In Talbot we have noble triumph-all four Re-

Daniel Martin, the late Governor of Maryland, who
was turned out by tn. Jackson party last year to
make room for the present Governor, T. King Car
roll Every eHor, that human ingenuity could de-
vise was put in motion to elect Jackson members to
give the impression that Gov. Martin had no infu-
ence I'D his own county. On tie jackson ticket
SAMUEL STEVENS former Governor of the State
EDWARD LLOYD, Jr. son of Col Edward Lloyd, an
other Governor of the State since S. Senator and
now member OF the Senate of Maryland. Against
tins combination, and their subatcrns, had the Be
publican party to contend. Thanks to the genius
and virtue of tie people for glorious triumph, and
to the great body of our Republican friends In Tai
pot, we tender most hearty congratuation.
I Calvert, Charles, ST. Marys Caroline and Queen

four members from al except the latter which will
probably be divided
| We have thus given hasty glance over the coun-
ties, and have only time to say that MARYLAND,
in the proud consciousness of having discharged an
important public uty, in in which "Hlere

| follow her example.

jackson members-the returns are therefore com
pete, and parties stand in the House of Delegates
seventeen for Jackson-SIXTY-T THREE for Clay
If our intelligence does not deceive us, the month
OF November will bring forth events in New York,
not less 'eectrlfyng' than the change in Maryland
Ii the Regency are proved to be in a mlnority-if
Maryland, Jersey, Delaware, New York, the greater
part of r.ew England, unite themselves the west,
OF all which Clay Is certain Tennessee, Mississippi.

nearly now believe 1t WILL contemporary we
presume will admit, that ms chance is far from des-
perate, and that the scales fact, almost equally
poised LIE. it be remembered how these changes
work, when they once commemorative conta gous
they are--what moral effect they produce-let it
not be forgotten that Two years to elapse--that
the jackson fever has long ago passed highest al
ude, and that the progress from enthusiasm to dis
gust through disappointment, is short, natural, and
easy.
IL The Republican meeting" spoken of by Mr.
Williams, copied into ths.paper from the Nation
al Journal. We knew that there was about Knox
ville considerable AntiJackson party, and having
no local Information guide to the names of
the individuals easily fell into the trap set by the
wags who perpetrated the Hoax At this we feel
neither anger mortifcat ton, but shall en-
deavor another time, to be more vgilant. If they
deserve castsation, they have got the hands of
Mr.. Williams.

Mr. Peasants: In your Wing of the 18th, ult.
have observed an article with the flaming caption,
I"REPUBI.ICAN MEETING TENNESSEYb
1t purpors to record the proceedings of "a nume-
rous assemblage OF citizens OF Knox county,

| The imposture must, abroad, be considered as
gross as. at home, it appears stupidity absurd.
