TIE MAINE ELEOuoK.-The Augusta CMaine)
Age has the following in regard to the late election
in that State:
The Democrats have probably gained one Con-
gresham in the 9th district; and pushed Republi-
canism to the wall in the first and third districts
The Democrats have also gained fifteen Representa-
tives to the Legislature
The total Democratic vote of the State will ex-
oeed FIFTY>TWo THOUSAND! A pretty powerful mi
nority party annually increasing in numerical
strength. One year more, and the Democracy will
regain their lost ascendancy in the State
We are inclined to think that if the Democracy
had had fair deal the 18th, great portion, If
no ALL the Republican majority in the State would
have been rubbed out There are complaints from
almost every city and town in the etate where the
officers we're Republican, land most of them are of
that stripe,) that many Democratic voters we're
WrOngfully excluded from the voting list, and that
many Republicans we're Wrongfuliy permitted to
vote, against the cesrest proofs of their disquslif
cation In Portland, Belfast, and various other
places, the complaints are long and loud. Augusta
was not an exception to the general rule Could
the Democracy have mad fair deal, the Republican
majority in the State would at ell events have been
considerably lessthaR what it is reported to be.

MEETING OF DEMOCRATS The sentiments put forth
by meeting of Democrats from different portions
Of Tennessee in Nashville last week, the subject
Of Banks, will, We suppose, be generally approved
by the people of the State. The Gallatin Examiner
an independent paper, IN publishing the account of
the meeting says: ave hail the occasion, and re-
suits, as indicative of great reforms in future, in
our Banking system, and as promising the unani-
nous sanction of powerful and dominant party to
an effort towards Kidding the State of the evils
which have so long weighed down its pIosperity"-

Flowing by steam.

The St. Louis Democrat has an account of a trial
at the Illinois State Fair, of pillow propelled by
steam This pillow is patented aud has been construo-
ted by J. W. FAWKEs spOOr man, in sill but mind
and energetic perseverance,, and in these he is rich.
The machine, with crowds surrounding it, was pro-
PEELED from the grounds out upon the prairie some
half mile or more Here, the plows, six in num-
Der, we're arranged for the work, and despite the
hard, dry condition, and tOughness of the prairie
sod, they performed work steadily, and far superior
to what could have been done with pair of horses
and ordinary plows. The machine when once start
ed moves about rapidly as a good smart walking
pair of horses and plOWs strip of land about four
and half feet wide at time, leaving no balks, but
laying every furrOw true and in its place.
The Democrat thinks that although Mr.. FAwKRs
has exhibited pillow driven by steam capable of
performing the work under his own hands, the
weight Of the machine, and its complex arrange
ment, are great, to be decided barriers to its
general introduction; but for energy and persever
enne under difficulties, for mind and thought and
for having shown to the that IT Is possbe
to construct a steam engine to pillow land whether
wet or dry sod or stub bic, he deserves a general
cheer and favorable notice from the whole world.
The machine weighs about seven tons, has a drum
barrel shaped driver for prOpelling the lOcOmo-
tive and constructed that mring in soft stub
bic ground is greatly If not entirely Obvisted The
arrangement for controlling ii is such thar it be
moved back or forward at q moments notice, and
can be made to follow line not varying half an
inch in five hundred yards. The pIOws are under
control Of q lever, by which the fireman or engineer
can throw them in or ont of gear at will 1t is
mainly upon these points that this machine is supe
rior to machines heretofore constructed in this coun
try or in England.
If Mr.. FAwxEs has discovered the principle, he
may simplify the machine and reduce it's weight so
that it can be made applicable to every variety of
soil and blowing and 1t is to be hoped he may do this
