elected our present Council complaining that men ara removed from ffico on account of their political opinions They must bavo changed their own opinions very materially since last January Then it was a sufficient cause tor the removal of any psreoa from office that bo had voted for Gen Jackson When this fuel wee ascertained no other question was asked Caucus after ceacue was bald not lam than five or six in a week end nt I hero nocturnal meetings it wee decided that ever friend of Jackeon wee to be put down ao matter what hie character was ia other respects The principle was openly and boastfully proclaimed and ia the highest and loudest tones of insolent supercilious ness The Governor man of as pure and upright a mind as this or any other State can bout of tho most perfectly amiable and conciliatory manners nominated a portion of republicans and a portion of federalists to office Ho is a republican and be evinced tho strongest disposition to preserve harmony in tho public councils by offering to hie Council a full and large share of federal aomioa-lionf All the fedaralieia were confirmed by the Council and all the republicans rejected These oven wise men would allow no compromise There must be no half way measures They must be both Governor end Council The leaders of the legislature back their Council Caucus after caucus was called to brace the party up to measures of the utmost violence Never before have we seen the fury end madness of party carried to auch extent This system was not the result of a sudden effervescence of passion It was a plan deliberately adopted months before openly proclaimed in their papers and xealoualy enforced by their new leader end hie partisans Three or four of these who had been most violent and forward and held offices under the United States whose term of office had expired were not reappointed But in every case there were just nnd sufficient causes far a change without regard to politics and on these grounds the changes were made Yet these men and their friends now rairo the cry of persecution Their doctrine was that every friend of Jackeon must be removed from office in this 8tale because this was government of Adame men But when their own rule is applied to themselves oh then it ia quite another affair But if tbey have chanced to fall into the pit which they have dug for their neighbor it is hardly worth the while for them to rairo such piteous lamentations When Hainan wee hung on the gallows which he raised for Mordccai we do not think that ha had very good grounds for appealing to tha sympathy of the bystanders The government of thia State hae until the present year been in the hands of the republicans They have exercised their power with great mildness and moderation towards those who have been politically opposed to them The federalists have always had a share of office in number and importance bearing a full proportion to the numbers of the perty et notwithstanding thia moderation notwithstanding the uniformly conciliatory policy of the republicans the very first moment that this federal no perty amalgamation gains the ascendency they carry their meaaurea to tho greatest extreme of intolerance They aclect for their Council their most coarse violent and thoroughgoing men and what shews their determination to persevere in the course of measures ia which they aro engaged is that they have so levied as their eandidaie lor Governor one of this very Council Thera could have been bnt one motive for this (election It ia universally admitted that he hae not a single qualification for the office a man of no experience in public life never thought worthy wa believe to represent hie town in the legislature a lawyer who has never risen in liie profession above the very lowest grade of professional practice a men who ia utterly ignorant of the Stele tho people are of him except in hie own immediate neighborhood when such a man is selected as a candidate what can be the ground of preferring him before all other men There can be but one reason Ho has one qualification which enita them and they look no further That is hie blind unreflecting end thoroughgoing party violence They have tried him ia the Council end find that in thia particular he will answer their purpose He will go to any lengths of violence that is asked Shall this party with this leader at their heed complain of the few changes made by the government of the United States Haman doubtless would rather have roan Mordecsi hanging from his gallows than to have been the principal figure himself in that shew But this must be a shew which was most justly entitled to that preeminence If one of our Hamane stumble kite a pitfall before they rend the eir with such dismal lamentations let them ask themselves who prepared it The trial of Selden Brsynsrd Lottery Broker for making and uttering a forged receipt of the payment of two promissory notes signed 11 Otis" with intent to defraud

hia name his future works will not only maintain bat fix him upon a mote exalted Courier From the Dumfries Coarier Mb Thom tkk Atbshibk sculptor This celebrated individual visited Dumfries a lew days ago His object as may he supposed was to see Mrs Bums the Bald's Mausoleum and St Michael's Church not the least remarkable cemetery in Britain In all these respects his wishes were gratified We were much with him and can answer for his being as modest as he ia talented and ingenious Even about his person there is something remarkable Though only 28 years of age he is muscular and brawny in a high degree measures fully 6 feet inches high has a regular and rather handsome Scotch face (ia which Station morplly and locality phrenologically are certainly very strongly marked) and it is even as regards his outer such a youth as one does not odea meet with in a summer's day Mrs Bums he had set down in his mind's eye as a very patriarchal sort of a person exhibting all the marks of feeble old age ana was not a little surprised to find her under sixty in perfect health and nearly as active as she was when the Bard first saw her on a bleach green at Maucbine and was greeted with something very like a seoUl for allowing his dog to run over ana soil several articles of female gear which she and a companion as youthful as herself were landing like Peggy and Jenny at Hawe When taken to 8l Mr Thom liko all other strangers was much struck with the number variety and elegance of the monuments Several of the designs claimed and received his meed of praise Messrs Newhall and Crombie were flatteringly noticed and with the exception of the art of lettering in which he thinks us somewhat deficient he expressed his conviction that there is nothing to equal St Michael's in Scotland With the exterior of the Mausoleum he was well pleased after a very patient examination the design he said was chaste and I lie workmanship excellent and upon the whole he seemed to be of opinion that the considering the spot where it stands -does no discredit to the ashes of him who sleeps below In the interior he wasdtill more at home and we really admired the readiness and acuteness with which he detected every flaw in the sculptures On measuring the marble band ha found it both longer and broader than hia a thing that must be entirely out of nature considering both the dimensions and proportions of his own gigantic palm The somewhat awkward twist in the bust the "scanty of tha coat with the skirt receding where it should obviously extend were also proved to be real defects while at the same time justice was freely and generously done to several good points in the sculptures and particularly to the likenesses that-exist between thi profile and Mr Naysmith's portrait Mr Thom as we have said is a little more than flfl years of age Ho waa food a stone mason at Kilmarnock and at a very early period displayed a decided taste for sculpture During hia apprenticeship he cut several busta in atone and on one occasion made an admirable representation of a ram's head which he purchased of a butcher while returning from the ice offer figuring at the "roaring play" At one period too he worked with a stone carver in Glasgow but beyond the art of forming gothic ornaments and handling the mallet in the most ordinary way he ia indebted to nature and hia own efforts for every one of those acquirements which distinguished him from the herd of common crafts-men Sometime last year ho became acquainted with our respectable friend Mr Auld of Ayr a raanr of fine taste in the arts generally and whose services proved aa invaluable as his enthusiasm is -irrepressihiin every thing that regards the Burna Ayr perhaps the' most tasteful in Britain At first we believe nothing was contemplated beyond some heads in stone to ornament the monument but the artist in the end was induced to ay a bolder fight and the result testified the most flattering estimate that had been formed of his talents Under the patient exercise of the chisel a greyish sort of stone aufBciently hard and of good texture found on the estate of Aucbeacruivo was transformed we may almost say into living representatives of the redoubled "Tam Shanter" and hia drowthy crania Souter Johnny" The figures when finished excited great admiration in Ayr were afterwards removed to Edinburgh where thousands visited them and ars at this moment aa the newspapers inform us attracting still greater crowds in the city of Glasgow But the exhibition closes fas a lew days and aarly in April it is intended to remove the figures to London and afterwards to Leeds Liverpool and Manchester la Glasgow the receipts occasionally exceed 1201 weekly and wo apeak with the book open when we say that a very handsome suia has been raised in all But as the artist was paid for his labor by subscription and thus enabled te call into being what might otherwise have remained a block ia the quarry only a part ere believe of the profits accruing from the different exhibitions is destined to find its way into his pockets The figures ia fact are the property of the subscribers to the Burns' Ayr Monument and after they have made the round of Britain gratifying as they travel millions of eyes will ultimately find a niche or rather a resting place in one of the most elegant and interesting structures which the gratitude of the we neea in has hitherto dedicated la the fame of the dead Than the site of the monument nolhingcan be finer or more appropriate For miles -around almost avsry spot is classic and so many Interesting associations rush on the mind that ho attention of the traveller ia literally distracted betwixt the "old and new foiggs o' the banks and braes of tha stream Kirk Alloway where the hags held their carnivals of yore -Ayr with its dungeon and Wallace Towers goodly bay the distance and gorgeous woods the bumble cottage in which the Bard was born and tha oqually unpretending but hallowed spot in which ropooo tha ashes of hia sire Here than the figures will remain probably te very distant posterity eom-memorative of the bard and commemorative of tbo author another proud proof of the genius of Ayrshire and the might thatmay slumber in a peasant's mind In sculpture liko other arts there are many ateps and eirety body knows that artists first modal theii figures ia day and then taka casts from them in plaster ofParist before they proceed to operate on the solid marble But Mr Thom disregards all these processes The model he copes from his own mind and hitherto at least a correct eye has been of far moroeervibeJo him than the rules of arU This fact appeared Coeorprising that many Edinburgh gentlemen were sceptical on tbo subject until they a eta- re sceptical on too subject until tbey i ally witnessed the modut aperandL Still the profession while they admit Mr Thom's natural abilities maintain that ho cannot become a great sculptor unhwe ha consent to study aa ethers have done and that here as in every other art or seieaee there ia ao royal road to mowiedge Indeed a writer in aa Edinburgh paper who aigns himself "Aa Artist" tells the public plainly that there is very little merit in drapery and comie expression and that-tha whole cannot reasonably expect any good Setohed That the ungiiardednvowals of members in the majority of our last Legislature

8 Maxwell Secretary Statk Convention Tha deep interest fcated throughout the Stato in the Convention which will meet in this town on the 10th of June indicates very strongly that the legislative nomination of Mr Huntoon the federal candidate for Governor will not be sanctioned by the people Thera lias not been time since our separation from Massachusetts when it wee so important to maui- elect a chief magistrate who thoroughly understands the interests of the who hae the ability to sustain and whose character and political standing will afford some guarantee that her territo- rial righte now in dispute will not be sacrificed through the ignorance imbecility or etupidita of her Governor We believe that the people of Maine will not again be deceived by the pretended patriotism of a few interested politicians who are now striving to retain the control of tha Stale Government which they accidentally acquired the last year and who are disposed to place the State in an altitude of hostility to the national administration however injuriously to her interests merely to promote their personal views Maine Patriot The spirit of democracy is awakening throughout all tho coasts of Maine From every quarter we hear of meetings called and delegates choron to attend tho Convention at Auguala The innovation upon all former usages since the separation attempted by the party in power lest winter in placing tha ban of proscription upon tho nomination of every democratic candidate for office haa completely undeceived the peoplo in regard to its political character The delusion of supporting Mr Adame ee a republican President ia dispelled and Maine is again hastening to join the demoeratic family To effect this regeneration the necessity is felt of union and concert A Slate Convention composed of delegates from every section freiih from tlie people end representing their views will ensure both Thia Convention will bo the most numerous and respectable the! hae been holden in Maine and whoerer is there nominated for Governor it ia next to certain will be elected Who that candidate may be we do not pretend to conjecture But this we believe to be the voice of the demoeratic perty let no ft nee-rider no timid eteoenik hour Jaekton no twaddler ns vapouring teheming wavering double faced politician be eeleeted It wdl be much more honorable and far better policy to bo dolor a i feated with a staunch old democrat for a candidate who bee not been led away by the heresies of the times then to gain victory under candidate whose firmness and sagacity no confidence
