‘The Liquor Riot in Maine. PiBst FRUITS OF THE COERCIVE MEASURES TO BNEOBCE THE LAW TO ABOLISH THE SALE OF LIQUOR. The folle Acrount of a riot which occurred at Frantfort, Malas’ on the 4th instant, is given in an spice fromthe office of the Republican Journal, spab! at Belfast, Maine:— SROUSLES UNDER THE LIQUOR LAW—-RESISTANCE TO AN AT+ ‘TEMPT TO MAKE SEIZURE ON BOARD THE STEAMER BOSTON “WGEVERAL MEN WOUNDED—DETENTION OF THE BOAT, AND RREST OF THE OFFICERS AND CREW, 'e have to record the first violent attempt to ‘Besist the seizure of liquors which has occurred vander the new law in the State. The facts, as we Jearn them from sources deemed the most reliable, ‘are a8 follows:—Some men in Boston consigned a Quantity of liquor to some persofs in Penobscot “County. As wo learn, a part ot the consignoes were licensed to sell under the now law. The liquor was sent down to Frankfort, (now the head of Penobscot navigation, steamer Boston, and it arrived there on Wedersda morning. Oa leavi the ‘boat, the captain, (Thomas Suadford,) gave direo- tions to land no freight, (or, at least, the liquor,) until the freight charges were paid; and he himself ‘went to Bangor. The friends of temperance in Frankfort, who are emost active in enforcing the law, took out war- rants, which were put in possession of Deputy Sheriff Miles Staples, with directions to seize the liquor. With some of the friends of the temper- ance law, he proceeded to the boat, where he was told by the mate (Mr. McNally), of the directions of the captain, and was requested to suspend ope- rations until Thursday morning We are told that they were permitted to examine the liquor, and that they then left the boat, whether with any show of resistance we do not know Early on Thursday morning, the officers anda Yarge number of voluntary assistants again ap- ared. Mr. Loomis Taylor, the agent of the oat at Bangor, was then present. The captain had not returned. ‘There was another request to delay until his return. A determination was made on the part of the boa ’s mea not to sufferthe liquor to be removed, but the party for the seizure com- menced in some form an attempt to take tho liquor. A general melee ensued, in which the Teadiest weupons at hand wero used very freely. ‘There ‘are various rumors as to which party com- mitted the first actual violence, after whish the fight became general. All such weapons as were ready at hand were used. The general result was that the friend: oftemperance were beaten off, and theliquer was not taken. Offiver Staples was very severe y injured. so that his recovery is deemed to De doubtful. Also Mr. Win hase: of Frankfort, ‘who was last evonipg reported to be dead; also a man by the name of Carltun, understood to be in- jured; and on the other si io, one or two of the boat’s crew. Soon after theso proceedings, the Boston started on her return voyage io Boston. Anexpress had come from Frankfort to this place with war- . ants for arrests onboard the 6. On her arrival, at 3 o'clock, she was boarded by High Sheriff Wm. Rust, and Dep. Sheriff HH. W. Canningham. No diseovery of tl ersons Was at first made, and the search scemed on the poiat of being discon- sinued. Tho boat swung {row the wharf with Mr. Rust stillon board, demanding a more thorough search and the detention of tne’ boat. Officer Can- ningham again went on board, and Mr. Rust ask- ed for an additional foros, (as there were a ve Appearances of resistance,) but no one went. The beat parted her stern line and wont down the bay achort distance. But by order of the offisers she returned to the wharf. [he men were dissovered, and after much mancouvring, but ao violense,were arrested in the evening. + Capt. Sandford has given boil for $5,000. The mate and crew are ia the jal The captain has eptored a protest against the detention of his boat, ‘which cannot goon. Most of the passengers have gone on via Waterville. The crew aro to have an examination to-morrow morning:—W. Da- vis, Eeq., for the prosecution; A. T. Pal- mer, and W. G. Crosby, Ksqrs., for the defence. Mr. Loomis Taylor, tae agent of the boatat Bangor, is arrested 1s is reported—how truthfully we know not—that Mr. T. ordered the crow to resist to extremities. Tas liquor has been seized at this place, and all taken from the boat. ‘The legal bearings of the whole matter, those who are familiar with the law must ju for them- selves. Great excitement still prevails, though it is to be bi that the affair may end without any further violence dangerous to kuman life. The or Daily Mercury, of tae Sth, in al- luding to affair, says :— The present liquor law is a stringent law, so much so, that at the first it was mot believed it would be sustained. By prudent management, it has succeeded in this city, and is popular, and is doing great good. Is it not better, under this law, to avoid all cases whore there is @ uestion about legal rightse—to keep within the letter of the stutute ravher than overstrain it and arouse the opposition of many who are its advocates? We are afraid there is a 2 that is not according to knuwledge, and, asi from tho immediate eviis resulting from t! affray at Frankfort to the imumediate part we deprecate the sad affair on acc vant of its he ovs tendency to the law itseif The law has nm continuously enforced in this city. Large quanti ties of liquors have been taken trom the storehouse of the steamer Boston, and 00 oppos'tion been made on the part of the officers or agent of the boat. Everything has been conducted gentlemacly on both sides, and it is somewhat singular that at the ver, Grst landing of the same swawer at Frankfort, this dreadful affair should have ensued the blame is in this affair we shail endeavor to speak out boldly, nor shall we screen any o; whatever his position or un whichever side he has acted. } There wasarumoria the city last evening that one of the injured men wat dead, bat it ves in- correct, and it is probable that there willbe no loss of life. Tho Boston loft Frankfort at 12 o'clook, and on arriving at Belfast, oficers tus: and Cunningham went on board to make arrests. The captain, mate, and crew wero arrested, aud Capt. Sandford ave bail in the sum of $5,000 The boat was tl a L sens and great excitement prevailed at Belfast. Loomis Taylor, the agent of the boat, was ar- rested in ths city last night, and taken to Bolfast this morn! In order thyt the whole matter, may be better understood, We append a synopsis of the Maine Liquor law :—It provides, 1s', 24, and 3d. Taat no person shall be allowed te sell intoxicating liquors, unless appointed to do #0 by the select men of the town, and Mayor, &c., of tne city, “/or mechani- chal and modicinal purposes. and no other, unless such appointees gives a bond acd surities, ia the penalty of $400, not to sell for other purposes. 1 aay person, clerk or agent, sells, ountrary to the above provision, he shall forfeit on the lat convic- tion $10 and coste, on the 24 $2) and costs, and on Sd and every subsequent conviction $20 and aod imprisonment not less than three months, re than six months 5.

About ten o'clock last evening we stepped into & pretty extensive laundry on High street, carried on by Celestials. At the pag first glance we were impressed with the order and system observable in the establishment. ‘Those who were at work geome us with a ‘‘chin-chin” as we entered, and kept on with their work. A grave looking Celestial atatable » great deal like pine, inditing a letter to a San Francisco correspondent. From a glance at the letter, wo thought thare was considerable character init. Still another Celestial drew a bench towards the table, and kindly motioned us to a seat. He had, of course, a shaved head—and thereby hangs a tail. ‘¢ subsided into the seat, or rather upon it, and took a eral survey. What a truly ipdustrious people they are. At work, cheerfully and briskly, at teno’clock at night. Huge piles of linen and under clothing disposed in baskets around the room, near the different ironers. Those at work dampen- ing and ironing—poet both. A bowl uliar proce! of water is standing at the ironer nary laundries, but used very di ly; instead of dipping the fingers in the water and then snapping them over the clothes, the operator puts his head in the bowl, fills his mouth with water, and then blows so that the water comes from his mouth in a mist, resembling the emis- sion of steam from an escape-pipe, at the same time so directing his h: that this mist is scattered all over the piece he bout to iron; be then seizes his flat iron.

Thus they “keep the iron hot,’ without running toa fire every five minutes, and alate on the iron to ascertain by the ‘ siszle” if it be ready to use. This jecning machine pasa long handle, and is propelled without di burning the fingers by the slipping of the “ironi: rag” Ladies who use the ordinary flat iron appreciate the imprevement. peg eee enh ore yen Port. (from the Alte Oot. 81. We have now in our harbor two wwhalere, the Nile and the Russell, belonging to and fitted out from this port, and their voyages are proof suffi- cient that must become the great depot of the whaling bovizes in the Pacific. The Nile, Captain James Taylor, lett this port sat of in May last for the Arotic sea ; ed the Straits in July ; extended her cruise as far north as lat. 68 deg., encountering the worst weather almost ever known in those tudes, duri+g the gales and storms which wrecked or disabled nearly the on- tire whaling fleet, and succeeded in obtaining some six hundred barrels, whilst almost everything spoken was clean ; and after rum the gauntlet feduchs, Eringing'v ectch, although comparstively ly Ly a » althor comparative! i, stil coast in value to two thoamiad barrels in New Bedford.

So much for San Francisco whalers. They may —_ be eaid to have distanced the whaling fleet of the Pacific. We hope that the success which has attended there pioneer ships may be only the be- ginning of that kind of enterprise from this port, and that we may soon have to notice the departure and arrival of our semi-yearly fleast of whalers.

We rejoice to see the patriot and statesman, who is first in the hearts of bis countrymen, and justly endeared to the liberty loving people of every nd, Descended from patriots, who, on resolving to deliver themselves from a forei yoke, declared to the world that ail men are created ee, and are entitled to certain unelienable rights, among which arv life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, we honor him who promulgated asimlar sentiment in his own country when sur- rounded bon ap oe sentiment that should be writ- tenin fees le characters on the escutcheon of every nation under heaven. Every inhabitant, without re- garding language or religion: should be free and equal fore the iaw, and all classes have the seme privileges end protection from the law. It is our earnest hope that you may live to see the day when the God of the oppressed will prosper your patriotic efforts and the labore of the friends of liberty in both hemispheres in making these truths a practical realization, not only in Hungary, but in the United States of America, aud throughout the world. Your name, eir, will be associated in all time with the Eames of patriots in every country, who nave contended for the rights of man, for the downfall of caste, and the Overthrow of oppression. It must be to you a gratifying reflection, that on being elevated to the est post in Hungary. you struggled fairly and openly the rights of the Beople, and availed yourselt of the opportunity which God had given you, freely to propose, as a first the emaneipation of iberty must not be paid for”* ‘The Mag- yar race, influenced by your patriotism, your just ciation of human rights, and your eloquent exhestations? proved that they were not unjust to other races, that they did not strive alone for their own freedom, but for that of every Hungarian ; and the world has heard, from your own lips, that the moment they became free, and enjoyed their political rights, “they became just, and placed All things upon the basis cf om and perfect eq y.” Associated as we are to carry out, by constitutional and apes means, the great principles avowed before the civilized world by the founders of this republic, in their Declaration of Independence, we hail the pre- sence of a true son of liberty from a far distant land, who spoke to his own countrymen, and virtually to the peo- pe of every nation, these memorable words:—" You must strictly just, and seek your future greatness, not in the jominance of one race, but iu the perfect ejuality ofall!

The following address from the citizens of Newburg was then presented :— Newanuno, New Youx, Dec. 6th, 1851. To His Brcxitxncy Louis Kossurn, Govennon OF Huns : Bin—The citizens of Newburg, through us as their committe, reepectfully invite you to visit their towm, end address them and the people of the vicinity on the subject of Hungary and the great question of civil free- dom in Europe overned by the same foeliags ef un- bounded love and reverence that inflaence the entire mare of Our countrymen, we wish tobe honored by your prerence, and listen to your voice. But amid thecon- stant demande made upon your time, we should nardly expect to havefour wishes gratified, did it not ap- pear to us that our State furnishes no locality where am wppeal to the people could be made with so wach appre priateness and effect as from this. ; It seems peculiarly proper tozask you to “Washington's Headquarters,’’ as ite meet worthy occupant—to the spot ere he gave bis farewell address to the army; where he rejected with indigvation and scorn the offer ofa crown , where occurred the closing scene of our long re- voluticnary struggle ; where the Tundemental pri of our government were first disoussed and settied. The vole of the nation bas already piaced you with Washington and Latayette, and vents have conspired to render tbat decision more striking and emphatic. But two men have ever crosted the waters cf New York Bay, rurrounded with such marks of aifection, heralded by such shouts of welcome, and reecived with bun bounded enthusiasm ae qourelts first, Washington om bis way to New York, to instailed first President of this Republic , then Lafayette, when in 1824 he landed as the nation uest. The first was the representative | of freedom in this continent, the second of the same principle in France ; while you have been welcomed as the third representative, not merely of the principle of freedom in Hungary, but in central Europe, The na- tion's heart has moved to meet you as It did to meet them. and # the last of that immortal trio. we invite you to cur hearts; and here, amid the mementos and aaso- ciations of freedcm. on the spot hallowed by their foot- steps, to epesk. as from ® common centre of sympathy, rely to us but to the heart of the entire republio now that personal distinotion, in your view, simks into irsiguifiesnce before the ereat principle you repre. tent—a principle which, in the magnitude of its issucs and results, swallows up ell other interests of individuals or of nations, We therefore hope that the cause you plead will bring you inte our midst ; that om this conse- crated spot the apirite of Washington and Kossuth may commingle, aud send forth their waited in‘luence to elec- trify the land KOSSUTH'S REPLY Kosst 1m then replied as follows: —Gentiemen, I returm my most hearty thanks to you and those who have com- missioned you to do me this honor (which I highly value), for your generous sentiments and kindness, My memory is roused to the remembrance of what effects to man- kind’s liberty have been produced by your revolutionary struggle, when you recal to my mind that you have come from the head quarters of your great Washington. Iflam not mistaken in my recollection, we are within four days of the anniversary of bis death. The lith of December is the day on which Washington died That day ought not to bea day of mourning and sorrow, be - cause to die is the fate of every man, and Washington ‘was subject to the common fate of humanity as well as others, But to see a man die in his full age—going down the horizon as clear and pure ag he did, and had reavom todo, that is a ciroumstance that must fill with joy the hearts of such a people as yeuare Such, then, was the haio of glory that surrounded the desth of Warhington, that the anniversary of his departure from this fe is not a day of mouraing and sorrow. ‘The greatest merit of Washington is aot that he ees the offer of a coterie to accept the crown of the Voited Btates. [would rather be surprised if he had accepted it, for what vaiue isa crown toa free man—tos mam like Wash! . who wasthe great instrument in the hand of of making his country free’ What could ‘end glory as his? Therefore I do met tard eater qrestect deed of his life—there However, as the time and the
