The Republican Party.
Let it be understood once for all, no man
represents the Republican party. On this
great, stormy ocean of civil war, men rise
and sink like bubbles. If any man might have
elaiinad to he the representative of the party
of progress when the Chicago convention as
lembled, it was the man who announced the
Irrepressible conflict, and so doing assured
himself a niche in history forever. That con
vention passed by Mr. Seward; the party ac
cepting the nomination of Abraham Lincoln,
swept forward to victory. Among our generals
there was one, whose name was dear to the lov
ers of liberty. Gen. Fremont is to-day with
out A command. The Repuhlicanfparty does
not falter, does not turn aside to waste the
precious hours, freighted, burdened with a
World’s hope, in idle regrets and childish lam
entation.
This party is the party of the nation. If
General McClellan will lead the army of the
Union to victorious battlefields, well; if not,
Burnside; and if not Burnside, then Hooker.
Others may regret the loss ol McClellan's
splendid talents; so do we. Others may ad
mire, may reverence the more than soldierly
daring, the high moral courage of Burnside;
so does the Republican party. But this party
will not turn its back to the enemy, and sit
down with tearful cambric to lament the loss
of any man. It docs not ask, Who leads ? but,
Whither? That man, whose sole aim is to
beat down now these Southern bayonets ar
rayed against the national life, is the best and
the only Republican. If he have the courage
and ihe power to do something, he shall be
our leader, though like Butler he declare that
he is and ever will be a Democrat. It is the
party of the nation, and not of any man. Who
ever is for the Union witli a whole heart and
a strong arm, is sure of its support.
A brave officer in a moment of passion sac
rificed a well-earned reputation, flung away
the hope of an honorable career, for the grati
fication of his spleen. He was cashiered last
went, u is a paimui spectacle. Air. i.aniPr
on is accused of corrupt practices by a crea
ture who is a liar according to bis own repre
sentation, who boasts that he sold himself un
der false pretences, promised bis vote lor mon
ey with intent to deceive. Mr. Cameron may
be guilty. The Republican party concerns it
self neither about him, uor about Gen. Porter
The people who constitute that party have
but one aim—to maintain their right of self
government against all coiners. They voted
to limit slavery. It was a peaceful, constitu
tional act. Slavery rose up in arms against it,
and by arms it must be put down—put down
finally and utterly. No man's reputation can
outshine the light of this great purpose. No
man’s loss or gain can be weighed against the
measureless Joss of national existence. Only
around the first citizen of the Republic, and
around him only by virtue of his august sta
tion, do all true lovers of the country gather.
His hands must be strengthened; his coun
sels must lie informed. For his short-com
ings, laden as he la with so vast a weight of
responsibility, allowance must be made. He
must also bear sharp criticism; it is no time
for ceremony. In bis integrity we confide.
Under him this government is to contiuue, or
perish in revolution. Not merely as an lion
est man then, hut as the President of the
I United States, as the symbol of civil order
and good government, he is entitled to re
ceive the faithful support of the Republican
party. All true men, who unite in the dis
charge of tiiis high duty, by whatever name
known heretofore, are the Republicans of this
living, momentous present.
Mb. Carletoy iy Montreal.—A festival
was held, under the auspices of the Sons of
Temperance of Montreal, on Thursday eve
ning of last week, in honor of the meeting of
the Grand Division of Canada. John C. Beck
ett, Esq., presided. The Chairman, in the
eourse of his opening speech, took occasion to
extend a special welcome to "Mr. Carleton,
of Portland, the Most Worthy Patriarch of the
National Divisions.*’ After several other speak
er* Mr. Carleton came forward. His remarks
are thus re|torted yi the Montreal Witness:
Having Mated that he was exceedingly hap
py iu being present, lie thanked his brethren
for the invitation to come to this city. But he
did not intend to insult the understanding of
the meeting by dcseanting on the miseries
caused by intemperance. He thanked (tod
that there was not in the State of Maine or in
tbe city of Portland, any bouse bearing the
sign “Licensed to sell intoxicating liquors.’’
(Applause.) He was proud ol this because
he knew it bad done a vast deal for his coun
try-men and country-women; and it would al
so do a vast deal lor tbe people of Canada and
for the world. While the Cliristiau men and
women of Canada had been mourning with the
people of tlie States over the war now devas
tating that once happy country, had it been
lurguivru uim mere whs siiii hii awiui curse
over that laud in the shape of rum-shops and
distilleries? The speaker haring observed
that beer made more young luen drunkards
than all the rumshoos of the land, said he was
glad to see the way in which the audience had
expressed their sympathies, when the Kev.
Mr. Dull'alluded to the abolition of slavery.
The United Stales had been laboring under
that awful curse for many years; but it was
hi* conviction that God had pul the nation in
to a great retlnery, hut nevertheless was deal
ing with It in mercy. He believed that all the
Northern reverses from the time of Hull Kun,
had come irom the hand of God, but in Heav
en's good time everything would come right
again. The war was working out the great
problem of human freedom, not only for Amer
ica, hut lor the world. (Applause.) He be
lieved that slavery once crushed in the United
States, wouhl receive its death blow over
the world, and if such turned out the case, why
not bear up under these little reverses? lie
and heard, coming on the cars, that there was
talk of the West and South uniting, and leav
ing New England out. He would like to ask
what would S'ew England do then?
A voice—Come to Canada.
Mr. Care on—Well, if so, we will meet you
at the cities, and strike hands with you. If
that time should come, we have winter outlets
•ulncient lor belli of ns; we have a tlrst-rate
■ea coast, six hundred miles long, and the fin
est harbor in the world, I don't see why we <
cannot set up house-keephig. The ohl coun
try has talked as if you will have to take care
of your own bread and butter, and if you 1
want red coats, to umke them yourselves If
the Southern and Western States take' Up
that course let them take it; but good night '
(The speaker retired atnid applause.)
Friday ev6ning Mr. Carieton addressed a
public meeting in the Mechanics’ Hall, on the
subject of Prohibition.
British and Avh.kk. an Exchange Ban
king Corporation.—We notice by the late
Liverpool papers, that under the above title
a company has been formed with a capital of
one million sterling, and branches in Liver
pool, London and Manchester, to deal in the
purchase and sale of exchange in New York
and England. This business has heretofore
been monopolized by a few foreign bankers
and their agents in this country, and we have
been suiprised that the Boston and New York
banks have so long permitted foreigners to en
gross business, which they could do wi'Ji ease
and profit.

LEGISLATURE OT MAINE.
[SPKCl A L DISPATCH TO THE DAILY TUKSP.J
Augusta, Jan. 27.
SENATE.
Tuesdays—Prayer by Rev. Mr. Sargent of
Hallowell.
Papers from the House were disposed of in

The use of the Senate chamber was granted
the Board of Agriculture Wednesday afternoon
and evening, fora general discussion on the sub

Mr. Wiggin presented the following order :
Ordered—That a Joint Select Committee be
appointed to enquire into and investigate the
proceedings of the several departments of the
State Government for the last two years, so far
as relates to military purchases, contracts, sup
plies, money and articles furnished volunteers;
and that the Committee have the power to coin
jiel the attendance of witnesses, and the produc
tion of pa]>ers.
• Mr. Wiggin said he had no idea of asking any
| investigation, or legislative proceedings, not
! proper in themselves, and just to the people of
the Sta*e. He did not know that any wrongs
had been committed, but the idea has been thrown
; out that some things had been done not author
ized by law, ami which will not bear the scrutiny
of a searching investigation. It is only just to
past officials to investigate the matter, and, if
incorrect, to relieve them from the odium some
how cast upon them. »
Mr. Spring favored the investigation, but was
opposed to so many Special Committees. He
moved to substitute the Committee on Militia
and Military Affairs.
Mr. Wiggin thought it would not be just to
that Committee. They had enough without this,
and even now will he occupied until the last of
the session on matters already referred. This
does not come within their province.
After some further discussion by Messrs. Mor
row, Spring and Wiggin, the amendment offered
by Mr. Spring was adopted, and the order, as
amended, was passed.
Mr, Spring, from the Committee on Banks
and Banking, on the order relating to shinplas

Here is a morsel from a notice of the
last Atlantic in the Argus: “J. K. Lowell has
“one ofliis Biglow papers, in which murder of
| “the kiug's English is regarded to be wit. We
t “are glad to say that the author promises to
“discontinue his contributions.” What king's

Reverend Homer Wilbur be construed into a

SIT” The Commercial Bulletin repeats its
annual advice to shipmasters, to take the
Southern route from Europe in winter. Four
ships arrived in New York on the 19th. Of
these, three sailed from England on the 20th,
22d and 28th November, made the passage in
high latitudes, and experienced had weather.
The fourth sailed on the 4th Decemlier, nearly
a week later than the latest of the others,
spent 12 days in working down Bie Eugliah
channel, made the Southern passage and had
fine weather, arriving, as mentioned, on the
same day with the others. The Bulletin claims,
that much suffering and loss may be avoided
by avoiding the Northern route.
The Eastport correspondent of the St.
Croix Herald, says that on the 12th iust., a
son of Dr. Fessenden, of that plnce.hnd loaded
a horse pistol aud not being successful in get
ting it off laid it upon a table in front of his
elder brother saying, "Nick, you nor nobody
else can get that pistol off.” Nick took the
pistol aud in the first movement of the lock by
him the “stubborn” thing did go off and
the contents of the pistol, wadding, ball and
some of the powder, were lodged in the breast
of its owner, just below tile collar bone. The
hall and wadding went through jacket and
vest and the bail indented itself more than
halfover in the flesh. A few grains more of
powder in the pistol would have proved fatal.
As it was it caused.au awful fright for the
time being, but in a few moments, on the as
surance of the fattier that nothing very serious
had taken place, there was Joy in that family
as though one had risen from the dead.
