THE SLAVERY QUESTION IN CALIFORNIA.
The following letter, which we copy from
one of our California exchanges, incidentally
reveals the plottings of the Slavery men in that
new State:

RESULT OF THE MAINE ELECTION.
- L II,
the present Democratic member, is reelected
to Congress from the sixth district of Maine,
and not MIR. Milliken, as heretofore stated.
The vote in the district is, for Mr.. Fuller 1900,
Milliken 4,665, Smith 2,447. These returns
show that Mr.. Fuller has plurality of 1873
votes, which elect him, although there is a
majority against him of 2,3O9 votes He voted
against the Nebraska bill, and is the only DEM
ocrat elected from the State. Both of his COM
petitors were also ti-Nebraska men.
The complete returns for Governor show
that Mr. Morrill, falls LOO votes short of an
election by the people
The election of Mr.. Fuller is due to the
Hunker Wings who preferred the election Of
a Hunker Democrat, to good Free-Soiler.
The non-election of Mr.. Morrill, by the People,
is also to be credited to Hunkerism CT the same
sort

A letter from Madison, Wisconsin, to the
editors of the Tribune, incidentally says
The Republican cause looks well in this State
The nominations for Congress are all made and
each of the old parties is represented in the
candidates. In our own district there is no
doubt of Washburne's election. We look also

GLASGOW, KY, Oct. 3, 1854.
To the Editor of the National Era:
The Baltimore Conventions of the Pro- Sla-
worry parties, Wing and Democratic, resolved
against the discussion of the Slavery Question,
and still pursue the course best calculated to
keep it up. Their course is constantly aggres-
sive They are determined to carry Slavery
connection with the acquisition of territory
south, where Slavery exists or will 60. The
next object, as formerly minated, will be to
inf,sse Slavery into the nominally free States.
The last named object may not be attempted
yet, but it will be accomplished, if they succeed
in their first objects
The idea of introducing Slavery into the free
States may seem ridiculous to some; but when
| consider how easily the Pro-Slavery party
succeed in all they undertake, how they are
emboldened by success, what SEQ in their
movements, and what hear in private circles
here, am bound to believe that to be their
object When we acquired territory from
Mexico, il was expected here that Slavery
would be excluded from it, and the tone OF
politicians was, acquiesce; but as soon as
Northern dspirants began to give way, the tone
changed il was then success or disun'on, and
no notion of disunion ell the time.
Permit me to say to the friends Of Freedom
in Kansas, or those who 60 there, to be firm
and determined Do not be driven away from
there. The Pro Slavery party viii exert every
nerve to plant Slavery there. Great conse-
quences depend upon you. Success on your
