How stands Maine :?

| The question as to the preferences oe the
democracy of Maine, in relation to the nomi-
nee of the Baltimore Convention, will soon be
the subject of earnest enquiry. The delegates
will be elected in this and the coming week.
So far as we are aware. there has been no gen.
eral expression of the democracy, through the
press or otherwise, in favor of any one of the
prominent men before the country, as candi-
dates for the presidential nomination. For
ourselves, we have hitherto withheld any ex-
pressions of preference, believing that the
choice of the democracy, when the time arrived
to act, would be dependent upon circumstance
es that could rot be foreseen or calculated
upon. tI.t- lU
Ofthe prominent men named in connection
with the Presidency. the contest will be un-
doubleday narrowed down to three, viz :-Gen.
CAss, Mr.. BUCHANAN, and Judge DOUGLAS
Either one of these men would command the
full vote of the democracy of Maine. The
nomination of Gen. Cass is to turn upon
question of erpediency, and so far as the NJ aine
delegation is concerned, we think it will be
the great question with them, in casting their
votes. Mr.. Buchanan has not so strong a hold
upon our democracy, as has Cen Case
Should neither of these receive the nomination
OF the Convention on the first ballot, Judge
DOUGLAS will undoubtedly be the man finally
selected. -
Setting Gen. Cass aside, we know of no man
in the nation, that would command heartier
support from the democracy of our State, than
the Young Giant the West, as Judge Douglas
has appropriately been termed. Our readers
Will recollect his famous Chicago speech, upon
the Compromise, which we laid before them in
iuii In the fall of 1850, and to which his ma
'ional fame is ascribable. Without dwelling
a. TINS time upon the popular elements of char.
ae'e' Of The man, we have only to say, that if
the choice of the Convention should fall unon
Judge DOUGLAS. he will be iriumphan,,y elected
by the people.

designated Baltimore as the place, and the

themselves into the expectation that the free
soil wings can elect President by their own
unaided efforts. A moments reflection will
satisfy any one of the fallacy of all such hopes
The wing party of the free States, thoroughly
united. ana zealously supporting presiden-
tial candidate. could not, in any conceivable
contingency, give him hundred electoral
votes. The free-soilers running a man on a
sectional platform, and thus precluding the CO.
operation of the national wings, could not car

ton will not be gainsaid. unless it be some be-
nishted individual who supposes California to
be slave State. The idea of rejecting the aid
of the South, therefore. and still hoping to tri-
umph at the election next fall, is unspeakably
absurd. We cannot make stand against the

The COLUMBIA FUGITIVE SLAVE Case

1t will not be pretended that the North can
do much better this year. But suppose the
wings were to carry Ohio and Indiana, in addi-
lion, their candidate would still fall short four
teen votes. The South gave a majority of
eleven electoral votes for Taylor and Fillmore,
and decided popular majority for the same
ticket. This Southern assistance will be indis-
pensable to our success in November, and no
man of intelligence who wishes well to the
wing cause will say or do anything to repel it.
So then, it clearly appears that the Northern
sectional ground upon which the wing party
paign, must inevitably result in their defeat.
