TON mere can De no uoupi Do' '
locofocos have elected their Governor ana
majority of the House of Delegates IN the
State of Maryland-a state which gave Uen'
Harrison one year 60 more than 4ooo nidJ-
The vote on both sides IS far less IMAM IL was
at the last Presidential election, but the iaiiine
off has been much greater on the part OF the
Wings than on that of their opponents. Inc
eause of the lukewarmness OF the wings, is
undoubtedly disgust at the conduct OF MT.
TYLER. For what inducement have the Demo-
erals of MARYLAND to make further exertIons
in support of man who has twice exhibited
in the space of one month, a strong disposition
to set himself up as Dictator Had lney
turned out in their full strength and elec'eo
their candidate for Governor, as they mlgh'
easily have done, the sychophants OF Inc hA-
cutiye throughout the Union would have Pro-
claimed :: great Tyler victory, "--''the veto
mower sustained" &c. &c" To prevent
any misconstruction of their real views. there
fore, the Wings of Maryland have stayed at
home as the Wings of Indiana did, and suffer-
Cd the election TO 90 by default.
But, although the Wings Of Maryland, IN
common with their brctheren in every stat G,
and in every territory belonging to the United
States, have been deeply aggravated by recent
transactions at Washington, yet there was no
reason why they should injure themselves for
the sake of showing their resentment TO the
truant of the White House. Mr.. Tyler s
term of office will endure for three years long
or, and we must take him during that period,
"for better or worse" as the case may be-.
Had not single Wing vote been cast at the
recent election in Maryland, Mr.. Tyler's seat
L. h. lacoc for
next three years. If every state In the Union
goes against the administration, Tyler is still
President per Sc, and cannot be effected. 1t
was manifestly the duty therefore, OF the
Wings of Maryland TO have elected that able
and consistent Whig-William Cost Johnson
to the gubernatorial chair, instead of allow
ing their opponents to elect that notorious and
prongate locofoco, Francis Thomas, to so re-
sponsible an office. They should also have
secured majority in the House of Delegates,
and then with Wing governor and Wing
legislature, the career of their enterprlslng
state would have been still onward. AS the
result now is, nothing but evil is to be anticl-
patcd. Reputation of the state debt, suspen-
sion of internal improvements, and legalizcd
suspension of specie payments.
The Wings Of New York should take warn
ing by the result of the Maryland Election,
and seriously reflect upon the probable con-
sequences which would result from their own
state relapsing into the arms of locofocoism.
Are they prepared to see a new Regency es-
tablished at Albany? Are they again ready
to submit TO the low and insolent domination
of Toryism in its worst form ? If they are,
let thcm neglect their duty at the coming
election, and theta desires will be fully con-
summated.-Troy IPhg.
BRrrIsn EXPLORING ExpEDITIoN.-A re-
cent arrival from Europe brought some
interesting intelligence concerning the pro-
gress of the British Exploring Expedition.
consisting of the ships Erebus and Terror,
which sailed from London eighteen or
twenty months ago under the command of
Capt James Clark Ross and Com. Crozier,
their main and ostensble objects being to
ascertain the true position of the South
magnetic pole and the exploration Of the
antarctic regions
These ships entered the main part Of
the ice on their voyage of discovery towards
the South Pole, on the 9Th of January last,
being then in latitude &c IS s., lon. ia l3
j.. On the 10th of the same month, they
deserted land in lat. 81 Sc s., lon. III II E..
and, coming up 10 it on the 10Th January,
they took possession of it in the name of her
Majesty. The land extends south TO degree
70. Proceeding EDWARDS. a large volcano,
emitting dense clouds of smoke, was OBJ
served on the 2Sth of January, in lat II 81
s., Ion. I67 So E. On the Cd of February
they reached to the utmost extent of their
voyage, viz. lat. rs S.. and lon l73 ~ W..
and were here stopped by ieebergs so feet
high, and by fields Office which were traced
as extending three hundred miles 10 the
eastward.
The expedition penetrated about four de-
grees farther south than the American or
French discovery vessels; and although in
the course Of the voyage it was enabled TO
verify the correctness Of many of the spots
laid down in the charts of The former; they
also discovered one single error, viz. the
existence OF water over a space described
as land, which the Eurebus and Terror &C
tually sailed over for very considerable
distance, leaving the land three hundred
miles from the latitude laid down in the
American chart. 1t is said that the sea in
This direction abounds in seals and sperm
whales.
The result of the attempt already made
has been highly satisfactory. the vessels hav
ing got within what was supposed bv the
indication of the needle to be one hundred
miles ofthe magnetic pole.
The Net Revenue of Railroads has GEN.
orally exceeded the predictions of their friends.
Take, for instance, the Lowell Railroad. Its
friends issued pamphlet, before it was sub.
scribed for and predicted, in this pamphlet,
that its net annual revenue would be $4,000.
This net revenue has been, in
