THE Bangor Commercial halls Mr.. voorhees,
as the Tribune Of the people, prints his
blatherskite speech, and compares him to
Clay, Webster, Calhoun, and Benton. Shade
of Old Bullion! The Commercial enthusi-
astically remarks in assorted type: "When
the PEOPLE of these States shall have read
MR.. Voorhees, speech their hearts will
warm towards him as they were wont to warm
towards ANDREW JACKSON, when he con-
fronted the Money Power OF the land with
bold and indignant words, and throttled the
monster of the United States Bank. Boldly,
manfully and courageously Mr.. VOORHEES,
stood forth in the Senate last Tuesday, and
spoke as the TRIBUNE OF THE PEOPLE;
and when the people shall read his burning
words of truth and of proph ecy, their hopes
will be kindled anew, their faith in the Re-
public will be revived" So the Eastern
Democracy favors reputation, does it?

Mayor Buffers Letter.

Mayor Buffers letter declining to be again
candidate for the mayoralty will be read
with profound regret by many of our citizens
who had hoped that he would again consent
to accept the Office whose duties he has so
ably discharged during the past year. He
will retire from office with the consciousness
that his administration has been able and
beneficial, that he has managed with great
prudence the interests committed to his
charge, and that he has won the esteem of
the citizens of Portland, by the solicitous
regard be has shown for the welfare of the
city and the enlightened judgment he has
displayed in conducting its affairs. His
thorough legal knowledge and practical busi-
ness ability have been of especially great
service in extricating the municipality from
the embarrassment causediby the railway loans,
and in his other official acts he has evinced
desire for efficient and economical govern
ment which will long be remembered to his
credit

SOME ofthe pro-Turkish papers are calling
Russia bad names because she disregards the
treaty of 1856. Why not assai the other
European powers for disregarding the treaties
of 1852 According to the reasoning of
these papers the unity of Italy and the inde-
pendence of Belgium are crimes. The new
kingdom of Italy should be broken up and
the kings and viceroys and grand dukes be
restored to power, and Belgium should be
turned over to Holland.

OUR Legislature seems minded to tackle
the tramp nuisance. Some half-dozen bills

tramp is also agitated in Connecticut, and
New York proposes to build two warehouses

radical cure for the disease.
