"We have not been disturbed III our confidence

had claimed 10 as oHe Of the States certain for Mr.
Mr.. buchanan, and upon whose vote the triumph
OF the party and of sound principles depended, the
result which has occurred might have caused US
great disappointment and would have been a.
source OF cal victory to our opponents, over which
they might justly have rejoiced"
The Black Republicans" he nO10 admits,
have carried Maine, the Democratic strong
holds" have turned out to be t0eGk holds-and
yet he says che is not disturbed in his conf
dence Of the Democratic strength" Somewhere
else, and "of its certain triumph on the 4th
of November, !" S0meaohere else! Noao he
affirms he never "claimed Maine as one of the
States certain for Buchanan, and upon whose
vote the triumph Of the party and of sound
principles dependedp WheD Why just
look back to the extract taken from the Union
of the 9th, above quoted
Mol he swears by all the saints in his cal
endar, Ito wit, Forney, Sanders, Sickles, Ben
ton, and Prince John Van BUREN, that he
never euen dreamed of carrying Maine He
copies pointedly," from his confrere of the
New York Day Book, the following, to wit;
"WE HAVE LOST NoTaMa"- was never
| counted in the list of Buchanan States, and we
have, therefore, lost nothing, though we have not
! gained what we hoped for"
| Oh, no, "Maine was never counted in the
list of Buchanan States" and the sham, De-
mocracy have just lost nothing at all" AT
AL!-5they have simply "not gained what
they hoped for"-that's ALT is a mere trife
not of the slightest consequence What
change! On Friday, before the election,
the Democrats Of Maine were "full Of hope
and enthusiasm; they appear to have a most
efficient organization; and they are thoroughly
| alive to the Importance the pending struggled"
But they never counted on Maine Oh mol
All this hope and enthusiasm" was pat on
for the occasion. That efficient organization"
was merely for shoe, and their being ":thor-
oughly alive to the importance of the pending
struggle" was mere gananon, to keep Southern
gulls steady up to the mark Now hear him
further He not only did not expect Bu-
chanan triumph in Maine, but he actually
looked for" the contrary "as nearly sure"
He says, on the 18th:
"And that swelling volume of Maine aOas
looked for, as the result which was nearly sure to
follow the moral perjury of traitor, whose sole
effort throughout the contest in order to en-
title him to support to assure his old and deluded
friends that he was a tr,se Democrat and just such
Democrat as he always had BEEN"
And thus. this South-g quilting Washington
Union actually "looked for" the swelling vol
ume of Republicansm from Maine, and there
fore it was modestly declining to claim " an
overwhelming Democratic triumph, IN da-
oance" and yet proclaiming its "belief," found
ed upon "private advices, coming from Dem
ocratic strongholds," that such suppose
ton" was justified by its "private advces"
Is anybody fond of music? Well, can you
wait till November next? Ifyou can, the musi.

drum to their long home OF. political death, from
"whence no traveller returns; six groans
