had perched himself on one of the over

mimicking his gesticulations. endeavored
to raise laugh among the audience
Guided by the looks Of some of his hear

without seeming to have noticed him, con-
tinued his discourse. With the skill of
practiced orator. he reserved the incident
for the proper place and time. He was
expatiating at the moment on the power
and sovereignty of divine gface. With
gathering force and earnestness he told of
the unlikely objects it had often chosen,
and the unlocked for triumphs il had
achieved. AS he rose tothe climax of
his inspiring theme. and when in the full
sweep of his elcquence, he suddenly paus-
ed. and turning round and poin.ingsiowly
TO the wretch above him, exclaimed in a
tone of ieep and thrilling pathos-" Even

"Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again,
The eternal years Of God are hers,
But error wounded, wri,hes iu pain,
And dies amidst his worshiPer'."
Below is given the information, received
up to this time, OF the results OF the election
on Monday last.
Governor Fairfeld's nett gain, so Car, over
Governor Kent, exceeds II 900. His nett
gain over Governor Kent and the scattering
votes, exceeds 10000. Governor Kent's
loss exceeds $4,000.
Governor Fairfeld's majority, will be
from IL TO $4,000.
Governor Kent will lack about $4,000
votes Of reelection.
Our candidates for the Senate are elected
in all the districts, except Kennebec and
Somerset.
In the Somerset district, which is entitled
to two Senators, there is certainly no choice.
In the Kene5ec district, which is entitled
to TOUR Senator'S, the majority Of Govnrnor
Kent over Governor Fairfield and the scat.
,ering votes, is $50, and the Federal candi-
dates are doubtless elected, with the excep.
ton, perhaps, of Merrill Clough. who did
not receive the entire vote of the party.

are filled, q, and perhaps % will be Demo-
Gratis.
The Democratic majority in the House,
will he not less than so, and NAV reach 80,
or even a higher number.
1t is observable that the Democratic vote
has increased so tar, about 1000, over the
vote Of last year.
Upon the whole, the rout of the pipe-lay-
ers OF last fall, and the gerrymanderers OF
last winter, is complete and entire.

Mr.. EWING


1t seems that the impression which the
letter Of this late public functionary made
at its first appearance upon the public mind
i'g radually giving way to a just feeling of
contempt and sco-a for one who would SO far
violate the confidence reposed in him by the
President, as to reveal to the world the prl.
vate conversations which must have ensued
upon a supposed feeling of mutual trust and
good will.
Admitting the truth Of every statement
which the letter contains, and the Justice Of
his various differences we can but feel indig-
nant at his course, when we reflect upon the
intimate relations which must have subsisted
between them, and the treachery which he
has shown in waving those relation to give
way to the low & unholy impulses of revenge
and disappointment. But whilst he nav
have been slightly instrumental in shaking
public confidence in Mr.. Tyler, he has SUBJ
jected himself to the contempt of all honest
and high minded men.
