From the Baltimore American.

OUR STATE ELECTICN.-Thc can
vass preparatory TO the Guberna toriul
lection Is about to begin with activity on
both sides The great results dependent on
the issue demand on the part'of thc u higs
an early preparation, union, concert and
u determined spirit. With these TO sus-
tam us we may 90 into the contest with
a pcilrct assurance of success. The po-
iIticaI sentiment Of the State uttered so en-
phaticalIy !rG: Fall needs only to be iaii :
" called forth to be reiterated again.
The ascendancy Of Wing principles in
Mary land is fixed with all that Grmncss
with which the good people of this Com
monwcalth have hitherto adhered to true
constitutional principles.
From the tone Of the Opposition press
in this State we may infer the general cha
racter OF the topics lpon which our OPP
poncnts will dwell in tie course of the
canvass. They are all of a ncgaiirc sort;
a series Of complaints and lanlt-Gndngs
without the suggestion of amy better po-
Icy in the place Of that which they object
to. Thus with regard TO a National
Bank they cry "RcpcdI, and yet keep
aloot from advocating the Sub-l'lcasury.
They complain of il 20 per cent, duty ON
tea, coffee and sugar, vet decline to recon-
mend direct taxation by the General Go
vcrnmcnt, which must be substituted i!
import duties are removcd-thc necessity
for ono resort or the other being brought
upon the country by the extravaganza OF
the late Administration. We shall hear
complaints, against the Distribution Bill
aud perhaps i'll the same breath doIciul
lamentations about the States want of
money. The Tax bill of tic last Lcgisla-
turc will be vchcmcntlv CondCmncd-yct
no other mode will be shown by which the
honor of Maryland could be sustained.
The State debt will be invcighcd against
as though hard words could furnish mo
ncy to pay it; and as though the very par
ty which now finds fault with it had not
participated in contracting it. To all the
noise and heat and fury which these re-
presentations may excite, let the calm an
swcr in the mind Of every patriotic citizen
he found in this consideration: whdt would
be tie condition Of Harylaad, Of her hon-
or and interests; if lie destructive doc-
rincs Of the Opposition shoud prcroi?
Let every right Judging man consider; let
him ask himself what sanalive principle
can be found in party whose twelve
years sway Frustrated the country-what
element of restoration that can bring re-
Operative power to the suffer ing State, or
preserve her from the further consequent
eos Of the evils which their policy has

BOUNDARIES OF LAND.

There arc few subjects, which cause 50
indebtedness oflccIing,and long ontin,l-
cd luminosity among noighbors, Us the UNI
settled state Of the boundary lines of then
lands. Thus it frequently happens that Il
dispute, "aboul'a trilling piece of land
which might be easily adjusted if proper
means were taken in the first place, is
made the subject Of much quarrcling aud
cnmity, and also Of protractcd, and cxpcn-
sivc litigation.
The division Of lands among heirs
should be made with care, and the boun-
diaries so fixed and established us TO pre-
vcntc the possibility Of dispute, for it Of
ten happens that land is SO devised as to
leave the intention Of the tcsiator very
uncertain and ambiguous and hence ari-
scs contentious, chickering's, and lawsuits.
among members OF the same family, where
feelings Of good will and sociabIity are
Indispensable. Fathers and others hay
ing lands intended as bcqucsts would do
well to find the boundaries in tneir own
llc-timcs aud not leave chem to be fixed
by others after their dcccasC.-Ilo Comments
set up 10 designate tho boundaries Of land
are liable to be destroyed by the hand Of
time, by the action of the elements, by de-
sign Of dishonest persons, and other cau-
scS, and if such monuments be the begin
ings Of large tracts or manors of land, it is
Il subject OF no little difficulty to asccr-
tain the exact original locality of such
monument, if there be no living witnesses
to prove their former situations; for If 9th
or monuments are known on the same
tract the rcvcrsion Of the lines to asccr-
tain the beginning is not to be depended on.
inaslnuch as the original distances were
in general very carcIcssly measured, 50
shat in tracing old lines the given distan-
eos almost invariably fall short Of reach
ng the designated points. 1t therefore
is very prudent for land holders to have
their boundaries established, and large
stones set up at the angles in presence Of
witnesses that they may thus be secure in
their own right, and live i'll peace with
.hcr ncighbors. VI.

hold Of lao oiucuiSm ia our county, aud
where it has ever mndc tic most strclu-
Gus efforts TO sustain itself, they were not
expected to do more than maintain their
position drrmg the late contest. But the
rcSlIt showed 4 greater increase in pro-
portion 10 their numbers, than there was
il any of the other districts. And in pro-
portion to 'thc;r numbers they have done
m orc than any otIcr district towards cs-
labIshing this paper Their subscriptions
towards buying the press amounted to
more tllan one dol ar for each whig in
GIIt district, and their number of suhscr
bcrs to the psptr's III ratio greater than in
any other part Of the county. We have
been forced to conclude that the ardour
thrt lately influenced our party UNIVERSAL

is still in foil flood, They are still the same
