siong the announcements in this
day's paper will be found the name of
Frank Brown, for the office of District
Clerk. Mr. Brown is so well known in
this community, where he has been reared
from his childhood, that nothing but cus-
tom. would warrant us in saying a word
in! his favor. He possesses every qualifi-
cation for the office which he seeks, while
in the generous and noble impulses of
a man he has no superior. Between him-
self and Mr. Costley, the present worthy
incumbent, the race will be closely con-
tested. .s /? *'

_ Decree er Amnesty.
Mr. Migu<^ T. Tolan, a Cuban exilo

following translation of the royal decree
of amnesty recently issued by the Queen
of Spain, in presenting which he says:—

did we come forth to make a show of

downtrodden rights, moral, religious and
political, as well as civil and commercial

ests, our degrading serfdom within sight
of the " home of the brave and the land

Tbe Nebraska BUI in Maine.
At a meeting held at Lincolnville,
Maine, on the 11th instant, the following
resolutions, among others, were adopted.
Resolved, That the bill now pending
in Congress, providing for the organiza-
tion of the territories of Nebraska and
Kansas, is, in our judgment, predicated
upon a true construction of the constitu-
tional powers of the general government
relative to slavery in territories; and is
in strict accordance with the compromise
measures, so called, of 1850, and with
the principles and doctrines declared by
the two great political parties in their na-
tional conventions of 1852. It is theo-
retically and practically democratic; it
rccognizes and affirms the sovereignty of
the States, and the right of the people
thereof to regulate and control their own
domestic affairs in their own way," sub- [dissatisfaction
ject only to the constitution of the United • Ne cg.
States."
President Walker Coming to Tex-
as.—We see a communication in the|New
York Herald from San Diego, stating
that some fifteen of Walker's men had
arrived at that place on the 21st of
March, and giving the information that
only about sixty men remained with
Walker, who had determined to abandon
the "New Republic." A later letter,
dated March 25th, says four more *f
Walker's men had turived at San Diego,
who stated that Walker was about to
start with forty of his best men and offi-
cers for Texas, hoping to avoid being ar-
rested. Capt. Snow who ran away with
the brig Caroline, was with him. So
says the letter, if they succeed in getting
past the Apache and Mexican forces, the
good people of Texas will have a band of
pirates in their midst. Walker attributes
his downfall to the Portsmouth an<
lumbia appearing off the coast, whose a]_
pearance produced alarm and-~the first
- among his m$a,—Gal.

Anecdote of Charles Lamb.—The
following is an original " Lamb," and
was, we believe, picked up. by fields, the
poet. Charles was once traveling in the
vicinity of one of the English watering pla-
ces, in company with several ladies, one
of whom, more remarkable for prudery
than good taste, took occasion to call
forth the polished satire of the wit, after
this fashion:
" Dear me, Mr. Lamb, that's wry
shocking!"
" W—wh—what, Madam?"
" Why,--there!— down oa the
those boys—bathing."
Charles looked—and saw somi
dozen little urchins gamboling in nul
and unconcealed delight, along the spar-
ling sands, and thus rebuked his nastier
companion:
"B—b—boys? those are g—g—girls,
Madam, are they not?"
"Why, Mr. Lamb! no—I assure you
they are boys!"
"Are—are—they? Ah? well, ex-—c

voice, which proved to be Susanna Rus-
