GREAT WING VICTORY IN BAL
TIMORE,

that series of victories over the opoiisuen
and Experimenters, which has so signally
distinguished the presen: year, have again
1 placed the MONUMENTAL CRY in the first
rank among the VINO CITIES oithe Union.
| We refer TO the official returns given be-
low. for the evidence Of victory, which,
under all the circumstances OF the case,
NAV be numbered among the most remar-
kable trumphs that have ever been achieved
over the Administration. We have sue
ceeded with the whole Wing ticket-we
have carried our candidates for. Governor
the Senator-and the Delegates, by hand
some Majority.
The result, under the circumstances. we
maintain, is u more signal and more mem
orable Wing triumph, than if we had obtain
ed majority Of A THOUSAND, IN an election
fairly and peaceably conducted Never
during our whole editorial career, in this
city. now reaching to quarter Of century
have we beheld such scenes as disgraced the
election yesterday. Every species OF strata
gem, fraud and violence was resorted TO, by
our opponents, during the day, in order TO
defeat the will OF the majority Of the people !
and at night the peace fthe city was disturb
ed by bands Of ruffians. exasperated by defeat
and smarting under the failure Of their at
rocious schemes The polls in the wards in
which Loco Focos had the greatest strength,
were taken possession Of at an early hour,
by gangs OF desperadoes who occupied
the door ways, blockaded the passages =
and used every means unfortunately. with
too much efiect) to prevent the Wing votes
from being taken This was particularly
the case 10 the Isl, Sd, 4th, 10th, lib and l2lh
wards
| The conduct Of several OF the judges of
the election was most reprehensible. and
called down upon them the strong censnre
Of everv man who had any regard for the
maintenance OF freedom and independence

far from aiding to secure the votes in the
quiet and effective exercise Of this ines
unable franchise, as it was their bounden
duty TO do They interposed distractions,
in addition 10 the difficulties created by The
violent conduci oflhe partizans around the
polls. We understand that the most excel
lent arrangements were made al the polls
in the Seventeenth Ward, TO facilitate the
voting. Artificial passages constructed OF
strong boards had been erected, and also
convenient places for the challengers The

these to be removed. and declared that other.
WISE the election should not go on The
conduc, of some ofthe Van Buren, Judges in
some of the other wards was still more ex-

own pnrlizans, over the heads OF the Wings
who were near TO them and by their
whole proceedings encouraged the disor-
derby persons around The polls in the work
Of obstruction. Blu, we shall refer to this

our patriotic Wings were prevented by
these exhibitions Of violence from depos,ino
their votes
The scenes Of the night were still worse
than those Of the day. Several thousands
of Wing citizens were peaceabIy assembled
in front ofthe Chronicle Office awaiting with
patience, and exemplary order, the intel.

wards. Never have we seen so LARGE
a body OF men conduct themselves with
such perfect decoIum. About midnight
they were assalled by band of the rufiians

and several muskets and pistols were freq.
one of which took effect upon a worthy
citizen, who was borne off seriously Injured
The Wings stood their ground firmly and
succeeded in driving back their assailan,s-
The loco focos then supplied themselves with
such missiles & bludgeons as the streets &

attack After several sIirmishes, in which
they were repealed by the Wings, the MAYOR
was waited upon, but he could not be found
the Judges were sought for but the search
was equally unsuccessful and finally two
magistrates granted requisition for the
