the prompt attention Of our correspondents to give
returns, either complete or partial, Of the result Of
the Presidential Election in nearly all the States of
the Union:
Gen. Taylor presses hard upon his leading opponent in
Maine. Whether there any chance Of his yet heading him
we have not the at hand to judge. Our latest des
patch Of last night gives the vote Of al7 towns follows
Taylor 81, ,Oso, Cass 35. $685.

Salem gives hundred aud forty majority Roxbury
five hundred majority. Cambridge three hundred and
ifyfSe majority. Even Charlesown which has for many
years been under the Locooco sway has given majority
for the Wing candidates No ticket has received mooriy
of the votes; but the Whg ticket, will be seen, is far
ahead Of either Of the others. In of the counties
the for Van Buren, is larger than anticipated by the
Wings particularly in Worcester which gives plurality for
the Van Buren, ticket. The for Cass has greatly fallen

party, party, with certainty Of utter defeat before them
have made very Jealous eyertions in this Sate while the
Van Buren, party have left untred to defeat the
Wing ticket They have in this unnatural achieved
temporary triumph in preventing the election of the Wing
ticket But the Wing party remains firm and unbloken
as ever Ard WHrG PRIScIpLEs in spite of all opposing
political combinations, will continue flourish in Massachu-
setts, and all over the Union.
Although the Wings have failed elect their Presidential
Electors by the people, owing the Jealous endeavos
ceders from their ranks yet the Wing Electors will be chosen
by the Legislature.
