In our last conceded the probability that
Cumberland district in Maine, would choose an
Adams clector We then supposed the State Sc
material district and the electoral district conpre-
hended the same territorial limits. But shortly
afterwards informed by letter from,
Portland, that the senatorial district includes six
towns more than the electoral, and that in these
six towns there was an Adams majority OF between
two and three hundred votes. This statement is
confirmed by the Eastern Argus. The returns
from the electoral district show actual majority
for the Jackson candidates, and we understand men
OF the highest character there consider il certain
. Jackson elector will be chosen. Taking the ac.
tual results OF a contested election the test we
should he authorised TO claim This district as GER
family for Jackson. Such close votes, however do
not authorize certain claim by either party; and
all we feel disposed 10 say is that Cumberland dis
'rict is doubtful while the chance is in favor Of
Jackson. BoSton Jackson Republican.
in giving publicity 10 the following letter we
well aware that such productions hut too fire.
Tucntiy the fruit Of party zeal, with limited
means of observation, and less judgement-ihe re-
ted hopes. We are not generally disposed 10 as
ciibe TO them the least importance.
The letter in question, however, comes from
quarter entitled TO much respect, and having ac-
cess to the most intelligent and authentic sources
OF Information, and in confidential relations with
the leading men ofhis party The names indicated
oy stars, are also men commanding confidence.
We are inclined 10 think the anticipaions are en-
titled TO much credit at least proceeding from
men of the best information the subject, and
whose opinions arc sincere

The scaffolcng and shed which have so long
conc called from the public eye the 'ymPahu','
Of the Capitol have al length been iemote''
and the lover Of the fine arts canno. ou' oe "u
ly gratlfed with the beautiful production OF ."e
chisel which has been disclosed. Mr.. fetsieo
has shown himself 10 be an artist oil the S"Pe,
rior class, and by the admirable execution OF
the group, has given the utmost etfeci 10 az
sign as chaste and eloquen, az ever entered 10,
10 the imagination Of man. The central and
principal figure represents the genius OF -
merica, designated by the appropriate emniem'
about her, and the bird OF love at her feet. On
her lelt, Hope, directs the attention oil me ue'
MUS to the bright prospects which open 10 ner'
while the latter, pointing to The majestic hg :
ure on her right, representing Justice, lndi-
Gates the righteous restraint which pure mo
rality has created TO regulate the conduct OF ma
tons well as men. The beautiful IDEA
stands be fore US in a form classic as the con-
oeppiou which originated it, and eeya'es 10 a
kindred fame the designer and the artist.
All the figures or The group are gigantic, be-
ing about nine feet in height. A perfect sym
me,rv has been given to the forms, and the
attitudes are at once graceful and expressive
Viewed with the eye OF an anatomi,,, the mi
nuter parts Of the human structure are develop
ed with disiinctness and truth which, while
il 'displays the labour which the artist has dl-
rected to The production Of these details, exhi-
bits also the extent and correctness OF his SCI
entiEc requirements. In The drape'ics OF the
figures there is great felicity OF execution; the
| fune IS, the folds and flow Of the mantle exhlo-
| il surprising excellence. The eagle will,
however, be regarded as the chef d'9uvre OF
the artist. Great labo! has been exhausted in
tha, requisite finish necessary 10 produce the
fca,hery effect which Instantly strikes the eye
of the spectator. The attitude also is striking
| " true TO nature; and the symmetry OF the bird
is the mos, perfect of any we have seen.
Tie time most advantageous Tor the exami-
nauon Of this piece OF sculpture is when the
sun is not so elevated as 10 throw the shadow
ofthe broad cornice which surmounls the tym-
ranum over the group.
We par, with regret from Mr.. Persico. AS
An artist and man, he is entitled TO our SIM
rere respect and admiration. Ii would give US
pleasure to see his future services put in rtqui
siion 10 execute those pieces OF sculpture
which are still necessary 10 complete tie ori-
ginaI design OF the architect who planned the
building. Mic hes and pedestals still remain to
be occupied by select specimens OF statuary
and Judging from the success with which Mr.
Prrsico has executed the group oil the tympan
um, we are OF the opinion that no individual
could be found to whom the completion OF this
part Of the original design could be more prop
erly and advan,ageously entrusted.
