Maryland ELECTION.

We see the Royalist papers hailing the
election in Maryland as a glorious tri-
umph. E"nnmen of Mississippi, do YOU
mt see that their obJecI -
'oSSoye that their cause is advancing ev
cry whtre? To convey this impression,
they scorn no means however despicable
and reckless Of truth. The fact is, the
administration party in Maryland barely
succeeded in eecting the same men they
had il Congress before. Their maiorities
in tyo districts being diminished to nearly
200ivotes and it is openly proclaimed,
AMI not denied, that hreling Of one of
tie candidates in the Baltimore district
ought fifty votes at thirteen dottars a
lead, in Washington city, and carried
them over to Baltimore, and were allowed
TO vote. Triumph, then, in diminished ma,
iorties, and those procured by bribery
and corruption.

As proof of this position we do not in

tabIish it by witnesses, by his own decla-
ralions, and by his own letters.
In the first place we will submit the fol-
lowing letters and certificates from three

ions in particular.
BENTON, Aug 7, 1887.
Dear Sri have received your letter,
and regret the misunderstanding which
has arisen from the conversation between
Judge Mitchell, yourself, and Col. J. F. IL.
Claiborne, in Jackson, about the middle OF
last month.
Although, | would prefer at all times, to
avoid being party or witness in such I'M
pleasant differences, yet as you call on me
for my recollection of the matters of that
conversation, it is due to truth that should
state it.
| had never seen Col. Claiborne before
that time, and was then introduced to HI"
Judge Mitchell, he and you entered in
to conversation in relation TO the election
for members Of Congress, which was to
take place in day or two thereafter
and touched upon the vexed question of
the currency and National Bank.
distinctly understood Col. Claiborne to
say, that altho' he was then, as he had al
ways been, opposed to the IT, States Bank,
(whoSe charter has recently expired) as
being unconstitutional and also opposed
to renewal of its charter without an a.
mendment of the constitution expressly
authorizing it: yet he was anxious to see
Congress take some action on the subject
of the currency. OF the various schemes
for relief, laid before the public, thro' the
press and otherwise, he said that he most
highly approved IF that set forth in the |
letter Of Governor James Hamilton to NJ |
chOldS Biddle, Esq. He drew from his
pocket newspaper containing that letter,
said he concurred in the q, eloS stated IN al, |
from the first to the last iine-and that 10 |
expressed his opinions upon the Subjec BET |
ter and more fullythan he could do himself |
Judge Mitchell and yourself appeared to
concur with hm-and | viewed the con-
versation throughout as being between
personal and political friends.
In this statement OF my rocnllectinn, | |
am not, and cannot be mistaken-aItho' |
1t may not be in the precise words of Col.
Claiborne, it truly embodies the exposition
of his opinion, made at the time referred
TO.

]. CHRISTY.

gentleman whose principles would not
permit him to do more than sit and tidget

CLINTON, MI, Aug. 10, 1887.
AT the request of friend of Major B. w.
Edwards will state, that at Jackson, a
few days before the last Congressional
election, Col. j. F. H. Claiborne desired
me TO say to Major Ed'cards that he agreed
Nth him on the subject eta National Bank,
and 'cOuid support him in his election for
lie office Of GOpernor. On my return to
Clinton few days afterwards, made the
communication to Maj. Edwards. 1t is
perhaps proper should state that COL
Claiborne did not, in the interview above
referred to, or at any other time, explain
to me what he understood to be Major Ed
wards views on that subject.

Our party is too respectable both in

clpIes OF liberty, which we advocate, we
should not lend our support TO the man,
who TO win Approving smiles from the
modern Federai Democrats, denounces our

is SO ignorant Of the history and nature

recent extraordinary encroachmentS of
federal power, as to believe the conserva-
