ed Diariet.-J. Leeds Kerr, ESQ. the late
representative Of this district. National Repub-
lican.l also declinesa reelection. Both poitl-
cal parties are now choosing delegates to con-
ventions for nominating candidates. The con-
test is expected to be close and warm.
Sd District III Baltimore and Hartford coun.
ties have whole lots of Jackson candidates an
nounced. Col. SeweIl. Of Hartford, and ]. T..
H. Worthinston. of Baltimore county, we're
both members of the last Congress, and are,
both of them warmly urged by their friends for
the single birth now afforded. Besides them we
have 10 the field Gen. John Spear Smith, late
State Senator, and Col. Ely aud Mr.. Turner, Of
the last House OF Delegates, all good and true
Jackson men. An attempt has been made to
pet up a Jackson Convention, to make nomina.

il is not likely to succeed.

son. mas announced himself as candidate, sub
iect, however, to any party arrangements that
candidate shall be brought out Mr.. Howard,
late Representative, resides in this District
We have seen DO notice OF his declining poll.
SIN Disfricf.-Col. .Wm. Stcuart, late Mayor
of the city of Baltimore, and for many years an
able member of the State Legislature, has been
unanimously nominated by the convention OF the
five first wards Of Baltimore city, the election
districts of Baltimore county, and the city OF
Aunspos. He will receive the undivided sup.
port Of the National Republican party.
9th District.-A general convention OF Ma
tional Republican Delegates is called, to meet at
New Market, to nominate candidate. The
prooosition has met with some objections how
ever. Meetings, have been held 10 the lower
part Of Liberty district, Frederick county, and
also Montgomery county, that express undImin.
ished confidence in their representative, Mr..

lex county, is evidently in favor Of Mr. Johnson,
a member Of the last House of Delegates. We

mer member, is opposed by Mr.. Dixon. gentle.
man Of distinguished talents, of Washington

any other candidate being proposed by The Ma
tonal Republicans. than the one who so ably re-
presented the district in the last Congress, Mr..
jenifer. Without. doubt he will be reelected
Me. Stoddart is the Jackson candidate. DR..
Semmes's state Of health would deprive the pub
lie of his valuable services, under any circum-
stances. We regre, to read from the Doctors
advertisement of his land. &c. that 1t is neces-
sary for him TO try the effect Of milder climate
as a residence. His native State will part from
him as from one Of its most ardent and valuable
friends. Go wheresoeyer he may, he will take
with him The warmest wishes Of those who we're
in lhe circle OF his acquaintance.
a Thus it appears quite probable that not more
than two or three. possibly not more than one,
Of the late Representatives Of this State will be
members Of the next House Of Representatives,.
