MARYLAND.-Tho tory papers are fsur
ing up, and trying to make it appear that
they will have majority OF the popular
vote of Maryland ia November, but it is all
moonshine. The Baltimore Wing papers
assure US, and we have no doubt of the fact,
that thousands OF Wing voters who declin
ed coming forward at the late elec ton will
rsllyi Nov The Baltimore Patriot says:
1--WE assert without hesitation, that the
friends of Gen. Harrison were at no time
so perfectly satisfied Of their strength, and
assured of the victory in November next,
as they are at this time. They may posi-
bly, have had misgivings as to the result
heretofore, but they have none now. The
result Of the senatorial election and the
narrow escape they have had in conse,
quence OF local discontents and general su.
pineness, have settled the question. The
friends Of Harrison will take the field, IN
the next campaign with renewed vigor and
energy, and with that buoyency Of heart
which is produced by the conviction tina,
VICTORY is TO be the certain reward Of their
exertions. The result Of these impulses
operating upon a party known to be in o
majority when marshalling its full strength,
NAV be easily anticipated"
