THE NEW SENATOR From MAINE.

The Portland (Me.) Inquirer, the organ OF
the Free Soil or Independent Democratic party
in Maine, rejoices over the election to the UNI
ted States Senate Of William Pitt Fessenden.
We presume tho statement il makes may be
relied upon if SO, it has reason for its rejoi-
cling. 1t says:
oHe is not elected as party man, but as an
honest man, irrespective of party, and Gboue
party, for the purposes Of just and truly Dem
ocratic Government. No one party had the
power to elect him. and to no oae party does
he owe special allegiance or obligation. Three
parties combined have secured this result.
True. one vote in the House and three in the
Senate were given for DR.. Hubbard, but with
the intention of concentrating every vote on
Fessenden at the second ballot. Mr.. A. Z.
Morrill, and his friends were as firm and true
for him as any other men.
"The Free Democratic party cast solid
vote for him in both branches. And they did
not do il blindly, nor inconsiderately, but on
solid grounds, such as would have received the
ready appreciation of every reasonable friend
Of Freedom in the State. Mr.. Fessenden goes
to Congress to maintain the cause of Freedom.
He fully adopts its principles and objects as dd-
Uocated By the Free Democracy, and it IS mat
ter of devout congratulation that Maine has
been able at this crisis to send such man
there
alt is remarkable that the party Of Freedom
in this State has decided the election of both
Of our Senators in Congress. 1t is q proud
fact, illustrating its value and its power. The
party now sends MIR. Fessenden to join Mr..
Hamlin, and support him in his firm resistance
to the present demands of the slave power.
Had it not been for this party, both seats would
now be filed by the supple tools of that power
Such facts will win to us the hearts Of the
People Nine round cheers for the election Of
William Pit Fessenden y"
When cooperation between Free-Soilers and
members Of other parties accomplishes such
results, it is worthy Of all praise.

PAULD1NG DEMOCRAT.

This excellent paper has been recently es-
tablished at Paulding, Paulding county, Ohio,
by Mr.. A. S. Latty The editor is warm
hearted, welIinformed lrishman, one of the
mostprominent among the Old Line Democrats
in his section of the State, who with thousands
more cannot abide the recent endorsement Of
the Baltimore platform in Ohio. His paper is
devoted to the advocacy Of Democracy as set
forth in the Ohio platform, as it was before
the late surrender to the Slave Pewer-which
is the Same Democracy, indeed, as is taught in
the Columbus and Pittsburgh Independent
Democratic platforms. Mr.. Latty is an able
writer, and his paper cannot fail to do most
effective service to the cause Of Freedom and
Progress. We hope our friends in Ohio, and
particularly in northwestern Ohio, will see that
it receives liberal support.

NUMERICAL Laws OF THE SExEs.--Tht
last census develops some curious facts. ],
fixes the numerical law Of tho sexes thus
/. There are more males than females born
by about per cent.
2. At 20 years Of age this preponderance ],
entirely lost and there are more females thar
males.
3. AT 40 years, the balance is again tho
other way, and there are more males thar
females.
a. At 20, the sexes are about even, and the
ultimate age Of the human being is reached
without any decided advantage to either sex
Between 20 and 100 years Of age, there are
1891 more white women than there are males
being more than per cent. Of the whole mum
Der. Beyond the age Of 40 years, the proba
bilities Of longevity are much greater fol
American women than for mon. This con
trasts singularly with the fact, that the ply
sique Relatively Of American women is inferior
to that Of American men. That fact as i
shown, however, tells tremendously on womer
between the ages Of 20 and 40, when Their
mortality is very great.
The longevity Of some women is very extra
