1t is even so Since our last we have received
full returns from every election ground in Maine, |
and she, too, has ranged herself, gloriously and
immovably, in the gorgeous and gallant galaxy of
Wing States. Kent's majority is 2l5,
The St. Louis New Era, of Tuesday thus sums up
"tts facts Of The case:
The Wings have overturned Van Burensm in
Maine. They have defeated the Loco Foco candid
ate for Governor, last year elected by upwards OF
5000 votes, and the previous year by about 3O00.-l
They have elected four members of Congress; the
Locos have tuo, and there two districts in which
there is no choice. In the present Congress, there
are six Loco Focns and ttro Wings. The Wings
have elected majority of the State Senate, and
majority Of the House of Representatives; and this
secures the election of Wig United States
Senator. How much worse would the Loco FUcos
have us beat them, in State which was always
conceded as certain for Mr.. Van Buren,!
The following spirited remarks IRE from the
Washington Madisonian:
THE VIoToRY IN MAINE!--The "second sober
thought of the people" of Maine, has responded to
the appeal of Martin Van Buren,, by whitening
rebuke--an overwhelming denunciaon. That
spirited State stands redeemed, regenerated, dis
enthrallcd." The wandering Plend purified from
its degrading alliance has been restored to the con-
steaton of her sister States. We welcome her
return, we forget tnat she mas Deen truant we
trust in her future affection. Maine repudiates
the Sub-treasury SYSTEM and rejects the project Of
Standing Army. Maine has come 10 the rescue
of the republic from the grasp of despotism
wreath of laurels for her brow! Gov. Fairfield has
run at least two thousand votes beyond the utmost
strength of Mr. Van Buren, in the State: but NJ
his popularity has been neutralized by his union
with an odious cause The faint of Van Burenism
has fallen upon him, and his hopes lie withered.
Maine has thrown off the leading strings to
which she has so long submitted and nobly assert
cd the dignity Of her character. Exlei from her
territory the abashed spirit of Loco Focoism has
fled to the granite State her last refuge in New
England Of all our triumphs, this, the least ex-
pected, is by far the most important. 1t places the
issue of the Presidential election beyond doubt
The mora, effect Of the revolution in this State will
be felt to the other extremity of the Union The
floating nass of undecided votes will be sucked in
to the mpetuous tide of public opinion. Thousands
beyond the limits of Maine, will be added to the
mighty aggregate of freemen, by whose suifrages
General Harrison will be placed in the Executive
seat. Confusion, dsmay, despair, may be seen in
the countenances of the office holders, who, up to
this period, have exhibited naughty port, look Of
defiance, and tone Of derision. The dream of
Mr.. Van Burens invincibiy has been suddenly
dissipated, and the "spos" are already slipping
from their grasp. Maine has torn away the deu-
sion to which they had surrendered themselves
Wreaths of laurels for her brow!
And the Richmond Wing of the 21st thus truth
fully, eoquently and gratefully expatiates upon the
great victory.
"Here, every where else, the reality has out
stripped the preconception. The Wings proved
stronger than the Wings themselves thought, and
from Louisiana to Canada, it is now manifest that
all is destined to fall before the energies of an
abused and excited people. These preliminary
STATE elections are but those agiations the great
deep, and rumbing under the earth, which precede

What prospect what forlorn and desperate hope
can LocofUcosm now have IF sustaining itself
From what quarter of the Heavens does This hope
come! The North the South, the East and the
West have alike cast it out. Not one State can il
now securely rely upon upon. for. as certain as We
live, the wave from Vermont and Maine will roll
into N. Hampshire, and put in peril their 0scen-
dency in that State, famous for her love of MAORI
ties! When did the civilized world, since the days
of Peter the Hermit witness the spontaneous col
lection, in any part of Chrstendom of the People,
in such immense masses, or see those masses uni
mated by unanimous and determnated a spirit
Is not one almost justified in crying out, as did the
Christian hosts of the eleventh century, when they
determined to redeem the Sepuchre of Christ from

Glory aud honor to the American People Etar
nifty to their liberty and free insututions How
najcsticay are they shaking off the repfoach 0
the last twelve years of sluvish submission to prac
teal despotism! How gloriously are they vindi
eating the sometimes doubtful but ever dear pre-
tensions of man to the competency to govern him
self! How spenddly are they dsspaung tn
fears of the friends of human rights, and the hope
Of their foes!
And now, we ask, in serious earncstness, ougl

and end the excitement of the country
Ought not Mr.. Van Buren, 10 give way to tn
will of TIE People, and withdraw from the contest!
Since the election in Vermont, the I.oco(oco pa

there, we have another evidence of the identity
