The Result in Maine,

The result OF the recent State election
in Maine is indicative Of the popular re.
action that Is developing itself from one

Name was the first State to declare for
the combination Of isms which united for
the defeat Of the Democratic party. Con-
mencing with Maine Liquor Lavish, and
embracing Know Notlingism, at the cleo

ponents Of The Democratic party swept
the State-the administration Of franklin
Pierce was rerudia,ed aud the fircest
spirit Of Abolihon-Li luor-L Law. Know
Nothing rapine and outrage triumphed
over conservatism, law ..and order. The
one term was enough. however. The
people Of that State had placed upon their
.necks an unbearable. yoke. They felt their
oppression, and in their might, with re-
turning sense Of patriotism, which Tor a
while had been lost in the excitement Of
novelty they have asserted the true doctrine
OF nationality as that under which they dc.
sire to live. The Democratic patty Of
Blaine, IN the OUTSET oil the late election,
adopted series Of resolutions endorsing
the administration oil President Pierce and
denouncihg Maine Liqlorism and Know
Nottingham. Upon that platform they
conducted the canvass, which has resulted
in carrying both branches of the State
Legislature, thus securing tae election Of IA
national Democrat as Governor. The vote
for Governor stands, Morrill,, the fusionist,
about AZ, 900 Wells, Democrat, abou, 49,
600; Reed. Wing, about $4,000. A ma
jor,ty Of the popular vote, il will be seen,
has been cast against the abominabe ism
party. 1t will nhw deyolve upon the
Legislature to elect Governor, which
body being Demot ratio will of course elect

q. s.. Abney, Esq.

Among the many valuable citizens who
have this fall lett, and are about leaving
our county, to try their fortunes in the
West, there ,s not one whose departure will
be more regretted, and whose usefulness
more missed, than that Of s. S. Abney, Esq.
Mr.. Abney was one Of the most popular,
useful and influential citizens of whom we
could boast. He is gentleman Of exceed
ingly urbane and agreeable manners, amia-
Bile disposition, fin. practical sense, and Of
unbeuding integrity. Added 20 which, he
is s,aunch working Democrat. In the
last contest IN this State, no man did more
service for the Democratic party than Mr..
Abney. He labored necessarily, and with
ardor and effect. He believed crisis was
at hand and as a patriot and true friend of
the South, he advocated all over the coun-
ty, IN public and in private, the cause OF
tie Democratic party. Although MIR.
Wise was not his first choice, his unseiish
patriotism discarded all personal feeling.
and with true zeal, he entered the CAM
paien, neg|ecting his own private affairs
for the interests of the party. The loss to
the Democratic party IN this county, in the
removal Of Mr. Abney, is irreparablr. -
In being deprived ourselves, Of such a
man, however. the only pleasure we can
experien in the event, is the congratula-
ton we are able to tender tue community
in which be may locate. Mr.. A., with
his family left in private conveyance, his
former home on Tuesday last, to went
their way TO Saline county, Missouri
Thence he will proceed to Kansas Terri
tory. where he purposes, after making
proper arrangements, 10 remove his family
and live. May prosperous winds, as do
the best wishes of all his old friends,
attend him. and health, prosperity and
happiness, bless him. He deserves them
all.
