Maryland ELECTION.

a NJ La
The official returns of the election in this
State are published in the Baltimore papcrs,
and the figures, which "cannot lie.' sufficient
" accounted for the defeat of the Wing ticket.
Last fall, a. the Presidential election, the Wing
vote was 33,25s-Mr. Johnson's vote for Gov
ernor now 2463S, being decrease Of just
$500. Ga the other hand, the Loco-foco vote
for Governor now is, some 1000 less than Mr..
Van Bureu's vote last November. 1t is OBJ
yious then that the defeat which overlook the
Wings in Maryland resulted from no increase
Of strength on the part of their opponents. but
from their own indifference and inactivity.
Add this is equally true Of Georgia and Pennsyl
vapia. In both of these States the whig vote
falls off greatly, while the Loco-f oco vote, no
not increased, is kept nearly up TO last falls
standard. We are thus left to the notifying
conclusion lhst the disastrous result IN these
STATES are chargeable to our own friends.
They had The strength. but they lacked the
spirit. in which our elections, TO be carried,
must be contested. 1t is idled TO hope for vic
tory over q vigilunt, disciplined and de,ermin-
cd opponent, where none Of the means by which
alone victory is to be secured, are adopted
bv our friends. We cannot conquer ,cdhou!
united harmonious, organized efforts. But
with these Essential aids" our cause AID eur
marty are, and will continue 10 be in"inci-
bic.
|, is for tho wings of New York 10 say
whether they will prof: by the experience ol
their political brethren in other States, and
adopt, while there is yet time, those measures
which are indispensable 10 success, That the
majority of the People of this State are now, as
for wears past, opposed 10 the runlous ''experl-
ments' of Van Burenism and TO the Obstructive
encroachments of Loco Focoism, cannot for d
moment be doubted. That proper exertion'
on the part of leading wings will induce {
general rally of the friends of our cause at The
polls in November, is equally certain Who
then, will counsel or consent 10 an uncondl
tional surrender of the Empire State 10 Loco
Focoism, when we have the strength and tn,
arms 10 win the victory! Who that call;
himself wing will submit to such disgrace
when his own voice and vote may avert ii?
BURIED ALIVE Almost, not quite.--A scene
strange as any founded on fiction occurred II
! this city on Saturday last. We will give II II
the words Of the gentleman who furnished u:
with the fact. His veracily and its truth may
| be relied on.
1t appears that ayoung SPanyard was lying
in the last stage of yellow fever. The physi.
clan was sent for. but before his arrival the
young man had ceased to live, according II
the opinions of those in the house, SO that wher
he arrived he found his patient covered with O
white linen, and reported as dead. That very
evening they washed and cleaned the young
man, and having put on his burial dress, they
laid linn on his bed until the morning. In the
morning q coffin was got, and all the necessa-
! nv preparations were made. He iher
taken and put in his coffin, bus no sooner wa
he dropped in than he jumped up and asket
where they were going 10 place him. They
I then conducted him in carriage TO a coloret
nurse woman's house. lie is yet very sick
but may perhaps live. ItapPears that he wa
in state of ethargy- Orleans Plea
