GLORIOUS'NEWS FROM MAINE!
The election for Governor, Members of
Congress and State Legislature in Maine, took
place on Monday last, and the partial returns
received indicate the election of Hon. HANNI
BAL HAMLIN as Governor, by a handsome ma
jority.
The returns from 51 town* give Il.vwr.ix,
(Republican,) 18,400 ; WELLS, (Buchanan,)
10,000 ; PATTEN, (Whig) 2,000. If the gain
as far as heard from is carried out throughout
the State, the majority will be over 12,000.
JOHN M. >V oof> is elected to Congress in the
frst district, ami CHART f.s J. OILMAN in the
second district—both Republicans.
ikjJ- Tlie Mount Vernon Hotel, at Cape
Ma y, was entirely destroyed by fire on Friday
night. It was the largest hotel in the world.
Five persons were burned to death in the
flames. They were Mr. Cain, one of the pro
prietors, with his family. It was the work of
meendiarv, supposed to be an Irish woman, to
whose husband Mr. Cain owed a hundred dol
lars, and who was heard to utter the uiost se
rious threats #gainnt Mr, Cain. tbe has been
arrested, and sent to jail on flic charge. The
Toss is very heavy, but the mortgage holders,
it is said, aire insured to the amount of from
SBO,OOO to SOO, OOO. Most of the faruiiure
had been removed.
ARKANSAS. —The returns of the recent elec
tion in Arkansas are all in except from the
county of Mississippi. The whole vote east
was 4:>,148, and the majority of Conway, I)em.,
for Governor, was 12,694. This is the state
which was reported to have gone fortiic Ame
rican ti.-kei, ami wlucb is otili claimed for Fill
more.
THE STATE TICKET.
Tl e near approach of the October election,
should impress upon every Freeman the im
mense importance of electing the Union State
Ticket. We consider that the success of that
i ticket in October seals the fate of BCCHANAN
in November, and from every indication we
confidently expect its triumph. Its success
now, is worth all the efforts that could be
made between October and November elec
tions. It. will demonstrate to a certainty
that Mr. HI.THA NAN cannot carry his own state,
and will strike dismay in the ranks of the Bu
chaniers at the North. We trust our friends
in the several townships of this County will see
I that the State Ticket receives every vote to
i which it is entitled. This done, and the bat
tle is already fought and won.
RENOMINATION OF MR. GROW.
The re-nomination of Hon. GALFSHA A.
GROW by the freemen of this Congressional
district, is a deserved tribute to the ability and
faithfulness with which he has represented the
wishes and feelings of his constituents. Placed
at the commencement of the present Congress,
at the head of the Committee of Territories,
he has discharged the arduous and responsible
duties of that elevated position with great
credit to himself. Mr. GROW is now qualified
by experience in Congress, added toJiis high
' abilities, to be a useful member. Conversant
with the rules of the House, he occupies a po
sition which can only be attained by long and
severe training in the Halls of Congress.
His re-nomination has been the spontaneous
expression of the public voice. It is the uni
versal recognition of the fact, that he is now
able to represent this district with more use
fulness and ability than any other man in it.
The times demand that the North should not
dispense with the services of her tried and true
men. We need in the Congress of the nation
such men as GALFSHA A. GROW. The popular
appreciation of this truth will be uttered at the
; ballot-box in October.
!
SENATOR.
The Senatorial Conference which met at
Lacevville, on the sth inst., placed in nomina
tion, as the candidate for State Senator, E.
REED MYRR, of this county. The nominee is
well known to the citizens of this county, and
needs no commendation at our hands. We
can assure the freemen of Susquehanna and
Wyoming that he is in every respect worthy
of their confidence and support, To abilities
that qualify him to discharge the duties of the
office with credit, Mr. MYF.R onites a high ap
preciation of correct principles. He has ever
been the true and steadfast friend of Freedom,
and in the Seuatc will be fonnd sustaining
those principles of Liberty and Justice so dear
to the people of this District. His majority
in Bradford, will be a testimony of the favor
with which he is regarded at home, and his
election is certain by a majority of thousands.
NEWS FROM KANSAS.
The information which we this week publish
from Kansas, will stir the blood of every right
thinking Northern freeman. A horde of sav
ages from border Missouri, have been for some
time gathering upon the border of Kansas, and
have finally fell upon Ossawattamic, a south
eastern town, with a large force, murdered
some of the free settlers there, and burned the
place. At Leavenworth the murderous work
had also been commenced, and every person
driven from the [dace who wonld not bear arms
for the pro-slavery side.
But by far the most alarming and horrible
news we have, comes from an official source at
Washington, being no less tli an that the Presi
dent and the Secretary of War had ordered
Gen. SMITH and Gov. Geary to take such mea
sures as will drive from the Territory, every
Northern setter, while not a mention is made
of Missouri invasion.
The news we have by telegraph may be some
what magnified to meet the purposes of the
border-ruffians. One thing seems certain that
a large force has been mustered in Missouri and
inarched into Kansas ; to co-operate with the
Territorial authorities, the object of which is
to plunder, murder and drive from the territo
ry every free settler. Wc arc in dailv fear of
leceiving the intelligence that the Free-State
men have been overpowered, and killed by hun
dreds.
PORTER'S Sr-furr OR THE TIMES. —The cele
brated editor of the widely known " Spirit,''
has commented the publication of a new jour
nal, with the above title, as a chronicle of the
turf, field sports, literature and the stage.—
From the ability of PORTER in this line, we
have no doubt that the new " Spirit" will ex
hibit the same elevated and genial tone that
for many years caused the old " Spirit" to be
the favorite periodical of the sporting world,
and the rude me mm. of those addicted to the
" fur, tin and feather."
Wag* The truth in relation to the Kansas
fight is now beginning to come. It turns out
as we said, that there were very few men in
Ossawatomie when the place was attacked
The attacking force consisted of twelve hun
dred men, though but four hundred were used,
and the Free Soilers numbered but thirty.
Yet the Border Ruffians had live men woun
ded.

SOUTHERN DOCTRINES.
We extract below two articles from the Rich
maid Enquirer of the 2Stli ult. Comment is
unnecessary. The first shows the treasonable
anil disunion purposes of the South, and the
latter, the end toward which we nre tending.
Both taken together illustrate the intention of
the South to make Slavery a National institu
tion, claiming for it superiority as a form of so
ciety over freedom. This doctrine once acquis
ced in by the North, and we shall next be re
quired to acknowledge that slavery is equally
the " natural and rightful " state of society in
Pennsylvania. It is to eary out the ahomnai
ble doctrines we quote below that the Enquirer
labours so zealously to advance the election of
Mr Been AN A. v. We commend the articles to
the attention of the freemen of this county:—
FREMONT AND DISCS-ION In voting for Fremont, a
portion of the North Lomlcrs to the South the ifcuie of this
I'iiiou or unconditional submisMion. If Fremont iM-lee
ted, he funics in as the profesnsl enemy of the South.—
No Southerner, without treachery to hi* section of the
Fnioii, can lieeome a tneuiber of his cabinet. llis admin
istration, if it keep the promises of the eanvnss. tpust de
prive the South of all interest in tiie territories, and Intr
[ ass and injure slavery in the States. We do not lielieve
that any portion of the South will submit to his adminis
tration. We are sure that huye portions will not. Dis
union then, in event of his election, is inevitable.
Such an event is a very remote contingency. but let the
North and South prepare to meet it. I.et us", if possibh .
part peaeefully. I.et the North determine whether it will
have several confederacies or one. I.et Pennsylvania,
New Jersev, Indiana and Illinois, see whether their in
terests w ill not be liest promoted by uniting with the
Southern confederacy. l.et California.too, study well the
question, whether she will havca Pacific Republic,lieeome
tributary to New England, or unite with the South. Let
us all look these contingencies fully in the face. It is not
too late for treason and Fremont to retreat, nor for the
friends of I'nion to lash tlicm from the field, if we will
but combine.
Rut let no one indulge the fatal delusion that Fremont
may Is- elected and yet the I'nion preserved. There is not
one single possibility of such result. It is hard to keep it
together even now. Then, it would fall to pieces without
even a struggle to preserve it.
AT OI B SCHOOLS SIIOCLD TKACH AS TO Sl.vvrnv
Every school anil college in ,the South should teach tliat
Mnve society is the common, natural, rightful and normal
state of society. Any doctrine short of this contains ab
olition in the gcrin: for, if it Is- not the rightful and nat
ural form of society, it cannot last, and we should prepare
for its gradual but ultimate altolition. They .-Inlaid also
teach that no other form of society is, iu the general, right
or expedient. There are exceptional cases, such as desert
or mountainous countries, where the small patches offer
tile laud are adequate to support a larger'familv than hus
band, wife and children--such as Lapland, Sweden, Nor
way. Switzerland, and parts of Arabia such alo as New
England, and Eastern New Vork and Eastern Pennsylva
nia, which, though admirably adapted for commerce, "man
ufactures and fishing, are little fitted for farming or graz
ing. Freemen are required in the former pursuits—-laves
; in the latter. Hence, negro slavery is found to be the best
| form of slavery.
| But our schools should also teach that the slaves should
lie of a different race or nation from the masters; and the
wider the distinction the better, as in such case the slave
is less apt to feel degraded, or wish to assert his freedom
and equality.
To teach such doctrine- we must have Southern tcacliers
and Southern school books. It is from the school that
public opinion proceeds, and the schools should be set
right.
No teacher should be employed in a private family or
public school at the South, who is not ready to teach these
doctrines. Parents, trustees and visitors should look to
this thing.

The Tribune of the 30th inst., contains
the following significant paragraph :
We have trustworthy advises from a consul
tation held at Elmira last week between some
leading managers of the Buchanan and Fill
more parties respectively, in which it was
agreed that all the disposable Fillmore vote
| of Pennsylvania should be thrown tor Buchan
an 011 condition that the movable Buchanan
011 condition that the movable Buchanan rote
of this State should in like manner be concen
trated on Fillmore. We have never doubted
that such an arrangement would be made be
fore election, but we give the contrivers notice
that it cannot win. It will only precipitate
and intensify the general stampede of both
Americans and Democrats to the standard of
Fremont and Freedom. Wc beg the mana
gers to remember that the Telegraph is in ex
istence, and that their manoeuvres will be close
ly watched and promptly reported. The peo
ple like n fair stand up contest-, and they who
undertake the game of "truck and dicker"
will find it a losing one. Wait and see.

Mr. Buchanan ten years ago, chilled bv par
simony (and ihc shrivelling air which circulates
about "one horse bedsteads"), determined to
get rid of paying his taxes to the state nf Penn
sylvania, by denying that lie was a resident of
Lancaster. He accordingly wrote the follow
ing letter to the assessor of that town :
" WASHINGTON, Fcbnary 26, 1846.
" Dear Sir : I have received yours of the
12th inst., informing me, that, not knowing
whether I consider myself a resident of Lan
caster, you have assessed me as such. I had
supposed that yon would have known that I
removed from Lancaster nearly a year ago, and
have ever since been a resident of this city
where my ofiiciai duties require that 1 should
reside. I trust that at some future period 1
may again become a resident of Lancaster, but
that is u holt u uncertain.
