Recent Elections---The Wings
Every Where Victorious

MAINE. From the trial last Monday TO
fill vacancies we have the following result
Wings 4-Locofoco, l.
OHIO. One of the small counties of the
Northwest has not yet been heard from. The
official vote for Governor has been received
from "a counties, and reports tolerable accu-
rate from all but one The official returns
vary but little from the reported majorities in
the aggregate. Mr. Bebb's majority will he u
bout TWO THOUSAND. The Liberty vote
in "a counties is 1927, and will probably go
up to 1000 or 10000. 1t was Sail in 1874.
1t affords us much qualification to state that
the returns from the Goth Congressional dis
trict, (unofficiaD ensure the election of Hon.
Samuel f. Vinton over Mr. Case, Loco Foco
and his Independent competitor The o.
hio Delegation will stand therefore, in the
next Congress, IL Wings, 8 Loco Focos, and
| Independent. The Ohio Press consgns
Mr. Lahm, the Independent, to the Wings.
The House will stand as announced in our
last. A certain Wing majority of SIX; and
on most questions like TO come up TO EIGHT.
The Senate is still in doubt.
FLORIDA. Southern papers of both
parties concur in the opinion that Mr. Cabell,
the Wing candidate for Congress in Florida,
is elected. The Charleston Mercury says:
awe have returns enough to warrant us in
saying that CabelI (Whig) is elected to Con-
gress b. small majority"
ALABAMA. Beaman, Wing, has been e.
lected to Congress in Yancey's district, in
which Polk had 400 majority. Beaman, is u
son of DR.. Benman, of Troy N. Y
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. We have
mt length the full official vote of Pennsylvania
for Canal Commissioner Although Native
ism drew offover $4,000 votes, ofwhich two
thirds were probably once Wings and only
one-third of them Loco Focos, yet the Wing
candidate beats the Polk and Dallas man by
1899 majority. That will do for rainy day
and light vote.

THE Wing PARTY. We entirely concur
in opinion, says the Richmond Wing, with n
correspondent, who writes as follows: "Tak-
ing all things into consideration, there was
never more necessity for the organization and
perseverance ofthe Wing party, and. if we
can unite, as believe we may, upon suita-
BILE candidate for the Presidency, we may
unquestionably hope for success" That the
Wigs, if they continue united, will triumph
in lS4S, by a majority equal to that in 1910,
we have no doubt BY that time the country
will begin to reap the bitter harvest, the seeds
of which have been sown by this Locofoco
Administration.

Paine has recently presented to the State OF
Vermont, splendid marble bust OF his iather'

most admirable work of art, executed by
Brown. The Legislature has accepted the
bust and ordered it to be placed in some sui

The following are the concluding para

named:
"The letters from Mexico, also, all unite in
SAYING that there is no wish or intention of
obtaining peace by any concession, and that
Mexico will make no sacrifices for that object.
The feeling ofbitter luminosity is general u
gainst us, and pervades all societies, and they
look forward to long continuance of the
war Every thing can hear or learn fully
convinces me that such is the fact and that
we shall probably have protracied war,

one, in the nlanner in which il is conducted.
If Congress will order an investigation
into the manner in which the expenditures
have been made, and the whole system, or
rather the total want ofsystem, organization
and responsibility that has marked il from
the very commencement, it would make the
nation stare. doubt that the stupidity of
the arrangements and the lavish expenditures
has any parallel in this or any other country.
