Maine ELECTION.

The Eastern Argus gives the returns from
800 towns leaving few small towns only to
be heard from, and these foot up as follows:
Hamlin, (Republican) = 65,49S
Wells, (Democrat) 40,540
Patten, (Whig) 1872
Hamlin's majority over both his opponents
is SO far 1906 and there is a Republican gain
upon last year of 1885, In these towns it
appears that Hamlin's vote is 1884 greater
than Morrills (Republican) last year, and that
of Wells DemocraD is 1882 less than it was
last year OF course these 1882 Democrats
who cast their votes last year for Wells, gave
them to Hamlin this year. This was the class
Of Democrats that the Washington Union in
1852 invited to participate in the feast Of
"loaves and fishes" under Pierce
But the Congressional vote is the more i'm
portant forasmuch as the Democrats and
Wings (under ex-senator George Evans) fused
and run three Democrats and three Wings
against the Republicans, and the result of that
contest was as follows:

Restoration of the Missouri ComprOmise

AS the duties Of statesman are not precisely
those Of debating club, it always tries the pa
thence OF practical men to see effort wasted in dis
cussions from which nothing can possibly result.
In great and critical conjunctures especially, q
statesman will study to discover the measures best
adapted to meet existing exigencies, and he will
not lend himself to the promotion Of any scheme
whatever its intrinsic excellence may be, for sin.
gle moment after he is satisfied that he has no
chance OF success. Like wise physician, he will
keep himself accurately informed of the progress
of the disease, and the condition Of the patient,
and will not insist that medicine shall be admin
istered to-day, because it would have prevented
the malady had it been taken ten days,ago. 1t is
his business to deal with the disease in its present
stage, and if the patient refuse to take the med-
cine which is best in ITSELF he must not therefore,
suffer him to die while he is wasting time in vain
effort to conquer his obstnacy. If he refuse the
best medicine, he must give him the best he can get
him TO take.
We notice that several conservative journals in
the South have lately advocated the restoration of
the Missouri Compromise as the most suitable
remedy for the present unhappy and distracted
condition of the country Could the South see
the error which was committed in it's repeal and
voluntarily come forward for it's restoration, it
would at once end all controversy, but this we
conceive to be morally impossible. Therefore we
cannot forbear to remark that we consider the
discussion of this question at this time as unwise
and ill-timed The subject which now absorbs
public attention is the approaching Presidential
election, and we cannot that the restoration Of
the Missouri Compromise is question which the
National Executive viii ever, In his official capsci-
ty, be called to consider. The Missouri Compro-
mice line was established by an act oil, Congress
il was repealed by an act of Congress and, if il
is ever restored il requires an act Of Congress to
IN II tha r.
Of any Importance in the Presidential election, Il
must be because there il a likelihood, or at least
q possibility, that Congress will pass an act for
that purpose, which will be submitted to the Pres.
ident for his approval If il is certain beforehand
that no such act will ever come before the Presi-
dent, the whole question is frivolous and idle, or
at least, has no pertinence to the Presidential
election.
We suppose II viii not be controverted, that If
Congress ever passes an act reinstating the Com
promise, 1t will be prior to the passage Of the act
admitting Kansas into the Union as a State. Sub
sequent to that event. its restoration would amount
to nothing, for the two-fold reason that Congress

A GRANGE AND REAsoN.-A very prominent
and intelligent merchant of New Orleans, whose
partner is now in this city, was recently strong
and earnest supporter Of Buchanan. few weeks
ago he almost quarreled with his partner for being
in favor of Fillmore. He now, in letter that we
have seen, informs his partner that he himself is
for Fillmore; and the excellent reason he assigns
is, that he finds all the leaders Of the Buchanan
rarity in Louisiana to be thorough disunionists.- =
We have no objection to giving the name Of this
patriotic gentleman to any one who wants it.
The case is the same in the whole South
Through that entire section the leaders Of the Blu
chanan party disunionists. Disunion is the
cherished dream of their lives. They anxious
to destroy the Union as ever our glorious old
fathers were to establish it. And, If they succeed
in electing their candidate, we believe in hearts
that the Union will be in the most terrible danger.
Who can doubt that tens of thousands of patri-
otto Democrats in the South win abandon the Blu
chanan party when they find, as inevitably they
must If they walk with their eyes open, that all ts
active leaders in the South are violent dsunionsts!

ASSASSINATION OF COLONEL TURNER AND Mr..
WooLES.-The Baltimore papers contain an nc
count of the stabbing of Col. Turner and Mr..
Thomas Wooden by two Italians.
1t appears that Col. Turner returned home at
late hour, latter twelve o'clock in company with
Mr.. Woolen and that they were seated conversing
in the rear of his house when they heard a noise
in the meat house. Col. Turner called to who
ever was in there to come out, and Immediately
they saw two men running from the building, one
toward the city the other down the road. Col
Turner called out to stop them, and constable
Peter Fells, who happened to be on the road
caught the one running in that direction and
brought him back. Meanwhile Col. Turner and
Mr.. Wooden stepped toward them when the man,
an Italian organ grinder, suddenly stabbed Col.
Turner in the breast, and also Mr.. Wooden in the
breast, and cut Constable Fels across the arm and
then ran.
The cry OF murder was raised, and in a few
moments large number Of persons were in pur-
suit Of the assassin. He, however, eluded capture
for nearly an hour, when colored man saw him
creeping along fence near a hollow, known as
"gum stump" The colored man called to watch
man who was near, and the villain was secured
not without attempting to use his knife again,
which was prevented by rap on the head from
the watchman's espantoon.
The excitement among the citizens was very
great, and the watchmen with difficulty prevented
the execution Of summary justice upon the mis-
creant. He was conveyed to the watch-hoase and
committed to await the result of the wounds. His
conrade was also arrested and committed. "A
large sharp knife and razor was taken from the
person Of the accused, and two hand organs were
found at the meat house.
Colonel Turner was stabbed through the left
arm and in the left breast We are informed that
Professor Smith, who was called to him. is Of the
opinion that his wounds will result fatally.
Mr.. Thomas Wooden ia also very dangerously
and probably fatally wounded. He was likewise
stabbed in the breast, the wound penetrating some
five inches.
Colonel Turner is man of wealth and great
iberality, and prominent member of the Amer-
can party.

The Missouri Compromise.

The sham Democratic presses and orators
are attempting to excite the prejudices of the
South against Mr.. Fillmore, on the ground
that he has attributed the present sectional
differences, which distract the country, to the
unnecessary repeal of the Missouri Compro-
mise, an opinion in which every sensible man
in the nation concurs with him, and on which
opinion, they attempt to build an argument to
show that he is noao ain favor Of its restora-
ton" Every man ought to know, that res
toration Of that Compromise, by an act of
Congress, even if it could be effected in the
present state of political parties in the two
Houses, would only perpetuate the very agita-
ton which now exists, instead Of healing it.
We copy to-day an able and well-considered
article from the Buffalo New York Commercial
Advertiser, of the 18th instant "a paper pub
lished at Mr.. Fillmore's residence, and which,
it is well known, is conducted by his political
friends,) which article presents views and con-
siderations on this question, worthy Of every
mans perusal and which we would fain hope
will satisfy even Mr.. Fillmores bitterest oppo-
nents, that he entertains no wish, and contem-
plates no purpose of further agitating that
question. To heal dissensions and not to create
them, to prevent agitation and not to promote
it, has been, and is and always will be the
policy of those conservative statesmen, Of
which Mr.. Fillmore may be regarded az the
leader.
So far as we understand the views and opin-
ions of the members of the American party,
they have reached the conclusion, and we
think it wise one, that the true basis on
which the Territorial questions in this con-
nexion should be adjusted, is contained in the
7th section Of the American PLATFORM almost
literally copied from those Territorial acts Of
1850, which formed portion Of the Compro
mise measures of that year, and to which
both the great rival parties in 1852 pledged
their support as "yJanality," but for which
"finality" the present rcigning dynasty has
most unwisely substituted "alien suffrage"
"squatter sovereignty" and Sectional agita-
ton"
