we are justified in saying, as the whole
affair will hereafter be the subject oil

Maryland Elections. elections in Mary
land will come on, on the first Monday in Octo-
Der, and a curious scene is presented in two dis
ricts nearest u.s. in regard to the for Con-
gress. In the district composed Of Allegheny,
Washington and part Of Frederick, the contest is
between Francis Thomas and James Dixon,
Esqrs., both claiming, and disputing the claims
Of the other to, genuine Jacksonism A convcn-
ton Of the jackson party was called TO decide
between them, and MIR. Thomas received the
nomination. The friends of Mr.. Dixon. how
ever. had uaiformly resisted the call of convcn-
ton as unnecessary and improper, its object be-
Ing not 10 produce concert and harmony and to
gentlemen Of the same politics, to which task the
people were deemed competent.
In the district composed Of the other part OF
Frederick and Montgomery, the contest RACES
between WIN. Cost johnson and George c.
Washington, both National Republicans Here,
however, Jackson gentleman threatens to walk
over the course, unless the strife between the
Nationals is composed. A convention has also
been called to decide which of these two aspi-

district has returned two sets of delegates.

Daniel o. Council, AT meeting Of the friends
al Ireland in Philadelphia, resolution was a
dopted in the following words:
"Resohred, That in the opinion of
this association, the iIliberal remarks
on Americans, said to have been made
by Daniel O'Connell at a meeting in
England, on the subject Of slavery, and
put in circulation in this country thro'
the medium ofthe New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, is a vile and insidious
SANDER, calculated to lessen the exalted
reputation he has hitherto sustained
amongst u.s."
Some Of our exchange papers appear to consi
der the resolution as charging the report of Mr..
o'C.'s having used such language, as slaaderous.
II this is its intention, we think word or two
has been omitted. If Mr.. O'Connell has kept
company with such men as Garrison and Paul
listened to their sophistry and believed their
statements, we can easily imagine that his mind
was in proper frame, TO abuse America, aud call
her citizens liars and hypocrites He has injured
himself much of late by silly charge against
the Reporters Of the British House Of Commons.
We incline to think that he is very much like
some men in our own country possessing talents
and genius in a high degree, without enough Of
mother scit to keep his fingers out of the candle!
