THE RESULT OF THE MAINE ELECTION

THE Result OF THE MAINE ELECTION
Some considerable light is thrown upon
the result ofthe recent election in Maine,
by the following prophetic paragraph from
Report upon Erscutire Patronage, sub
mitted to the Senate in 1926, by commit
tee, Of which Martin Van Buren, was chair
man. When prophecies are fulfilled, it Of
ten happens, as in this case, that the fulfill
ment is principally brought about by the
contrivances of the very prophets who ut
tered them. The paragraph to which we
refer is as follows:
ave must look tor,0ard to the time '0hen
The public revenue oiH be doubled; 'chen the
civil and military officers Of the federal gor-
eminent ,riH be quadrupled; Ohen ats 'ntu-
ence orer individuals wiL be multiplied 10 an
indefinite ertent; ,uhen the nomination Of The
President can carry any man through the
Senate AND HIS RECOMMENDATIONS CAN CAR
RY ANY MEASURE THROUGH THE TWO HOUSES
OF CONGRESS-; ,chen the principle Of public
action viH be open and avo,ced-the Presi-
dent wants my vote, and want his patron,
age; wiH uote as he ,oishes, and he 'oitl
give me the Office / 'cish for.

THE Tory PARTY.-The following pic
ture of the Tories, though drawn for that
party as it exhibits itselfin the State oil
Georgia. will answer equally well for any
other State in the Union. We copy il from
the Augusta Sentinel.
Our opponents have no fixed principles
as a party, and being only b uad together,
as MIR Calhoun once forcibly said, "by the
cohesive power of the public plumber" are
always ready to unite upon any question
wlioh is likely to enable them to secure
power and office. Ten years ago the great
majority of that party were National Bank
men-three years ago they hailed and sup
ported, cn masse, the Pet Bank System as
a republican measure, and now they de-
nounce and Willy, "from Dan to Beershe-
ba," as sFederaliss, +" 'Arisiocrats," and
"Bank bought slaves" every man who
does not fall down and worship the Sub
Treasury as the only image of;rue repnb-
licauism! Through all these mutations
and variations they have always claimed to
be the only true democrats and republicans
in the Union. Whatever banner they rally
under is the banner of Democracy; what
ever livery they put on is the vestment of
pure repubicanism, and every man who
does not wear the same mothley and change
ling coat with themselves, becomes a "Bank
bought federalist!"
