ELECTION IN MAINE.
The federasts are always too eager 10 "halloo
before they get ont Of the woods" They have
claimed Maine often and over again. and have even
gone far count upon carrying senator OF the
United States, although Mr., Bradbury has already
been elected senator in place of Mr.. Evans II
turns out, however that the federal exuItaon has
been premature; and that, after all, the democrats
are almost certain of majority in the legislature
| The following article from that staunch and able
democratic press, the Augusta Age" Of the 9Ih
instant, opens brighter prospect to our view:
"WHAT or THE ELEoTIoES-The result Of the
elections on Mondsy last, though not absolutely
conclusive Of the final result, gives such clear ind
cations as TO what that result will be- to leave lit
tie room for doubt The democracy has suffered
much and it's friends in and out of the State have
feared much from the divisions which have hereto
| fore existed In our ranks The trial on Monday
disclosed two important facts; first, that the iede
rnists no better united " indeed as well as thu
democrals-they, by reason Of personal differences
having failed to elect in very large number o.
their strongest Districts and, in the next place. tina
united action il all that is now wanting on the par
ofthe democrats to insure success. Wherever on
friends came up to the work with harmony and gooC
| feeling, they successful. Thus, on Monday
several of the most doubtful districts in the State
| were carried, while in strong republican dis
trlcts, where this spirit OF harmony did not pre-
vail, choice effected. Thus in Frank
| fort, Bucksport, &c, Dexter and Corinna Tur
ner and Hebron Phipsburg and Georgetown, &c
our friends came together with a spirit Of patri
otsm, which rode over all personal cOnsldera
tonR, and resulted in success. The result vii
follow the same course Of action in other districts
| This our friends now and feel, and hence We
have already, from several districts, which failed tC
elect last Monday, the gratifying assurance that a
the next trial, all will be right Democrats see tina
nothing is gained by intestine quaTres but universe
disaster. The fate of Thomaston and NoblebOrongt

ain the meantime such discord reigns in the fed
ern party TO convince all the sagncious men in II
that the expectation of carrying the House is utter
ly hopeless. This they now admit. We have re
ceiyed returns from los districts in which election
have been effected. In these districts, comprising
more than two-thirds Of the whole House, the wing
and aboliuonsts, Notwithstanding their organlza
ton and great exertions, and the apathy and dIvs

gain OF five members from last year. Ii the re

overturn of this majority in the districts yet to elect
is not within the range of probabilities. In addition
to this it will be recollected that have clear ma
joTiy Of five in the Senate
"Had not the towns of Nobeboro' and Thomas

stated above, only five.
"With these facts before u.s. there is not the eas
cause to apprehend the loss of the State if the dem
ocrats but do their duty. This feel fully assure
they t1iH do. All that is wanting to plac
the democratic party entirely out of harms way
