Thursday morn'g Oct. 14. 52. Very pleasant. We were all up at 4 o'clk. to help Mr. McKie[?] off. He staid with us just[?] a week, & seemed well satisfied with his visit to Buckfield. He left Mrs. McKie[?] here who will return to N. York with Mrs Arrowsmith in about 2 weeks. Mr. Barnes has just straddled up to the door & notified me that I may have the pleasure of wheeling the soap grease up to the pot ash this forenoon. There is a mass meeting, a Liberal Democratic Mass meeting at Paris today. The Buckfield Band have gone over. All the Democratic Mass gatherings for Pearce[?] & King, in this State, have been failures. The people feel no enthusiasm in the canvass for President.

Their late treatment of the commanders of the steam ship Crescent City, & of the American Bark[?] Cornelius[?], needs to be inquired into; & if it be found they have abused our Flag[?], & will not make due acknowledgement & reparation of their wrong, the U.S. Authorities must cuff their ears til[?] they will behave properly, that is all. ---
