Il know not how it is with others. but
I never 70 into a factory without a feel

much noise. in so bad an atmosphere, and
with such mechanical employment! Sure

The policy too of accommodating in a
small space that vast and dependent pop
uIation which is the natural growth of a
manufacturing town seems to me to be
of very doubtful utility. Not in such
places are republican and spartan hearts
best educated. Not there will be in

Concord Banquet Is Wet.
There was a banquet. reception at
the state house and other entertainments
at Concord These, the journal says, "un-
like those at Boston and Lowell, were en-
liyened by claret madeira. sherry and
champagne
At o'clock the President was again
conducted to the state house, where he
was introduced to a great multitude of
ladies Mr.. Buchanan was. of course,
the ladies the bachelor premier was al
most a match for the married President.
The granite hills of New Hampshire
contain a population of warm hearts and
generous impulses. Nowhere was the
President treated with more unreserved
kindness and nowhere did the feelings OF
the people seem to go out to meet him
with such a spontaneous gush of enthu-
siastic regard.
At Portland and other cities of Maine
the same enthusiasm was manifested,
particularly because no President had
previously visited that state.
Its citizens found pleasure in meet

welcome to TIL their inequalities and their
hearts. Living oceans of humanity sur

thusiasm with which he was received is
beyond description.
The party admired the beauty of Port
land and it's surroundings. The President
expressed his regret that he could not
remain there longer but to meet his en-

to Augusta. where he was given a
formal reception at the state capitol. and,
in reply to an address Of welcome from
Gov Dana made the most extended and
elaborate address delivered upon his

In his speech at Augusta he spoke at
great length upon the perils of secession,
in terms which sound rather odd when
uttered by the representative of state
which attempted to secede few years
later.
1.-The Union of states" he said. lis the
polestar of our hope and the sweet safe
guard of human liberty throughout the
world. He who would infiict fatal blow
upon that frame of society. glorious alike
in its formation and results. would haz-
ard a calamity which no patriot and no
lover of his race can Contemplate without
alarm.
Let the Union be dissolved, and in
stead of the spectacle which we now pre-
sent to the world of a confederacy of
united and prosperous states we shall eX-
