From the Augusta Age.
Where did the Votes Come From when the State
last year polled Ito 600 voes almost every one OF
all the parties expressed great astonshment at the
fact. The present year witnessed increase OF
$4,000. By referring to the census of 1850 it will be
that the achote number of polls in the state was
but los 480. In that year the st. Lawrence, Kenne
beck and Portland, and Androschoggin and Kenne-
beck railroads were in process of completion, and
employed vast number of men, since departed from
the State. The business of ship building carried
on 10 much greater extent than during the present
year For the last six years the constant cry has
been that Maine losing her population, through
western and California emigration and when TO this
is added The fact that vast number of our voters
who are included in the upon the ocean,
sailing the ships belonging to Maine and other States,
and that thousands either absent or unable to
attend, or in some way prevented from being at the
pollsthe question naturally arises, how 1t happens

than beole, and this year 81 900 larger than
ever until 1859. Basing our calculation upon the
largest vote thrown prior to 1855, the increase Of
population must have been in ratio nearly three
tines greater during the last six years than during the
ten years from 1910 to 1850-in other words while
it has been UNIVERSAL yconceded that the severest
draughts have been made upon our population since
1850 yet the increase hasbeen about four and half
per cent. per dnnun or equal toan increase OF 1866,
900 in SiG years-more than double that of the ten
years preceding.
Now, if we admit, as we are willing to do. that all
the voters that could he mustered were brought out
still the question recurs. how 10000 votes at least,
can have been added to the full list of polls within
| the last six years-or 100000 to our population,
while all this emigration has been going on at such
rate to call forth the most deprecatng language
from nearly all our public prints. 1t is question
we confess inability to answer Will some of
our neighbors enighten US on the subject?

vote, trust may be looked to prior to November.
And it may be we'll for other States to be wachful

lions.
No one who recolects that it was only few weeks
ago that the official announcement was made bv the
black republican Kansas Committee that the free
State men were as FIVE to one over the pro.sayerv
in Kansas, misunderstood the meaning Of
the following notes of preparatory shriekng by
the New York Evening Post:
Yesterday was appointed by the code of String
fellow and his associates the day for electing mem
bers of the territorial assembly, At the same time
delegate 10 Congress was to be chosen. If the peo
of Kansas who protest against the validity of the Or
dnances promulgated at the Shawnee Mission were
cogntion of the authority of the usurpng legislature
The very offer 10 vote admits the authority but af
ter the offer is made, the voters, if challenged must
that they will support the fugitveslave law
or their votes cannot be received 1t was very GER
tain that their votes would be challenged for the
Missouri Journals had boasted that the prosIavery
party in the Territory was fully organized and pre-
pared for the election. The vote of every free State
colonis of Kansas would therefore be rejected unless
they took this tes which, of course they will never
do, for this reason, among others, that aside from
their detesaton of the fugitlvesllve law no power
on earth has the right to require it Of them"
In anticipation OF such attempt TO revive the
sectional agitation by misrepresentation of the elec-
tion in Kansas, we remind readers that the black
republicans claim 10 have thirty thousand of the in
habitants of Kansas their side, whilst they con.
cede to the pro slavery party there only five thousand
We call attention 10 the additional fact to be found
in official letter of Gov. Geary, that effective ar
rangements have been made to secure 10 everv vo
ter the free exercise of his privilege. If the free
state choose TO follow the counses of the Pos
and Tribune, and decline to vote, the fault will bt
their own.
