BANGOR, September 12-An election was
held yesterday in this State fer Governor,
members Of the Legislature, and six Oonsreo-
men. There were four candidates In the Geld
for Governor and sixteen candidates for Con-
gress. The following were the candidates foy
Governor:
Albion L. Paris, Democrat.
Shepherd Casey, Liberal Democrat
Anson P. Morrill,, Free Soil Democrat.
Isaac Reed, Wing.
The Governors vote 10 very close, but n =
believed that Morrill, Is elected BY Q small
majority.
1t is believed that the following Congress-
men have been elected:
First District.-John n. Wood, whig and
aboIitionist.
Second District.-John ]. Perry, whig and
abolitionist
Third Observation-Disclosures Knowlton, wAis
and abolitionist.
Fourth District.-Samuel B. Benson, whig
and abolitionist.
Fifth Distriot.-Israel Washburne, IT,, WIN
and abolitionist
Sixth District.-James A. Milliken, whig
and sbolitionist
If the above returns are correct, the aboIi-
tionists have, indeed, made clean sweep In
the State of Maine. The reader, however,
should bear In mind that these returns ara
conjectural; for Q number of days must no
cessarily elapss before the vote in each Of the
six Congressional districts can be ascertained.
Our own impression Is that the people failed
to elect GOVERNOR EDS. STAR.
