Whatever defects may be found in the
protest of the Maine representatives and
senators elect who went to Augusta to see
the returns, it cannot be said that the doc
ument is not plain-spoken. Itcalls things
by their right names. 1t shows up the
vacillation, the breach of faith, the incon-
sistency and the usurpation of which the
council is guilty. The proceeding has
been carefully watched, and there will one
day be an account to settle. Meantime
the council has the power to do as it will.
The burglar who has his victim bound and
gagged can plumber at his leisure. and if
he steals consumable goods and eats them
on the spot they cannot be taken from him.
But there is no particular reason for ex-
ultation over his opportunity, or for pride
in his act. The governor and council are
now apparently resolved to commit the
robbery. but they are greatly mistaken il
they think the feelings of republicans are
those of unmixed dependency. The in.
tending thieves are known and watched
and when they have accomplished their
purpose there will be an opportunity fol
the republicans to put them where they
belong-in limbo.-Boston Adcertiser.

The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of a cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances Of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, We have mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhGa, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by
'sDr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy pre-
