The canvass in Maine is being pushed Wig
orousy. Both parties have their best speak
ers in the field, and monster mass meetings
are held daily. The Republicans are conf
dent of adding some thousands to their ma
jority of last year They then carried the
State by less than 10000 majority. Two

they ought now to get back to those figures
The news from Vermont encourages the Re
publicans and dsheartens the democrats,
and will add many votes to the Republican
majority. We wait hopefully for news from
the Pine Tree State
Que reason why the intelligent Irishman
who landed yesterday at Castle Garden will

Slavery. None now but freemen tread the

Democrat who is willing to admit that the
abolition of slavery is worth the cost of the
war Our English Minister. must be coming
over to the Republican side.
