To the Editor of the Press:
Feeling profound interest, in the welfare,
growth, and prosperity of my native State.
allow me to call your attention to the preser-
walton of the forests of Maine. The wide
portant subject will receive the grave delibera-
tions of the legislative bodies of our sister
states. Maine. with its superior advantages,
and valuable resources, in quite. all branches of
business, should not for moluent neglect any
thing that may tend toward her growth, and
agricultural prosperity She is now becoming
the central attraction of landscape scenery,
invit ing vast and increasing summer excur
sionists. Beauty in nature here is combined
with grandeur during the summer months.

Nothing can be said to be of greater impor-
tanee in my native State, than the economy
and preservation of our valuable white pine
forests not only for present wants, but to pre-
vent the physical causes and effects on man
and animals in this latitude
We trust that active zeal VIII be manifested
by our citizens of Portland, and every inhab-
liant of the State in this great work. That a
committee will be appointed to confer with the
Governor, Council and Legislature, to devise
means in stopping the ravages on the forest
lands of this State To preserve tho primary
and secondary growth of our useful forest trees,
from waste, axe and fire. Farther, to pro-
mote the culture OF forests, and profusely
decorate every farm and hamlet with useful

Desperate Resort.

Horatio Seymour said few years since
that short crop in the West OK disaster in
business that would stop the factories and
workshops of the country, would insure the
restoration of the Democratic party to power.
In other words, the people under the desper-
alton of starvation would madly rush as re-
cruits to the Democratic party. To-day sew
eral of the leading Democratic papers seem to
be acting in accordance with ex-Gov Sey-
mour's declaration. They deplore the panic
and its consequences in style that gives the
reader to understand that they would really
be pleased to see the worst that any compli-
cation of business disasters could effect, and
indirectly do all they can to eXaggerate the
present difficulties and infuse feeling of dis
trust throughout the country. Some of them
that are less scrupulous, seek to fan into a
blaze every spark of discomfort, to condemn
those who are attempting to bring about a
better state of things, to predict that tn e
worst has not come, that graspng factory
owners are willing to send want and woe to
thousands of households, with the purpose, if
possible, to raise whirlwind that shall sweep
the country and lay business and industry in
ruin.
Having accomplished widespread ruin and
class uissensions among the people, they hope
to make the exasperated masses believe that
the Republican Administration is responsible
for the consequent disaster and suffering.
They are preparing the public mind for it
now by closing their dreary and over drawn
pictures of suffering, with phinipics against
the Administration and charging it with be-
ing the cause The suspension of every fac
tory is connected with Gen. Grant; the sus-
pension of every banking firm is by some
means connected with the Secretary of the
Treasury; the extortionate demands of every
railroad company acting under State char
tiers, are, by some logic known only to
Democratic journalism, attributed to the
present Administration.
This disreputable course is not new. Dur
ing the late war, these same journals never
tired of dolorous croakings and dreful proph-
esy. They belittled federal successes and
magnfed those Of the country's enemy.
These journals did not pursue this course so
much because they were in sympathy with
the rebels as because they saw in repeated
defeats and disaster the overthrow of the Re-
publican party and the restoration of their
leaders to power.
Then they put party success over patriot
ism and devotion to country. Now they are
willing to bring widespread suffering and dis
tress, to cripple the business and industries
of the country for years in order that they
may become political victor9 and reap the
spoils of success.
