THE CAUSE OF OUR DEFEAT.

At the Issuing Of our last paper we had not
received the returns from the whole State, but
what we had were sufficient to lead to the belief
that our party would have majority in the two
houses on joint bolot. But we are disappointed.
we have been defeated in our strongest holds
not by an increase in the ranks of our opponents,
but by dlsailectlon in our own. In Somerset
Montgomery, Worcester, Caroline and St. Ma
ry's, the Wings turned fool (somc of them at
east) and ran host of independent candidates.
Forgetting that "a house divided against itself
cannot stand, they divided themselves and were
conquered The votes received by the ndcpcn-
dants, were of course withdrawn from the uonl-
mated tlckot-hence its partial defeat.
THE U. s. SENATOR.-And what is the
consequence Why! that Locoioco United
States Senator shall be elected! The Eastern
Shore Of Maryland must be represented by
Senator opposed IN politics to two thirds of its
voters. If Caroline, Somerset and Worcest
alone suffered by it, it would be jnst-they de-
server But it is hard that we Should be pun
ished for their misdemeanors. Impressed with
the Importance of preventing the locos from hav-
ing the power 20 gcrrymander the state and elect
asenator, tina wings OF this county, though strug-
Cling against strong majority, cxcrted them
selves like men, and defeated the most exceptional
bic OF their opponents. Caring Tor none of these
things tho counties named above, played the fool,
and now when too late to remedy it, they feel
the effects of their folly.
But say some let the wing Senate refuse to 20
into an election for U. S. Senator. This we
cannot listen to for Il moment. Reference is
made to the course Of the Locofou os in New
York, in Virginia, and in Tennessee In this latter
State the locoiocos in the senate, have hindered
ii from being represented in the U. S. Senate for
the last two sessions.
But if the locofocos arc dishonest politicians, land
they are) 1t will not justify the Wings in pursu-
ing their course. If they have acted meanly,
land they havc) it is no reason that the wings
should do the same. Let them have the senator.
Dshonor not the Wing party and tho Wing
cause, as the tory-revolutonist- Locofocos have
dlshonored their party and their cause The loss
OF Wing Senator is quite loss, but the loss of
principle is more. Let us hold fast to our ntep-
rty; presently the correctness and the Justice of
the Wing doctrines will prevail

GROWING BEFORE THE DAWN.

After the polls were counted at Por,
Deposit, the locos (having had small
increase of numbers lhere) hoisted Mr..
Blddle on their heads and shoulders,
marched triumphant through the town by
the light o: tar barrels, and shouted and
halloed tremendously. You needn't stare!
MIR. Bludle, who by the way is very clev-
er sort ola man, isn't as heavy as lie used
to be; having shaken off considerable of
his corporation, riding "a rough horse cleo
pioneering. Well, so they carried him,
and so they shouted, and so the tar bla-
zed. Presently in came the returns from
the old unterrifed 9Th. Twas like thun-
der clap-shouting ceased-"we'd better

Nothing was to be seen of them, and no
sound from them was heard, save the fol-
lowing stanza from the celebrated Dr.

by an old one, who appeared to be less
frighted than the rest.

(From Grceiy's Wing A7manae.)
The Currency Question.

The Wings maintain that il is the duty
Of the Government TO provide, and that
the necessities of the People demand, a
National Circulating Medium of uniform
soundness and value, circulating from one
end OF the Union to the other without
discount and without cavil, being always
redeemed in specie, and everywhere re-
ceived by the Treasury in all payments
thereto. They hold it impossible that
coin alone shall perform this service, be-
cause of its weight, its bulk, and The diff
Guilty and cost of its transmission; while
they insist that no paper not possessing
National Character, or not redeemable on
demand in specie, can ever be expected
20 do it. The great advantages of such
IA circulating medium as the countrG en-
joyed from 1921 to 1886, and as the
Wings hope to restore, must be evident
to all. Suppose that the annual exchan-
gcs OF products between the different Sec
lions of the Union, SO remote as not to
possess uniform local currency, now
amount to Five Hundred Millions per an
mum, (Which it probably exceeds,} and
that the average cost of difference of en-
change, discount on Bank notes, &c is
but four per cent on the amount; here, in
in the absence of National Currency, is
an annual lax of Twenty Millions per
annum levied on the productive Industry
Of the Country for nothing, or to support
an army of Brokers, Travelling Agents,
SC. who would otherwise be employed
in useful industry. 1t is the same as
though one twenty-ffth of all the merchan
table produce and goods of the country
were. annually sunk TO the bottom of the
sea. Therefore, say the Wings, object as
you may to the powers or management
Of this bank, or that Fiscal Agency, but
do not deprive the country utterly great
advantages which it onc9 enjoyed and
may we'll enjoy again. TO say that we
ought not to have National Currency
because Nick Biddle was rascal, or his
Bank corruptly managed, is to trihe with
the good sense of the country. Nobody
SO acts on such considerations in his own
personal matters, Ii there were defects

PRESIDENT TYLER AND HIS son
ROBERT

The New Haven Palladium says
The Middletown Comm Post Office is
subject Of great contention about these
days. A few months ago Tyler sent into
the Senate the name Of a Wing for the
place; but withdrew the nomination be-
fore it was acted upon, on being told that
the candidate was not the right sort of a
man for him. A few days since. MIR. Eli
Wilcox, a Conservative, was notified that
he was appointed TO The Office and was
requested to send on his bonds, which he
did. Mr.. Starr, the reformed Postmaster,
was not in town when this news arrived;
but his father Immediately wrote to the
President in his behalf, saying that hi
son was true Tyler democrat, Sc. upon
which Bob Tyler,n the Presidents son
and Private Secretary wrote back to Mr.
Slarr-saying that "ii your son is a demo-
crat, he shall not be removedp'-and thus
the matter stands. Wilcox saws he shall
not. The one has the authority of the
President, and the other of "Bob," the
son. To what pliable condition has
our poor country become reduced? The
administration Of its affairs was conducted
with decency and even dignity by Jack
son and Van Buren, compared with the
present disgracelul career of John Tyler
and company"

that some locofocos do not wish the trou-

is the conclusion we draw, and indeed
there IS nothing lost, as there may be 9TH

Some no doubt will be surprised at the

sued in Withdrawing their advertising at

he called on a number of his customers
members Of both parties, who owed the

He also busted himself in circulating lies
against Mr.. Foard, was caught at it, and
cannot deny it. We repeat, that we are
not surprised at his "cut throat" course;
he is rather a small potatoe' affair.

Rel,eSdiNJOrS.

A letter from Worcester County to the editors
of the Baltimore American, states that some of
the Wing candidates there "wcre strongly tine
tured with the heresy of reputation" and the
consequence is that locotoco is elected in
county where the Wings have some hun dreds
majority.
We cannot too highly censure the Wings of
that county for suffering repudator to be on
their ticket. They deserved to be defeated
The disgracgul, rouguish, and abominabie doc
trine of reputation is entirely ant-whig. 1t has
no resting place in Maryland, except in the bo-
SONS of violent Locofocos, the Wing party reads
out of its ranks every man who en,ertains it, and
we are happy to see that there are many locoto-
cos who are honest enough to show 1t no favour.
Our state shall come from the ordeal unscathed
she is able and she is acimg to pay her liabilities
In every portion of the state where repu-
diator dared to raise his head, he was pelted
down in disgrace, we hope never to rise again.

in that populous county one hundred and twenty

the South and West on an electioneerinp
tour, at one of the towns he visited, he
was met says the Lexington Intelligencer,
by number of citizens as usual. who had
assembled to show honor to the EXPIRE

come HIM among them. The speaker, in
alluslon to the retirement of their guest

The following 10 a list of the votes received BY
the candidates for the office of County Commits
sloner in the different districts. We recollect
having heard Locofoco, (who threatened by
his influence to change the political complexion
OF the old Sth,) say, that John Janney Esq, could
not be elected commissioner, but the result shows
that his constituents are well pleased with his
conduct since he has been in office. Although
the whole Wing ticket received an unusually
large majority in that district, his majority is
considerably above tbo ,y,r,no

amend them; but to argue thence that we
should have none, is like insisting that
the explosion ola boiler should put an
end to Steam Navigation. On all this

adverse to the election of Mr.. CLAY. must
be united in one harmonious body against
him, or his success is, Ia ayMc least Of ii,

terror inspired in the ranks Of the enemy,
by the spontaneous, enthusiastic accla-
nations of the PEOPLE, for the great
statesman of the West occasionally mani
fest itself, They know that the preu-
dice that their lying clamor succeeded
for time in raising against him, is de
and buried; and that now his fame COM
mands the love and admiration of the
whole Republic. Calumny and deiama-
ton can no longer blacken his character,
and well may they call upon their Icgions
to rally and fight with the energy of des-
pair, if they would compass his defeat.
