and AnpIeton's majority would have been
ovcr 900. In the With Bangor Dis
trict, Hastings Strickland, (antiProyiso)
was nominated by the D mocraey' in place
of Charles Stetson, supporter of the Pro-
viso. The result is-altboogh the District
is strongly anti Whig-that Israel Wash
burn, Jr. (Whig) is elected, he being we'll
known champion of Free Soil. Mr.. Ssrlek-
land has not polled tvo-third8 of his Party's
vote: in some towns, two-thirds OF the
Democracy have thrown away their votes
on stetson in order to defeat Strickland and
elect Proyiso man. Throw out the Free
Soil question, and Strickland would have
had 900 majority.
The With (extreme Eastern) District is
usually good for 1000 to 1850 Loco-Foeo
majority. There Thomas j. D. Fuller, an
anti Proviso man, was up for reflection
the only Member Of the present Delegation
renominated. The Wing candidate against
him is jaws S. PIKE, stubborn Proviso
man. whose bitter, aaucy antiCompromise
letters (eigned j. S. P.') from Washington
last Summer will be remembered by our
readers. We have returns before US from
over half the District, and Pike is ahead.-
The chances are against him, yet he may
be elected, and the run is at all events close
But for the votes picked away by special
Free Soil candidate he would almost GER
tainly be chosen. But for the question of
Slavery Restriction, Fuller would have
walked over the course.
These, we believe, are all the Districts
in the State wherein the question Of Slave
ry Restriction or Compromise was distinctly
made in the Congressional canvass. We
call attention to the results as showing a
state of public sentiment which requires
at least to be understood, even if it is not to
be respected, They who fancy that, be-
cause certain class of influential citizens
-(more influential anywhere else than IN
Politics have resolved to call the Wilmot
Proviso humbug and pronounce it dead,
therefore the spirit which evoked and up
held it is defunct, make very great mis-
take. The feeling of the quiet millions on
their secluded farms and in their busy shops
and factories is the came now as in 1920 or
in 1847. 1t is decidedly, unequivocally,
actively hostile to any Extension of Slavery.
If the North acquiesces in the Adjustment
Just effected, it is with the clear understands
ing that Slavery is not to spread over one
inch of our acquisitions from Mexi,o be-
yond the now settled limits Of Texas Let
Slavery advance one foot, and all will be in
commotion again.
THE following from the albany Eren-
ing Journal, expresses the sentiment Of
majority of the Wings of our State, as test
ed by the votes OF their Representatives in
Congress, We do not see all the facts in
precisely the same light with the Journal,
but we entirely accord with its ayowals of
principle. 1t must everywhere be under
stood that all acquiescence Of Northern
Wings in the Adjustment just effected is
based on and measured by the conviction
that Slavery is not TO be extended beyond
its present limits The Right and the Duty
of Prohibiting its Extension by Congress,
whenever necessary, are firmly maintained
by nine-tenths of the Wings and three
fourths of the People of the Free States.
Cannon may not always express precisely
a public conviction, but Ballots are less
equivocal.- Hear The Journal;
