There ia a great change in the tone in
which the opposition papers speak Of the
course of Maryland. since the late Admin
istration Meeting at Baltimore. The Tole
graph speaks of the people being se'lpced.
Thus it is whenever the course Of events

result of corruption or seduction. Congress
was corrupt because the House Of Repre-.
sentatives did not select General jackson
from the three candidate. submitted for
their choice. The people are scduced when
they adopt resolutions which are calculated
TO arrest the progress of Gen. Jackson's
friends, in their endeavors to overthrow tLt
Administration. There is nothing genuine
or satisfactory in the fullest expression of
public opinion on one side there ~ ever
thing which ought to produce conviction
in the most equlvocal expression Of that
opinion on the other. Nat. Jour.
