ENGLISH FfftfniNG TOWARDS
AMERICA.
It must be gratifying tn Americans to
know,that notwithstanding the abuse heap
ed upon them and their institutions, by the
hordes efEnglisb travelers who ■ early infest
this coutry, there are those in the good old
•‘fader land” who are disposed to accord
10 them the credit they deserve. We, as
one of tli “universal Yankee nation,
have never been disposed to complain where
our real faults have been animadverted up
on, nor to deny that vve possess them in as
great abundance as any other nation; hut
we have felt a disgust towards the English
character for the undue ami unqualified
censure which many of their public men
have, for years past, been meeting out to
us. It is seldom now, that we receive an
honest greeting from John Bull, without
qualification. But when the old man is in
good humor, and thinks that Jonathan is
his son. fte for a moment forgets tho man
ner in which he ‘‘cut the leading strings,”
and says, “God bless you,” from the very
bottom of his soul. The new era in Atlan
tic Steam Navigation bids fair to increase
good feeling between the old and young
gentleman, and may bring about an entire
reconciliation between them, We find
symptoms of this in an article in the Lou
don Quarterly Review, “Atlantic Steam
Navigation,” from which we extract the
following:
• iniriy years n£() 1 i'11011 u iinrssmg
Mr. Miller’s experiments on tin* Forth ami
Clyde Canal, succeeded in really establish
ing a steamboat on the Hudson River, be
tween New York and Albany, a distance
of about 150 miles. His speed was only
six or seven miles the hour; but how as
tounding must it have been to the unbe
lieving and jesting crowds on the river
side who witnessed the commencement of
the project, w hen they were crunpelh d to
acknowledge its execution? \t’e have
heard it lately stated, that of the two mem
bers of a lcadieg New Yolk firm in these
times, one started from Albany and the
other from Bristol on the same day—each
by sailing packet—and each being sixteen
days on the voyage, the passage to Europe
was accomplished in tlio same time with
that between the ‘commercial mi tropolis of
the new world and the Legislative Capital
of the same state. Mr. Porter (in 1637)
enumerates thirty-nine steamboats as be
longing to the port of New York. Our
own enquiries may be move recent, arid a
year or two is a matter of some moment in
those matters, especially in Amei icn, where
the whole aspect of their kalnidescope so
ciety changes as it were at jar, almost while
the book of the men who undertakes to de
scribe it is going to press; we should set
down about sixty steamboats for N'. York.
A daily journal from that busy emporium,
now before us, speaks of the starting of
some ten or a dozen for Albany, at the
same hour, and of an equal number seen
meanwhile crossing the water in various
other directions; most of them, he it con
sidered,boats that may well ho cnlbd bloat
ing palaces.’ And again, looking to the in
terior of that country—a country that
would seem almost to have been made for
steamboat navigation for it—what a specta
cle do uu there behold of victorious sei
eftee, energy, agd art, thinking it would
seent, their proud triumphal marches, their
/progresses.” Instinct with all but life,
•Tramp, trump along the earth they ride,
Splash, splash, across the sen;’
everywhere, rejoicingly rushing on, ns if,
with all their flying flags and noisy en
gines of specil, themselves to celebrate the
advent of that civilization which they do so
much to extend. There are now about 40
steamboats on Lake Erie alone. On the
Mississippi waters where 20 years since,
there was no such a tiling as a regular line
known, there are now 300 boats at the
smallest calculation ; we have indeed seen
the number rated twice as high.”
Our neighbors in the provinces might
feel their pride a little hurt, if their self
conceit would allow them to sloop so much
as to notice the following:
'Not only does America occupy the
Western Hemisphere by herself, while all
other continents are pitched against*her in
one, hut on that side civilization has yet
made so little progress, things are so liter
ully ne:r, that the ‘United States of Atneri- !
ica’ might with some plausibility assume to :
be America, the writer says,
‘‘The Americans themselves, not more
in the transports of their exultation over the ;
first thought of the effects of it, than in :
their admiration of tlie thing itself, and oil
the style in which it was carried through, I
seem to hnve been too much otherwise ex- j
cited to feel their wonted chagrin at ap
pearing to bo ever taken by snrpriso in
matters of practical adventure. Nay cher- ‘
ishing, we do believe the honor of their Ci
ther iand next to that of their own (for we i
. bare often that, although Jonathan gives
a gruff,grumbling family growl of a lecture
now and then—partly, perhaps, to prove
himself a descendant—ho is never easy in
seeing it done by any body else,) they quite
torget their sorrow in their pride.”
In alluding to the New York ships which
ply between New .York and the several
English Ports, lie says,
“From the very high and well-deserved
reputation of the ‘Line's’-—the most per
fect conveyance of the kind, and the great- i
est advance in merchant navigation ever
up to the spring, of 1838—it is per

THE ELECTION.
We feel it our duty to recur frequently
to the recent election, in ibis State; and to
spread before the public such facts as come
to our knowledge,which go to prove beyond
a question, the trutn of our ns.-eition, that
the election was carried against the Whigs
by a system of fraud and corruption ini
paralelled in the history of this or any
other age.—In the countv of Piscataquis
the loro foco Bmtrd of Selectmen of two
towns have already been indicted by the
Grand Jury for their dishonesty, and pros
ecutions are already in progress in different
sections of the Slate against Van BurOrt
presiding, officers for their high handed
rascality on the day of e lection, in disfran
chising Whig voters, anti in enfranchising
'tost1 who Imd no legal right to vote, hut
who were permitted so to do, because they
were of the true faith. What candid man
is there who believes that tIso county of
Oxford co.lid throw more votes than one
fifth part of its entire population—vet such
is the startling fact, and who is there (wc
pat the question with earnestness and can
dor) uho is there that believes it could he
honest I v done? Again we ask why in the
mast of the towns in the County of Waldo
check lists wore not kept, and tho voters
were permitted to deposite their ballots in
a hat in violation of law? Was it not so
arranged to afford facilities to the reddes
and abandoned to throw as many ballots as
they chose? Again we ask where the
vast sums of money come from, that was
frerly hvished in mmy parts ef the Si "to
lo oppcrate upon the election. Ruel \\ il
lintns said in a letter addressed to the Ban
gor Whig that he did not obtain money
through the Merchant’s Bank, hut why did
Mr. Williams lament his answer to his al
leged .agency through that Institution in
the destribntinn of the funds? Is Mr. Wil
liams ignorant of the fact that thousands of
dol'nrs were expended to influence voters?
Is he Ignorant of the fact that in several
places as high as ten and fifteen dollars
were unblushingly offered for votes? Ifso,
let him extend his enquiries in the commu
nity and lie will find that sueli was the case.
The \ an Boren leaders have been very
anxious since the elect ion to suppress ail
inquiry, and to have as little said about the
election as possible, and well they may be
anxious, lor the voice of tin indignant and
cheated people arc sounding their notes of'
displeasure into their ears. Wo repeat—
Maine lias been thrown into the arms of
Van Bnrcn by bribery and fraud—the elec
tive franchise among us is not only abused,
but is rapidly approaching to that condition
when it will be considered as a mere farce.
Ret we do not ynt despair of the triumph
of correct principles men in Maine—if po
litical iiaverv his reaped its golden harvest,
hoiiesily and truth will find un abiding place
1 and make rapid accession to their ranks
by the force of their own loveliness and
majesty. [Hullowtll Crhon.
Arn.E Molasses.- There is many a
good housewife, who.hits more faith in her
own experience, than in the sujnoe ofehym
istrv, that knows not the* value of apple tno

kind of tart, smoky, worthless stuff that
has from time immemorial been made by
boiling down eider. It is net within my
province, at this time to attempt to convince
surdi that there is a chemical difference,
though it might he easily shown that they
ate almost as different ns vinegar and su

aside their cider this year, and try the
plan of boiling down the juice of the apple

it should ho home in mind, thai in the

Worcester gave a W big majority of 491, an 1 Alleghany
a whig majority of 121, total 012. If t»t«elc is cieeted

'J ho accounts state thnt
“'1 he polls in several of the Wards wers token
possession of, at an early hour, by bands of ruffians
who were allowed ’ey the Van Muren j idges of elec
tions to blockade the passages, and effectually pre
vented the taking of Whig votes for more than one
half the day. i he conduct of some of these Van
I uren judges was so outrageously partial to their
followers, and unjust to tno Whigs, that t ere i« a
determination on the part of some of the most respec
table citizens to have them indicted. Among the ex
pedients resorted to against us was the removal of
the artificial passages which has been made of strong
boards, from the street to the polls in order to facili
tate the voting. These were ordered by several of
the Van Buren judges to be removed; and, in short,
the whole labor ofour opponents was to prevent the
Whig votes from being taken.”
We forbear to add any further remarks on this
subject, at present; we can only eny in conclusion,
when such a spirit is evinced, and carried out by a
party it is enough to sicken the heart of the patriot,
and rna' e him sigh in view of the^ciisis. which must
overtake us, if that party is not 6ubdued.
