V.D. Paris, Democrat, is elected to Con.
press from the Oxford District, Me. by small
majority.

Is. The bursting Of Nick Eidd!e's letters, by
the resumption Of the Banks in the east, shows
.ha, the Government is yet in the hands ofthc
people, and proves TO the Federal party that
their zeal for tho establishment of a National

she people were entirely in the clutches of the
Banks. Had they waited longer. the Banks
might have been able to carry the sway, by
the increase Of their power. Eild'e's spell
has been broken. Congress could not be for
cad to grant aid to the Banks until the time
specified in the act Of the Legislature of Now
York, allowing the suspension expired, the
Banks have resumed, and Eidd!e will soon
stand "solitary and a'one," stripped Of his
once great influence.
