We Triumph.

ft hnS been “in the air,” and We have “felt it in our bones,” that Maine would this year register a republican triumph. The republican greenbackers who left the party at the last election there have had too many calls to return. They saw a greater danger to the country than the peril of “hard money.” They comprehend that we better first make sure that we had a country to make financial laws for, before we went to work quarreling over the laws we should make. They saw the lise, the advance, and the insolence of the brigadiers. They saw liberty <rt speech and of the ballot throttled in the south; saw not only republicanism driven out of that country, but every expression of opinion unfavorably to democracy stifled. .They comprehended that for the present there can bebut two parties in this country, and but one great issue, and that issue whether the men who lost all on the field shall recover everything at the ballotbo*. And so the republican greenbackers of Maine, or enough of them for all practical purposes, Laving this question before them, and seeing their duty, answered “No,” voted “no,’’ and to-day we place the extreme Eastern commonwealth alongside the extreme Western,both doubtful a few weeks ago, and point the “solid South” U> them as the begiuning of Northern unification. The report of that Dixon gun is echoing back to the South from the Northern latitudes, and before the sound dies away tho Yazoo ruffians will think the artillery of heaven has opened upon them. r <
