some one moved resolutions thar before they pro-

sdcnt, that each pledge himself support who
ever was nominated Mr.. Stcrigere moved to strike
out the resolution and insert one for the choice of
% delegates TO the Baltimore Convention. This call
cd forth much debate, and was advocated with great
ability by Mr.. Kremer and Mr. Sergere, and oppos-
ell 10y such federal lawyers Ponrose of Carlisle,
and Potter of Belciontc AT length the vote was
taken, and IA voted 10 send delegates and SO voted
against sending.
Determined not TO give the matter up, the friends
of Gen. Jackson tried once more, and a resolution
offered To choose delegates instructed not to take
their seats at Baltimore unless i,cotirds ofe states
,sere there represented This reasonable resolution
was voted down--5l voting in the affirmative and
so i'll the negative! Notwithstanding, George Kre-
mcr asked them if they could not irus, the represent
tatves of the Jackson party, in thirds of the
States in the Union. Mr.. kremer was truly eloquent
he culogiscd the true friends of Andrew Jackson
in Virginia. Georgia. Carolinas, the western north
ern and eastern stues and his enlarged national views
contrasted noby with the narrow-mnded Wolfism
OF some members. He said, nominate ,ctom you
please, baptSe HIM IN The balmy ie,cs Of state patron,
age and II ,ciW drd nothing. The man ,cho IS nomi-
mated at Baltimore ,oW as surely GET THE ELEC-

MARrLANp--Nlr. Clay not long since, made wis
1t to Annapolis, and, about the time, of his
friends in the House of Delegates, introduced bill
to deprive the people of the choice of Electors of
President and Vice Presidents and vest it in few
OF his friends! 1t provided, that The cities and
ties ofthe State should choose set of Electors who
should meet together and choose the Presidential
Electors. by this bill, majority of the primary
electors would have been chosen by the small coun-
ties, containing a minority of the voters; and this
majority ofprimary electors would have chosen an
entire set of Presidential Electors, of their own po-
liiical stamp. As these small counties contain ma
Jores of Clay voters, the object was as palpabe as
it was pro6igatc. 1t was TO give the whole cleo
toral vote of Maryland to Mr.. Clay, although large
majority ofthc people might be against himl
In vain the Jackson men pointed out its inequality
and injustice In vain they challenged their oppo-
ncnts to adopt the General Ticket system, which
would enable the majority of the people to dispose
of the vote of the State. They were met by ma
Jory deaf to reason and wight; and the project was
actually carried through the House of Delegates
80 monstrous, however, was the usurpation, that
many OF the Clay men, and some of their papers,
came out against it, and it was finally rejected in the
Senate, by n majority of one Uotei
They have since passed an act dividing the State
into four Districts, for the choceof Electors, as fol-
lows
Isl DiSt,ict.-St. SIarys, Charles, Calvert Anne
Arundel, Prince Georges, Montgomery Frederick
Washington, Allegheny and the city of Annapolis,
3D. City of Baltimore y
3D. Baltimore County I
9TH. Hartford and the Eastern Shore 3
This is somewhat OH the same principle; but not
quite so monstrous. Baltimore county being almost
unanimous for jackson, is placed by ITSELF that its
heavy majority may tell as little possible The
City is separated from it, because, with the in
fiuences which will be brought to bear, the Clay
men do not despair of carrying it, unencumbered by
the county. I'm the other two Districts they cacu-
late with confidence that their maJoritics will out
weigh the Jackson maortes-They think there
tore, that they have secured, by legislation, leger-
ded,n, seren votes out of the ten, and probably nine
1t IS thus Mr.. Clay expects to succeed.-IIe stands
in the Senate by the political treachery of the men
who secured his election, and all his hopes are
placed upon his friends betraying the people. But
profiigacy generally oyershoots its own object We
trust the attempt TO deprive the people of their rights
