As 1 had The authority Of Mr.. McDuffie TO
act for him, beg leave TO submit the follow

On the morning succeeding the evening on
which presented Mr.. McDuffie's answer 10
Mr.. Le:cher, Of Kentucky, (who had presented
Mr.. Bates leter) was not only informed by
Mr. Le,cher that the explanation was consider

it was rather inclined, TO settle down. in favor of the
former. They are both, certainly fine animals and
rank rs the best race horses now On the Virginia

.uasyldnd ElectiOns.-Yhe State elections have
resulted in the triumph ofthe Jacksonians The ba
ancc of power in the Legislature heretofore possess
ed by tho Ant-Jacksonans, is transferred TO their
adversaries The welkn has rung with the groans of
the Maryland Jacksonians, the prescription, which
IN some instances the State ascendancy Of their ri
walls inflicted upon them. They have now an oppor
tunity of testing to the world their sincerity, when
they complained of the violence of their opponents
and gently nsnuated how differently, and forbcar-
ingly, they would have exercised power. la gem
tlcmen--shal We be called upon to witness and ap-
piaud your Inagnanimity, to observe your ven
geancc Will you return good for evil, or will YOU
have an eye for an eye tooth for tooth VIII your
example in conduct, correspond with your professions
In denouncing the measures Of your opponents; or
now that you have the power, will you discover how
much more easy it is, to rail ut bad act than to dc
good one! We require not time 10 inform U.s. how
you vii! answer these nterrogatories BY your con-
duct.
HE defeat Of the Anti-Jacksonians seems by
mem, 10 have been unexpected and we should rather
inier was so to the victors themselves. Cnqucnch-
ed zeal which brought the entire force of the Jack
sonlans TO tie polls and the dependency natural to
recent defeat which kept many of the opposite party
ut home, will account for the event 1t is peculiar
ana not an unadInirabe feature of Jacksonsm that
all inconvenience arc embraced with pleasure, TO
advance Its object Its zeal is sleepless unwearied
and empowering. Is this effect of the conscious
ness OF good cause, or is it true affirmed by phi
losophers of the mind, that error is defended with
more vehemencc than truth?
The Baltimore Patriot states the relative force Of
the parties in the House of Delegates at 10 and 10;
the National lntelligenceI gives the Jacksoniams
small ascendency i'll that body Which account is the
true one is not material, in the Scuate they have
an asccrtamed maorityu five, and this is sufficient on
joint ballot to place the Administration of the State
in their hands.
The e%uation Of tho victors is fierce, coarse and
unbounded There various proofs in the shape of
letters, &C. beo'e 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 truly, very consolatory to man whose Careless
ness has run his nose against post, to be told that
little caution and little trouble would have rreven
ted the catastrophe.
Elections in Deta,oure.-Mr. Hazard the Anti
Jackson candidate has succeeded, 1.-THE majority differ
emily rated and two thirds of the Legislature elect
are Of the same politics.
