sions to which we came. The election proves
that they have penetrated and punctured the
specious sOphistry of Popular Sovereignty by
which native and imported orators expected
to humbug and deceive the people. The
$4,000 majority which the people have given
in support Of the faith Of the fathers is q
signal rebuke to the political imposter who
bavc gone through end through the State,
crying out against the doctrines Of the Re
publican party, utterins their anathemas
against its leaders, and trying their utmost
to deceive the people Of Maine into the sup
port OF principles, hostile alike to liberty
and to the true ideas upon which the consti-
tuition Is based.
And now one word more. In the result
of the election not only have our principles
been promoted, but we confess to slight de-
gree of pleasure in having our desire for per-
sOnal luxury so fully grati6ed. wehave our
personal and our public satisiactions, and
when both unite the pleasure isenhanced. The
result of the Congressional election we fore
saw from the beginning, and we joyfally ac-
eepted our post Of opposition to the candi-
date which the Democracy presented. We
cndcavorcd to do justice to the learning and
talent embodied in the nominee, possibly in
the canvass he may have learned by shaking
hands with the washed and unwashsd Of the
people something Of their heart and perehance
opened the door for the entrance OF rome
sympathy with their pursuits, and may be
better inclined towards that truth that "God
is no respecter Of persons" and that wher-
ever the image of God is found there dwells
an immortal soul, colored though the skin
nav be. If this be 80, defeated though he
is, and the sun Of his political life forever
sunk beneath the horizon, still he may not
look back with entire regret at time wasted
and money spent in the contest. Leaving
the field of politics with faculties invigorat-
ed and feelings frcshened by some contact
with the people, with better understand
ing of their character, and liylier sense OF
their sternness in the discharge of duty, he
may return to the practice of his profession
from which he should have never been lured
by the promptings of ambition. And in this
and the calm and quiet Of horticultural life,
we wish him every success.
We have nothing more to add except to
congratulate our republican friends in the
County and State on the glorious victory they
have achieved.
"GlOriously light breaketh in the East"

we have faith to believe will pour its light
over the land, and will illumine the pathway
to a greater victory on the ides Of November.

K" Behold how brightly breaks the morning.

The predictions, made with undoubtcd con-
confidence in our last issue, OF the results OF
the election have been more than verified.
Tho people Of Maine take no steps back
ward. They reai6rm, by an immense popular
vote their successive verdicts against Sham
Democracy and indifference to the spread Of
Slavery. As they were in 1856 and every
year since, so are they now, firm, devoted
and unyieldins in the maintenance of the
FUNDAMENTAL principles Of liberty on which
their government rests. The humbug Of
Popular Sovereignty Of tho Douglas stamp
is played out in this State, and its chicitain,

Demonstrations OF Joy.

On Tuesday evening the Wide-Awakes Of
Saco and Biddeford, Hamlin and Lincoln
Guards Joined in procession and marched to
the music Of band through the principal
streets Of the city. The houses Of many Of
our citizens were brilliantly illuminated, and
rockets, Roman Candles, Bengal lights and
other fire works added to the festive rcjoic-
ing. Fatigued and almost exhausted as we
were with the labors of the canvass, and with
the duties Of preparing the election returns
the night previous, We did not accompany
tho procession, and arc therefore without the
ability to give the pames Of the persons
whose houses were illuminated. We arc
told that in some cases nearly oil the resi-.
dcnces on street were illuminated and were
adorned with notices. We give some Of
these notices:
1.-THE first fruits Of the harvest, Maine
and Vermont"
"The Wide-Awakcs of Saco and Bidde-
ford. The CLEAN of their torches light the
pathway to victory"
"The Democracy SILVER in the September
gales. Let them remember that the line
storm comes in November"
"Threc lengths ahead"
Residence Of the town representative from
Bijdeford.
"Stephcn, como again."
"The freedom won by our fathers shall DO
preserved by their sons"
Since the election our Democratic friends
have demcaned themselves with commendable
propricty, and we will give them with here
and there an exception, the credit of bearing
up under their troubles with some degree of
manfnlncss, and exercising, considering the
failure of their buster and brag predictions,
o fair degree Of patience and resignation.
