n-yeThe result of Maine election carries terror
and dismay into the ranks of the Van Buren, feder-
alrsts. They hardly expected total rout in
Van Buren, by many Wings. But it is now lost to
HIM, and there remains no hope for him in the NO
yember election. Our friends in Maine before the
recent contest gave The assurance that If Fairfield
did not receive 1000 majority, Old Tip would
sweep the State in November. But now the ques-
ton is settled beyond controversy

The true reason why the Van Buren, party is
forsaken by tho people is, because the measures
they support oppressive to the people-are OPP
posed to their interess-are subversive of free
principles and equal tghts-are in imitation of the
despotic features of the Governments of the old

OF THE BRITISH TORIES FOR

informs us that great interest is manifested there
in regard the approaching election in the United
States. The Republican Yankee populatio are
all in favor of Harrison, while the British party

This is ell understood to be the case in both Can.
ada and England. They hope 10 gain favor in the
Boundary dispute, hoy have done, by the sue
cess of Van Buren, The following is from the
Hladisonian
BRITISH OPINIONS.
The advocates Of SOY rcign power chuckling
at the danger into which Mr.. Van Buren, has
broug int Republican institutions. We find in
the British papers their shrewd guesses at the re-
suit. Give Mr. Van Buren,, say they, the army Of
200 900 men, and, with tho purse Of tho country,
which has been just put in his hands by the sub.
Treasury system, he will establish his sovereignty
free institutions will explode and this will be
the last attempt to set up republic Hear this,
people of the United States, and give the lie to the
audacious libel on intelligence! Let US, while
we look back with shame and astonishmcnt to the
mal-admnistration the last twelvei years has
brought upon us, rally all our energies remedy
them. Let answer to libellers of the old world
be unanswerablo and final Let us do our duty
