TIE MAINE ELECTION The Maine
State Election which took place last
week resulted in complete Republican
Victory. The state is 50 full of custom
houses along its thousands of miles of
frontier and so many of the citizens are
federal office holders that it was expected
executive patronage would have its effect
upon the election. Yet the copperheads
and "my policy" men were beaten as
never before. Az five Representatives
in Congress are Republican and elected
by large mnj orities; all of the thirty.
state Senators, and seven eights of the
House are of the Radical stripe; and
the Governor, Gen. Joshua l.. Chamber.
lain was elected by 10000 majority net
Republican gain of 5000 since last year
and ten Monsami larger than Lincoln's
majority over Mcclellan in 1864.

AFTER THE ELECTION.

"The Republicans have elected thei,
State ticket in Maine by an Increased
majority r. "llad such n result occurred
out of New England, it would occasion
sumo anxiety and alarm" "But we
entertain no apprehension that the great
belt of the middle states will follow the
example of Maine and Vermont"
REASONS WHY TIE WORLDS ARGUMENT
IN FAVOR OF AN INCREASED Demo-
CRATIC VOTE WAS NOT REALIZED.
There must of course be some reason
for the increased majority of the Repub.
llcan votes in these two States. What is
it. The Il'orM has Just found out. 1t is
because the people of Maine and Vermont
live so far from the South that they have
no affection for their Southern brethren.
'ln Maine and Vermont not one man in
ten thousand ever sees Southerner in
the whole course of his life, and dis
lance "tcnds to convert into natural
enemies, those who know nothing of
each other Now in this, we think the
JIorbi has got hold of the wrong end of
the matter 1t is not because the men of
Vermont know so little Of Southern men
that larger republican vote has just been
given, 1t is because they know so much
about them and have seen so mann of
them and studied their character and
principles so long. Quite number Of
our voters have spent four or five years
lately, at the South-among Southern
instituliuns--somc in Libby Prison, Sails
bury, Andersonville, and kindred in,tilu-
tions, where if there was anything really
amiahlc and lovely in the Southern heart
they would certainly have found it out.
These men, and many Of their friends,
with all the recent advantages of study,
have failed to be impressed with anything
al opted to inspire respect and CO. idencc
i'll the people Of the Rebel States. On
the other hand, it must be confessed that
they stand in doubt of these professions OF
'oyu'y-and see in the recent fraternza-
ton w!th them of certain political leaders
at the north, another reason for increased
care and caution in admitting men unrc-
penting TO position where under any
favorable occurrence they might, according
to the testimony of these public leaders.
make another attempt at violent, wicked,
and bloody revolution
1t is not oppression that Northern men
seek 1t is reasonable security. They
could neither be just to themselves or to
posterlty, not 10 require. And though
President johnson and II. j. RAYMOND
may denounce them as traitors for 50
doing, yet the country at large will esteem
them as true, patriotic men. IA.

aid has received light. The Maine and
Vermont elections wee convincing arau-
ments. The H1uM is convinced that
"my policy" is IA failure, and that the
constitutional amendment proposed by
Congress has no very ohjcctional features
in it after all, none but Andrew johnson
has himself at one time or another favor.
ed. The New York Commercial Ad,e,'-
teer, which has of late occupied an indie
pendent position, also under the inspira-
ton OF voice from the people, says -
The returns from Maine are significant
of tile extent 10 which the country is
stirred 10y the issues Of the day, and shows
upon which side the verdict is likely to be
given. The moral sense OF the nation is
evidently reused as il has not been for
years upon the great question of recon-
siruciion, and the people have apparently
made up their minds that, as Mr.. Beech.
er says whatever slavery put into the
Constitution shall be taken Out, and what
is lett out shall be put in" Politicians
and trmmers had better make a note of
this.
The Springfield Republican also has
got down from the top of the fence where
it has been swapping at everybody ON
both sides, and making itself generally
"odious" 1t says: The conduct Of the
President has destroyed both his party
and his policy in the North, The one
cannot be respectable or MS formidable as
was promised, or as was desirable, even,
as balance in our political contests, and
the other cannot hope for success Both
are at present going down hill very rapid

OF the President and some OF the South
ern people, arousing alarm and anxiety

JOHNSON Stock BELOW PAR.-Thc
New York Evening Post, which has sus-
tanned the presidents policy, and for
some time past occupied position Of
hostility 10 the Republ lean party, has a
long editorial regulating Andrew John.
son rs unfit for the great duties devolved
upon him as President of the United
States. 1t says plainly that the course
Of the President has not only brougl t
odium upon himself personally, but has
rendered his policy unpopular. 1t SAYS
OF Union men who We're at first disposed
to sustain Mr.. Johnson's plan of recon-
struclion, that now
"lhey respect the good faith Of Mr.
Johnson they believe the harbors secret
designs in favor of the shareholders, they
believe him TO he Il false friend to liberty
they are persuaded that he means to
misuse the great power and influence of
the Presidential Office for ends injurious
10 liberty and to the welfare and honor
OF the nation. 1t is quite useless tc argue
against these convictions. The Ietort
comes quickly: elf he is true man
why does he appoint the most notorious
corperheads to Office ! Why does he
insult again and again the Congress,
co ordinate branch Of the Government,
the direct and immediate representative
of the nation! Why are his chief
supporters, like Montgomery Blair, going
about the country revilng the most
faithful defenders AMI supporters OF
the Union Why docs Mr.. johnson
himself consort with men who, during
the whole course of the war, had only
scoln and hate for our soldiers and
for Mr.. Lincoln p We confess that
these are questions hard to answer,
We leave them TO Mr.. Seward, who,
alone Of the whole public, 50 far as we
know, thinks the President the wis,st of
mankind, and who perhaps may he able

he is filled to OVERCOMING"

Nj AIN ELEC TION
NEW YORK WORLD.


Before the election in Maine, the New
York World entertained its readers with
table of the results of elections in that
State running back through period of
ten years. This was followed with an
argument designed to encourage hope of
much larger Democratic vote, than was
given last year. "Asidc from the natural
growth Of the conservative party, the
accessions it has received from the Repub
lcan ranks ought to give it more strength
than 1t had year ago, and it lroJaJiy
will" The WORTH also said that the
" Republican organs in the State showed
signs of alarm, and were striving to impress
upon their party followers the importance
of bringing every available man to the
polls, -that throughout the State, Dem
ocrats and conservative Republicans had
joined hands for the purpose Of defeating
a common foe "Almust every mail
had brought intelligence of the detection
of prominent men who had prcviou,l,
acted with the Republicans" "Where
there is so much smoke there must be
somc fire, and we may reasonably look
for a decided increase of the conservative
vote of the Tme Tree Staie' when the
return of to-day's election shall come to
hand"
