MARYLAND ELECTION.

The Wings Of Baltimore (says the Boston
Atas) are entitled To every sympathy from
their friends in all sections Of the county,
They made every effort to redeem the city
but they were overwhelmed by the thousands
of foreign voters, whom Mr.. Van Burcn in
the New York Convention described with SO
much truth as the "worst part of our popula-
tion" They have no registration Of voters
in the city-and ii is impossible to prevent
the grossest frauds. We refer our readers
for pariiculors to the article we copy from

formally opened on Wednesday last. This
road will materially shorten the time Of pas

wss we believe some weeks since completed,
and on Friday Of last week, a locomotive ran
for the first time from Wilmington TO the Sus-
quebanna. On Saturday the train returned
from the Susquehanna to Wilmington, dis
tance of 80 milss,in an hour and twenty seven
minutes, including stop Of 20 minutes a,
Elkton, and in one hour seven minutes trav-
cling time. The steamboat Susquehanna
has taken her station on the river, for the pur-
pose Of uniting the line Of communication be-
tween the two roads, each Of which is to have
its appropriate engines ard passenger cars,
and the passenger, with the baggage cars src
to be transported across the river by this fer
W boat, the construction Of which is SAID to
be entirely adapted to the object. The ope-
ming Of this road will be an important step. in
the improvement Of the great line of comrnu-
nicstion between this city and Washington.
The next step will probably be the extension
OF the road from Wilmington to Philadelphia

PARTY NAMEs.-We have often had occa-
sion to notice the Influence of mere names in
moving and operating upon masses Of men.--
In our county one OF the acts Of the cunning
politician is to adopt some popular name for
his party, and, sticking to that, lose sight OF
principles with impunity. No bolder or more
barefaced iInposture was ever practised upon
betrayed and deceived people, than the as
sumption of the title of ''the Democracy" by
the leaders of the A administration party. Ana
lyze their rinciples-cxamine their conduct
mark their actions, they will be found inva-
riably opposing democratic sentiments IN re-
lation to civil government. And yet they
cling with the pertlnacity of lceches to the
name Of Democrats! They think there is a
power in that name which carries the people
with them. They are as cunning as they are
decetfu. Where is their democracy? Is il
in supporting executive power-in aiding the
usurpations Of the federal authortics-in up
holding protests-in contending for the ire
sponsibility Of the President and his officers
in subjectng the will Of the Legislature t.
the will Of the Executive? Throughout the
long series Of the usurpntions and outrsges
Of the late Executive of the nation, these pa
tent Democrats never uttered a syllable o.
disapprobu,ion. They suffered blow aficl
blow to fall upon the rights Of the people
without voice of complaint. Can the peo.
pie be msled by such rank hypocrisy much
ongcr' Can they fail To detect the daw un-
der the borrowed plumage? We should hope
not. The reign OF imposturc has been long
enough. 1t is full time that Democrats and
4 Republicans should be known and recogniz.

which men may adopt 10 suit their own pur
poses. Gazette.

LIST. Is Duiee j. Pearce honest? If Mr.
Jefferson had not made HONESTY tho primary
qualification for office,we might have thought
it rathe. unknd to put the above question:
For we have not found one in twenty even Of
Mr.. Pearcc'S supporters, who do not finch
from answering it afirmatively. Some Of
them say, with laugh, that if he is not hon.
est he can't be charged will, being "hones. to
n fault"-and there are 80 many "overt acts"
staring them in the face, that all of them wish
to be excused from saying they think him
honest, for fear their own regulations may
suffer if they did 20.

est he can neither be capable, nor fathfnl.-
lfhe had been honest he might be capable to
a certain extent. But all his faculties land

employed in buying votes for himself at homo
and selling his own votes at Washington.
Sd. Bhe faithful 10 The Constitution? How
can a man be faithful to the Constitution who
neither knows nor cures any thing about il?
We oil know that lie has lent his aid to its
violation on many occasions. The Constitu-
iion was intended to establish Republican
Government; TO secure the rights and liber-
ties of the people and above all, the elective
franchise-the great right Of suffrage. But
MIR. Pearcc, in express terms, under his own
signature, published in the newspapers, has
shown himself an enemy to republicani.m
and openly avowed his hostility to the right
of suffrage. These following are his own
words and threats to the freemen.
81 now state that so far as can be instra-
mental IN eifecting it,cvery man in this State,
who holds an office under the State authority
or that Of the General Government, shall
support the administration which sustains
them-this, in my opinion, all ought 10 do
this, have no doubt, oil will do and none
but rccrcant traitor would hold an office un-
der any administration which he could not in
conscience supPort-support those who sup
port you, this is my doctrine"
The people know all this and will dispose
of this man as he ought to be disposed Of
We believe that Gov. Fenncr is right in his
calculation that he will be beaton by more
than seven Hundred majority. There have
been number of people who did not think
MIR. Pearce either honest, capable, or faithful,
but who have voted for him because they
thought he would get in and might fulfil his
promises to get Offices for them. Such per-
sons, seeing Tint he has no chance of getting
in again, will not vote for him: for they well
know that Dntee J. Pearce will not be worth
a fig to Amos Kendall, when it is assertained
that lie has no influence in Rhode Island.

A MOST DIsGHACEFUL ScENE.-Wc learn
that the German Reformed church in Forsy th
street, was yesterday desecratcd by a scene
Of violence and disorder, rehecting the deep
est disgrace on oil parties concerned in it,
The following are the leading particulars as
they have been communicated to us.
At about IL o'clock, two clcrgymen fol.
lowed by their respective friends, simnltane-
ously entered the church and made for the
pulpit. On reaching the sacred desk, the
passage was mutually disputed u et nrmis,
and sticks and clubs were put freely III reqni-
sition; being supplied by breaking up'the
rails around the altar! Possession of the
pulpit was gained alternately by both parties
and both parties alternately dlslodged-
While matters were in this fri ghtful state oI
victory and defeat, the alarm bell was rung
and the frcmen rushed to tho spot, deter
mined, we believe, to throw cold water upon
the fiery valor Of the reverend belllgerents.
In the meantime, however, a strong party
from the Police office parted the conbatants.
cleared the church and closed it very much
to the dissatisfaction Of both parties. The
clergymen are said to have fought like very
Butchers; having their clerical garments torn
to rngs, and one Of them retiring with re-
markubly bloody nose received al osti,im &C.
ciesie. On the whole, it is The grossest out
rage that has ever occurred in this countr,
and it is Notifying to record a transaction
SO deeply disgraceful to the city, and rs

CARHOLLTON INTELLIGERCER.
BELIEVING that the wealth nd population
of Carroll, and the increased and growing mpo'-
lance of Carrollton, imperiously demand a news
paper as an acceptable vehicle of information,
the undersigned proposes to the good people of
Carroll county to publish one under the above
title, which shall meet their wants. Being OPP
posed TO the principles upon which the present
Chief Magistrate came into power, and believing
that his motto ''JO the Uict0rs belong tie Sp0ils
Of the panqaished" is demoralizng and rovolu.
tionary--and that an elevation to that high stu
ton neither consecrates nor purifes principles,
the lntellige Ger will firmly oppose the present
Administration SO long as il receives its impress
sion from the stamp of Modern Democracy,
while at the same time il will exert its influence
in prostrdting the corrupt system Of politics now
proving upon the vitas of our young Republic
The political principles of the lntelligencer shall
be strictly those of JEFFERSON as set forth in the
Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions Of '95 g. 80,
and Madison's celebrated Report. These shall
be the basis of our political creed Believing
that the principle set forth by that apostle of Lib
erty, Thomas Jefferson viz:--"THAT ALL pow
ERs NOT EXPRESSLY DELEGATED TO THE GENERAL
GOVERNMENT by THE CONSTITUTION, ARE RESERVED
TO THE STATES RESPECTIVELY, OR TO THE PEOPLE,
is the true one on which our Government is
founded and an adagc universally received--and
believing that the rights, REMEDIES, and liberties
of the States, without the means Of preserving
them, are mere phantons, the lntclIigencer will
always be found on the side of enlightened Re
pubcanism, battling against the encroachment
of Power, and the fearless and incorporating
opposer Of every infringement on the liberties
of the States. The rights, REMEDIES, and
Union of the States shall be our beacon light to
guide us in the dark hour of political tempest.
Every effort TO bring into disrepute the hallowed
principles of Jetfcrson-ovcry attempt at a DISCO
luton of the Union, will be firmly resisted.
Having thus explicitly stated the political prin
ciples which will guide and control the ntclligen
Ger, the undersigned will further assure its pet
rons that its columns will not be entirely devoted
to politics, but every effort will be made to rem.
der it n Iscful and interesting family newspaper.
TERMS.--1he lNTELLlcENcER will be publish
ed on Super Royal sheet, on new materials, and
