MArNE.-We cannot but regret the result in Maine.
1t is another edition of the Know Nothing victories
of two wears ago over, which the members OF the
order South then rejoiced. but the character OF
which they now see, and seeing, must as Southern
men. mourn over. The Democrats alone raised the
banner of the Union There no National
Americans there, although the order" nlfo
Degree included, swept the State. few old line
Wings ram ticket but it availed not.
We expect to read editorials in Southern Fillmore
papers assigning the failure of the Democrats to car
~ Maine as a reason why the South should not sup
port Mr. Buchanan, and yet Mr.. Buchanans friends
were there fighting nobly if unsuccessfully. Where
was Mr.. Fillmore and his crowd, or has he any
crowd prepared to stand up and face the music
Either he has none at all in Maine, or If he has they
90 with the majority of the order there to support the
traitor Hamlin and the other Black Republican foes
of the South. A pretty prospect for the South
strong inducement certainly for Southern men TO de-
sert MIR. Buchanan and 60 for MIR. Fillmore. The
people of the South are not fools, we take it.
o5-In the last Savannah Georgian we find letter
from Hon. C. J. jenkins, leading Wing of that
State, in which he avows his determination TO sup
port Mr. Buchanan and assigns his reasons for that
course Not that as Wing he has ceased TO object to
portions of the Democratic policy, but that as South
ern man he goes in this contest with the only party
North and South fully committed 10 oppose the progress
of anti Slavery and for the only candidate who has
any chance of heating Fremont. The date of the
Georgian is Sept 9th, 1856. If mistake not, Mr..
Jenkins was the candidate for Governor in opposition
to Gov. Johnson.
In the Sunny South, published at Aberdeen, Miss,
we find letter from c. B. Baldwin, Esq, repre-
sentative in the Legislature of that State and Wing
and "American" in which, still avowing himself a
Wing and American, he goes for James Buchanan
THE NATIONAL INrELLIGENcER.-A correspondent
of the Charleston Courier, writing from Washington
Civ saws that it is understood there hat for the first
time in partnership of nearly lifetime, there is
difference of opinion between Messrs. Gales and
Seaton the former leaning to Mr. Fillmore. the latter
to Mr.. Buchanan. This difference will not. in any
way, disturb their personal relations Perhaps this
state of things may account for the neutral position
of the Intelligencer in the existing contest. We lean
to the opinion that should the Inteligencer finally
take any more decided position it will be favour
able to Mr. Buchanan.
