Vour committee would not recomtnpiid any tlolent or fanatical party meastirea in car- ryingout these principles. They would recommend a calm, decided and lempemte couree, auch an will meet the approval of very candid mind, keeping tne great nml fundamental qualifications of Jefferson in, view, in the selection of all cnmlidatca for the suffrage of a free people. With those qualifications prominent in every candi date, there ii no doubt of aucutss, provided ' the intoxicating influenceof the liquor traffic doea not interfere. But annum that in fluence interfere to defeat 'good men from being elected to any office, it will only prove the greater necessity for contiuund effort, and no disgrace to any candidate who mny be debated on the issue proposed. Your committee, are of opinion I lint in t'jll county there ia no dii'inct party issue, or party organization other than the tem perance or anti-tempernnce parly. Upon this issue ibe candidates were voted for at ihe last election, and upon this issue alone it ia proposed to enter the field again this year. Our candidate for representative last year lacked but one vote of securing his election, and our entire licket but ten votes. This your committee feel confident ia omiuo'is of good to the principles they advocate. They are assured, also, that in other parts of the Territory the same principle are .progressing and will ultimately pre vail. All of which is respectfully submitted by ike connnitt- The report waa adopted as the sensu, of this meeting. A ballot waa then taken for candidates for tlio offices named for the ensuing elec tion.

The committee on resolutions reported the following, which was adopted ! , Resolved, That whatever the enemies of prohibition may chooso to say of Ihe tri wmphofanliprohibilive principles in Maine, some of the signs of the times in her Leg islature do unmistakably indicate in the liiquor Bill Reported from the Judiciary 'Committee, which we find published in the Portland Advertiser of March lllh, and in Liquor Bill No. 2, subsequently proposed, may be read in the fact that notwithstand ing the violent denunciations which have been discharged upon .the original ''bill of .-Abominations" by many who have thus la Ibored to give tbe legislature the character iit at present seems to hold, yet no one has, sns yet been so bold as to propose to net side any of the principles so strenuously j And protractedly made the subject of bit-1 ter animadversions, as the bills aforesaid embody all the "object iooable" features of ft be oldj only .wiib ,liniiuitie8snd res-trio-jtions loading to partiality io their opera tion and application, and weitail with satin- j action these indications that the prohibition influence is still paramount to every other in Maine.

The Atlantic b'ings us four days later dates from Europe. Her news ia of tho highest interest. Simultaneously with the assurance which it gives us that peace, if not actually signed, is fully concluded and agreed upon, we receive the announcement of the birth of an imperial heir to the throne of France. This interesting event took place on Sunday, the 10th March, at a quarter past tliP e in the morning. The' sufferings of I lie Empress were very great, but at last accounts both mother and child were doing well. The young prince has re ceived the following names and titles : Napoleon Eugene Louis Jean Joseph, fils de France and King of Algiers. The birth of a prince has 'of course thrown the good people of Pans into extacios. It is said lhat the Emperor was so overcome by his emotions at the accomplishment of his long deferred hopes that he fell into a state of temporary syncope. It ia affirmed that despatches had been received by Commodore Watson directing him not to commence hostilities in the Baltic. - It appears from an official declaration of the Danish Minister, Yon Scheele, that our government has contented ioa prolongation of the obligations of the treaty whiuh is to expire on the 14th nl this month fur a fur ther period of i wo months that is to say, until titn 14th of June next. The object of hi extension is to give time for some di plomatic arrangement to be arrived at. One of our correspondents, writing from Rome, aavsthat the relations between Aus tria and Sardinia, which have not been very friendly since 1S48, are about to be placed on a more amicable footing, and as noon as peace is definitely concluded in Parts an Austrian ambassador is again to be accred ited to the Court of Turin. It is affirmed that Louis Napoleon is ac tively intriguing in the afrairaofopuin, wrh a .view to introduce such a government there as will further certain designs which he entertains in regard to Cuba. The KingofOude has been deposed, and his dominions annexed to the territories of Great Britain. By the arrival of the steamship Asia at this port we have three Have later inlelli- genje irom curope. tier news nas out very little importance, in order to pre vent the necessity of an extension of the armistice, it waa expected that the treaty of peaco would be signed on .Saturday, the 22d, or Monday, the 24tliof March. In case, however, me necessary lorrnsiiues could not be completed hy that time, the ar nustice would lie extended lo the olltli ot April. The prostration following upon the accouchement of the Empress hud atfirxt excited some anxiety, but at the last ac counts both mother and child were doing well. In his replies to the addresses of the Legislative and other public bodies, it will be seen that the Emperor has displayed his usual toct.'defining without reserve his po sition, and flattering the amour propre of the ' nation. One of our correspondents states that -the birth of the Prince has been turned to profitable account by the Rus sian Plenipotentiaries, in an effort lo weak en the cordiality of the ties which unite England and r ranee. So perceptible, lie adds, was the effect produced on the Empe ror's manner by the insidious approaches ol Count OrlofT.thal it gave great umbrage to Lord Clarendon. Prince Jerome was in a convalescent state. As was expected, the birth of an heirlo the Imperial throne has been followed by an amnesty to all political offenders who choose to return and take the oath of allegian'ce. Mr. Dallas has been presented to the Uueen, ana nan ueen lor- r . . i . . if . n...i - mally inducted in nts post. air. uiichhuhh had left for a short visit to Paris, and it was expected that he would return to this coun try by the steamer oi me iom ur wu ui April. ' .. The King of uenmaric openeo me jjanisn Chambers on the 1st, but no allusion is made in his speech to the question of the Sound dues. The ominous day, mean while, approaches when the treaty with thiscountry will expire. A letter from Ber- in. nub hshed in one of tne i.om.on papers, contains the following passage in reference to it : Tha Danish eovernment trusts lhat by getting a settlement accepted by the bulk of the nation of Europe now represented at this conference, it will compel the United States to accept ths same arrangement, on pain of seeing all Europe arrayed in wr against them. The official Danish journal lately said : "Slionld America attempt to i-sist this t.urom-an lawithe proposal now made by th Danish government, "all Eu rope would enforce obedienc and respect to it, and accept the war that would ihus be declared by the criminal attempt of the United States," (viz. to pass the souno without paying dues.)

Her disease was ' Lumbar Abscess, first caused by wet foet, at Ihe erit'eal period of life. Her suf ferings were unceasing, aud at regular and often returning periods they were excruciating. Her mind waa clear and her cnn-ciousueiw perfect to the last moment of lire, nickness developed more prominently her native excellencies, while it was apparently the means of leading her to Chrial. In health she hsd often renolved to be a Christian, but had as often been delrrred by the fear of re proach by her coinpaiiiona. WV'n sick and help less she saw and comou-d the folly of such fears. Vihe sought and prized religious conversation aud pniyer, and sprnt much t me in prayer, lamenting that she had neglected her duty in health. She endured her sufferings patiently and without mur muring, and said that God had done right iu remov ing her earthly prospects.
