Mr. BuCHANAN,s POPULARITY.

Nothing says the Delaware Gazstte) proves more clear
" the popularity Of Mr. Buchanan than the fact that
bers Of both the opposite factions preference for
his election 1t is therefore, very common occurrence to
see know-nothing and republican meet and separate
the declaring that he would prefer Buchanan to Fill
more and the other swearing Fremont is abolitonst
opposed the Union and that he would vote for Buchan
an in preference
The reason Of this in the fact that each Of these par

whose keeping all the interests Of the government will be

Total number of votes. ......

1t will be from the above that out Of 437 votes
polled the democratic candidate received 4s308 votes
thus leaving him in minority of 1871 votes or the
election held Monday last have received returns
from 67 towns giving aggregate of $1,000 votes Ac-
cording the Geographic dispatches which reached this
city yesterday from Portland, Hamlin the black republic
can candidate for governor led Wells and Paen some
twelve thousand votes but the maores are loosely
given and in round numbers these figures may be
sderaby reduced by the official returns The strong dem
ocratc districts been heard FROM and although it is
not at all probable or possible that Hamlns present
reported majority be wholly overcome matter how
favorable the returns may prove the democratic
from the 9th and 9th district still believe that the
suit Of Mondays election will show that Maine be
placed among what termed the certain States oE the
black republican candidate for the presidency.
1t should be borne in mind that democracy of Maine
entered into the which has just closed under
disadvantages. They largely in the minority The
blacrepubcan candidate for governor known to the
whole State ongred leader of the democratic party
His abandonment Of principles with which he had been
prominently identified for period of twenty years was
recent and under such aruy circumstances as
led many unsuspcous persons to believe that he was still
in full communion with party which bad lavished upon
him its highest honors We have not the slightest doubt
hundreds may be thousands of democrats in the State
OF Maine humbugged and deceived into the support
Hamn who could not under any circumstances, be in
duced to vote for Mr.. Fremont
II would be hazardous to indulge in comment or sPecu
ation until the smoke OF the battle has cleared away and
fair view OF the field has been obtained day or two
must necessarily eapse before full and reliable returns
reach this city and, in the time, we are sangun'
enough to continue in the belief that the star which wa
once one of the brightest in the democratic constellation
States will in November shine with renewed and In
creased lustre.
