Maine

The folJowiner is the result in this State: Democratie vote for Governor, 48.G51 Whig 37,850 Liberty vote and scattering 6,192 Total, 92,093 The whole vote of he State at the Presidentjal elcction in 1840 was. 92: 814, and the Whig mnjority then was 411. It is now conceded that Polk wil! have the nine electora) votes of Maine. We stated last week that the Liberty vote of Maine had increased. We had then seen only partial returns from (he State. The Liberty vote last year was 6,S51: according to to these accounts, it is a Jittle less: but the of ficial returns will probably brinff it to about the same as last yen r. Thiafalls below our expectauons. But the circumstance we mentioned last week are to be taken into account. The Whigs knew that they had no prospect of carrymg the State unless by the help of the Liberty party: henee their utmost effrts were epent in weakening its influence, and seducing frora its ranks. It haa wilhstood their most vigorons attacks. It happens, however, that the Whigs cannot lay their defeat at the door of the Liberty party: for if every Liberty manhad voted the Whig ticket, it would stlll have been defeated, nnd the Liberty party would have become annihilated, whhout being of the least benefit to its VVhig allies. EiForSs are making in M chigan to draw Lib erty men uto tbe same enare. Should thé whole Liberty party unite with ihe Whige, the probability is that ihe Jatter would lose the State, and all our votes would be indeed 'Hhrown aicay" 1 Let Liberty men be - ware! The Liberty papers of Mnine state that the prospect is noy fair fr a considerable increase of the Liberty vote at the Presidential eleclion.If challenged tofight a duel, will you refuse? {L? fcCAs I cannot foresee all the contingencies which may possibly arise, in the short remnant of my life, and for the reason which I have already staied, of avoiding any exposure of myself to ridicule, I CANNOT RECONCILIÉ 1T TO MY SENSE OF PROPRÍETY TO MAKE A DECLARAT10N ONE WAY OR THE OTHER."- Henry Clay.GJ05a A foreign nation nuifel be nn impar tial judge of tho tenor of an American docu ment, ijf not nterested ín ir.

X We have liOt all the ayes and nayson this vote, but we believe that Mr j B. Hunt voted for it, and Mn cCjLM1E" land against it. The Pomac j " nian will correct us if we are i n error - Ifthis beso, the anti-slavery voters' of that District can judge whether 3Uch & man is fit to represent them in the na tional legislature. This vote pledges him tooppose alleflbrts of the Aboliiionist, to andi.ee Congress to act on the question of slavery in any u-ay, even by constity Honal amendment. In a word, he (akes the full ground of the sloveholde nnd demónstrales that he is a most worthy and fit advocate of Polk and Dallas, but verv unworthy to represent the freemen of Michigan We would gently remind him, hatshouldhe continue long in politca hfe, he may find that there h a Libcrtv Power in the Third District, as wcll as a Slave Power at Washington.: Seven Democrats of Springfie]d Ohio, have renounced Polkism as sham democrncy, and published their adherence to Liberty principies. Also, seven Whig. from the same town have dono likewise. Nine Whigs and eleven Democrats and three othere, party not designated' ;in New Haven, Oliio, have published their determination to vote for Birney and Liberty. We copy from the Signa! Mr. Edmundos letter to the Editors ofihat paper. Mr. h.. makes one mistake in characterizing the Whig party as a pro-slavorr party. Ofcourse he will be glad to learñ as he cahnot fai] before long to do, that the Whig party is ani-slavery in so far as a nalional party can legüimately takt aclion on the subject of slavery.- Si at e Jour. The Journal admits that the Whig party can legitimately act on that subject: why have they not acted ?ÖT We trust that there will be a full attendance at the meeting of the Antislavéry men of Monroe County, Oct. 8 - Should an efficiënt organization be adopted, the Liberty vote of last year may lx trëbled.
