.faryland Eiecil,ns.-The State ELECTIONS have
resulted In the triumph oftiie Jacksonisns. The bal
ance OF power in the Legislature here soire possess
ed by the Anti -Ja.lsenihns is transferred TO their
ad'easafies Fhe wckin has rang with the groa-s Of
the Maryland Jacksoninns, at the prescription which
in some instances, the State asccndancy OF their RI
Tals inflicted upon them. They have now az oppor-
tunity of testing the world, their sincerity, when
they complained OF the violence OF their opponents,
and gently insiuated, how differently, and forbear-
ingly, they would lave exercised power. la! gen

The defeat of the An,tJaclsoniars seems bv
tas7n to have been unexpected, and should rather
infer, so to the victors themselves Unqueneh-
ed zeal, which brought the entire force OF the Jack
O and The 10
recent defeat, which kept m,uy of the opposite party
at home, viii account for the event. 1t is peculiar
and not unadmirabe featute of Jaeksonisn, that
all inconyenences are embraced with pleasure, TO
advance lis object It's zeal IS sleep!ess, unweaied
and ovorpowcrng. Is this anefect of the conscious
ness Of good cause, is it trRe as affirmed by phi
losophcrs of the mind, tint error Is defended with
more vehemcnce than truth?
The Baltimore Patriot statei the relative force of
the parties in the House of Dchgates at 40 and 40
the National Intellgencer gives the Jacksonans Il
small ascendcncy i'll that body. Which account is the
true one, not material in the Senate, they have
ascertaned majority of vc and this is sufficient on
joint ballot, to pacet!e Admins Of the State
in their hands.
The exultation Of the .ietors IS fierce coarse and
unbounded. There are various proofs in the shape Of
letters, &c. before us, from Maryland that the result
might have been prevented but this instead of giving
those who wished it prevented, any consolation, en-
hances defeat, by showing it to have been deserved.
1t is truly, very consoatoryto whose careless
ness has run his against post, be told that
little caution md little trouble would have preve-
ted the catastrophe
