RECApITULATION
Wing. V. b. Wing. v. B.

I'VE have put these down vacancies for the
present because we have no certain information of
the results of the election. 1t however appears
probable that Joshua Lowell V. b. is reelected in
the 9TH district and V. b. man will of course be
elected in the st the failure to elect at the first trial
having resulted from the fact that there were two Van
Buren, candidates.
Showing nett wing gain, compared with the pre-
sent Congress, of II members; which makes a DIFF
ference of "a in the relative strength Of parties
One hundred and two members are yet to be chosen
Total PAP.
The present House of Representatives comprises
lis Wings and IA Van Buren, men, The States
above mentioned, have elected SO Wings and 81 Van
Buren, men the next Congress; and if the remain
ing States send men of the same politics as before,
the House will comprise 1874 Wings and l06Van Buren,
men leaving the wings majority of 2S in the House
md "A on Joint ballot. The chance Is that they will
have larger majority than this, rather than small
err At any rate they may calculate with entire con-
fdencc upon clear majority in both Houses, and OF
course in JOINT ballot.
Among other important results from these fac's,
not the least is that the immense batch of appoint
mcnta which NAV be expected will be made 10y The
new President will, in all ordinary cases, meet with
ready concurrence of the Senate, whose sanction IS
necessary in order to render them valid.

EAsrEnLy SToRM; OCEAN SWELL, &c,-Tho cas-
terly storm that as prevailed for many days has
created an unusual tide and done much injury TO the
lower wharves and the property upon them. Ii has
caused aremarkable swell in the bay, which has risen
six feet above Nahnnt beach, where the surgcs are
dashing over the rocks in awful majesty; whilst Mt
great Nathan they have thrown their spray over the
b llrd room, besides carrying stones of considerable
size as far as the fields in the vicinity of the cottages
of Messrs, Sears and Crowninsheld The effects of
the storm at the peninsula have been distinctly visible
with good glass from some parts of the city, pre-
senllng sublime spectace and large parties have
gone TO view ITS effects upon the beach, where thou
sands OF fish have been driven ashore from their storm
disturbed caverns.
In the harbor, II is thought that much damage has
been done 10 the islands, particularly at Green Island
where i is feared that two dwelling houses have been
washed away. The fishing craft have been unable to
put out and have had no fish market for eight days
an occurrence Of scarcely one in twenty years, and

wing is the result

The Portland Advertiser whose editor has
been severe sufferer in the contest, thus speaks
with reference to the great victory just achieved
And now that we are victorious, and have contrib
uted our full proportion in favor of change of admins
traon, let us use our triumph in the spirit of men
with firmncss and yet with moderation with justice
and yet with mercy-wth faithfulness towards our
selves, and with tolerance towards those who are not
of our faith and order. BY just administration of
atiars-by prudential policy in regard to all questions
of controversy-bv basing the State and National
Administrations upon the Republican Platform of
seeking ''the greatest good of the greatest number,
we hope to win over that great multitude who have
opposed us, only because they have not known the
men and the principles around which we rallied The
wand of the magician is now broken-tho charm dis
pelled-thc deceivers deceived, and the power to
deceive weakened, if not ouslled. The arrows of
knowledge have pierced the darkened understanding
Of men,. Truth has been more potent than false
hood and we como forth from the furnace of fire,
like gold seven times purified. Honor then to Maine,
for the which seemed to be sinking amid clouds
and darkness, has risen in all the promise and bright
ness of noon day glory. Honor to NIaine--her Pco-
pie are true-her Principles triumphant Honor 20
Maine! Peace be within her bordcrs-wsuom and
Justice in her councis-he spirit of contentment the

May prosperity and happiness be the result of our sue.

ADJOURNMENT,

The Tip Club held its last meeting for the sea-
son on Monday evening, and adjourned to the
4th of March, unless sooner specially convened
We had some excellent speeches from Messrs
Marsh, Russell, &c-fine singing by the choir,
and lots of good feeling and fun. The house
was crowded, and we could not, for the life OF
us, discover any Of that abatement" or "dying
away" that was prophecied some months ago.
But, while there was joy in every countenancc,
there was nothing OF Boosting or cxultaton
The wings we are persuaded will bear their hon.
ors meeky and while they joy in the result
they will also rejoice that the time has come
when the community may with propriety lay
aside the subject Of politics, and attend to other
matters,

We have just received the following lasty
sketch of the For Chase, from our friend Ma
jor Downing. The numerous incidents attend
ing such chase would require, no doubt, more
time and space than he could give it, especially
as he has other occupations, and has not the
ranking power. The first report of victory is
generally brief-the details are left for more
quiet moments:

CORRECTION.

The Sentinel says that 45 Wings from abroad
voted in this town at the late election. This is
not the fact. On turning to the Clerks record,
we find that 70 persons from out Of town voted
OF these, as are loco focos, 1S wings, and 8
whose politics are not known. So that if none
but our own inhabitants had voted, our majority,
instead Of being Ia, would have been h.
This, to be sure, is a matter of little conse-
qucnce; but, inasmuch as the Sentinel aludes
to the subject for the purpose of conveying the
impression that our majority had fallen off since
September, it is well enough to set it right. Sc
far as the town is concerned, we had gain Of
10 votes.

THE MAJORITY.

There is no longer room to doubt that Yer
mont has won the prize. Rhode Island and
Delaware--the only serious competitors VIC
have hid Ithus far--arc left entirely in the back
ground. The majority in Rhode Island is only

while ours is fraction over 90 1-2. Our friend

THE RESULT.

From present indications, we shall have to va
ry the figures a little in our electoral table of
last week. In that we conceded Mr.. Van Bu-
rem 81 votes; but it now seems almost reduced
to certainty that he has lost nine of thenl-l
in Mississippi, and 5 in Illinais--which would
reduce him to %, and give Gen. Harrison l75
majority. Our majority in the popular vote will
overgo an hundred thousand! If Mr.. Van Blu
rem should lose Arkansas and Alabama, we will
admit it next week; but we are quite too modest
to suggest any such reduction, at present.

BREAKING GRoUND FOR lSi5.-The defeated party
is breaking up, and several portions moving away
to some attractive point. One part, the "out and
cutters" real Loco Focos are for placing Thomas II.
BESToN strongly before the people the candidate of
that party for the Presidency. This is fair start
Mr. Benton deserves much at least he the ball
in motion he It that started the kind of warfare in
which the party has been engaged; and though de-
ealcd, it owes to him the consequence which il has,
in defeat This branch of the party are loud and
deep against Governor Porter, upon whom they
charge defeat-upon him to whom they owe at least
from 5000 to 1000 votes in this state, and the inhu-
encc of these votes in other states.

ready sgnhed their determination to rally round Gen

tam that distinguished officers views on the subject
so that the party, which seemed rs firm, as tight and

1t is probable that little will be heard of a consider
