Mr.. Edttor:-Mainc men hero have
watched the papers with peculiar interest.
as they have contained the figures le'
lating TO your late election. The result
was most satisfactory. In the localities
where the Democrats have "triumphed,"
causes which are well understood were
but temporarily effective in reducing the
Republican vote, and the same will not
be repeated.
The Boston Journal, a Republican pa
per, and very magnanimous, published n
list of prominent democrats elected to the
Legislature, among which were IS. G..
Andrews, OF Brookfeld, Kimball of Port
land, Emery and Rawson of Bangor
happy quartet, capable Of doing seme
mischief. and furnishing much amuse.
ment at the capital next winter. But the
dispatch, | think, was hastily printed,
and the town of Backfeid ought TO have
had the honor Of sending one of the atore-
said representatives, while that town
might have voted for the democratic
nominee. it is not understood that the
district has gone democratic. Now, in
the language OF the Brookiicld representa-
tive. lit will not de,C" to publish such
statements.
The Boston Post has brood of chick
cns,-one tor every column OF its paper,
which il calls out when the democracy
achieve rlciOry, but which have not
been seen since the Maine election; so
the Democrats in Massachusetts, do not
see much to cro,c shout with their friends
in Maine
The Republican and Democratic Con-
veutions have not vet been holden for the
purpose of nominating State officers for
Massachusetts. Mr.. Adams, the old DEM
ocratic candidate, will not be run down
ag,in-a wise determination on his part
not 10 be beaten so many times.
Wendell Phillips has formally accepted
the nominations Of both the Labor Re-
form and Prohibitory parties. for Gov
crnor, and he will receive 4 large vote,
but no one believes he will be elected
Your readers will be informed OF the
nominations which are to bc made, and
some calculations respecting the election
of our candidates may be given.
