ELECTIONS IN MAINE AND New
HAMPSHIRE. The last accounts give the
Democratic candidates for State Officers,
in Maine, the election by a bare majorily;
the Governor receiving about l3, 500 votes
less than he did last year; while the
Wing candidate for Governor received
about IL 900 votes less this year than the
Wing nominee of last year, and the Scat
tsring or Liberty vote fell off about 500,
being this year 5,l69.
The last Keene Sentinel sums up the
vote on the late Congressional election, as
follows Woodbury., Dem. l7l8O; Good =
win, Wing, 9765, and Hale, independent
and Liberty 1926; leaving a majority Of
90l against the Texas Candidate. The
Sentinel says there are few small towns
TO be heard FROM which may reduce the
majority against Woodbury., but it cannot
prove less than from 500 to 800.
This certainly furnishes ray of hope
that Granite New Hampshire may yet
be redeemed from her base Subservency
TO the Slave power. This was the second
trial for the election of Member of Con-
gress from that State; and as that State
refused 10 District. according 10 the late
act of Congress, for fear the dominant par,
ty could not elect all who would stand by
that party, the results of the last two trials
furnish an omen of ultimate good.

THE LEXINGTON MOB.

The Louisville Journal thus refers to the pr OBJ
able consequences of the mobocratic proceedings
in Lexington
"We are at no loss to determine the effect of
the disturbance at Lexington upon the feelings in
Kentucky Few will 90 farther than to dsap-
prove, as we do, few will openly and violently
denounce the Fayette people under all the cir
cumstances OF the case; and few will fully APP
prove OF all that was done. But the rational and
temperate discussion of ultimate emancipation will
not be checked even by this popular outbreak
Many OF the best minds of the State are engaged
with the question, and they aOiU express freely
upon them Wemust meet that question: for no
human pOlcer can stop it,
We hope earnestly that the discussion will be
conducted every where temperately that every
plan to rid Kentucky of slavery, will be examined
cautio lsly and with judgment, that public opin-
ion will be fairly elected so as best to prom tie the
public good. We do not believe that Kentue ky
can yet have reached that point at which men
should be afraid to speak, write, and publish
touc ing the disposition of our slave population
We have ever looked forward to day when
Kentucky should hold within her boundary no
bondmen, and we hope to live to see such day.
II we have fallen upon times when the freedom
OF speech and of the press should be shackled lest
servile war ensue, the sooner we adopt measures
to remove evil which disturbs our peace, de-
stroys confidence in our security, and awakens a
community to arms, the better Tor ourselves, and
our commonwealth. In this particular communi-
ty we know that there is considerable feeling on
the subject of gradual emancipation and desire
to bring it prominently before the State among
the political questions deserving attention. We
expect to discuss it and to admit to our columns
well written communications upon ii on both SIDES

HE MOB AND ITS FRUITS. The following
paragraphs from the New Haven Courier, throw
additional light upon the state of society in Lex
ington:
eve saw a letter yesterday from gentleman
now in Lexington, to friend in this city, dated
August goth, which speaks of the intense excite
ment prevailing in consequence Of recent events
which have TRANSFERRED there From this source
we derive the information that portion OF the
citizens Of Lexington have formed themselves
into band, termed sthe Regulators, painted and
disguised as Indians, and threaten to drive every
free black from the city and country. Their first
depreciation was committed on the night Of the
18th instant, when they took black preacher,
stripped and whipped him, and afterwards gave
him coat Of tar and feathers. Every man feels
it necessary to go armed in self-defence, and an
obnoxious word or sentiment exposes one to the
fury Of the populace. To make this fact appear
more fully, the writer states that two wealthy
citizens met day or two since in the street, and
disagreeing upon some matter connected with the
late disturbance, pistols were Immediately drawn,
and would have been used but for timely explain
alton. r.
The letter states that the worst passions o. the
multitude were so wrought upon in relation to
the True American and c. M. Clay, that at the
time of the convention it needed but the word of
any one of the orators on that occasion, to have
produced the most dileful results, even to the
shedding of blood. AS denunciation and anathe-
fell from the lips of the speakers, the wells
which the multitude sent forth were such as lam
guage would fail to describe, or the mind of man
hardly to conceive off,

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser says there
more than $50 towns in New York, many in
the far famed wheat growing region of western
New York, many as well in the central and
eastern part of the State, whose population is on
the decrease. The decrease has butrecently be-
gun to operate in the western part of the State
but in Otsego and Washington counties il has been
steadily going on for ten years. The Advertiser
says that unless some efforts are made to provide
more Lucrative business for the population, they
will half emigrate to the new lands Of the west
Wheat now brought from Illinois, Indiana, west
ern Michigan, and Wisconsin to Buffalo at five
cents bushel. Wool, pork, butter and cheese are
brought at less expensive rates according to their
value per 100 lbs. than wheat and flour. Still
there few farmers in New York, that make
money in spite OF western competition, by legit-
innate farming operations. They do so because
they really impart double value to the labor of

if you would learn the value of dollar, go and

crime, would we witness every day. So OF fash
