The returns froni Maine show that, the LiLerty vote has nearly or quite doubled, in spite of the opposition of two proslavery parties. We regret to sny, hovvever, that the excellent Liberty cnndidates have lost their election this year, through the obstinacy oF the Whigs, who would persist in running a third ticket, and thus playing into the hands of their bitterest enemies, the loco focos.- The conscquence is, there is no election of Governor by the people. In Vermonr, the Whigs were equally perverse, nnd the rcsuJt is the same - no Governor is elected. The Liberty vote is stated to be 'probably rising of S,500. There are reported 113 wliig, and 74 democratie repre - sentatives elecied. Two whigs elected to Congiess f'rom the First and Third Districts: in the Second and Fourth, there is 6upposed to be no choice. The People's Advocate. says: "In Addison County our friends did Ihemselves great credit. In every town vvhere effort luis Deen made, tho roult exceeds our Inroest hopes. The vote has inercosed ; Vergenne?, fromlStoSl, Bristol 11 to7l, Monkton G to 30, Stnrksboro 5 to G3, Ferrisburg 17 to 50, New Haven 7 to 26, Lincoln 2 lo 50. We learn from good authority, that Monkton and Starksboro elecied Liberty representatives." The Libert}' vote last year in Verrnont was about 2,100. lts falling ofFfrom the previous year was Iicraldcd all over the country as an infallible indicaiion of the extinction of the party. Politicians are mistaken, somotimes!flr5 In a speech bctore the Repeal Association, Aug1. 8, Mr. O'Connkll alluded lo his late speech oa slavery which has created sucli a sensation anong the Americans. He adheres gloriously to his former denunciations of proslavery repealers, firmly declaring that he will 'retract nothing.' He proclaims thaï standing ap the representativo of the Repoa) Association, 'he could not act othenvise than he liad done, tkough the liberty of Ireland, the j repeal of the Union itself, vitre to ahide the ' result. He was bound not to look to consequ enees,' and, 'come what will, he did not hesitate to throio his whole heatt and soul into his opposition to the system that would treat human beings as the brute beasts of the field.' He declares that he 'spoke distinctly and emphatically , for he wanted to make an impression. He did make that sensation, and HB WAS GLAD OF 1T.' gg wkM But the Cliarleston people accuscd him of uttering a base calumny against them, ín saying they reduced human beings to the condition of brutes of the field. He vvished to know if this Were not the fact; and if so,where was the calumny? He referred to the treatment that colored people in America receive from Irislimen. - He had been assured by Lord Morpeth. who had resided a ycar in America, and had made careful and extensive observation, that lrishmen treat the people of color, both slaves and f ree, worsc than any other part of the American people. It alllicted him exceedingly to hear such a statement. The Irish suflered pereecution themselve?, and shoujd feel mercy for those similarly circumstanced. Mr. O'Connell said he belonged to no party in America, although he h:id many personal frienda among the Abolitionists whom he highly esteemed.
