held IL he State OF Mary land on Monday last, fo
Members OF Delegates and Sheriifs. In many dis
rcfs the election mainly turned upon the question
between the INs and the Ours in the General Go
yenmen, (old party distinctions being disregarded)
and the present state of public feeling in Maryland
may be ESTIMATED with oerable accuracy by the re-
suits Of the election in most Of tha counties. We
give thu returns as they come to hand.

Gen. STUART, 4,o7S Mr. STR1cKER. 3,61s

The true relative strength Of parties is tested by
taking the Two leading men, between whom the diff
fprei ce is I66 votes against the administration.
FIN the same district, at the last presidential eec-
ion, the Jackson Ticket obtained 5,9O4. Differ
ence against the Adams Ticket 900 votes. 1t is
