The Maine Qustion SetfIedf

From the Boston Atlas.
The Maine QustiOn Settled!
MAINE HAS SPOKEN. From her prosper
Gus and growing cities-from her well-tilled
and thrifty farms-from the depths of her
dark, green forests, comes to US the deep,
earnest sentiment of men who have been
educated not only in the light but in the
laws of the Republic. The hard hand and
the sinewy arm, which never paid tribute to
master, and which have won content and
competency by an uncompromising struggle
with the sterile soil; the brave yeomen Of
Maine, who have turned it from wilderness
into a garden; the creators of their OWL
fortunes have spoken to us for FREE SPECIE
and for FREE LABOR. They heard the CRY
of their fellow-laborers in Kansas; they
heard the wrongs which have been heaped
upan those unhappy emigrants; and they
vowed, In their quiet New England homes
that the privileges and immunities which
were making their daily lives blessed should
be extended to those who had gone out
risking all for the sake of freedom.
They have spoken They have uttered
the word which frees New England of Ne
braskaism forever. The old settlement
knit together by so many ties, memorie,
and associations, finds itself subjected to nc
rupture in the present struggle. We stant
shoulder to shoulder.-With united rank:
we advance against the venal squadrons o
the Administration. MAINE New HAMP
sHIRE-VERaoNT-MAssAcHUsETTS-RH TS-RHoDE
ISLAND CONNECTICUT we will stand togeth
er, as of old, leagued in the holy cause o
liberty. Let net the fraternity be dissolved
Let dear old New England keep to he
plighted faith
1t IS difficult, in moments of victory, t.
keep our exultation within the limits of be
coming modesty. But no man can overes
innate the moral effect of the Maine tri
umph. 1t will cheers our friends in Penn
sylvania. 1t will strengthen the arm of the
gallant Bissell, who is now leading oul
squadrons in Illinois. It will strengthen
our friends into majority of fifteen thous
and in Indiana. 1t leaves us free for the
battle ground of Pennsylvania; and thai
shall be carried, if willing hearts and strong
hands can carry it.
Many persons express astonishment al
the result in Maine. But they forget the
great moral conviction of the popular heart
which rises ssuperiorto the wileS ofpoliticans
which arrives with unfailing accuracy al
political right: and which is not to be mis-
led by the spccious pretensions of faction
lists. Those who have not, during the last
week, witnessed the deep devotion to prin-
ciple in Maine, can have no idea of the fer.
vor and sincerity which has determined the
election. Men went from their knees, and
from wrestling with their God, to the ballot
box. II was His cause; He had it under
His own Right Arm, and they did not feal
defeat The coId-blooded gentlemen who
write for the Courier may call this enthusi
asm; they may call it fanaticism; they may
call it what they please but in their polit
cal calculations for the future they will be
obliged to estimate and respect it.
And now, Republicans Of the Union
New England sends you greeting! An in
famous coalition has been troddeu into the
dust. Overthrow in Maine, it will be over
thrown in Massachusetts. We shall pre-
sent, in November next, an unbroken front
We shall give the gallant PATHF1NDR and
the patriotic DAYTON 100000 votes And
as we do our duty we call upon you to do
yours. We shall be in the thick of the bat
tie; let us, brethren, find you there! For
FREEDOM, FOR LIBERTY OF SPEECH, PRESS,
and PERSON, let US strike! CLOSE UP THE
COLUMNS AND FORWARD!
BOYS DO YOU HEAR THAT?
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana SPEAK NEXT
on the same day, October 14th. Let it be
a triple thunder-clap! Ohio the avenging
bolt!
''CLosE UP THE COLUMN, AND FORWARD y
BUCKEYES, HoosIERs, WOLVERINES, BAD
GERS SUCKERS, HAwKEYEs! hear We not the
tramp of the Hosts of Freedom on all the
green hills of New England? The uncon-
quered and unconquerable young PATHFIND-
