The State and Congressional elections at Ba],i-
more are violently contested between the Jacksonans
ard the opposition. Abuse hardly paralc!ed in the
Presidential election, and tricks the most desnicaho
are resorted to to influence the votes in favor of the
Hero Among others take the following, from an
address adopted at public meeting of the Hero's
vassuls in Monument Square, said to be penned BY
Orator Mcmahon
TO prepare themselves for the battle in eyery
part OF our country where defeated opponents
are able to maintain the ascendancy they haze erected

Jackson and hs adnei,st,a atom then hare ercl,led
from all 2ceS all Cho hare copoitted the high sin of
0ottnS NTH US, and minority Of the nation for tie
man Of our choice; and they have stocked every de-
partment of their State Government, with those who
wait but the word to unfur the banner of opposition
And this is what they call peace.i! And this is
what they CALL toaiting until Naturalization has
been tF'ed And this is what they call striving to
oa'issh Tie demon o party spirit from the iand!!
And this is what they call The decent respect for and
submission to the will of the peope!!! And this is
what they call the respect due to the man of their
cholce'! And this is what they cali, judging tree
by lis fruitS!!!"
What a cnndid geNeman this Mr. McMahon
must be! With what grace he complains of pro
Scription! With what Justice does he denounce
opposition organized the threshold Of an admins
ration, and complain of prcdctcrminaton to eject
the Presidential incumbent from oficel Is it possible
to read the itaHcsed part of the first paragraphto
near from thorough paced Jackson man, the grave
reouke of the opponents of Gen. Jackson for excu
ding their antagonists from Office, without feeling
arazement at the extent of the party audaSty which
ventures on the astonishing creduty which swallows
inconsistency and delusion gross? Has the author
OF the address forgotten the innumerable prosc,p-
tons of President Jackson for opinion sake? Has he
forgotten how many exemplary and faithful citizens
and republicans, have fallen sacrifices to that high
"sin" in Republic, of voting for the man of their
choice' Or does he hope to wres the argument from
those in whose hands justice has placed it, to convert
1t to the UNFOLDING Of the dynasty which has been
the first, trust it viii be the last to assimilac
the American Republic to the Regency of Algiers9
Well merited indeed, is the insult conveyed in the
above extract to the intelligence of the people of
Baltimore, if it fail to lundle their resentment
One more extract, and we have done with Mr..
McMahon's address: It says:
'.They (the opposition) fear to let his patriotism
and integrity lthe Presidents) have their onward
course, unchecked by faction"
1t so happens that the general fears of the opposi-
ton are Of a very different complexion. They are

such proceeding. An attempt is uade 70 impress
The public with belief that IL il had not been for
certain causes, Mr.. j. would not have lost his e.
iectios bat would have succeeded TO the exclusion
OF some VI those talented and dsting enie-
men who were elected. This Is a poor compli-
ment TO the district, who were governed ai,og eth
er In Its choice by talents and qualifications. But
this Is delicate suhject-Discussion would only
lead to the drawing OF comparisons which would
be both improper and invidious. 1t is denied,
however, that Mr.. j. could have been elected in
that district under any circumstances in oppo.
ELTON to any one OF those gentlemen that were e.
Iected. 1t Is true that he got very respectable
vote In his own county, which is generally the case
With all candidates.-This county in which the
candidate resides Is most commonly voted for by
his countymen without reference especiaily 20
qualifications and talents-Loca consde rations and
personal popularity always have their influence.
But other counties where the candidate does not re-
side are not so influenced They are guided prin-
cipaly by the superior talents and quail OF
men-and such, 10 doubt, was the fact in the pre-
sent case. But the less is said upon this subject

not intend TO convey any idea the least wounding
to the feelings OF MIR. Johnson. No person is more
friendly disposed towards him than the writer: Nor
Il any reflection intended upon tho author of the

were pnfe-He conceived himself justihable i'm

vote, considering the superior talents and inteli-
gcpce that were opposed 10 hiIn--Tbe writer has
no doubt but MIR. j. was gra;iied nj that vote,
instead OF being mortifed-and so ought his
riends. II is believed, that although a man Of
very senslble and vigorous intellect, he does not
think himself SO peculiarly fitted for framing cons-
tations for the government Of the people. But this
Is not subject fit Tor newspaper discussion. and
