Cassius M. Clay has published letter in the
"Ercles vein," in which he threatens to republish
his abolition paper-we presume, at Cincinnati. All
the abotionists are, of course, cheering him on.
The great body of the citizens Of the North do not
sympathze with him in the feelings he expresses.

MAINE.

The eastern Argus of Saturday says, that ''the
election returns come in very slowly. We have,
however, received several additional towns since we
published our tables. In 264 towns received, Gov.
Anderson is FOUR THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND
sEvENTY.sEyEN ahead of his wing competitor;
and lacks but 497 of majority over scattering and
all. The towns to come in gave Polk about 1880
majority. Governor Anderson is handsomely re-
elected. We shall probably have the returns from
the lower counties in few days In the senate, the
democrats have decided majority. The senate
consists of 81 members. Of these, the democrats
have elected in York, / in Cumberland, certain,
(perhaps 81 3 in Oxford, 3 in Waldo, in Penobs-
cot, in Hancock and Washington, las we learn
from reliable source,) in Notwithstanding
sepenieen--one more than necessary to a majority.
The wings have carried 3 in Kennebec. Thus
ends their victory in the senate. In Lincoln 90
Somerset, (2l-Piscataquis and Franklin, q each, }
no choice. To be filled by the Legislature in con-
vcntion which will be democratic, and fill vacancies
with democrats. Tceniy-eighi to three. Pretty well
for the senate.
"REPRtsENTArIyEs.--In this county we have
elected ten democratic epresentatives--being fco
more than we had in the house last year. There
are some vacancies yet existing in this county that
may be filed by democrats"

acter that all had returned to order at the sound OF

would appear that the Mexican government had

present government, and substitute triumvirate in
its place, composed Of himself, Tornel, and Vaenc
These are, possibly, either falsehoods or exag-

that this general was very much disappointed when
he saw the revolution, Of which Santa Ana had beer
the VICTIM turn in favor Of Herrera, when, II may be
remembered he had been its first nstigator and the

The MCKENZIE PAMpHLEr.-Mr. Mackenzie,
in a letter to the New York Tribune, exonemtss
Mr.. Van Ness, Mr.. Bogardns, the two Messrs.
Tyler, and, indeed, everybody else, from having
any part or lot in obtaining the letters of Mr. Hoyt
composing his book, or in its publicationa-thc Ell
tire honor of which achievement Mackenzie claims
for himself He further rays, that he is to realize
no pecunary benefit from the publication, and
claims to have acted perfectly right obtaining the
letters in the manner he did, and in spreading them
before the world; that his motives were purely
patriotic; and, had money been his object, he has
sense enough to know that he could have made
more by the "black-ma' operation than by the
publication. Proceedings have been instituted for
the purpose of bringing the matter before the grand
jury in relation to the appropriation Of the letters
by Mackenzie, and their publication. MIR. Matthew
L. Davis was subpGnaed before one OF the police
justices the question; and it appeared that neither
did Mackenzie know him, nor did Mr.. Davis know
Mackensic. Olher persons, to the number of
twenty or more, have also received subpGnas; and
probably the whole matter will come up before a
criminal court in short time Baltimore Sun.
