Politics in Maine.

The democratic meeting in Portland, Maine, of which we had an account by telegraph, was a great affair. It was addressed, among others by the Hon. John S. Wells of New Hamn. shire; Hon. Howell Cobb of Georgia, and Se- nator Benjamin, of Louisiana As to the de. mocratic prospects in Maine for the September and November elections, we give the followinc from the intelligent Portland correspondert nI the Boston Times; who says:
 !" have conversed with well-informed oor- tlemen from all parts of the State. and tbav assure me that the prospect of carrvino tbe Legislature, and defeating the long heels and ramrods, at the head of whom are Hannibal Hamlin and Neal Dow, is even better now than when the same factions were swept from the nails or legislation and municipal power last year. This intelligence comes through no channel likely to be biased by prtjudice. It is the deduction drawn by cool heads from actual knowledge of the public sentiment in various parts of the State.

Tables, more than e naile in length were spread through the grove, upon which were spread from fifteen thousand to twenty thousand pounds of meat, with bread and ples without number. The procession was formed Tn the center of the town. and com. menced moving about eleven o'clock.
