MAINE ELECTION.
To-day the State aud Congressional elections
in Maine. We have just rein ned from short trip to
the land of pine trees but must confess that
noticed very little excite among the people touch
ing the election. Indeed il struck us that there
however may not prevail throughout the State. As
passed through Portland on Saturday, We observed
notices stuck ound the stre,ts calling meetings of
both the wing and democratic parties. Very little is
heard of free soil in Maine. though the election may
show that the principle has taken deep root 1t is i'm
possible TO predict the result The plurality law now
being In force, some unexpected elections may

FREE SOIL. MOVEMENTS.
There ia now but little il any doubt that free sol
electoral tickets, pledged to Van Buren,, will be found
in all Of the non-siave holding States As we have
already noticed free soil electoral ticket has been
nominated in Massachusetts, and We presume that
State conventions for the purpose will quickly
follow in the other New England States but the free
soil papers furnish but ltte information of the most
important movements # their party. Some of
their editors claim tie vote of New Hampshire, when
they ought to know that such event as Van Buren,
and Adams the of that State nearly
impossible. II the free soil ticket should obtain
plurality of the votes OF the people, it would be Of no
avail to Van Buren,. the choice devolves the
legislature when neither ticket has majority aud the
Cass men have majority in that body; Of course Cass
must in all probability the vote of the State.
The same may be said Ms to the certainty of Massa-
chusetts going for Taylor In the other New England
States plurality governs in the choice of electors.
The free soil (pa convention meets at
Utica on Wednesday, Sept. Is, when governor and
other State officers, and Van Buren, electoral ticket
will be nominated.
Tho free soil state convention of Pennsylvania
meets at Reading, the same day; and in New Jerseya
State convention meets on Saturday, the 10th inst,
at Trenton. In Michigan, Illinois. and Wisconsin,
similar State conventions are to be held this month
In Ind ana, electoral ticket has been nominated,
as We have noticed. In Ohio. the free soil men are
very active, but have not observed any notice of
State convention of the party. We are also unad-
