THE uNHoLY ALLIANCE DEFEATED IN MAINE.
In several of the desperate conflicts between Napo
leon and his enemies he routed vastly superior force by
turning the flank Of the allies with of the divisions of
his army while another engaged them in the front The
vanguard way in terror when the fierce batalons of
the young general rolled in upon all Sides like the resist
less of fiery sea- and in the midst Of the confusion
of his adversae he finished the work of carnage and of
death.
The democracy Of Maine have just passed through
traordnary conflict but they have achieved great vc
tory by the boldness and the skill of their movements
Taken in front and rear ontfanked and outgeneral-
led the abolition hordes have been completely defeated in
the first fight under the aus?ces Of the fusion Of nati
cisina fusion which began with the Maine law and know
nothngsm, and finally settled down into the type
OF African abolitionsm.
correspondent in the New York Herald writing from
Portland, Maine, before the election, declared:
The annual election in this State for State and county
officers, &c. will take place the 10th instant The
fare that ia preceding it OF extraordinary character
He then goes on to say:

Mr. Banks is here from Massachusetts, fighting against his
old cronie and is Gen. Wilson, who brings his

been here has not helped them His violence
good deal of disgust and will be found to have essened the
Republican vote Our republicans dislike the national
but not the national Union which Mr. Wade
does not love- judging from his language. Mr. Fessende
Mr. Wahburn, and Mr. Perry tho chief champions Of
domestic breed O the gentlemen named five members
OF the United States Senate and the members of
United States House ofRepresentatves.
Nc. Niess letter to the Portland meeting was bitter
That from Mr.. b. F. Butler of your State, much
liked by those to whom it addressed Mr. Dixs only
laughed at. For him to affect be opposed to boiling
among democrats after his conduct in ls4S when he
went into the Van Buren, agns his sense Of
right and in opposition to his feelings, is indeed capital
joke"
Our readers will not forget the speech of Senator
Wade at the republican know-nuthng meeting at Port
land few days before the election We once more copy
portion of his infamous language:
There really union now between the North and
the South, and he dsped upon earth enter
ined feelings Of bitter touars each other than
these @o sections o. the republic The only salvation Of the
Union therefore, to be found in dvcstng entirely
from all faint OF slavery To suppose that the Union can
stand fundamentally for the propagation Of ayerv
was to believe that God Almighty unjust and sides with
the oppressor.
But there Providence who rules the destnies Of
fore he be considered tho only true
this Union who seeks to purge Of slavery The crnpno
OF doughfaces had brought about these amentabe results
aud the sons OF the reapng the punshment
their cowardce The South had educated into the be-
lief that the North cowardy porooas and they have
acted this belief in making their demands until the
North has borne than Quakers would bear At last he
reoced that compromises end the North has
been driven into close corner where they must fight or be
ensaved - He spoke Ohio audience some time
SINCE and advocated tho delay the bill ~
stave the administration into yielding the restriction Of the
missouri Compromise, when person asked what he would
90 tne southern members should put their hats and
leave the ball He replied that he would dogs on
them, snd all the people cried Amen Applause He had
come TO the conclusion that the spirit actuated the re-
publican party Of Name"
The knownothng leaders, Mr. Banks, General Wilson
Senator Hale Mr. Washburn Mr. Fessenden acted in COM
pany with this man. and by their presence and
ton endorsed bis treason They overrun the State They
made up the issue against the Unionaganst the prncne
OF the Nebraska bagans President Pierce and his adj
ninstratonand in favor Of the sweeping prescription
OF the white emgran and the adopted citizen They Of
Tered these issues to the people of Maine They insisted
upon verdict on the Indictment And they have got
what they deserved, if not what they desired
Maine is State in which, while foreign-born white
man is practically disfranchsed whether he can vote
or not) negro enjoys The right Of suffrage and
may even be elected to high Office This ia the result
OF know-nothing and abolition legislation It is the
State in which the Maine law is executed At thu min,
OF the bayonct at the sacrifice Of human life II i.
the State SO overrun by abotonists and know-nohncs
that the democrats last year almost annibated II
is the State in which the friends of the Nebraska bill have
been insued and threatened by fanatical mobs
The steady frmness of the democracy Of Maine how
ever, who uawed by defeat and cheerful and united in
the midst OF the rnendacity and magnty Of their COM
bned enemies, steadily prepared for the conflict now so
Vciorousy decided presents example to the democracy
of other northern States which be too thoroughly
and too closely studied and observed They boldly on
posed the doctrines and the issues the know nohines
and aboonsts and the result has been an unexample,
victory In this good work they ably and eectualy
assisted by the national wings of Maine led by such men
ms Evans and Farley and checred by numbers who
regard the absorption of the old whg party by the know
nothing and abolition combination as a happy deiverance
from their former party bonds.
Here them is suspicious commencement of the reac
ton in the free States Here the northern echo to the
last victories of the democracy Of the South Maine was
the FIRST to lead off against the democracy in 1854 and
that she has realized the bitterness Of the cup which
she has been compelled DRAIN she promptly falls back
