which is stated, ostensibly to have been an in.
vocation Of his constitutional power to put an
end to threatened outbreaks and bloodshed In
Kansas, which their own partizans had adopt
ed means to provoke. Now that the President
has taken efficient measures to this end, we
see that the Republican" editors and stump.
crs are profuse in their terms of condemnation,
for the reason, probably, that their "emi-
grants" are in fair way to be foiled in their
reasonable schemes.

Register says:
GA monstrous mass meeting of the friends
of Fremont, is to be held on Boston Common

Webster among other definitions, gives the
following of the word monstrous:" "Enor-

sight or other senses; hateful" Such is the
announcement of Fremont organ.

cit will be seen from the above that out OF
ITO 437 votes polled the Democratic candidate
received 43 SOS yotes-thus leaving him In
minority of 10 I'll votes. Of the election held
on Monday last we have received returns from
IST towns, giving an aggregate Of 68, 900 votes
According to tho Geographic dispatches which
reached this city yesterday from Portland
Hamlin, the Black Republican candidate for
governor, led Wells and Patten some twelve
thousand votes; but as the majorities are loose
ly given, ard in round numbers, these figures
may be considerably reduced by the official
returns. The strong Democratic districts have
not been heard from; and although it is not
at all probable, or even possible, that Ham,
Inns present reported majority can be wholly
overcome, no matter how favorable the re.
turns may prove to the Democratic cause from
the 5th and 9Th districts, we still believe that
the result Of Mondays election will show that
Maine cannot be placed among what are term
ed the certain States for the Black Republican
candidate for the Presidency.
Il" 1t should be borne in mind that the dcmoc
racy of Maine entered into the canvass which
has just closed unde, many disadvantages
They wero largely in the minority. The
Black-Republican candidate for governor was
known to the whole State as q long-tried leader
of the Democratic party. His abandonment
of principles with which he had been promi
nently identified for period of twenty years
was recent, and under such artfully- prepared
circumstances as led many unsuspicious per-
sons to believe that he was still in full COM
munion with a party which had lavished
upon him its highest honors. We have not
the slightest doubt that hundreds, may be
thousands, OF Democrats In the State of Maine
were hunbugged and deceived into the sup
port of Hamlin who could not, under any cir
cumstcnces, be induced to vote for MIR. FIRE.
