10 WING TRIUMPH in MAINE. -ct
From The New York Daily Express
THE GREATEST VICTORY YET.
THE SUNRISE is coMISc--rHE DAY BREAKS.
MAINE is OIIRS.

THE SUNRISE is coMING--rHE DAY BREAKs.
MAINE is OURS.
If Rhode Island deserved thousand guns,
the Wings of Maine have won whole park Of
artillery at least. As well versed in the politics
OF Maine, as in the streets by our doorway,
we did not believe il possible for the Wings
there TO achieve victory, though we knew full
well their mettie and spirit, and have seen them
resisting hordes Of Office Holders quartered up
on them for years, with an energy and enthusi-
asm worthy of Spartans in Spartas best day.
Of the battle they have had 10 fight, no man
can form an idea, unless he is or has been a
dweller 10 Maine; for from Kittery, on the bor-
ders of New Hampshire, to the Passamaquod-
dy, on the Bay OF Funday, every nook and In
let of this rock-bound sea coaet is infested with
Pr@toranguard of Custom House OfIiceHold
ers, which guard has other sentinels that stretch
into the great interior, from Houlton on the
verge Of the Military Road to New Brunswick,
and along the Canada line till other New Eng
land States meet again. These Office Holders
are drilled into the New York system Of Re-
gency tactics, and were in n concert as unani-
nous, and compact as firm as the Macedoni-
an Phalanx of old, while they have 20 back
them all the Sherffs and the Deputies, all the
Mail Contractors and the Post Offices, and
that horde of State Officers which State so
powerful, with Public Domain so extensive,
must necessarily have.
! Aware of all these tremendous obstacles in
the way of the Wings Of Maine, we looked
upon their struggle but as an effort of chivalry,
and their stormng of this Gibraltar Of the Al,
ministration but as foriorn hope, the result
to be certain defeat. We hoped and we sym
pathised with them, but as we dared not think
oil victory, we have done all we could 10 damp
EN- over-wrought expectations. We must con-
fess that we are astounded by the magnitude
and brilliancy Of this political victory. II was
: as unexpected as it is glorious and important.
/ ir SETTLES THE DESTINY OF THE ADMITS
TRATIor, and of their Loco Foco Head, Mr.
but minority of the People when il came into
power, cannot withstand the loss of so great q
! prop Us its Maine-stay in the East. For seven
years under General Jackson il has been theirs,
and in the first year Of Van Bnren il has been
{ lost! The victory comes in a time most OPP
perfume. IL ought TO be welcomed in every
town with the loudest demonstrations of Joy
II is declaration which proclaims, there must
be reuoiuiion in The Measures, the Policy,
and Of the Public Men Of the eight years past,
and as such, every Merchant, Trader and Me-
chanic of city, every Farmer and Manuiactu-
rer Of the country ought 10 rejoice over il as
over an escape from War, Pestilence and Fam
inc.
