Maine rene,rs her condemnation Of
Nebraska s,cindles, Border Ruf.
.fanism, and the seetiona! poliey
,chich seeks to nationalixe Slavery.
The Star in tho East shines brightly.

The people Of Maine have again spo-
ken out, in the most emphatic manner,
their condemnation Of that policy Of the
recent and the present federal administra.
tons, which has sought and is seeking,
by violation Of plighted national faith,
distorted views Of the teachings Of the
constitution, and wrong application Of its
power, to nationalizc the accursed in
stitution Of human slavery, and to bring
its pcstiferous influences TO bear with
crushing weight on the cause Of freedom,
and free labor. Last year the people Of
Maine; after one Of the most exciting can
vases which was ever known in her hito-
~, elected Hannibal Hamlin Governor
by some seventeen thousand majority
The enemies Of freedom have declared
that the people voted under excitements
and from impulse, rather than from cool
matured conviction. A year has passed,
there has been no excitment, few appeals
to the people to come up and support
party objects, everything has been quiet,
nothing of the excitement Of presiden-
tial contest; yet the people have struck
another and decisive blow for the re-
publican cause; have, after opportunity
for calm reflection, renewed, in a most
striking manner, their verdict, soelnphat-
ically given last year. They have elect
cd LOT NJ. MORRILL,, the man selected by
them as the representative Of the great
ideas which are embodied in the repub
lican creed, by majority almost equal
to that given Hamlin, last year. His
majority will be some where near FIFTEEN
THOUSAND, and both branches of the Leg
islature are overwhelmingly republican.
We are deeply gratifcd with the re-
suit. Maine stands immovcable on the
republican ground. The prescn. result
shows most unmstakeable that her peo-
pie cannot be driven from the safe ground
of sustaining the principles Of the fathers
of our govcrnmcntand that she will stand
by that policy which they originated, and
which they pursued for the first half Of a
century of our nations history.
We append such returns Of the result
as have reached us. They will be read
with deep satisfaction by our republican
readers.

country and of humanity:
Thou, too, sail on, o ship Of State,
Sail on, o Union, strong and great!
Humanity, with all its fears,
With all the hopes Of future years,
Is hanging brealhIess on thy fato
We know what master laid thy keel,
What workmcn wrought thy ribs Of steel
Who made each mast and sail and rope
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors of our Hope!
t,eaI not each su lden sound and shock,
lis Of the wave and not the rock,
Ills but the tapping Of the sail,
ANA not rent made by the gaIe
IN spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the seal
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears
Onr Ialth triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee--are all with thee
