POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

MAINE ELECTIoN.-Thc smoke has hard
Is cleared up from the battle-iclls in Yer
mont, when Maine follows up by another c!o-
rious victory In that strong hold of loco
focosm, the whig and anti-Ncbra>ka can,li
dates have swept the State by immense ma
iori,ics. The democratic party has recciv-
cd an almost total humiliation.
Mr.. Morrill,, the candidate of the anti-Ad-
rniniStration Democrats, the Free Sellers, the
Maine Law men, and the Know Nothngs, has
been chosen Governor by the people over all
other candidates. In some places there ap-
pears to have been general breaking up of
PARTY lines in his favor. Thus in the strong
Whic city of Bath, six-scvcnths Ofthc Wings
and three fourths of the Democrats cast their
ballots for him.
The Legislature is overwhelmingly anti
Administration and anti-Ncbraska. The
PEOPLE have spoken in thunder tones a.
gainst this corrupt and faithless Admini>,ra-
ton, which has tramplcd upon their rights and
pandcred to the worst influences, the rropa-
gandism OF slavery
In the First Congressional District, Hon.
John NJ. Wood, whig and anti Nebraska,
takes the place Of the Observation-Disclosures.
by an overwhelming vote In the city of
Portland, his majority is over 100, and in
Saco and Biddctord almost as much more
Wells, his opponent. who tried to sit on two
stools. is left out of sight bv his competitor.
In the Second District, Mr. Perry. formerly
Appointment Democrat, but now the nOmi-
nee both OF the Wings and the Morrill, Dem
Ccrats. has in like manner been chosen by a
large majority. Mr. Parry. before the cleo
ton, formally accepted the Wing platform as
his own.
In the third district, where, unfortunately.
the antiNcbraska forces we're divided, the
telegraph reports the election of knowlton
antiNebraska, in place of Hon. T.. Wilder
Farley, Wing.
In the fourth. Benson, Wing and anti-Ne-
braska, is reelected by an overwhelming
vote.
In the fifth, Washburn, Wing and anti Ne
braska. is reelected by a large majority.
In the sixth district, Niilikin, and anti Nc
braska nominee, takes the place of Fuller
Locofoco. Hon. Noah Smith was the Wing
candidate, but was not generally supported
by the party. Mr.. MiIikin has been a Wing
IN his antccedcnts.
Thus it will he seen that Maine has elect
ed an entire anti Administration delegation
to Congress. Where can the Administration
hope to choose one?
PESNsYLvASIA.-The PENNSYLVANIA Free
Democratic Convention met at IIarrisbursh,
on Wednesday, and passed resolutions with
drawing the State ticket, and recommending
Judge Pollock. the Wing candidate, for Gov
crnOr. The Native Americans have also
Withdrawn their candidate in Judge PoIock's
