THE BY JULIAN A. SELBY. The Conservative Press and the Go? vernor. Mi:. Editoi:: Some of the Democratic newspapers in our State seem bent on ruining us, by lauding Governor Cham? berlain for the course lie lias pursued since Governor. If they would take one moment to reflect on the consequence of such praise, they would certainly re? main silent. Nothing will more surely defeat Governor C, not only in the next election, but his usefulness the balance of this term will be paralyzed, by the thoughtless praiso showered upon him lately for simply doing what he promised to do. Ho does not need this praise, nor does he desire it thus publicly expressed. It injures him with his party, and the rank and file of them already begin to say he has sold out to the Democrats. He can only bo useful to us as an honest , Republican, having the confidence of bis party. It is his party that need reform, and reform can come only through leading Republicans. It would be a great cala? mity if Governor C. should declare him? self a Democrat. It bas been proved, time and again, that neither the judicial nor executive department of a Govern? ment can contend successfully with the legislative. The Governor can do much good, but ho can't revolutionize the Legislature, if hounded on and bedaubed with fulsome praiso from the opponents oV his own party. It's very unfortunate to see sensible people giving expression to such propositions as that Governor C. can mako a successful combination with the Democrats and honest Republicans! Whenever it becomes known that the Democrats wish Governor C. re-elected, and are going for him in a body, from that moment his defeat is insured, and his usefulness destroyed. If he is a gen? tleman and an honest man, he needs no praise for acting like one; and if you will go and nsk him, he will doubtless tell you so; and if kept up, he will bo damned with faint*oraiKO. S. C. The Governor of Massachusetts has re? fused to interfere in the matter of Pome roy, the child-murderer, who is under sentence of death. The Governor does himself credit by resisting the appeals of the philanthropists, so-called. If capital punishment is to be continued in civilized lands, Pomeroy should die. The motive of the several murders com? mitted by him is not understood fully; but ho was sent to the penitentiary lor one or two of them, on account of his youth. Ho was pardoned out, and immediately returned to his favorite pursuit, committing one or two more murders. Now he is sentenced to be hung, and the benevolent people be? seech the Governor to commute his sen? tence. The Governor is right in leaving him to his fate. The safety of society demands thitt persons who commit deli? berate murder shall bo put out of the way, so that they can kill no moae peo? ple. If they ore sent to the penitentiary for life, they may bo readily set at liberty by the Executive under some error or caprice, and be thrown back \ipon the world to take other lives. The safety of society demands that some criminals shall bo put out of existence, and it is no satisfactory alternative to send them to prison for life. The sense of public safety is not satisfied as long as they live. Order and safety require that penalties for crimo shall be as nearly proportionate to the crimes as may be, and that those penalties shall be en? forced, not only as just, but as examples to deter others from the commission of crime. If we are to shed a tear over the wanderer, and lecturo him, and foed ' and lodgo him well, wo shall have a plenty of murderers, and we shall have many fino sinecures for rhapsodical moralists, and a new department draw? ing heavily upon the Government and increasing seriously the burthens of the people. Postm astbb-GkmebaXi Jewell. ?The present Postmaster-General has won the commendation of the press and public by the vigilant and practical manner in which he has superintended tho impor? tant department placed under his charge. He has shown decided capacity for the office, and has done a great deal to im f>rove the service and dispense with use ess and expensive forms. He has lately given a most thorough investigation of the business of the post offices in the large cities and of the postal car service, and perhaps understands the whole mat? ter better than any of his predecessors. He has also examined the work of tho elcrks under him, and ascertained the duties performed in various branches of the great department conducted by him. It is said that he found burthens very unequally distributed and compensation unfairly allotted?some positions with light duties having salaries attached to them exceeding thoso paid officers who performed very heavy and responsible services. A high opinion is entertained of Mr. Jewell's qualifications, and he is believed to be earnestly desirous to have justice done in all the branches of the Eostal service, and to afford overy possi le accommodation and facility to the public. He is regarded as one of the most competent men we ever had in the general post office. SBo to m20 PER DAY at Home. Terms free. Address G". Stinson'A Co., Portland, Maine.
