The Election in this City.

Yesterday was quite an unpleasant day for
electionj still 1t did not deter the voters from
coming to the polls, and Portland rolled up
the glorious majority Of nearly one thousand
votes for the Union ticket We give below
the vote for Governor and representative 10
Congress. The remainder of the ticket re-
ceived about the same vote. We shall give
the official vote to morrow.
Messrs. S. w. Larrabee, Nathan Webb, n.
o. Cram and j. +. Miller are elected repre-
sentatives by nearly one thousand majority.
We have not received the return of votes
thrown Tor amending the Constitution so as
to allow soldiers to vote; but the vote against
1t in the city was very light
The vigilant and rallying committees de-
serve credit for the faithful manner in which
they performed their duties.
The Chairman of the City Committee stat
ed at the meeting Saturday evening that il the
Union men would but do their duty on Mon
day, Union majority OF more than seven
hundred would be thrown in this city. The
result shows that they did do their duty, and
they have the satisfaction now of seeing the
fruits of it.
