How the Maine Election Was
Carried.


Mr.. James Brooks, the editor OF the New
York EYrcSs, who was ia Maine when the
election was progressing, says:
PORTLAND, September -, 1864.
The balloting is going On-amid violent
stOrm-but it needs no counting OF the votes
to fnrcsee the result--whieh Is, the usual
Republican majorities in Maine-with the
loss of member of Congress, Mr.. Sweat,
who two years ago was elected 10y only l27
majority.
Sunday iyesterday), ninety out of every
hundred pulpits in the State were electioa-
eer'ag-and about all day. The Democrats
finished up their canvass Saturday night,
and then went home to sleep and to be fea-
dy to go to meeting Sunday morning. -
The priests then. generally, ninety out Of
every hundred in the State, began their
clectioneering. The pretense was the
''Thanksgiyen, which Mr. IIiucoln (the Pre-
sidentt had purposely prearranged to be on
the Sunday tSept. ll) preceding the Nan.
election lean not say how many pulpits
their are in the State, probably $500 or 3,
| 600, and of these ninety per cent. were
electioneering all day Sunday for Lincoln -
In Portland there was publicly held, Sun
day night, a Republican meeting, in which
| three negroes were parraded purposely to be
shown only to stimulate and excite the pCu-
pie.

SHORTLY after the battle of Antietam
General Haleck addressed letter to Mr..
Stanton, which the latter caused to be pub
lished. The object of this letter was to
damn the militaryreputation of General Nc
Clellan by fastening upon him the stigma oi
slowness. General Lee considered it such q
remarkable feat for Mcclellan to have re-or-
ganized Pope's broken army so quickly,
march it over one hundred miles, and de-
liver him battle, that the expression was
wrung from him that ''he General McClel-
LAM "organized that army with such celerity

DEATH or Hon ALFRED McVEGn.-
The Hon Alfred McVeigh, on his way to
his home in Fairfield county from this city,
in which he had been staying for several
days, met sudden and violent death yes
terday. The coach in which he was riding
ran off of and fell down an embankment, by
which Mr.. McVe eigh was killed. He was
well and tavorably known in this city, where
his long black beard and flowing hair served
to distinguish him in any crowd. He served
term in the Ohio Senate from Fairfield
county, and was at the time of his death
President Of the Board of Commissioners
appointed by the last Legislature to exam
inc the claims against the State growing out

THE RECENT STAGE Coach ACCIDENT -
The accident to the Columbus and Circle
vile coach, which resulted in the death of
Hon. Alfred McFeigh, did not end with
that calamity to his family. His little son,
who at the time coach upset was riding with
his father on the driver box, was also SO
badly injured by the fall that he died on
Saturday morning A heavy trunk fell from
tbs top of the stage and struck Mr.. Nc
Weigh upon the forehead, killing him in

wounding him mortally. An old lady,
whose name thereporter could not ascertain,
was also so badlp injured that she died or

When man becomes a candidate for Of

by the most humble voter whose suffrage i
solicited. This is manifastly proper and
Just and is one Of the valued privileges Of a
Republican form of government. The obso-
lete idea that the the king can do no wrong,
was secuted as !. heresy when our govern
mant was established and our Constitution
formed. 1t is in view Of this that We point
with pride to the record OF our candidate for
President as that OF the exemplary gentle
man and Christian. IL is not every mem

We commend the extract to the reader II
respective Of party prejudice;
From the National Intelligeneer, (Opposi-
tion.)
CAS- man, it is universally conceded that
Maior-G General Mcclellan possesses in the
! highest degree those qualities which inspire
respect, confidence, and admiration. Unit
ing to purity and probity of private charac.
ter as enioincd by the moral law, the virtues
and graces engraEted on that character BY
the code Of the Christian faith, he presents
in his person the embodiment of a patriot
ism which takes its animating impulses no.
only from perception of what is due to man
but from profound sense of responsibility
to God. And in this day of mutation ant
uncertainty, when SO many foundations o.
human hope have been destroyed, it is much
very much, to know that the man on whom
we rely is Il man who regulates his conduct
according to the principles and precepts o.
christianity as received, not merely in thc
understanding, but as made the rule ant
guide of his life And in every position il
which General Mcclellan has been placed i
is safe to say that his successes, aud the sue
ccsses, of the cause which he represented
have, been in proportion to the degree il
which his advice was followed or rejected b,

JOHN A. BINGHAM in his speeches charg-
es the prolongation of the war, and the
want of success to our arms, on the Democ-
ricy, but read what some of the friends OF
the Administration say on the subject. -
The committee on the Conduct of the War
Senators Wade and Chandler and Repre-
sentatives Gooch, Covade, Julian and Odoll
all friends of Lincoln and his Administration
compressed the whole truth of our. glory
and shame III this war, as Mr. Greeley nn-
nounced in speech in Brooklyn, when they
said in their report to Congress:
"Ihp administration called by the people
to the head of the Government in this the
most critical period of the nations history,
was more PROMPTLY and fully supported than
that Of any other Government of which his
tory has any record. The calls of the Pres
than complied with; no legislation which
he had deemed necessary had been denied
by Congress and the people had most no
| bly, and generously sustained and supported
what their representatives had promised in
| their name 1t needs but refer to the histo-
| ry of the Congress Just closed, its prompt
and thorough action, clothing the Executive
with the fullest powers, placing at his dispo-
/ sal all lllc TtSOuICGS VI ulGll tLilI IlluHGN
which this nation possessed, to prove that
your committee judged rightly that Con,
gress needs no prompting from them to dc
its entire duty. Not upon those whose du
ty it was to provide the means necessary to
put down the rebellion, but upon those
whose duty it was to rightfllly apply those
means and the agents they employed, rest
the blame that the hopes Of the nation have
not hecn realized and its expectations have
been so long disappointed. y
This was the verdict OF the frmcst friends
Of the Administration over year ago.
Has anything transpircd since to lessen it
force? If it We're just arrangement o
those whose duty it was to rightfully appl!
the means, placed at their disposal then
is it not doubly just one now? and wha
citizen who has his own interests and wei
fare of the country at heart, desires to sec
such inbccility in the administration pro
longel for another four years?-M. Ctatrs
