MARYLAND.

The true stale of parties in the Mary
land Legislature is a decided triumph Of
wing principles. OF the 81 Senators we
have gained l2 and our opouents 9; ofthe
10 delegates we have elected 40 sure, and
our opponents SIS. There are two doubt
full and two ties, of which our chance is as
good at least as that of the enemy ; but
even giving these four 70 the admnistra-
ton, we have still a majority Of one certain
in the House, and of four on joint ballot
The probability is however, that the Wings
will have majority of SIX on joint ballot,
If not more.
But even in the election Of the admin,
istraton candidate for governor, there is
no room for uneasiness on our part, or for
exultation on that of our opponents. 1t bears
no testimony against the preponderance Of
Wing principles, or in favor Of Sub-Treas-
ury doctrines. On the contrary it actual
iy portends, d isaster 10 the party in this
state. The defeat Of the whig candidate
was accustomed solely by an impression -
whether correct or not we do not know.
that he was opposed to internal improve
ments 1t is evident that the wings did not
give him their strength; for his vote is low
er, than that Of the other candidates. In
the city Of Baltimore his majority was only
III, while the average majorityof the wing
ticket was 100. In Washington county
his vote was but 1865, while the wing
Senate candidate had 200G.--In Frederic
his vote was 2537, and, that of the wing
senator 2575. In that same county the
Van Buren, candidate for governor had
1882 votes, while the Van Buren, candid
ate for the senate had 2412 And SO gen

clusiyely that local causes operated against

POETRY
THE REvoLurIoNARY VOTERS.

THE REV. LUTIoNA VoT L ).
"In Mortified. N. H., on the day of election, min
revolutionary soldiers attended the polls together
and voted the democratic Wing ticket"
Room for the grey haired soldiers
In noble band they come
But not with the battle shout,
Nor with the sound of the martial drum
Not with the nodding plume,
Nor the war sliced proudly prancirg,
Do they come with the light of the day,
On their bayoncts brightly CHANGING
Not now with the stats and stripes,
Above them floating free,
Do they press to the battle field,
With the cry of Liberty;
Nor now does the cannon roar,
Or the speedy musket flash,
Rally the ranks of the freemen
Where the swords of foeinen clash
| With tottering steps they come,
And lips all bloodless now
II hey press like the bride at the affairs shrine,
To renew ,heir early VOW;
For Freedom, still the cry
Echoes from hill and valley,
And they rush al the call as other days,
When the war-cry bid them rally.
One tells the hair breadth Escapes,
With Stark at bennington,
Another drops sodier'stea
AS he speaks of Washington;
And they tell TO each the oden tale,
Renewed in golden story,
OF Lexington and Bunker Hill,
And the death Of the craven tory
Room for the grey haired soldiers
Room for the patriot sires,
Who kindlod in our green land
The light of freedoms fires
Long, long may they gather hero
With the children Of the free,
3 And ever as now renew their vows
in the cause of Liberty.

Having very large amount ofcash to make out
immediately, to defray the expenses of issuing our
paper, which through the gross negligence of those
indebted to us have accumulated against us to
large amount, we now OBLIGED TO call upon
every man, who owes US, to make out and remit
10 us without delay, the comparatively small amount
which is our just and honest due. We would be
CRATE full to our agents in the different towns if they
would try and assist us in this business The a.
mount due from each, is triAing--But our large
amounts come from these trifing bils--and we hope
no person will excuse himself or think hard that we
thus urge our honest claims. The fact is, we suffer
for the money--and money we mast hare The
paper we use costs money, and does all our ex-
penses, which are heavy. And how can we get a.
long without money. To patrons in town, we
would say, that we have authorized Mr.. JOSEPH
Snow TO call upon them, and we trust they will not
be SO hard-hearted, and unfseIing, as to bid him
seal again. but like gentlemen and ladies', as
we trust they are fork over the ready, and thus re-
lieve our pressing wants. and encourage our hearts

greet to say that we are obliged to do SO.

pusion, and would be the last to abrdge
any mans right, and drive him to believe
aud act as he did. But he looked at this
question, as one of great magnitude, invol-
wing results of the greatest moment to the
interests of moralty--the well-being of So
ciety, and the true interests Of the town;
and while he was for giving to every man
his rights, and allowing all, the privilege
of thinking and acting for themselves, he
must claim for himself, the same advanta-
ges, and in accordance with truth and con-
science, express and maintain his honest
sentiments, as citizen of the town, and
well wisher to the communicable cited
instances, where the sale Of strong drink
had been prohibited, and adverted to the
happy consequences that followed. He
contended that it was always safe and ex-
pedient to do right; that it was the duty of
our citizens to act conscientiously, and
with regard to morality and justice, even
though single handed and alone, as regards
other communities, 1t was the more viz
tuous. He could not perceive how pro-
hibiting and stopping tho sale of intoxica'
ting liquors, could multiply drnnkards or
increase intemperance. He concluded by
addressing hiInselfto the benevolent and
philanthropc feelings of the people, --allu-
ded to the evil influence, which these sinks
Of infamy, exert upon the rising generation,
and asked if any parent present had son,
whom he was willing to urge into the ranks
OF tho Incorporate, and finally follow to
the drunkard's graye!--if' any man had a
brother or a friend whom he wished to
see thus sacrificed, and his prospects bligh-
ted and blasted forever!--and in conclusion
he urged upon all present, tho importance
of weighing well the subject, and acting
with strict reference to justice, and the
high interests of community.
The passage oftho motion, was also ad-
socated by Messrs. Swasey, Rogers, Nc
Lelan, and Walker, after which the Qnes-
ton was taken, and the vote declared in
favor Of postponemcnt. 'fhc vote being
doubted, was made certain by polling tho
House, which resulted in showing that the
majority in favor of indefinite postpone
ment was overwhelming, $50 beng about

ELECTION FRAUDS. Che elections in
Pennsylvania and Ohio, have resulted con-
trary TO the sanguine expectations Of our
friends. In Ohio, particularly so. Ent
the inquiry naturally arises, why is it?
Nor so Ear as regards Chic, which in fact,
is the only aysm we have me, with, when
all the circumstances connected with the
election in that State, are taken into tho
account, we may readily perceive the rea-
son Of our bad success. The well concoct-
ed plot Of the loco focos, in regard TO the
delivery Of Rev Mr. Mahon, Of the Metho-
dist church to the authorities of Kentucky,
on charge of kidnapping slaves &c, and
the time serving course ofthat party gener-
ally in the State, on the abolition question,
was one most powerful and overwhelming
source of defeat, to the Wings. To be
sure Gov Vance acted correctly according
to the evidence he had, and when apprized
of the facts in reference to the case, was
likewise prompt in acting things right
but it was then too late to dsabuse the pub
lie mind, which the industry and craftiness
of the loco-focos, had already on the eve
OF the election, filed with excitement, SYM
pathy and Indignation, on account of the
surrender of Mr. Mahon, as above alluded
to. 1t was an excitement at the very crl-
sis, when needed by the tories--could not
be met by correction, and proved irresisti-
Bile, in its effects.
Another fatal error the result of an over
| weening confidence in their own str ength,
was the strong personal feelings of our
fiends--predllection for particular men,
withou. decent regard to the wishes of the
majority. Divisions and heart-burnings,
strife and envy crept in, and thus we per-
ceive another efficient reason of defeat.
Either of these causes, alone, were sufi-
cient to defeat the strongest party and tho
most worthy candidates. The result should
admonish our friends to be more careful in
future.
Regarding Pennsylvania, from the state
nents, which may be found IN another COL
umn, we have accomplished as it s,a victory
though not so decisive and triumphant, as
we had much reason to expect, according
to the calculations, made upon the result,
by our friends in that State, before the
election took place. As in this State, so
far as regards the Wing strength, the result
proves to be more than they calculated up

Tns SATANIC SCHOOL OF DRAMATIC CoMPosr
TIoS.-Sedacilon, adultery, incest, robbery incend
arsm and MURDER form the principal features of the
new piece Of Ernest Maitravers, which we saw on

dish OF horrers, however, was tolerably complete !;
and, until human nature becomes more dcpraved, or

erto unheard OF aocitv, the aathoress OF this drama
has reached the TOP most round OF the climax of por
