tbs FIRST GUN fHoM Ths
NORTH.
Vermont, In her State cleo
ton on Tuesday mkt fires
the first gun from the North
since the nomination Of Sey-
mour aud BLAIR Vermont
will go Republican, ofcourse,
but the weight OF the shot
will be a matter Of some I'M
lportance and a sign, TO some
extent, Of what is yet to
come.
IRON The Herald, Aug. al
The Vermont election can
mot le regarded as SO impor-
tant In view Of its bearings
on the Presidential cam-
lpaign ~ the election which
will take place in Maine on
the 18th inst. The latter cleo
ltion viii be far more deci-

The result 81 the Vermont
election yesterday only in-
IJTeases the general interest
In Maine, under the genera!
conviction that the issue In
Maine will signify some
thing more than Vermont.

lthe bret test election on his
merits in New Hampshire
last spring down TO this day
they have expressed their
confidence IN this quiet, sem
Isible, cool and practical man

jail the signs and facts before

the battle I: for the masses OF
the people even against the
Radical leaders, have an
abiding faith in the sound

We come to this franc. Of
mind mainly from the estub-
lished fact that in the Presi-
dental year all the State
and local elections through
Iout are. controlled by the
Presidential issue, and that
accordingly the same infiu-
ences which operated In Yer
mont are operating through
out the North and will shape
the result In Maine.

THE MAINE ELECTION YEsTER-
pAY-A POLITICAL EARTH
QUAKE.
The annual election for
State officers in Maine oc-
CURED yesterday. 1t will
be seen from the returns that
the Republicans have car
r'ed fhe State by a largely
increased majority over that
OF last year, and that q sort
of political earthquake has
swept over the Pine Tree
State.
From the Herald, Sep. 10.
THE MAINE ELEcTIoN-THR
CURRENT or THOUGHT.
Although the Democrats
could scarcely have hoped
to carry Maine, they labored
hard for the moral effect of
q reduction in the Republic
can majority; but the decis-
ion is 90 positively against
them that they must be very
wilfully blind If they can
find any comfort init Maine
indicates that popular in
stinct has taken the full
measure Of the Democracy.
Bullied or cheated into
compliance by these men,
the Democracy may now see
in the verdict from Maine
that the people look upon il
as merely fighting the lost
cause over again, and are as
resolutely determined that
1t shall not win as they were
when the arena of that cause
was the field ofbattle.
From the Herald, Sep. II.
Grant is now the nominee
for President, and Greeley,
Phillips, and the Radicals, as
we'll as all the conservative
Republicans in the State, are
giving him an ardent sup
port. The elections in Yer
mont and Maine have shown
his great strength, and the
elections in Ohio, Indiana,
Pennsylvania and Iowa will
put his success beyond the
shadow Of a doubt.
Every Seward and Weed
politician in the State who
last year voted against the
FentoD ticket will this year
vote and labor for Grant and
GriBwold. The Germans,
who were humbugged last
'lyear on the lager question,
lard who have again had to
pay their exorbitant license
fee, will vote for Griswold,
the Gambrinus Of free lager,
who will give them speedy
relief. In this city alone the
Republican vote will be fully
doubled, and everywhere
there are unmistakable in
dications that on the cues
tion Of loyalty, on the ques-
tion of policy, on the ques-
tion Of morality and on the
question Of whiskey and la
ger beer the State Of New
York will go back to her old
position and cast q heavy
majority against the Copper
head Democracy.

PENNsYLyAnIA THE DECISIVE
TKsT.
The Maine election points
to the election of Genel al
Grant by a majority some
thing like Lincoln's mI,ori-
'lty Of the electoral vote OF
1854. The October State
elections in Pennsylvania
Ohio and Indiana will settle
