MORE DisoRcASizisG DocrRIsEs-The Baltimore
Daily Wing, paper supporting Henry Clay for the
Presidency suggests, that the Senate of Mary land
should moi go into election for United States Sena.
tor at the approaching session of the Legislature
The reason for this advice, evidently is, that the
Whps have lost, by the recent election in Maryla
their long maintained asce ndancy in the Legislature.
And now that "the sceptre hath departed, the motto
of "rue or ruin to be held up, BY nconsderabe
portion only, we trust, of the defeated Federasts.
Without regard TO any party or set of men who may
be Inclined 10 resort TO such of proceeding
feel impeled by sense of justice, TO raise voice,
at the threshold in condemnation of any such preme-
ditated movement as suoyersve oil public liberty, and
fatal to the principles of Representative Government.
But should this suggestion be received with favor by
those whose action it 10 proposed 10 influence, what will
be the RESULT May not their opponents, at subsequent
session Of the Legislature pursue SIMILAR course:--
And is there any earnest that they will not do so:-
Thus may Mary land, for long time, not only be de
prived of Senator to represent her interests in the
national councils but her people be distracted by the
angry contentious with such proceeding, recon.
mended by the "Whig, must inevitably produce.

have salutary effect, and Illustrate the object which

We regret to see IT suggested in the Daily Wing,

This is a sufficient reason-nor would il have been
