MAINE ELECTION.

The election in Maine has resulted
in the success ofthe Administration tick
ct. We have been aware for some
weeks past, (says the Boston Gazette,
Of the extraordinary exertions Of the
Administration party. According to
accounts from Maine, immense sums of
money have been circulated to procure
votes, and the vast patronage of the
Govevment has been applied to influ-
ence the election An unusual number
OF votes has consequently been cast
Still, we did hope that Maine would
have stood fast to the patriotic princi-
pies declared by her in 1887. She has
disappointed both parties in this respect
and has gone back for a season, to join
tho existing powers at Washington.
The Wing party of Maine, however,
has not been annihilatcd. Defeated
they have been on this occasion, but
they do not despair. They are still
strong in the faith, and powerful in
numbers. Temporary defeat will but
have the effect to fortify their good re-
solutions, and induce them to rcdouble
their efforts for the next campaign. If
they have been too confident Of their
this reverse may have the saluta-
ry effect of causing them to rally with
sufficient energy, to put down their op-
ponents at the next election, and ena-
bic them to triumph at the great presi-
dental election of 1910. Thus far, Of

The Boston Atlas, has come out in
favor Of Gen. HARRISON for the Presi-
dcncy, on the ground that the General
is more popular with the PEOPLE than
either Clay or Webster. The editor
expresses his views at some length on
the subject, at the same time asserts his
willingness to abide by the decision Of
a National Convention.-We trust the
Wing party throughout the country
will be united in This determination, let
which will be nominated for that high
office.
As to the popularity of Mr.. Clay we
beg leave to differ wholly with the Atlas,
and shall improve the first conven-
lent opportunity hereafter to state the
grounds of that difference. The editor
states that the course he has taken has
created much surprise in Massachu-
sctts.--We do not wonder that it should
have had that effect there, as well as
in every other part of the country
where that ably conducted journal cir
culates.

The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
of Tuesday, contains the following arti-
Gle respecting the recent kidnapping
affair.
TIE ABDUCTION CAsE.-Wc UNDER
stand that the grand jury, now in ses-
sion, has undertaken to investigate the
affair of the two Frenchmcn, Marsaud
and Raimond, about which there has
been so much controversy. This is as
it should be (; and we hope that the in
vestigation will be complete and thor
ough. 1t is to be hoped that all the
parties heretofore charged, or supposed
to be implicated, as well as all who can
throw any light upon the matter, will
be summoned to attend and that all
the facts may be got out. We have
heard it intimatcd that an effort will be
made to give the affair tacist in par
ticular direction but we trust that no
such attempt will be countenanced by
the grand jury, if made. The case de-
mands a full and fair investigation, no
matter on whom the consequence may
fall.

THE PRosPEcT.-In casting the eye
round the political horizon, it would
seem little less than iniatuation on the
part Of the Sub-Treasuryites that they
should think of succeeding. How
stands the case What is the political
aspect of several States /? We shall
see.
Decidedly Whig.-Massachusetts,
Rhode-Island Connecticut, Vermont,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee,
North Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi
in all fourteen States, giving l38
electoral votes.
Decidedly Loco Foco.-Missouri, Ala
bama, New Hampshire, South Carolina
in all four States giving 90 electoral
votes.
Probably Uhig or Conserratire.--New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maine,
Virginia-in all five states giving 10
electoral votes.
Debateable Siaies.-Georgia, Arkan-
sas, Michigan-three, giving II cleo
toral votes.

science could do for the Sub-Treasury

in the history of the Drama in this coun-
try. The theatre was taken by her
with the understanding that pcrsonages

In consequence of this arrangement,
the citizens of Albany, place famous
for its rigid adherence to morals, at
tended the theatre in unusual numbers,
and Miss ID. by her unaided exertions,
without any company whatever to assist
her, cleared in eight nights the sum of
nearly $4,000. We mention the above

our theatres, but only as demonstra-
ton of the correct moral feeling which
pervades as we believe, every portion
