The Skies Bright.

4uG OhiCS ALL AG'
STEADY, DEMOCRATS The clouds that
doomed up athwart the heavens, have disap-
peared. The State election with all its con-
CONTAINS of confusion worse COMPOUNDED, and
mixed up issues worse for the mixing, is over,
and skies bright. and fair, and ccrulean tinted,
are canopied above. Then, kick at the past.
"We'll not go home till morning" What is
the use of regret? 1t is not so bad as it might
be- In fact, if any body has been whipped in
the recent election, the question at this late
day is, rho as 1t? The question is not who
struck but who got struck and the apparent
fact by the noise in the wing papers in this
and other States, is, that whiggery is the par
ty that got whipped, after all. At any rate,
they make the greatest cutlery. All the whig
mathematcians in the State have been hard
at work trying to figure out wing victory in
Maine. They have just arrived at the end of
their lesson, and find that Crosby, the wing
candidate for Governor, falls behind the two
democratic candidates in votes, just THIRTY
FOUR THOUSAND AND sEvENTY-sIX That is the
result, precisely, at the last returns and on
such fimsy foundation whiggery is hoarse
with the cry of victory. Why, party claim
ing victory under such circumstances, would
claim the U. S. Treasury for electioneering
purposes, and draw comfort from the little end
of nothing.
DEMOCRATS, STEADY The ship of State is
getting on ar even keel. The squall is over,
the decks are getting cleared for action; and
if there is a democrat who don't like his gun
or his knapsack, or would rather fight in the
rigging than on deck, or wants to change his
position anywhere, he can be accommodated.
At any rate, in the battle coming off, he has
GOT TO yIGHT-HE CANNOT HELP FIGHTING-and
we don't care in what particular mode he
does it. Then, no cross firing. Stand shout
der to shoulder. AIM AT THE ENEMY, and no.
where else. Marshal the host. Do not neg
lect, or refuse, or offend soldier. Let the
broadside of the Maine democracy in Novem-
Der, from guns well manned and well aimed,
like that of tie old Constitution frigate, be so
irresistible and effectual that another of the
same sort will not be required to redeem the
democracy from the meshes of past entangle
ment.
DEMOCRATS, AWAKE The State of Maine
must roll up a majority of TEN THOUSAND FOR
PIERCE and KING. She can do it. She
MUST DO IT. Now is the tne to prepare for the
battle. Bright skies are over us. Everything
looks well. The watchfires of the democracy
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
Lakes on the North to the Gulf of Mexico on
the South, are brightly burning. The voice
comes from New York. Ohio, Pennsylvania,
the West, the South, from Old Granite New
ampshire-Democrats of Maine, arouse-pre-
pare for action Whiggery is at work, dark
ly and secretly as usual In the desperation
of the desperate cause, Scott has been started
off astride his war horse, with his feathers and
epaulette, to raise the wind in Pennsylvania
and Ohio. The disreputable spectacle is pre-
scented of candidate for President stamping
the Union while holding an Office under gov
eminent. bargain has been made with the
freesoilers, and whiggery is now, with Hale in
the field against Pierce, hugging the party in
desperate embrace. Greeley spits on the viii
Frank Picrce-pious wings who have hereto
fore turned up their eyes in pious horror al
Catholicism, now count hopefully on Irish
votes. Scott has just been ascertained to be 6
great civilian and deserving of the office o.
President, because he settled the northeastern
boundary-and the whole conglomerated mass
of the odds and ends of everything in general
and the wing party in particular, are going in
for a man for President who never said a wise
thing out of the army. Whiggery is making
a last, desperate and futile effort.
DEMOCRATS OF MAINE, AROUSE YOURS ELVES
Look at your leader. You see in him the
spirit of true man. High in talent fitted by
nature and education, by political experience
and unbending integrity, for the high Office
you have assigned him-a New England dem.
ocrat with New England sympathies and New
England heart-with the old JACKSON fire in
his eye and patriotism in his breast-are w,
wanting in impulse or enthusiasm at such ,
time as thiss NO. Then to the onset. A
little more than one month remains to work.
Let the hours and days of that month be i'm
proyeu' Eli lnein up with Worh-Work 10
the UNION of the democracy of Maine-wor
for the negation of whig SANDERS and libels-

fuller and louder expression of the will c
the democratic party in Maine than was eve
seen or heard of before-work that shall brn

democracy than the annals of the past ca
