was feasted and caressed by Senator Fessen-

that reused the solid men of Maine to action,
and disregarding all minor issues, and all
personal questions they put their shoulders

Cheering,

Glorious accounts from all parts of the
State reach us of the cheering prospects oil
the Democratic ticket. The meeting at Ak.
ron was largely attended-more than three
times the number present than there was on
Saturday to hear the Hindoo oracle, Mr..
Griswold, and the Professor of egotism, Mr..
Hiss Brown, and the great guns of Fusion,
who were announced, but didn't come.
At Ashland, Gov. NEEDLE challenged Mr..
CHASE tounite the meetings, and both speak
from the same stand, the Democrats having
much the largest crowd, but Mr.. Chase re-
fused. b sFs
How the cripging, sneaking whelps fear
discussion. They dread daylight and sun
shine, as their master, the great head of their
Order, breads righteousness Darkness,
dark-lanterns, signs, passwords, and.signais

Kansas -AHaifs--GOy. Shannon.

BY telegfaphic despatch, it is reported that
Gov. Shannon, Immediately after his arrival
in Kansas, delivered speech, in the course
Of which he stated that he regarded the late
slave-holding Legislature of that Territory

self in favor of Kansas becoming slave
Etate. We cannot believe this report with
out further evidence. We think it must be
an error. It bears the marks of falsehood
put in circulation by the Fusionists for the
purpose of making votes for CHASE. But If
Il is true that Shannon has SO expressed him
self, we have only to say that he has disap-
pointed the hopes of his northern Democrat
&c friends, betrayed the interests offreedom,
and deserves the indignant scorn of every
true-hearted Democrat in the whole land.
The doctrine of popular sovereignty, which
il a cardinal principle in the Democratic
faith, we had hoped to see fully recognized
In the regulation Of Kansas affairs. Three
fourths of the people in that Territory are
in favor of freedom, and il left to themselves,
would adopt constitution and laws prohib-

session was not in any sense constitutional

and acting with these violators of law
(if he has done SOY, has endorsed this out
rage-has rejected the Democratic principle
Of popular sovereignty, and abandoned the
Democratic platform. Henceforth he should
be classed among the enemies of the De-
We sincerely hope, for the sake of Gov.
Shannon, as well as the interests of Kan
vas, that the report may prove to be errone-
ous.

received information which warrants us in
believing the report in regard to Shannon to
be an unmitigated falsehood. 1t is a false

Maine EIctIOn,.

1t is now established beyond all doubt
that Maine has gone Democratic by largt
majority. This is truly glorious victory
Our political opponents have made theil
boast that they would carry every northern
State. Maine was the first in the field
Senator Wade J. r. Giddings and host Of
other disunionists, re sent for to canvass
every town and city. They did so, their
sectional views and treasonable settlements,
were scattered broadcast every where a.
mong the people. And the people have re-
buked them and their party in terms clearly
understood. There is too much love of coun-
try, too much reverence for the constitution
and the laws, in the hearts Of the inhabitants
of the State, to tolerate the treasonble and
reckless schemes of the SO called Republican
party. a%aa }i stt "at
The Democratic victory in Maine is only
the beginning of our victories In a few
weeks Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and 9TH
er Northern and Western States will wheel
into line carrying CONSERVATION and terror
into the rank of the dark lantern order
Know Nothingism, Know Somethingism
and all other of the innumerabIe isms that
are now united for the purpose of pulling
down the Democracy, will be scattered to
the winds and their ruins only remain as ey.
licences Of the foolishness ofsome men, and
the dishonesty Of others.
Let Democrats take courage. The skies
are Frightening and the day when the great
doctrines Of liberty and equality shall.
triumph, is at hand.
