JACKSON
ADMINISTRATION
From the Maryiander, Oct. 7.

The vote of Baltimore, yesterday has convinced
us that we have nothing to fear as to the result OF
the Electoral election in November. In 1924, Gen.
jackson had 900 majority. In 1927, the candidates
favourable to his cause, for the Legislature, obtain
ed an actual majority Of 1865 and the paper of their
party claimed upwards Of 1900. We mention these
facts merely to show the progress of good prlnci-
pies and how certain truth and justice are TO find
supporters, though attempted to be perverted by the
mercenaries of desperate faction. We think we
can assure our friends throughout the State, that
the calculations we have heretofore given, IN which
we claimed ten electors, was based on solid tounda-
tons.
The following returns will enable our readers tt
see how auspicous have been the result at yester
days abors to the cause ofthe country,and civil rule
We are fully convinced with the belief, that
greater, far greater number Of illegal votes wer
given on the Jackson side, than their maiorlt,
amounts to- These must and " i'll be enquired into
