MA1sz.--The Loco-Focos in the Legislature of

Lincoln County by single town in Kennebec, with
a portion Of Oxford, Gust as the four lower Wards
were to be connected by District of the Eighth
wth,he Fifteenth Ward ofshs City, and SO sink all
the Wing strength in single District.) This Lin
coin District is some two hundred miles long,
reaching from the Atlantic to Canada through the
middle of tho State, and for long distance but
one or two towns wild! ! By such means the
Wings are probably limited to the Kennebec Dis
trict alone. The new Districts are as follows:
I. York County, with the towns of Hiram, Por-
ter, BrownReld, Denmark, Fryeburg, Lowell, Stow,
Stonaham. Sweden, Waterford, Albany, Mason,
Gilead, Bethel, Newry, Bachelder's Grant, Riley,
Greenwood, Norway, Oxferd and Hebron, from
Oxfsrd County.
IL Cumberland County.
III. Lincoln County, Greene township in Ken
nebec, and the balance Of Oxford.
". KenHebec (except as above) and Franklin
Y. Somerset Co. and Waldo, except Viasl-
haven.
VI. Psnsssoot and Piscataquis Counties.
VII Hancock, Washington and Aroostook Coun-
ties, with Vinalheven township in Waldo.
The House passed, after debate and without di-
vision, bill forbidding the use Of the Jails of
Maine to the claimants of fugitive Slaves. and also
forbidding, under severe penalties, the officers of
that State to engage In capturing such Slaves
The Senate rejected the bill.
A bill authorizing Towns to tax Railroads as
Real Estate has passed.
EDWARD ROBINSON has been unanimously re-
nominated for Governor by the Wings.
MASSACHUSETTS the Legislature of this State
adjourned at S o'clock on Saturday morning, after
a fa,suing night, and a Session of days. The
bill authorizing tax of one per cent {modifed to
one half per cent? the capitals of Railroads, was
defeated, by 158 to 142. That authorizing State
Tax of S75 600 vas also defeated. The Boston
Transcript of Saturday says:
The bills to equalize the taxes to regulate Banks
and Banking, repeal the sunset law, and TO abol-
ish the Office of Attorney General, were among the
principal matters which were urged through yes
,erday afternoon.
The bills to guard the right of suffrage, to i'm
pose tax on railroad stock, aud to i'm pose State
tax, seyerally failed in the House; and the re-
solves in relation TO William 7. Oney, who was
seized by the authorities of Rhode Island, in the
house of Jeremiah Crooks, in Bellins ham, in June
last, could be brought for final action, after
they were passed 10 be engrossed. The PROPOSE
ton for the removal of the State House wss laid
On the table.
On the wesh,y matter Of appointing publisher
of the laws, the two houses could agree, and SO
that high duty will still devolve on the favored
Transcript.

p The Signal of Liberty, an Abolition paper
in Michigan, takes hold of our remark that, in
view Of the constitutional relations between the
North and South, MIR. CLAY could not now be
abandoned by the Wings of the North without bad
faith, and bestows on it column of such sophis-
try as this:
aAccording to this argument, of two Wings of equal
QUALIFICATIONS, the Tdbune viii prefer Shareholder merely
because he IS such !"
We ough, not, perhaps, to notice such false
hood as this unless merely to stamp it as false
hood. Our position is, that Mr. Clay, being the
undoubted choice Of a great majority of the Wing
party apart from the question of Slavery, cannot
be repudated on that ground-the Southern
Wings having ardensly and effectively supported a
nonslaveholder of the Free States for President at
the last Election-wi,hout violation OF good
faith, and virtual disfranchisement, SO far as we
have power of the citizens Of the Southern States
The attempt to liken this to refusal to support q
insult to injury. When the Constitution was penn
ed, j. was of course understood that immortality
would be ground of objection to any candidate
for the Presidency while 1t not and could not
have been anticipated by the South that the SIM
pie fac, Of being citizen of that section, and con-
forming to its institutions, would be bar to the
Presidency any other station under the Federal
Government. When an attempt was made, by a
union OF Loco-Foco and Slave Holding votes, to
proscrike and reject EDWARD EVERETT in the Sc
nate, on account of his s,owed Ant-Slavery senti-
uenrs, that attemptwas uanfully resisted and de-
feated by Henry CLAY, as striking at the integ-
rity of the Union.-But we waste words in COM
menaing the obligations of good faith to one who
evidently seeks the accomplishment of bis ends
through violation of the compromises of the Con
sti,ution.
