a BRIEF GLANCE AT TIE late
ELECTIONS.

The returns are incomplete, but suffi
cent IS known to give the Democracy an
assurance efvictory 10 Maine g. Vermont
The Boston Pos. says that Dana will
be elected Governor Of Maine by hand
some majority, and member Of Con,
gress by from 500 to 1000 votes.
In Vermont, according to the Post
there is heavy Democratic gain. From
i25 towns already heard from, there is a
net Democratic gain Of 1877 on Govern
or. The Senate will stand II Democrats
and Is Wings; and in relation to the
House, the Post says:
"Repyesentatiues-We count 81 towns
IN each of which the democrats have
gained one member. There are elected
81 democrats in all, 40 wings, 10 aboi-
tionists, &c no choice. The no choice
towns, we believe, have no other oppor-
tunity Of electing representatives this
year. We shall not be surprised to find
that the den1cfass have chosen a majority
m the House as oell as in the Senate, thus
enabling them to elect the Governor, Lieu

Perry W. Hall, the officer in command

THE MANIFESTO OF SANTA ANNA

The last manifesto Of the Mexican
Chief, will be found ia another column.
He throws the entire responsibility of the
late defeat at the city of Mexico, upon
Gen. Valencia, who, he pretends, from
.cended his orders, in marching one league
further from the main army than direct
ed. This may be true or it may not. One
thing however must be satisfactory to all
and that IS, that in every general engage
ment where Santa Anna has had the d.
rection, the responsibilities Of defeat have
been shuffled from his TO other shoulders.
AT the battle Of Buena Vista it was the
disobedience Of orders by one Of his Gen
erals stationed at Saltillo, which caused
that great defeat-at Cerro Gordo the
same causes brought about The same gen.
eral results-nnd al Contreras and Churu-
busco, according to his way Of thinking,
the Americans would have been cut to
pieces and effectualIy destroyed had Va
lencia done as he directed. Ever since
the recall Of Santa Anna to assume the
reigns Of civil and military government
in Mexico, he has proved himself both
treacherous and cowardly, and the mere
fact that he avails himselfof this slender
excuse to sustain sinking cause may not
appear strange, but tina. SO many should
be found TO confde in his patriotism and
courage, after his repeated and unexam.
pied defeats, is somewhat mysterious we
must admit.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

We understand that Rev. Mr.. Ho1-
BROOK announced to his aggregation, last
Sunday, that he should preach next Sab
bath morning on the subject Of Capital
Punishment. The question of the au,ho-
rity for the infection of the death penal
ty, and the necessity for resortiug to it,
is one that has lately attracted much at
tentlon, and IS Of peculiar interest. Ef-
forts are being made for its abolition, in
opposition to the opinions of many grea,
and good men. tits desirable, therefore,
that every citizen should inform himself
on the subject, and ascertain on which
side Of this question the truth lies, and
what has been he result Of the expert.

tries of abandoning the system of ca i,al

GENT. TAYLOR'S EMBARCATION
FOR CORPUS CHRISTI.

The State Convention of Texas, which
assembled on the 4th oc July, 1845, &C
cepted the terms Of annexation preferred
on the part Of the United States; after
which Gen. Taylor was ordered, with
the troops under his command from Fort
Jessup, ir Louisiana, to the western from
tier Of Texas. This order was no doubt
made with view to protect the country
against the threatened invasion CT Next
CO and the savage banditti which had
been in the habit Of menac;ng constantly
the border settlers. He embarked at
New Orleans, and arrived on the 25th
July at ST. Joseph's Island, and few
days aitsr made his encampment at Cor
pus Christi, on the west side Of the Nue..
ces, where he remained in a state Of in.
activity for almost seven months.

United States, anil to favor the success Of
which, he was intriguing with foreign
ministers, pledging the nationality Of the
peepleyas security for any outlay that
France or Great Britain might incur

generally supposed, in the capacity OF
self-constiluted Ambassador.
