MARYLAND ELECTIONS.


The returns from Maryland show, thus far,
great gain for the WHIas We give below all
the information we have received by the last
mails:
PRINCE GEoRGE's.-Messrs. CAN'T, Duvall Wor.
Ellington, and Key, (four Whigs) elected. Last
wear there were two Wings and two Jackson.
men.
CHARLES CouNry.-Messrs. Dulany, Merrick,
Carpenter, and Hughes, (four Whigs) elected
by a majority Of two hundred and thirty.oh
votes.
ST. MARY's-Four Wings elected.
FREDERlcE-In Frederick county, which last
year sent four Jackson delegates, by majority
of $50 votes four Wings have been elected by
a majority nearly as large Here was thought
to be Mr.. Taney's strong hold; it was his for.
mer residence, and where he was lately escort.
ed. and Toasted, where he made speeches. and
was toasted, with an eclat which fattered the
party with victory. But what falling of!
WASHINGTON Wings elected; last year
four Jackson-men by large majority. The
triumph in this county is as unexpected and
gratifying as that in Frederick.
MONTGOMERY. whole Wing ticket has
nyevailed by handsome majority; the same
as last year.
HARrroRp.-Three Jackson, one Wing; the
same as last year.
BALTIMORE County -Four Jackson.
ANNE ARuNDEL.-Four Wings; last year four
Jackson.
In st twp
CEcn.-Four Jackson, by small majority
last year the same without opposition
The returns therefore, from the counties
heard from, give result of 81 Wings and II
Jackson-men. In the same counties last year
the aggregate of Delegates stood: IS Wings, 30
Jackson men.
n. B. Since preparing the above, the follow.
ing additional returns have been received.
T.LRor-For Wings elected-Iast year two
Wings, two Jackson.
CARoLrNE-Four Wings elected-last year
three Wings, one Jackson.
SoMERsET--Three Wings elected--last year
two Wings, two Jackson.
WoRcEsTER-Four Wings elected--last year
four Jackson.
DEMONSTRATION Wings elected.
In all 50 Whgs-12 Jackson men.
The Baltimore Patriot says:
awe have not time now to note the various
changes in the State, but can positively assure
our friends at home and abroad, that the re.
turns show there has been q great revOlution in
public sentiment in favor of the Wing cause in
every County in the State. The Jackson party
has been beaten at all points-in fact, CON-
pletely "routed, horse, foot and dragoon.n-
Last year the Jackson party had FORTY Sc
VEN members in the House of Delegates--hs
year they will hardly number FIFTEEN
will be borne in mind also, that the whole Sen
ate, fifteen members, are staunch Wings"

WINTER.

Cold, cold, chilly Winter-is here!-Ah
what's to be done? There's no running a.
way from him--go where you will, he's at
your heels, plnchng your fingers or biting
your toes What a troublesome fellow -
the only way to get rid of his impertinence is
to set your fire in a cheerful blaze, shut close
every crevice, latch your door, and take your
stand by its side he is desperate enemy of
fire according to the most authentic histo-
ry, fire and winter fell out at the beginning
Of time, and have never yet shaken hands
So uniriendly are they, that one invariably
retires at the others coming and ola! let
every charitable heart remember, that when
the hire OF the poor man, or the sick, or un-
fortunate, is extingulshcd, humanity alone,
that brightest ornament of the virtuous mind,
is the visitant that can save them from the
chilling fangs Of unfcclng Winter.

CHRISTIAN CHARITY.

Extract from the annual Address Of Bishop Girls
void, to the Clergy and Laity Of his Diocese
"To love those, who love the Lord Jesus, is
among the most distinguishing traits of the
true Christian character. 1t appears to me
that there is 10 one thing in which "those,
who profess to call themselves Christians" )"
commit more sin, and have more TO answer
for, than in their uncharitable feelings and
conduct towards those who differ from them
in opinion. 1t has the nature and spirit of
persecution. Not only as individuals, but al
30 as churches aud denominations, we should
regard our own faults, rather than our neigh
bors remove first the beam from our own
eye-be eagle-eyed in detecting our own er-
rors-that we may see clearly to pull the mote
from our brothers eye. The end ofthe COM
mandment is Charity-an end we too gene
rally lose sight of. AS st. Paul says-"all
seek their own" to the neglect of that Chari-
ty, which seeketh not her own!"

ALEXANDRIA:
FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 81, 1884.
SEVERE REToRT.

Mr.. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS in presenting to the
House of Representatives, on Monday last the
Massachusetts Resolutions, remarked upon the
enthusiastic hospitality with which the President
had been received by all classes of the people OF
that Commonwealth, and that, too, under ar
engagements directed by their Legislature 1t
had been witnessed by the whole Union. He
trusted it had not escaped the recollection OF
the President himself Sir, said Mr. A., it is
no pleasant consideration to reflect that it was
in the very bosom of that hospitality, surround
ed by tokens of confidence, lavishly bestowed,
and surfeited with marks of honor, granted up
on trust, that the determination was formed to
make this fatal experiment on the dearest inter-
ests and very subsistence of the people,
Mr.. POLK, in reply, said:
&c 1t was for the purpose of repelling remark
so uncalled for and so unjust, that he had now
risen. Instead of discussing the question ofthe
Bank and the deposites as statesmen should dis
cuss it. it had been too much the order of the
day, late, for the advocates and friends of the
Bank to exhaust the whole vocabulary OF the
language, to denounce the President. Because
the President had firmly met and thwarted the
wicked and corrupt designs of a great moneyed
w
ties ofthe nation he was denounced as tyrant
and Destroyer and this, too, by the gentle
man from Massachusetts-the very last Of all
men from whom such course was to be ex-
pected.
&c The People, however, Mr.. P. said, would
not be very ready to believe that the man who,
after an eventfu life, spent in the public service,
who had nothing more to hope from the gift of
the people, and who occupied the highest station
which their confidence could bestow, was the
tyrant and the destroyer Of his country's pros
perity."
Mr.. ADAMS requested Mr.. Pinckney, Of South
Carolina, who claimed the floor, to indulge him
merely to say, that he had no reply to make to
Mr.. Polk: adding, shall never be disposed to
interfere with any member who shall rise on this
floor and pronounce panegyric upon the Chief
Magistrate:
No! LET the canded tongue lick absurd pomp,
And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee,
Where THRIFT may follow fawning!
