The States: Maine

In the vacant Districts of this State, two whigs were elected to Congress, and two Districts remain unrepresented. All the members from this State now vote against Gags. The farmer Gag men have been iei at homel a lesson to politiCians, that honesty andjustice are the best policy. In many places the pro-slavery parties have been driven into a unión against Liberty. The Standard says: - "We are informed by a correspondent rtiat the Amalgamation ticket for representative has finally been successful in the New Sharon. District, hyjive votes more than were necessary to a choice!{tSee the result of three year's work, in those towns, and then say if the Liber. ty Party cannot succeed; - say if the people of Maine cannot be induced to make Liberty the control ling element iu their politics. Look at the example of that district - its fidelity, its perseverance; and remember the same resulte can be obtained inother towns. How? - ■. By giving the people information. Let them hear 'both sides,' as the people of New Sharon have. Although the friends of liberty there were not totally triumphant this year, no discerning man can mistake the future."
