I see with no little astonishmept, be.

$50 called Democratic meeting, assembled
at Portland on the 21st Of July.
Why II is that the Register and Its hire.

here to tho truth and fact, Is a question !
shall not attempt TO defue-but onlyNgiVe
the readers oiyour valued paper a brief
account Of what did occur at Portland on
the above named day.
With all due Difference to the Hon.
ChAs, ]. Faulkner, and the able manner
In which he delivered his speech In de.
fenceufthe new Constitution, yet I'D te.
marks failed TO elicitthe applause OF the
meagre crowd oil spectators assembled on
the occasion, and the only cheering done
was Immediately around the speakers
stand by half dozen Of Mr.. Camden's
friends. ,... .....
The Register goes on TO state, that after
the adjournment Of the County Conven.
ton, the whole crowd proceeded to a
grove near by where seats and q stand
had been erected, and was organized into
Democratic mass meeting.
Curiosity led me 10 see the number Of
distinguished gentlemen Of the Camden
persuasion who composed this immense
County Convention the Register speaks Of.
Their number ! am confident would not
exCeeda dozen, and was composed Of
Mr. @ j. Faulkner, Mr. Il. g. Davis, Mr.
Camden, Martin, and, perhaps, Sereral
more.
Before the adjournment of said Tim.

the ladies and gentlemen rustlcating at
the Summit House, and citizens Of the
town, walked to the gToveit 10 hear Mr..
Faulkners speech and long waiting 1t

been busy harvesting, &C., by the Reqister.
A great many horses were hitched about
town, but they were not Camden steeds
nor were their riders. Altogether, there
were were probably one hundred and
twenty-five men, women and children
present at the speaking, and l can produce
The evidence Of Democratic gentlemen
that two.thirds of that number were
staunch Jacob men; and the sole object
that attracted them there was to hear the
accomplished gentleman and scholar, Mr..
Chas. ]. Faulkner.
Mr.. Camden's speech was pronounced
a tolerably tair schoolboy's effort; and as
for the rest, they only talked to the injury
Of themselves and their pet, MIR. Camden.
The procession at night numbered
lightly, say about fifty men and boys, and
nearly all Of these were Jacob supporters;
or at least one would suppose so from the
lhsty manner with which they yelled for
our distinguished Governor. The above
arc simple facts, hastily noted !, and Il
proof is desired will certainly furnish it.

Trial by Jury.
From the New York; ost)

From the New TorkPo
Trial by jury at the present day can
not be said TO be in a satisfactory condi.
ton. SO far every one Is agreed. But
the question is, what is the true remedy
The alternative generally proposed is the
remission Of all questions, both Of TACT
and law TO the court. There many OBJ.
jectlons 10 this solution Of the difficulty.
The history of English courts, of those Of
France, and of this city, shows that "in.
lluence" is quite as great a danger with,
judges as "bias" is with jurles, and that
corruption may invade the one as easily
as the other. What then is to be done
There is good reason for believing that
in some form or other trial by Jury has
prevailed since the dawn othistory among
the leading nations ofths ArySn race,
and this TACT of itself would incline one
10 pause before recommending itsabroga.
ton, Besides this, 1t appears from an
examination Of the facts that the Rbuses
Of which we complain-the ignorance
and low character Of jurymen, and the
rule which requires unanimity in verdicts
are by no means necessary fruits of
this form of trial, but rather parasitic
growths which have twined themselves
about it, and become confused with the
parent trunk. -.....
In early times ENGLAND, instead of ex.
ieluding all jurymen Of knowledge and IN
telligence, it was the practice to. seek for
those who had some knowledge of the
case, greater reliance being placed ON, the
the impartiality, or we'll Uniformed men
than on the dociltty Of irresponsible fg-
norance. 1t was also, the practice to &C
cept the verdict of majority, ihstead Of
requiring .unanimitys I'VE must return to
these earlier and more sensible paths.
One step has already been taken in this
State in the passage Of o law to prevent
the exclusion from juries of oil who read
the newspapers, which was until lately
the practical effect Of the rule permitting
the challenge OF any one who had form.
ed an opinion" The first effect of this
law was seen in the Stokes Jury, OF
which it must be said, in fairness, that il
was more intellIgsnt.looking jury than
has been seen in any similar case here Tor
q long time. II, now, the unanimity rule
weregiyen up, and the right OF challenge
still further limited, we should probably
find that trial by jury was an institution
which might still prove the "bulwark to
all Of our liberties" In Scotland, where
tue administration Of justice is almost
perfect, unanimity is not required. A

A New Noise for tho BOYS.

(tFom the Ptt@bufgh Chropicle) ,3.AE.f
Those who did not know the infinite
variety OF boyhood's resources, fondly
imagined that the farthest DEPTHS Of
acoustic depraVity had been reached when
the boys drove good share Of the human
race distracted with those abominable
devils ROSTERS" But the boys them.
selves were never quite satisfied with that
achievement. Full justice could not be
done to the capacity Of the horrible In.
struments, because Juvenile thumbs wore
out too soon. The flesh was weak, and
the bone too easily reached. They felt
the necessity for something just as bad
and not quite so wearing, They have
met the necessity in new ,abominStion
that they call the "bassoon." We think
1t will satisfy the most exacting of them.
Maud would have been only too glad to
come into the garden, when her Tenny.

Relations of Church and State.

The New York Ndtionsthus sums up the
recent Supreme Court decision on this
subject:
The case of Watson VS.. Jenner, which
has just been decided in the Supreme
Court, for the first time authoritatively
settles the relations of the civil to the &C.
clesiastical tribunals of this country, and
is not without its bearing on the Cheney
case, in Chicago, two years ago. n Pres
byterian church in Louisville (Kentucky)
split during the war on the question of
slavery and emancipation, the majority
adhering to the Government and the pro-
clamation, holding the church, and receiv-
ing the approval of the ecclesiastical Gen
eral Assembly. On suit brought by the
malcOntents, the State court set aside the
decision of the General Assembly and put
the revolving officers and members in pos
session Some of the loyal members re-
siding in Indiana then carried the case in
to the Federal courts, and have now got
judgment in their favor. The Supreme
Court decides that where property is given
or left i'll trust for the promotion of any
particular doctrine or form of worship and
there is a dispnte over it between members
of the church or congregation, the Court
will take upon itself to decide which of
the two rival parties processes the faith for
the support of which the money was left !;
or, in other words, will assume the func-
tions discharged by the Judicial Commit
tee of the Privy Council in England in
like cases. But when there is no special
trust created by deed or will, and a like
dispute arises, the Court will treat the de-
cision of the highest ecclesiastical tribunal
of the denomination to which the cOngre-
CATION belongs as final and binding, and
will enforce it. In this case, the decision
of tho General assembly iS adODtpd bV the
Court. This would, we apprehend, dis
pose of Mr.. Cheney'S attempt to get the
civil courts to protect him against his bish-
