ALL HAIL D.

Tho Torie1 are not only beaten--they are
annihilated and of their late proud army, not
even a corporal's guard remains. The Wings
have for the first time carried counties that have
given the Tories large majoritics from the time
beyond which the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary. Every county which the Tories
carried away from the wings last year, has been
redeemed, and more than redeemed our MAORI
ties in such counties beng treble and quadruplc
what it was before. Only two counties, with
the city Of Baltimore, remain to the Administra.
ton, out of twenty-five of which the State is
composed, and they retain even those by greatly
diminished majorties. On the whole, the wing
victory just achieved in Marland, may be con-
sidcred as one OF the most signal and overwhel-
ming Of any that we have yet recorded. The
land Of Howard ard Williams, of Barney, Rogers
and Decatur, has spoken, and the tyrant Of the
White House, and the fawning sycophants by
whom he is surrounded, are again warned that
the "peop'e will cast them out"

LEGISLATURES,

We publish to-day the proceedings Of our
Legislature in detail--for which we are indebted
to the columns of Walton's Daily Journal.--
These proceedings, though Of no especial i'm.
p%ortance, are yet highly satisfactory-to every
wing, at least.
The official canvass it will be observed, tallies
extremely well with our announcement Of the
result of the election. by our table of returns
we made Gov. tensions majority over Dilling-
ham 1850. It turns out to be 1O,70S. We
allowed the Lokies 55 votes in the House and
it seems they have mustered 81, one or two of
whom however will not be enabled to keep their
seats. The sitting member from Waterbury
has been reported against by the committee, and
will have to give place to the wing claimant,
Wm. w. Wells. This will give a wing or
ganization to Washington county, and leave
Lamoillc the only county in the state with a
Locofoco majority in the Legislature. In the
Senate, Locofocoism, numbers two advocates,
who are pretty generally unanimous in their
votes!
The canvass of votes for Congress, it will be
seen results in the election Of the entire wing
delegation. HALLS majority 2790, SHADES
5000, EvERETr's 1888, Young's 1903, Mattocks'
1873.
Governor Jennison's message is decidedly the
best paper of the kind he has ever sent to the
Legislature. 1t is repletc with that sound
practical common sense view ofthings for which
His EXcellency is distinguished, and his views
of the various subjects upon which he touches,
are expressed with peculiar clearness and force.
We cannot too warmly recommend to the read
cr's attention that portion of it relative to the
cvrrency, banks, &c. 1t is indeed refreshing,
after SO long areign Of empiricirm and quack-
cry, to hcar this subject discussed with that
fearless directness and honesty which should
ever characterize documents of this kind, and
with an ability commensurate with the impor-
lance of the subject. His Excellency's sug-
gestions, also in reference to the criminal code
Ito a geological survey, and other minor topics,
will, we are persuaded, meet with a hearty
response from the legislature and the people.
Some little observation of the practical opera
ton of the law relative to inferior crimes, has
long since satisfied us that it was materially
defective. In a vast majority Of these cases, I'M
der the present system, the punishment falls
with more severity upon the public than upon
the culprit,

MAINE.

We have been well aware that the legisla-
ture of Maine, now in session, would attempt to
carry out some measure to save them from their
destiny of defeat. 1t appears that they have
already seriously changed the election laws,
opening a wide door to fraud. The new law
permits unorganized Places or Plantations to
vote pretty much where they please, and with
out much, if any, examination as to their rights.
1t also throws open the British dominions upon
Maine. 1t is, as it has been justly denominated,
virtually "a bill to secure the vote Of Maine to
Van Buren,, by double or treble voting, in the
woods, and by New Brunswick trespassers in
the disputed territory" This law will subject
The Wings of Maine to great care and expense,
in guarding the right of suffrage, or if advantage
is I taken of it, to profit from it as well as the enc.
my. They are not In a temper now to be out
ragged with impunity.

THE NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY.

A a few days since we met with a gcntlcmaa from
the State of Maine, who informed us that on the 9th
ult. a party of surveyors under Capt. A. Talcott, U.
5: Commissioner, left Canaan. Vt. for the head waters
of Connecticut river, for the purpose of tracing the
sources Of the Magalloway river. A branch Of the
party, to which our informant belonged, proceeded
through Bury, and are now examining the sources OF
Arnold river, at the head of Megnntic Lake, where
they expect to meet their companions from the head
of the Connecticut.
They are then to proceed along the dividing high.
lands TO the kcnnebec road. Another party under
Professor Renwick, have proceeded to the Rcs,igouche
agreeable to the treaty, and expect to meet the first
party, in the vicinity of the Kennebcc road. A third
party, under Major Graham. is employed in running
the meridian line from Mars ill.-Stcrbrook Jour
