COMMUNICATIONS. [Written for the Pres*.] A Letter to Nam Pimpkins from his Cuz zen Dorothy Ann away Down Kast. My Dear Cczzen Sam :—I received your last epystle in dew lime, and should hev an serd it afore now but I hev bin awful bizzy gittin reddy to go up to Portland to atcud the massonick selebrashun. I didn't know as I could git reddy but I was bound to go auybow. I thot praps you’d like to have a dixcrlpehun of it. Well.fustly we (for I wasn’t alone) took the bote in the P. M. an arrove there the next day in the A. M. Our rapturus ears w’as gre ted with sounds of tnarshul musiek. They play’d Nelly Bly, wate lor the waggon, yanke doodle and several uther Nationantic ayers which was charmin. I tell you Sam ’twas enuff site better’n your fiddle. I bad beam tell considerable bout the prosesshun an was aw ful anckshus to see it; ’twas bout the longest prosesshun of the kind I ever seen. I’ve seen a good many funeral prosesshuns, but dont think any of um was so long as that one was. Sum of the prosesshun was on a hoss,sum was in a too seated kiverid karridge (suthin like Squire Washburn’s up our way, only bigger) my cuzzen in the city sez tbems bairoochis, sum was walkin, sum hed on three cornerd hats with white feathers, an sum hed strips of velvit round their necks. I told my cuzzen I gest them men had sore throtes but she grined and sed them was regailyures, sum didn’t hev on no regailures. only little white apons with blew ribbun. After we hed vew’d um long enough there cum a real hansum fel ler an asked me'u my cuzzen if we wouldn't go to Mr Pribhles hous to dinner. Now Sam praps you never herd of Mr Pribble, well he bilt a grate hous, an hed lots of pooty furni tary in it, why such a grate hous I never see, an he went to takin borders and lodgers an itinnyrunts as my cuzzen sed, but what she meut by that was more'u I know'd. Well us 1 was sayin this hansum feller asked me’n mv cuzzen if we would go and we gode. I gess youder larfed for they had the table sot in a big room big enuff for a danein hall, an such a lot of urn to. Jest as I was goin to set down, there come a feller up beliind me and with an apon tide round him and do you think Sam he shuved my chair rite agin me so as you spose 1 sot down ruther sudden. This ryled me, an when I turned round to tell him he nettflMMpfm* hr Could impose on me I diskiv ered that he had left, so I lied to let him left without adressin him. O sez I what funny tumblers they her here,such hi oucs. Hush sez my cuzzen therns gobblers. And dont you think Sam they hev little towels stuck rite into urn. Sez I thats a funny place to keep theyer towels I shonld think. My cuzzen turned kinder red ez if ’twas a hot day, j’t wasn’t tho) an sez she therns napkins to wipe your face an lingers with. I spose she thot I didn't no much, for every time I’de go ter speck she’d look as if she’d ruther give the world than for me too, but I didn't care no how, for aech a queer way as they did hev of doln things at Mr Pribbles house, I never see afore. Why they hed little handbills all over the table. Hullow sez I, goin to be a pannerram mer? funny place for han bills tho sez I. The hansurn feller spoke up an sez he therns bill-o’-fare. Billy who, sez 1. bill-of-fair, sez my cuzzen, pokin me in the rybs, them is printed statements or outlynes of the vitlles that is projuced for our masty fyrashun, an you ken lie helped to any of the artikles ennnmerrailed on that doykyment.sez she, now don't talk so loud. That feller with the apon on kep stanin at our elbose, heerin all we scd; so sez I what do you want? Sez he, I want to wait upon you. No you don’t, sez I; I'm alreddv spoke for, sez I. Sez my cuzzen, (feeliri jell us) lie wants to know what you will hev to eat. Well, sez I, if Miss Pribble is a good cook, I'll hev sum roste turkey, for 1 ken git enuff corn-beef an liver on the farm. So after I’d got reddy to eat, and lied all the preliminary escorts, as my cuzzen called urn, I thot I’d employ my hiest idees to talk to the feller; so, sezl, by way of introjueshion, Mr. Pribbles house ruth er beets anything we’ve gut down east. In deed, sez he. Yes, sezl. Now, my conver sasliunal powers isn't much, and he wound up so sudden like, that I didn’t no what subjeck to interjuee next, so, sez I, holdin up my fork, they keep theyre tin ware shiny, don't they? I ges Miss Pribble must be master tidy liout house; an as he didn’t say nothin but yes, which seemed to be a favrite phraize of ex presshun, 1 kep on. Sez I, examinin it close, them's ruther hevy for tin: ges they must be puter. I ges if I see Miss Pribble I'll serep ncquantunce with her, an ask her where she gits her seourin stuff. By this time my cuzzen was, ez she .said, completely flustered, an mortyfyeashun cum on, so, sezl, I guess we’d better git her out, for she’s kinder dlllykit; so, after she begun to re sume, she asked the feller if he wouldn’t go homo with us, an he larfed, an sez lie yes, agin; so we converced on the littry tropicks of the day. on national trubbles, an sed considurable bout the masonick instytunhun. he bein a ma sun. I was prety well well verced on tliem subjecks, for I’ve lied more skoolin than gals hev for the most part; an I've studded readin, an writin, and rythmetick, ever sence I was a child; then maim has always tooke the Mis ahunary Adverkate, for she* bound we should bo posted on what was occurrin in the sur roundin touns; an if it hedn’t been for the newspaper I shouldn't hev knowd of this tnn sonick selybrasiiun. Well, as I was sayiu, this feller went home with us, and maid a call. I tell you, Sam, if Obid hadn't passed just as he did, twouider lien all day with him. 1 couldn’t help thinkin of the words of Longfeller, or sum one else: Tall and hansum was this feller. Tall and hansum as a maple; As a maple in the spring time; An his words was like the sap, too, Like the sap that comes from maple; Soft an sweet as maple sugger; An as sugar when ’tis eaten leaves the mouth as sweet as hunny, So his words, when they was spoken, When I’d thot an pouderd on urn, Made me feel, O so saluhryus. That I most forgot my Obid. I’retty soon lie sed he gest he must go, an as he was about to bid me a appheeshunate good-by, I, bein kinder bashful, sed, in the lan gtvage of Mr. Ward. I wouldn’t; and do you they was goiu to have a pmmcnaid consert. My cuzzen stated that they'd hav marshal mu sick instrumental an vokul. Sez I, I spozethey ’1 sing sum wont they? She sed nothin, an sez I, I s|>oze they’l have fiddles, anthey’l play j on the band sez I, an that’l be fine. I sjioze we will hev to set down all the time so I ges I’ll venter to put on my new delayne (though it cost a shilling a yard) for I may see sum of your frens of the mail perswashun, and I ges we better git redy and go erly so to git a good sitooation in abysynyumor in the stagin. She never said a word, but grunted and that was the only ordihle sound I herd, sez I why cuz zen I’m feerd your dinner dosent set wel. Shel I get you sum parry gorrick, sez I. As I was sayin we went to the consert, an wheu we got in they was all walking round, a feller with a gal](0 how 1 did long for Obid). Sez I what air they walkin round for, sez my cuzzen they are proinmynadin, O sez I, we promrnynade an them fellows up there consorts do they, yes, yes, I jus begin to see the things in a trew lite, In a little while a man vocifleruslv anounsed as my cuzzen sed, that the fust danse would be a syscillun hornpipe, and would be anoun sed by the sound of hornets. Why sez I, hornets is awful critirs, theyre enuf sight worsin bumble bees, didn’t they know that, an I w as jus startin to tell um that hornets wud sting um nigh bout to doth, when my cuzzen kot hold of me and sez she, he didn't say noth in bout horn-nets, he said corn-nets. A corn nets, sez I, yes, I never see oue, do they look anything like fish-nets, sez I. She looked flus turd agin, mid so I give her my fan. Seeh queer lookin folks as I did see, Sam, the most i antiquarian looking females was dressed up with theyre furbelows and jimcracks, and they 1 looked like a parsed of old wimtnln that had lost their fackultis. There was sum there judgin from there looks that was between JW 40, an they hed on dresses that hedn’t much of any sleeves to um, an I judge they didut hev cloth enutf an when they hud pulled them down long enough to sweep, why there wasn't much of any waste to be seen (I mean waste to the dress). Well things went on so for a time, when they begun to wulse, now Sam I've see queer sights, but I never see a disgust iner one than I them wiinmin and gals maid, they was ineir kled bv the gents arms, as my cuzzen dis tressed it, flying round like a top, sum of um had limbs what might lie called dillykit, but the most of them (for we had a full view) O horrors! what jmmencity of space they did ockkypie. Now sans this letter Is confyden shul, and I shel rite agin very soon an tell you about the forth o’julye. Believe me your appheeshunate cuzzen, Dorothy A.v.v Pimckins.

That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with Diarrhapa or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth er remedies are insignificant, as compared with CLEM’S SUMMER CURE. That for Children troubled with Canker in mouth or stomach, or mothers suffering from nursing sore mouth, a safe and s|ieedy cure is effected by the use of CLEM S SUMMER CURE. That for Coughs. Hoarseness and Bronchial affect ions, there is no remedy extant that so universally affords relief as HOWES’ COUGH PILLS. That for a Tightness or Wheezing in the ('best, Pains in the side, or a long standing Hack, the beat remedy ia HOWE’S COUGH PILLS. That as an expectorant and ameliorating agent in cases of Phthisic. Whooping Cough, and Confirmed Consumption, the public have already rendered their united verdict iu favor of HOWES’ COUGH PILLS. CLEM’S SUMMER CURE is a pleasant, agreeable decoction of Roots and Barks, and contains not a particle of Opium or Dxuo of any sort. It always does good, and never dot's harm.

CAUTION.—It has been estimated that over two hundred thousand dollars are paid to swindling quacks annually, in New England alone, without any benefit to those who pay it. Most of this sum comes out of a class of persons who are the least able to lose it. but once paid they ran nerer get it back, and they arc coin]wiled to suffer the wrong in silence, not dar ing to expose the clieat for fear of exposing them selves. All this comes from trusting, without inquiry, to men who are alike destitute or honor, character, and skill, and whose only recommendation is their own false and extravagant assertions, in praise of themselves. If, therefore, you would avoid beiug humbugged, take no man's word, no matter irhat his professions are. but MAKE INQUIRY it will cost you nothing, and may save you many regrets; for as advertising physicians, in nine cases out of ten are bogus, there is 'no safety in trusting any of them, un less vou know trho and irhat they are. fc^^Dr. M. will send free. b\ enclosing one stamp as above, a l’amphlet on DISEASES Or WOMEN, and on Private Diseases generally giving most full information, trith the most undimhteff references and testinuniials, without which no advertising physician or medicine of this kind is deserving of aiy confi dence WHATEVER. tyOrders by mail promptly attended to.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Cumberland Drill Coups.—The. ail Journed meeting of the commissioned officer of the several companies of the enrolled mili tia of tliis city ami vicinity, was held at tin old City Ilail last evening. The committee appointed to draft By-Laws for the govern ment of the corps, reported a list which adopted, and a committee was apgmititcd U make nominations for the several officers. Thi Cumberland Drill Corps was the name select ed for the club. Correction.—We are informed that there was an error in our report of the city proceed ings yesterday. Tile region says “Dr. Ludwig offered an order grautiug a bounty of $100 to such jiersous as may enlist.” Dr. L. informs us that the order lie introduced provided for a bounty of $100 to persons enlisting in the new regiment*, and $125 for recruits for regiments already in the service. Gen. Shepley.—We understand that Gen. Shcpley telegraphed to Alderman Putnam, asking that his friends should forego all display on the occasion of his arrival home. Ilis re quest was complied with so far as the city government was concerned, hut several hun dred peogile gathered at the depot and mani fested their joy by three hearty cheers as lie was stepgiing into his carriage. The General appears in good health anil spirits, and will re main at home until Saturday if possible. It is hoped that he will lie able to address his fellow citixcus before he returns to his giost of duty. sy-in these days of chicory, peas, dande lions, and other base imitations, a cup of pure coffee Is a rare luxury, the very existence of which is doubted by some. But it does exist, nevertheless; and if those who doubt will call at Smith’s 14 and ltt, Exchange street, they will doubt no longer. Not only is his coffee delirious, but his tallies are bountifully supgiiied with the beat the market affords. See adver tisement. Counterfeit Postage Stamps.—A coun terfeit ol the twenty-four oeut postage stamp made its appearance in this city yesterday.— I alike the genuine, it has no figures in the comer, and the words “U.S. Postage, Twenty four Cents,” instead of being part above and part below the head, form a circle about it— The face is broader than in the genuine. The counterfeit may be easily detected. Recovering.—Our highly esteemed follow citizen, Alderman Thomas it Jones, of Ward 6, is, we are happy to learn, rapidly recovering from his late severe illness. Rev. D. M. Graham preaches this (Wednesday) evening, at Carloton llall, at a quarter to eight o’clock. Ity-Persons desiringto purchase furniture, will find what they want at Parker’s, 146. Ex change St, whose advertisement appears in anotly.-r column. Trial of Steam Fire Engines. —The Portland Company have just completed for the city of Portland, two Steam Fire Engines, one named the “Falmouth” and the other the “Union.” These engines, in connection with the Machigonne, will be tested this afternoon, at two o’clock, on Back Cove, at the foot of Wilmot street. Each engine will play through a thousand feet of hose for three hours, and they will be thoroughly tested to their utmost capacity. Trunks.—We noticed some splendid trunks, of Portland manufacture, at Duran's, 165 Mid dle street, yesterday. Freedman’s Belief Association. H. Hamlin, Esq., of Washington, President of the Freedman's Relief Association of that city, will address our citizens this evening, at the City Hall, on the wants of these fugitives from iq/tuftce, at Washington. These contra bands flee from Virginia, principally, in many instances their rebel masters having led them on their estates without any means of subsist ence they are of both sexes, and of all ages; hungry, ragged, and leg-weary; and we pity the person who can turn a deaf ear from these living appeals of “man’s inhumanity to man.” Mr. Hamlin asks no pecuniary aid now, but only desires that our citizens, like those of many other places, may organize a special com mittee on this subject, with a view to provide them with clothing, books, &r., to enable them to learn to read. Correspondence of the Press. Jay.—The town of Jay, at a legal meeting of tlie voters on Friday, P.

Lyndon.— A correspondent in L.vndeu, Aroostook Co., under date of the 21st, writes as follows: nr. mm v»ui fiwuon 111 in IS town, last Friday. Chose Benj. O. Barrows Captain _1st Lieut. The quota called for from tfiTs town is three, and at this meeting Captain Barrows and three others volunteered, no our quota is full and more. As this town has already furnished more than twenty vol unteers, and has never yet had a commisioned officer, and as our Captain has volunteered, we all think he ought to have a commission, lie is a stirring, active, wide-awake man, who, with a little experience, would make a good of ficer. Fiia.vki.in.—An enthusiastic meeting was held in tills town last week, over which Hon. John West presided. Speeches were made by Amos Wlswell, Esq., N. K. Sawyer, Esq., edi tor of the Ellsworth American, Itev. C. II. El lis, Rev. Mr. Batchelor, and L. Butler, Esq. Alter the meeting the full quota of the town stepped forward, and gave their names to the recruiting officer. Pownal.—At a town meeting held in this town, Saturday last, it was voted to pay a town Imnnty of $100, and to raise the requisite amounts $1,100 by a loan. Mr. E. Thoits, and D. T. Libby, Esq., offered to give $5 each to the two who should enlist first. Six men volunteered at once, and the full quota of the town will be made up in a day or two. Boothbay.—At a town meeting held in Boothbay Saturday. P. M., to see what should be done to encourage volunteers, a motion was made by the man that pays the largest tax in town to give them $100, which was carried by a unanimous vote, and it was thought that in less than one week the quota wmdd lie made up, although this town lias already furnished one hundred and thirty for the army and navy, and only about one hundred men are now at home liable to do military duty. _ S.

The opinion continues to prevail that the rebels are in strong force between Richmond and the Appomattox river, and that they are still wnding forces in that direction. This opinion is strengthened by the pains taken to inform our prisoners and the officers in charge that an extensive movement of troops, which was seen as they were coming down was a re inforcement for Stonewall Jackson.

He heard an Adjutant say that the rebels had 113,00(1 troops engaged in battle of srven days. He was accompanied by Dr. Stone,who was taken prisoner at Hull Run, and wtio cor roborates the statement so far as relates to the movements of troops. On their way to Rich mond they passed long trains of empty cars ou the way South. Gen.

POETRY. for the Portland Daily Press. “On a Furlough.” In a dark, dreary cell, on the damp stones reclining, A poor wounded soldier lay breathing his last; And he thought of the fields where God's sunshine was shining, Of the dear ones at home, and the days that had passed; And he peered through the darknesg as though they were near him, As though all the loved ones were gathered him round; And he called them by name, and he thought they did hear him; But dark was the cell, and the walls gave no sound. “They are coming,'’ he cried, and his eye gained its brightness. “They are coming,” he cried, “and I knew they’d be here.” But his quick chauging look, and his cheek’s growing whiteness, But told of death's coming,—the monarch was near; But his soul, e'er it fled to the regions of glory, Turned fondly to home, and e’en death stayed his dart. “They are present,*’ he cried, “and what is there I “Could ask for, my dear ones,—no more shall we part; “I have thought of you often, and yearned for this meeting, “When the demon of war howled his dirge in the blast, “And, next to my country, I’ve cherished this greet ing,— “’Tis granted; and loved ones are near me at last. “And Oh, it is sweet, from earth’s troubles and an guish, “To know I'm once more where I e’er hoped to be; “Where doubt cannot enter, and love cannot lan guish, “I’m at home on a furlough,—a short time I’m free.” Death waited no longer; his swift blow was given; A gasp,—and that soldier the blest streets did roam; All troubles were over,—earth’s fetters were riven,— God granted bis furlough,—he now was at home. Portland, July 29th. A. N. II. MISCELLANY. A Yankee Decision. Sometime between the years 1812 and 1813, when considerable animosity existed between the people of Canada and the States, and some of the British subjects, who were “dresssd with a little brief authority,” looked u|ion the Yankees as but little better than the brute— the following is said to have taken place at the Custom House at St. John: A Yankee of considerable dimensions en tered the office and informed the officer that he wished to enter his load and receive his passport. The officer cast a sarcastic look at him, and said it was customary for people when they entered his office to receive a pass port to take off their hats, and requested him to do so instantly. “No, I thank you,” said the Yankee, “I paid four dollars for that hat to keep >uy head and ears warm.” “You impertinent puppy.” saiii the officer, working himself into a considerable of a pas sion. “how dare you insult me! off with your hat immediately f” “No, sir, can't do it, keeps my head proper warm.” After several orders of a similar kind, ac companied with curses and threats, which met with no better success, he stepped up to him and gave his hat a blow that sent it to the ad jacent corner of the room. The Yankee paid no attention to this, but waited patiently un til he had received a passport, folded and de posited it safely within his wallet, and was rea dy to pursue his journey, when turning to the officer, he requested him to pick up his hat and put it on his head. The officer, who was wroth, ordered him to to leave the office, or he might get into trouble —for he did not make words with a man of his discription. “I say, mister,” says the Yankee, you must pick up my hat, and that just in one minute's time, or feel the weight of these mnuls,” shak ing his list rather nearer the officer’s face than was agreeable. The officer raved and swore all to no effect, and finally threatened to cane him if he did not depart. “Mister,” said the Yankee, “time flies con siderable kinder fast,” at the same time begin ning to unbutton his coat, and you had better be going after that hat. After several more threats, which had the desired effect upon his opponent, the moment being nearly expired, he streaked off and pick ed up the hat and offered it to its owner, but he was not satisfied with that, aud ordered him to put it on his head precisely as he hud found it. The officer hesitated, but seeing the determination of the Yankee, he set it upon his head and was about to depart, when he was collared and ordered to place it as he found it. “Here.’’says the Yankee, “tuck this ear un der, now the other, pull it down in front,” ect, all of which orders the officer reluctantly ful filled. There sir, that is about right.” says the Yankee, “and now, friend, before 1 leave you 1 will give you a word of good advice: never meddle with a Yankee's hat unless you are prepared to take a peep into futurity. Good day, sir.” an oi>d rtsH.—The pilot, fish is seldom above a foot or eighteen inches long, but is extremely beautiful, being streaked transverse ly, with blue and yellowish brown that have a very pleasing effect on the water, but lose much of their lively gloss when taken out of iL These fish are often seen in small shoals, swimming immediately ahead of a shark, or near him. When a bail is thrown out for the shark, they cluster about it without attempt ing to nibble it; but by their motions to ami fro, seem to guide the shark towards it,—from whence they obtain the name of pilot-fish.— When in company with the shark, they seldom take the small hook; but when they have lost this companion, or follow a ship either singly or in shoals, they sometimes bite and are caught. They are esteemed for their size, the most delicious eating the ocean affords, and have nothing of that dryness attributed to many other sorts of Ash. In one of the old Dutch settlements of the Mohawk Valley, a very honest old farmer of the Little Four Corners was elected Justice of the Peace. It was not supposed that Squire I V-had amassed much legal learning, but I he was quite noted for his unsophisticated j honesty and frankness—indeed, a blunt Dutch man whose heart never erred, but whose head had very little connection with it in the ad ministration of his official functions. It hap pened that his first case was quite hotly con tested by lawyers on both sides. They sum med it up elaborately, and after they got through quoting from “Cowen’s Treatise,” the bar-room of the hotel (his office) being crowd with eager spectators to hear the first decis ion of the new Justice, the old man deliber ately folded up his docket, put it under his arm, lit his pipe and said: "Veil, shentlemen, I shall take four days to decide, but shall effen tually find shugement for de plaintiff." Hearsay Evidence.—Two literary ladies were lately w itnesses in a trial. One of them, upon hearing the usual questions asked, “What j it your name?” and “how old are you?” turn ed to her companion and said: “I ’do not like to tell my age, not that I have any objection i to its being known, but I don't want it pub lished in all the newspapers.” “Well,” said the witty Mrs. S., “1 will tell you how you can avoid it. You have heard the objection to ail hearsay evidence; toll them you don’t remem ber when you were born, and all you know of it is by hearsay.” The ruse took; and the question was not pressed. $3T” “Mr. Smith, I wish to speak to you privately. Permit me to take you apart a lew moments.” Smith (who wasn't the least fright ened)—“Certainly, sir, if you’ll promise to put me together again.” A young and accomplished lady residing in Hopedale, in this State, eloped last week with a blackleg and was traced as far as New York, when all pursuit became hopeless. Her pa rents are in deep distress at her loss.I Boston Post. A very worthy and pious old dame, who could not read, had several books loaned to her, which she got a little girl to read for her. The deacon of her “Pilgrim’s Progress,” ami a nephew a copy of “Robinson Crusoe.” Hav ing them read alternately, the dame got the text a little mixed up: and whem the deacon called upon her and asked her how she liked “Pilgrim’s Progress,” lie was somewhat sur prised when she replied, “It’s a marvellous book, truly; why, what big troubles him and his man Friday under goed!” THE MARKETS.

PROSPECT UIS OF THK PORTLAND DAILY PRESS: EDITED BY JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Bath Timer, and JOSEPH B. HALL, of the Aroostook Herald. The Portland Daily Press is intended to be an enterprising, vigorous and live Daily Morning Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS Is a large, well-filled, carefully edited, and neatly printed weekly paper, intended specially for general circulation throughout the State. Both of the above nAnted papers will labor to inculcate, in no dictatorial spirit, sound political prin ciples and to promote the material interests of the State, and of the City of Portland as its interests twine with, and are inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Press will give an earnest, cordial, and generous support to the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has indellibly impressed himself upon the nation’s heart as an incorruptible patriot, an inflexible Chief Mag istrate. and an honest man; the ability of whose ad ministration is most signally exhibited, not [only in the matchless operations of our army and navy, but in the unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this gigantic rebellion, our Government securities are selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit and defend sound Republican principles, and, inasmuch as political organizations have become a necessity iu carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as ,the Republican party which, in the brief chapter of its history already written, has successfully refuted the allegation of its enemies that its designs and tendencies were sec tional, and triumphantly vindicated its claim to a just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast in its devotion to the Union while other organizations have so generally become Infected with a disloyal spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only party which at present seems competent to conserve the great prin ciples underlying all free Governments, the Ureas will cordially sustain the organization of that party, not with a design to foster a mere partizau spirit, but in the full coniciousncss that it embodies the true principles upon which our government rests, and af fords the only available means of accomplishing such results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demands. It will neither seek nor endorse any compromises with men in rebellion against the laws of the land, but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of all true democracy—that the majority must govern. Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery, it may be proper to say, that while the Urkaa will sanc tion no interference with the constitutional or legal rights of loyal men, it will neither apologise for an evil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our national character, nor attempt to resist the tide of events that seems destined to sweep from existence nn institution ulnVli tlm irmatmt waki> Island, Fdtoit, North Smoke ok New' Bruns wick, Miuimkhi, ami Bay de Chaleuu.
