
