4H The Petersburg Intelfgencer, q Wing pa
per- takes the following just and manly view of the
late election in Maine. The sentiments of the Inte-
gencer are in striking contrast with those of the Whs
presses of this State. The Intelgencer says:
"Ihe Democracy has been Overwhelmingly defeat.
ed at all points, having not single member of Con-
gress returned and having lost their Governor and
the majority of both Houses of the Legislature If
things were as they used to be-fths defeat of the
Democrats had been accomplished upon legitimate
issues, after full and fair discussion before the
people of the great political principles which divide
the two parties-then we should rejoice in announ-
cling it. But this is far-very far from being the
present case. A so-called Wing triumph has been
achieved, which is triumph in fact over the Con-
stltution and laws. 1t is triumph of faaaticism
over reason-of insurgency over patriotisn-of
chaos over order. 1t is triumph of the worst pas
slons over virtue, and we see in it nothing that
we do not heartily detest. We do not hesitate to
denounce this miserable victory, in which
cognze no Whig feature to enttle it to our bene-
diction. The enemies Of the South have obtained
possession of the high places in Maine, and if we
are expected to give them the right hand of fellow
ship on the occasion, grievously will that expecta-
ton be disappointed. We have softer words
for Whig Abolitionists than for Democratic oncs.-
We have no more political respect for the Fessen-
ders and Stewards of the North than we have for
the Chases and the Summers We despise them all
alike enemies to the Constitution, the South and
the whole country. This Maine election has been
Car led by the Abolitionists through the most abo
minable means. 1t is the old protligate plan which
operated so beautifuHu in behalf of Sumner and
Chase, and to which the country is indebted for the
honor OF being represented in part, in the United
States Senate, by these unenviaby distinguished
personages. 1t is coalition under the name of
FUSION, appellative which, if it only had anoth
er syllable pretixed to it, would be much more
suitable one-for it is nothing but fusion in the
worst sense of the term. In making these remarks
up on the result in Maine, do not speak upon the
authority of Democratic statements-we get our in
formation from journals which used to be respecta
bly, Whg in their politics, and which still claim to
be so. The New York Tribune for instance, comes
out with reJocings just as if it was most merito-
rious success. Altogether" it says cit is one of
the most satisfactory and cheering elections we
have had to record" If the defeat of the
Democratic candidates ALL it would still be bad
enough, for we have no heart to rejoice at the elec
ton of rank Abolitonist such Democrat as
as MOSES MACDONALD, who fearlessly voted for
the Nebraska bill and thus proved himself true to
the South. But an equally faithful Whig member
has likewise been beaten by this Abolition con-
Fusion league, and We suppose that the ecstacies of
the Tribune are somewhat multiplied by the cir
cumstance. 1t but few days ago that we
spoke of the Hon. Mr.. Farley he Representative of
the 3rd Congressional DistricD as an honorable ex-
ception from the general disaffection towards the
Constitution which characterZes the Northern Wing
party Inns gentleman mas oeen superseded, along
with Macdonald by con-Fusionist, andwe chroni-
Gle such intelligence with the deepest regret and
modification. Shame upon apeople that could thus
under any influences discard from their service such
able, high-minded and patriotic Representatives! !!
When such condition Of things as these exists in
community, then, indeed, is private station the
post Of honor-for would as soon be the Repre-
sentative of herd Of Hottentots Kaffirs as of
such constituency. Mr.. Farley has cause enough
to blush for his people, but for himself for he
has acquired reputation ofwhich he may well be
proud The Abolitionists in raptures at his de-
feat, and they make the most of it \ brighter day
it is to be hoped will shine upon him, for it is i'm
possible that such motley, worthless party as the
confusion -mongers can long enjoy the fruits of
their unholy combination. Ant-Nebraska men
have been elected in every District-an ant-Ne-
braska Governor has been chosen, and there will
also be large antiNebraska majority in the Lcgis-
ature. Well, what is to come next?
