our national debt. am one of those who do
not believe that a national debt is a national
blessing, but rather curse to republic; in
asmuch as it is calculated to raise around the
administration a moneyed aristocracy danger
GUS to the liberties of the country.
This tariff mean a judicious one--pos-
sesses more fanciful than real dangers. l
will ask what is the real situation of the agri-
culturalist? Where has the American farmer
market for his surplus products? Except for
cotton he has neither a foreign or home mar
ket. Does not this clearly prove, when there
is no market either at home or abroad, that
there is too much.labor employed in agricul-
ture? and that the channels Of labor should
be multiplied? Common sense points out at
once the remedy. Draw from agriculture
the superintendent labor, employ it In mech
anism and manufactures, thereby creating
home market for your breadstufis, and distrib-
uting labor to a most profitable account, and
benefits to the country will result. Take
from agriculture in the United States six hum
dred thousand men, women and children, ana
you at once give a home market 4or more
breadstuffs than all Europe now furnishes us.
In short sir, we have been too long subject
to the policy of the British merchants. 1t is
time we should become little more ABaert-
eantzed, and instead of feeding the paupers
and laborers of Europe, feed our own, or else
in short time, by continuing our present pol
icy, we shall all be paupers ourselves.
1t is, therefore, my opinion that careful
tariff is much wanted to pay our national
debt, and afford us the means of that defense
within ourselves on which the safety and lib
erty of our country depend; and last, though
not least, give aproper distribution to our Ia
Dor, which must prove beneficial to the happi-
ness, independence, and wealth of the COM
munity.
This is short outline of my opinions, gen.
orally, on the subject of your inquiry, and
believing them correct and calculated to
further the prosperity and happiness of my
country, declare to you l would not barter
them for any Office or situation of a temporal
character that could be given me.
have presented you my opinions freely,
because am without conceament, and should
indeed despise myself if ! could believe my
self capable Of acquiring the confidence of
any by means SO ignobe."

BILE to comprehend our recent remarks in
relation to protection. we refer it to an
authority which perhaps it can understand

to DIR. Colman in 1924. 1t is as good

the manufacturer and miner, the elevation
of labor and decrease OF paupcrism, it

find an answer to all its valiant queries
to us in this letter, to which we respect
fully call its attention. In his letter Gen.
jackson says:

STATE OF MAINE.
General Order, No. 5.

General Order, No. 5. ...
The Governor learns with surprise and pain that
the recent visit of the "Capital Guards" to the
Portland Light Infantry" was made the occasion
of unworthy and disorderly behavior on the part of
some concerned. The brief space of his official
term remaining, forbids the commitment of the
matter to the slow process of regular military
tribunal, and compels summary notice from him.
The Capital Guards, on this visit, appeared in
their organized capacity. The occasion was not,
Indeed, one strictly of duty, but the company wore
the arms and uniform of the State, and were in
peculiar manner guardians Of her honor and good
name. Especially was it the dnty of the Captain
and Orderly Sergeant SO to bear themselves and so
to control and for their men, that no breach oil
discipline and iecorum would be committed. This
was responsibility they could not avoid, and the
neglect Of it was military and moral offence
which compels the expression of grave censure.
Only portion of the company was at fault, but the
good fame of the whole is furnished; and the limo.
cent members must not take it amiss.n along with
the Disgrace and as the only available means Of
recovery they have to suffer share OF the penalty
for the sake Of the good thereby to be accomplished
The "Capital Guards in accordance with the
spirit and intent of General Order, No. Series of
1862 are hereby placed probation, and their con-
tinuance in the service win be determined by their
future department as observed and reported by the
Inspector General.
1t appears that the refreshments furnished by the
Light Infantry to their guests were not altogether
of proper character, which renders that Company
responsible for portion Of the indecorum under
notice, and, In so far, deserving of reproof.
1t should be clearly understood by the companies
now composing our. effective military, that occa.
sions of parade or pastme do not warrant drunken
ness and disorder and that such shames will not
be tolerated. These companies should be schools
Of honor and manlness, and if they are to become
instruments to tempt young men to wrong and dis
grace they had better be stricken from the rolls of
the service.
Ills with sorrow thatth Governor makes his last
official communication with troops for which he has
taken such interest and pride, one of reprimand
and warning This may be more salutary, how
ever, than formal compliment.

TIE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE.


The message of Governor Perham is well
received by the press ofthe State, so far as
any opinion has been expressed. We copy
the following remarks from papers which
have come to hand.
(From the Portland P'ess.)
Gov. Perham's Address, which we present
herewith is document of moderate length,
and is almost entirely unencumbered by those
discussions of national politics and irrelevant
abstract themes that deform the productions
of the chief magistrates of some OF the States.
Good sense and good taste are the most
prominent characteristics of the Address, and
in the relatively unimportant matter of liter
airy style the Governor cannot fairly be made
the subject of disparaging criticism, even
when tried by so severe standard as that
OF his immediate predecessor. His sentences
lack something of the polish of Gen. Cham
berlain's, but they have all their vigor.
From the Portland Adreyttser.)
On the temperance question, the Governor
speaks plainly but not like zealot or bigot
as he has sometimes been represented. His
discussion Of the tariff question is, we should
say, out of place in an address to a body
which has no more to do with the regulation
of the tariff than the City Council of Portland
but we know of nothing to hinder Republic
can Governor from being or avowing himself
Protectionist or Free Trader, if ne choos-
es. Concerning the indignities offered to our
fishermen by the Canadians, the Governor
expresses himself with force and dignity, and
on the whole the address will be found to be
straightforward, sensible and satisfactory
document.
(From the Argus.) 70
is calm, clear, unpretentious, often even fe-
fictitious in the expression of the Governors
views. Its suggestions are generally of a
practical character, and many of them will
meet the appreciation of all.
(From the Bangor Wing and Courrer.)
We have time only to call attention to Gov.
Perham's address which we publish in full to-
day. 1t is well written and able State pa
per, and will be read with interest. We COM
mend its careful perusal and defer our COM
ments.
Editorial Correspondence of Legistom Jour
nal.)
The address is highly spoken Of by all who
have heard it, and warmly commended for its
sound common sense, and many practical
suggestions as to legislation which is needed,
1t is paper worthy to be classed by the side
of the almost incompatible messages of the
retiring Governor.
From the Bath Times.)
Gov. Perham's address to the Legislature
is received with very general favor
The views of the Governor on the question
of prohibition will find very general accep-
lance. He upholds the doctrine of prohibit
ton, and forbears-we are pleased to Sec
recommending the establishment of a state
police. The great body of the people of
Maine are satisfied with the law as it is, or at
any rate, that there is already suffciency of
more indeed than would be sustained a
single month, were it everywhere enforced
to the letter.

Because he don't live, you see;
Leastways, he's got out of the habit
Ofliyin' like You and me.
whar have you been for the last three year
That you haven't heard folks tell
How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks,
The night of the Prairie BELIEF
He were MT no saint-them engineers
Is all pretty much alike
One wife in Natchez, under-the-Hill
And another one here, in Pike. t.r
A keerless man in his talk was Jim,
And an awkard man in a row
But he never iunked, and he never lied,
reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had
To treat his engine well; ......
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the Pilots bell;
And fever the Prairie Belle took fire
A thousand times he swore,
He'd hold her nozzle agin the bank
TIL the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Missssip,
And her day come at last
The Moyastar was better boat,
But the Belle she wouldn't be passed
And SO she come tearin' along that night
The oldest craft on the line,
With niger squat on her safety valve
And her furnace crammed, rosin and pine.
The fire bust out as she clared the bar,
And burnt hole in the night,
And quick as a fash she turned and made
For MAJ wilIer-bank on the right.
There was running and cursing but Jim yelled
out,
Over all the Internal roar,
an hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoots ashore
Through the hot, black breath ofthc burnin' boat
Jim Bludsos voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness
And knowed he would keep his word.
And sure's you're born, they all got on
Afore the smokestacks fell
And Bludsos ghost went up alone
In the smoke Of the Prairie Belle.
lie weren't no saint-but at Judgment
I'd run my chance with Jim,
Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn't shook hands with him.

And went for it thar and then
And Christ amt goin' to be hard
On man that died for men. III,
