FROM MAINE.

BANGOR, July l, 1850.
To the Editor of the National Era:
Ii will doubtless be acceptable to your readers
to know something as to the state and prospects
Of Free Soil in this Down-East State Our State
Convention hiss just come off The busy season
Of the year did not prevent full attendance from
all sections of the State, except the remote and
belated Aroostook. Every other county was ably
represented. The session was at the beautiful
village of Water~ille.
The Convention attracted much interest from
all parties as its action was expected to have an
influence on the all-exciting question of the cleo
ton of United States Senator, now pending before
the Legislature. The division Ia the Democratic
party, which cuts of from Mr.. Hamln about one
third of the votes Of his party, threw into the
hands Of the Free Soil members Of that body--ten
in the House and FIVE In the Senate-the balance
of power. MIR. Hamiin, by his course on the Free
Territory question, had endeared himself to our
party; and feeling was extensively prevalent,
that our FRIENDS should at once 90 ia and secure
his election Had the question depended only In
relation to him personally, oil would have taken
that view. Had it come to the vote without the
signs and signals which preceded it, every Free
Soil vote would have been given for his reelection
But it was Mr.. Hamlin's misfortune that Gov.
ernor Hubbard was the chosen candidate Of the
message; his disseminating "the agitation" of a
certain question Unnecessary at this time, and
perncious; !" the disposition Of all the papers Of
that section Of the party TO endorse that doctrine
and statement that Mr.. Hamlin himself had en-
dorsed it the delay and vscllation to pass resolu-
tions reatirmative ofthe instructions Of s49 the
backing and filing; the voting down and then vo-
ting up on these matters; and, above all, the sus-
pioiOus presencs, At such time, of Senator Brad
bury, from his post at Washington, using every
influence and every art to obtain from the Legis-
lature Of this State what General Cass obtained
from that Of Michigan, raised such doubt in the
mind Of our friends In the Legislature, that no
appliances or urgency from within or without the
Legislature could satisfy them that they were At
liberty to vote for msu whose fortunes aud hopes
are inseparable from bis party. They wanted 10
see where the party was going before they could
feel certain q to his course Were the resolu.
tions to be psssed2 Or, were those Of is49 to be
rescinded or Michlgandsred3 The resolutions
hung mid-sir They had been once, In form, voted
down; but premises were lAvishcd II would not
answer. II was NOT until amer seven ballotings in
the House, thai hopeless Of compromise with the
Hunkers, the resolutions were passed through
that body.
