The War Spirit Revived in Congress

All candid men must regret the spirit
which came to the surface in the debate
on amnesty in Congress last week but
before giving indiscriminatc censurc. it
is best to know the facts. What are
they As we understand them they
are briefly as follows:
EX-Speaker Blaine of Maine. in Il
speech upon the amnesty resolutions,
opposes the pardon of jeff Davis. and
charges him with the responsibility of
the harbarOus treatment of Union sol
diers i'll rebel prisons. He is followed
by rebel Gen. Hill, who makes Il most
I.,hid secession speech, and charges the
gro>se~t inhunanities upon federal au-
tlIoIiticS in their treatment of confed-
crate prisoners. In his outrageous TRADE
he was seconded by Cox of New York.
aud other democratic members.
Who was t" blame for this revival of
the secession spirit III Congress Ger
taimll not Mr.. Blaine. 1t was perfectly
III order for him to object to the full
pardon of jeff. Davis. and also to give
history. How did he know that he was
tleading So heavily on democratic toes
when he excepted the President of the
Contcderacy from amnesty
While all will not admit that Mr.
Blaine's smart" way is the best. il is
his way, and he cannot change it. The
sequel proved that he was too much for
the opposition III parliamentary tactics
as we'll ~ debate. The amnesty rc>o-
buttons failed of passage, lacking fuur
of tw"-thiidS Vote. The dctcrmina-
tI"n "f the opposition to force them
through Without amendment and de
bate, arlaIed the republicans against
them III such numbers us to kill them.
Mr. Blaine then asked consent of the
House to introduce his bill to amnesty
all except Davis. saying that he knew
of course it would bc defeated but he
wanted it voted on. and would permit
any amendments. If" said he, the
other side refuse this request. it is he
c.use they do not want any bill To pass"
But Randall and other democrats oh
iected. Then Blaine once more dumb
founded his opponents 10y withdrawing
his motion Ia reconsider. which closed
the debate. shutting of the democrats
from any reply.

Portland Trade and Portland Traders

We have called attention heretofore
ia the fact thai the opening of the Port
land y O"dcn>burg Railroad through
to Portland. would rc-cStabliSh he line
of exchange between that city and
Northern Vermont and New Hampshire.
which formerly prevailed. but which
was broken when the railroads running
north from Boston reached this section
This Is being realized in Il measure. as
ON readers already see Portland mrr-
chants in this place. and learn of Yer
mont buyers in Portland.
Portland has several advantages over
any other market for certain commodi-
ties which are largely used in'this sec
lion. the principal one being perhaps
MS shorter distance. There are other
advantages. but this one is important
with all heavy goods especially.
Besides the fact of its pccunialN ad-
vantage. the people of the northern
portion OF these two states owe much
to Portland and this 'oad for what it is
to them. Ii has become Il success
through severe opposition. IL has taxed
the brains and pockets of many of The
live men from Portland haI Dor to Ma
guam bay. Now that. in all its essen
tlalS. ii is accomplished. i there not
something akin To duty resting upoE all
t" aid ii to complete success.
We again call attention to the cards
of Portland business firms hich appear
ia this paper. We intend To give none
but those of reliable houses We will
speak NOW of un one of these the
firm of Dana y Co. The father of the
present senior partner. established the.
finn i'll l-O-. The senior commenced
his apprenticeship in ISIS. when the
then firm of Dana y Smith transacted
about all the business in their line that
was carried on with northern New
Hampshire and Vermont. In the al
most seventy Years of its existence. this
house has sustained IL reputation for
reliability and fair dealing. and We are
confident they will maintain it.
We may speak of some other Port
land houses hereafter.
