MAINE ELECTION.
We copy the following paragraphs from the
augusta Age:-
&c What Of the Elections THE result of the
ly conclusive of the final result, gives such
clear indications as to what that result will be-
as to leave little room for doubt. The democ-
racy has suffered much, and its friends in and
out of the State have feared much from the
divisions which have heretofore existed in our
ranks The trial on Monday disclosed two
important facts first, that the federalists are
no better united, if indeed as we'll as the dem
ocrats-they, by reason of personal differen-
ces, having failed to elect in a very large num-
Der of their strongest districts; and, in the
next place, that united action is all that is now
wanting on the part of the democrats to insure
success. Wherever our friends came up to
the work with harmony and good feeling, they
were successful. Thus, on Monday, several
of the most doubtful districts in the State were
l carried, while In some strong republican dis
tricts, where this spirit of harmony did not
prevail, no choice was effected. Thus in
Frankfort, Bucksport, &C., Dexter and CORN.
ma, Turner and Hebron, Phipsburg and George
r town, &C., our friends came together with a
spirit of patriotism, which rode over all per.
f sonal considerations, and resulted in success
: The same result will follow the same course
of action In other Districts

in which elections have been effected In these

! blllties. In addition to this it will be recol
lected that we have clear majority of five 4
