G.. Miller, who heads The movement, was
last year the Federal candidate for Con-
gress in the Cumbei land district and beaten
by Judge Black, an unfinching Democrat.
All the mon who participated in the meeting
referred to supported the feds'a candidates
for the county officers last year, and were
essentially used up by the Democracy.
They are now where they have been for
number Of years, wal the Fedlralists.-
AT the recent mass meeting in Cumberland
county, there were not less than 10000
Democrats on the ground, among them
delegation Of from 5 to 600 from Miller's
own neighborhood! This does not look as
though 'the Democracy of Cumberland
county had abandoned James X. Polk tor

THE MAINE ELECTION.

Is not the Wig Party already doomed
The Boston Atlas of Thursday devote:
half column Of gentle rebuke to portion
of the whig party who are called "Trem
blers." Ii seems that the late astounding
returns from Maine has put them in really
a ptable state of apprehension. They sc
about shaking with fear and anxiety lesl
they may be defeated in the Presidential
canvass.
The whig papers may slur over and ex
plain as best they can, the triumphant cleo
ton of ANDERSON. The late result in the
State of Maine was all important, and it
was SO viewed by the mass of rejecting
men of both parties. We consider it deci-
sire Of the result Of the campaign. AN
DERsois's majority over both wings and
abeli,ionists is a, least 1900! This shows
the current of The Northern States. As
goes Maine SO goes the Union. Tbs we
believe is the conviction Of the great body
of the wing party. There may now be
but a few "trembIers," but when The full
returns from Maine are in, aud when its
bearings in past years upon all the subse-
quent elections in the Northern States, is
fully understood, the whole whig party will
be reckoned among "the trembisrs," for
with the prophetic instinct of fear they will
see their doom written long before the No
vember ballot boxes are closed.

THE CANAL.

Since the ieturn oil Gov. Davis and Mr.
Ryan from Europe, Illinois stocks have
fallen several cents on the dollar. IL is
now known that there is no hope of the
canal loan being obtained, unless the leg
isla,ure Of this State will levy tax TO pay
the interest on lis Indebtedness. Eight
hundred thousand dollars have been SUBJ
scrbed in Europe on these terms, to com
piete the canal, and still larger sum is
expected on the same condition. 1t now
rests with the people and the Legislature
TO say whether this work shall be done
If we will consent TO be taxed TO pay the
interest, and thus give an evidence of our
willingness TO pay our debts, our credit will
again be established. In this demand there
is nothing unreasonable. Will the people

"FGRErGN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We understand that important information
has been received at ashington, and that
the Cabinet has been engaged in serious
consultation upon the course they should
adopt. The advices from Texas, and espe-
cially from England, are said to show in a
manner not to be mistaken, the agency of
England in stimulating Mexico to renew
her war upon Texas. Santa Anna has Sc
cured the loan of four millions of dollars,
in part through the facilities which she has
extended
The troops for the invasion of Texas are
in state of organization--and it is said
that the Mexican Minister in London has
written by the last steamer to the Mexican
Admiral, commanding the two Mexican
steamships now in New York, stating that if
they were in condition, he must sail imme-
diately for Vera Cruz, where they would be
joined by another from England with mill
lary stores ard ammuniton--and that if
they were n"t in repair Ire must proceed inn
medately TO Mexico with dispatches. He
therefore left in the cars on the Sd Sept.
for New Orleans. One of the steamers is
rep1lred, and the other will be in about two
weeks. One reason given for his haste is,
that the expedition must be pressed, so as
TO accomplish the invasion before the Con-
gress of the United States meets.
We understand that in consequence or
this state of things, of the Interference of
England the facilities she has furnished,
and the rapid movements of Mexico, a
question has been presented to the Cabinet
at Washington, what steps should they i'm

THE HEIGHT OF HONOR.

| SILAs WRIGHr-The position Of Mr.
| Wright is most remarkable one. He is
plain man. with nothing Of the courtieI
about him, and nothing Of the peculiar So
cial atraciveness which ado ms Mr.. Clay,
and which is so efficient in creating per-
sonal friendships and working out political
strength. He has no children, and is
in no way the inferior of fame. He has
never sought office, and we do not believe
he has ever desired il. At any rate, he
has never been so excited about politics, in
any way, as TO lose his temper, or to resort
any one Of those tricks so often counted
the essential machinery Of political men.
In tho agitatons of debate he is always
Ca I'm and courteous, and never, in all his
life, was gully for moment of those per-
sonaliles which so often dishonor public
men, and the people whom they represent.
Calm, urbane and dignifed he is always,
however violent may be the storm. Mr..
Wright carries on an immense correspon-
dence with his own hand, and with such
industry as never to allow the business of
one day to lie over for the next. He will

which he would have been confirmed by

then TO the second place of executive office
in The nation. and now the same party ten
der him the chief mngistracy of the En-
pire State. All these stations have been
rendered TO him and urged upon him with
unanlmty among his own party broken
only by the fear OF removing him from
his present place as Senator-and they
have all been declined, not by way of fl
nesse, but because he is unwilling TO fill
positions so little suited TO his taste. What
