BALTIMORE, Dec. c.
STATE POLITICS.
Our readers have seen by the letter from
Annapolis, publ shed in the Vine of lasc
evening, that the Illegally returned federal
cai dida'es from Allegheny had the jmpu
dence 70 march into The house of delega es.
and were admitted to their seats by the f.
deral majority, in despite of the resistance
the republican minority to III 1T atrocious
act OF usurpation. We presume that the
only nope of the republicans of the state Is
now in the energy and decision of tie sen
ate and we are happy to state tor their sa-
tistac ton, that FIRM determination exists IN
that honorable body to refuse to go into an
election OF governor and council while thsA
usurpers shall be allowed to retain tbe;~
seats IN the house of delegates.
