The Name Election.

The Chicago Tribune raises such a shout over
the result Of the Maine election, that one would
almost think the editor really imagined there was
something to encourage Whiygery in that quar-
ter. I'VE had made no calculation upon anything
from Maine says the editor. I'VE had given
herupas entirely joined to her idols. The intel.
ligence from her elections came upon US like a
thunder clap in a cloudless sky" &c. Let US see
how little it takes to astonish this editor with bis
good luck,
There were four candidates forGovernor at the
late election in Niaine-two democrats. one vbig
and one Maine Law. The vote stood as follows
Hubbard, dem, 25.3l2
Chandler DEM 1853
Crosby, whiy l69Os
Neil Dow, Maine law, 692
Thus, surprising the whole vote given for Dow
10 be wing, it still shows the entire wing strength
of the state to be but 1880 considerably less
than one.third of the entire vote
Ga congress the democrats were so divided up
in several districts, that the wings have accident
ally succeeded in elccting two out Of the mem.
bers, where they really, by the vote on governor
we're entitled to none. The democrats have cleo
ted three members, and in one district there is no
choice.
The contest for members OF the legislature
turned so purely upon the liquor law question,
that the New York Tribune itself says the result
can in no light be regarded a, a political test
Yet the wings have nothing TO boast Of there.
ln the senate they claim majority, although half
the districts have not elected, and other, remain
unheard from. Ia the house the democrats have
large majority.
How the wings can derive comfort from such
state of the figures in Maine is more than we
can imagine, unless it be upon the principle that
'the least they can receive is infinitely more than
they deserve or dare to hope for" We should be
delighted to see the wings have many more such
victories.

ANOTHER RICHMOND IN THE FlELp,-Grandfa.
Their Drrcu, Of the Chicago Advertiser, disgus,ed
with the demagcgusm, and the time serving,
wanto fpriuciple character Of modern wbggery,
announces himself rs an independent candidate
for Congress, on the old Massachusetts wing plat
form. Mr.. Dutch has for four or five years, in
spite Of the most interruptions opposition, main
tanned his position at Chicago as an advocate Of
wing principles in opposition to those who, aban'
doniug principle, seek merely to build up the
wing party, for the sake of the spoils. MI. De
vote for congress will thus exhibi, the strength Of
unadulteratcd whiggery 10 the Cook district.

week, unanimously nominated John Wentworth
for Congress Although we have no, always

he has never been so bad democrat that We

always served his constituents in congress, were
such as might well cover up multitude % faults.
We congratulate osr friends Of the Cd district on
their prospect of having so Industries and eff

they affected to despse him, both Douglass aud
Breese were compelled to admit, that to John
Wentworth more than to all the res, Of our dele

which over 700 miles Of railroad are now being
built in this state Mr. W is not one Of your nice,

where to find him. May not only the Cd, but our

Others interIered, and party after party bocame
