The elections in Maine have just shown that while the
wings have been able to make diversion through the OPP
ponents OF the liquor law, they have only exposed their
weakness, and rendered the State perfectly for
Pierce and King in the fall II with all the division
ated by the triangular fight through which the State has
Just passed, the wings have not been able TO carry the
State, what chance viii they have at the presidential
election, when but tickets will be in The heldl The
wing press here understands this business perfectly
hence their expression OF thanks for the favor their party
has received and the general expression oil hope IN the
future. They have not TO mention particulars,
and leave the future little indefinite II will perhaps
apply TO the elections in 1856.
In this State we shall have trouble at all The Fill
more and Webster will not come into the organlza
op and the few that pretend 10 so through the motion
do so merely lose their position in The party
VIII lie they hope to demonstrate in November that the
Wtig Convention committed great bunder al Balii-
when they nominated Scott, and that either Web
ser or Fillmore would have carried the State. Some
money has lately been put forward to produce momen-
iary satisfaction with the ticket; but, is usual all
occasions when candidates unpopular, the little that
is given demand for more, and the friends OF
Mr. Webster, who among the wealthest business
men and capitalists here and Boston, have disposi
ton to go deeply and defeat their Interior object
AS regards the two wings OF own party. they were
never thoroughly united than now. They have in
fact, ceased be WINGS and form but large i'm
penetrabe phaanx We have not as yet " lett the en-
envy; but when we shall really meet him. he will have
no disposition to proong the contest. The wings make
olerably respectable show in the opposition, but they
caunot rally principles The platform kills them daily
by the inch, North and South, in spite of its vagueness
The wings may swear BY cheitan, but they cannot
upon the constitution of the United States. They
will make guerilla fight in November next in this
Staie and cut off few straggers, and perhaps attack
baggage train; but the advance OF The regulars will put
them flight and all their leaders with their various pro-
nuncamentos Depend on it, New York and Ohio are
the two most reliable States for Pierce in the Union
Pennsylvania looks well enough and will give larger
majority for Pierce and King than gave for Col Biger
last fall The same causes which were then operating
are now operating only in stronger degree We shall
have larger accession from the natives, and lose not
vote in the northern counties The Irish and German
democrats throughout the old Keystone maintaining
their ground most noby in spite OF the ISLANDERS against
PIERCE promulgated among them in the shape Of tracts
and the adulaons Of SCOTS herosm in the shape OF pic
books. There ought to be picture representing
Scott writing those inimitabe letters which won him such
unenviable reputation statesman. 1t seems that
for PHYS sake, the artist was spared that task
