The result Of the election Of lat
Monday in Maine may Be very briefly
described Is . triumph Of the purfy
Of Slavery and Of Rum, made ND .
|it is Of the congsnial portions Of the
late Wing and Democratic parties-
We state this result in 20 blunt Z nsn-
ner in order that the worst NAV Be
known It's true that the Democrrf-
ic candidate for Governor everywhere
on the stump declared himself to b.
hostile 10 the Nebrsska bill. end that
the people were told that the Liouor-
Law was the only issue but l. e
equally certain that the peculiar Fu-
sion now brought into power win
steadfastIy oppose all practical neas-
ures to rescue Kansas from the clutch
es Of Atehison and Stringfsllov, and
will be found on every occasion ready
to give substantial aid and comfort %
the Administration Of Mr.. Pierce. In
fact. the Union and the Richmond En-
qxirsr viii celebrate this AZ substan-
tally an Administration victory.
That we are panied at this result
We do not conceal. for We had hoped
better things of Maine. But il does
not appear that the Republicans there
have been guilty Of any serious error
or Of any culpable neglect. Their
vote largely exceeds that they brought
out last year. and their candidate for
Governor leads all the others now -
he did then. What has now caused
their defeat Is, in the first place, the
enormous effort made BY the llQuos-
dealers Of New York and Boston 10
affect this election and IN the second
place, the fusion between the Hunker
Wings and Hunker Democrats IN the
Legislative Districts. Last year these
congenial elements were still ssunder
and the Republicans easily carried The
State. This year the Fusion proves 70
have the majority. The resuIs viii BE-
the repeal or essential modification Of
the Liquor-Law and the filing of all
the State Executive oflcers with men
Of the new party.
The turn Of the contest in Maine
should show the Republicans Of 9TH
er States that il will not do for them
TO cherish an everweening confidence
or TO pretermit sny effort necessary 10
render our success certain. Itis true
that in Ohio and New York. for in
stance, we 60 into the contest under
circumstances much more favorable
than they enjoyedin Maine but il is
our solemn duty not only TO achieve
victory. but one Of such proportions
as will tell in behalf Of Freedom IN
Kansas. we must care that not =
friend is alienafed or vote lost by
any cause that prudence. devotion,
and wisdom can obviate.-E ". Til

Letter from Hon. john T. Brasee.

Below we present to our rerd.rs a letter
from the Hon. JoHS T. BRAsEE, our State
Senator elect from this District. From
the tenor Of his note it win be seen that Mr..
Brasee wishes it distinctly understood that
the movement now on foot in many por-
tons of the State to place him in the US.
Senate for which his many qualifications so
eminenlly befit him. twas commenced with
out his knowledge or appreciation, and that
he is not a candidate for tina. Office. Per-
sonally, we were we'll aware Of this fact
and when we endorsed the article oil
"BUoKEYE" last week. We did so withoui
consulting any one and still must adhere
to il. l. has always, we believe, been one
Of the doctrines Of the American party tc
consult no man whom they should selecl
for Office, but 10. elect him and make hin
serve, as a duty due to the country. THU
was the course pursued when Mr.. Braset
