MARYLAND ELECTION.

The election for members of Congress
took place yesterday throughout the state.
The rain which fell without intermission
during the day no doubt prevented as full
avote as would otherwise have been given.
In the fourth district which comprises
the cities of Baltimore and Annapolis and
the county of Anne Arundel, the result, as
far as ascertained, is as follows:
City of Aforementioned 6062, Nc
Kim 6031, (V. b. Kennedy 5794,
Ridgely 1892, (Whig.)
Average majority in the city, for the Van
Buren, ticket, 263 votes.
Baltimore County.-3rd congressional
district.--In the 18th election district pa
tapsco Ncck)Mr. Worthington, ". B. )had
100 votes, and Mr.. Brown, (Whig) 81
votes.

The 10 states which have not yet Gle cfed their
members, or from which we have not as yet re-
ceived returns, were represented in the last Con-
gress by thirty-six Wings and twenty nine
Democrats. Should they be represented in like
cratic majority &c. The annexed schedule spe-
cites the states from which we are yet to hear,
the date of their elections respectively, and the
political character of their delegations in the last

UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.

The Committee on Foreign Relations, 10
whom was referred the Message of the Pre-
sident Of the United States, Of the 9th inst.
on the subject Of the present state of relations
with Mexico, have made report, in which
they recommend that one more opportunity be
given to Mexico to atone for the past, before
redress be taken into our own hands. The
following is extracted from the report:
ain affording this opportunity to the Mexi-
can Government, the committee would sug-
gest the propriety Of pursuing the form re-
quired by the 34th article Of the treaty with
Mexico, in all cases to which it may be aP
plcabe. This article provides that "if (what,
indeed, cannot be expected) any of the arti-
cles contained in the present treaty shall be
violated or infracted in any manner whatev-
er, it Is stipulated that neither of the contract
ing parties will order or authorize any acts of
reprisal, nor declare war against the other on
complaint Of injuries, or damages, until the
said party considering itself offended, shall
have FIRST presented to the other stateme mt
of such injuries or damages, verified by COM
petent proofs, and demanded justice and salts
faction, and the same shall have been either
refused, or unreasonably delayed"
After such a demand, should prompt jus
tice be refused by the Mexican Government,
we may appeal to all nations, not only for
the equity and moderation with which we
shall have acted toward sister republic, but
for tho necessity which will then compel Ms
to seek redress for our wrongs, either by ac-
tual war or by reprisa!s. The subject will
then be presented before Congress at the
commencement of the next session, in clear
