Mr. C. has won his way to lie best a flections and war nest regards of his countrymen, by an able, pul- j ri otic and consistent discharge ofthe high, responsible and elevated official duties which have devolved ujion him for more than twenty years past.

But as it is in type, we cannot afford to have the labor lost; and so our jetce of a compositor may find a corner for it. Victory has perched upon our stand ard. as the Democrat is probably aware by this time. But it must be confessed that she was an uncommonly long time about it. Neither did she' light down quite so flat footed as we should have preferred. The tact is, some unruly gentlemen, who were in tlie political field hunting for game on their own hook, caught her and clipped her wings; consequently she was a long time in reaching our standard, and theri plumped | down with a most lob-sided ungrateful ness. But her pinions will have obtain-: ed their growth and beauty again by the time for the Presidential contest, and the way she will then sweep over the course will tie the admiration ofthe Inion. The democracy of Maine are all right on the great question. They will go for the regular nominee of the National Con vention, heart, soul and h;uid.

John Millen, member elect to Congress, who expired on the Sunday previous, in the 40th year of his age. In the death of this amiable and excellent gentleman, and sound and inrorrupliide politician, society has lost a valuable and useful citizen, and the cause o; Democracy an able and zealous advocate.

Cos ifmed for about a week to his house, with an attack of fever the disease was believed to. have been conquered, but yesterday afternoon it assumed an unfavorable change, and our friend sunk under it between twelve and one o’clock last night. O. his virtues, we cannot now speak with any prospect of ren dering justice to one whom an acquain'anceof lime more than two years, had endeared to us as a brother.
