It's very the locofocos alone understand
the way to humbug the people and to get the MAORI
ties.
Among other reasons for this astounding result we
have stated that the conduct Of the banks formed
one Of the prominent ofthe revolution in Mary
land. We may now add another The pertinacity
with which certain politicians urged Henry Clay
upon the people, was not without most important
effect. He has been so often distanced and defeated
before that nothing could be expected but the results
now before us in Maryland The wings will not
openly take upa candidate that a fresh
flame, like General Scott-henoe their bad luck
their continual defeats.
The elections soon to be held in New Jersey and
this state will terminate like the Maryland elections
if they do not change their policy, and take up Gen.
eral Scott This is the only Candidate which the
opposition can make successful rally.

tyrannica, corrupt, unprincpled rascals that ever
existed in any free land; and furthermore that they
are exceeded and that in some traits only, by the
locofoce leaders, whs, with less arrogance and more
liberality, probably equally corrupt and un-
prncipled, but far more talented and successful in
humbugging the people.
This certificate Of character, which we give " free
gratis for nothing" only covers the leaders-for
such special favors cannot be granted to many. The
great bulk Of both Parties-who seek no Office and
who support particular men or measures because
they believe them 70 be right-ony require the
TRUTH be for or against either party and that truth
We give them daily in the Herald in spite Of poti-
