STATE. ELECTIONS.


ballot IN the next Legislature Of This S,ale-whereby
The W higs will lose Senator in Congress is un
less the Wing majority in the Senate should initiate
the example OF the Loco foco majority the Senate of
tennessee, and refuse To go into an election This
course, we see, is already recommended by Wing pa
per in Baltimore. But we hope it will receive no coun
tenance from the Wing party. They are bound TO
make the election, by the express requirement of the
constitution, and by their solemn obligation under
oath, to obey that requison. And n(Svolalon of that
imperative duty by their opponents in another State will
Justify heW in following the iniquitous precedent "Rs
just, and ftar no'-I is true, me Wings have las, ,s
ascendsncy in Mary land not by their weakness bu, BY
their divlsions-bu' this is their own fault and they
ohsh' to pay The bitter penalty Of heir fully. IT, having
iho strength they choose to deprive themselves Gifts adj
vantases, they have no right afterwards by ac,ous
course to endeavor TO snatch from their opponents the
tnef Is OF their superior wisdom and better discipline
That the Wings have lost Maryland by their own sui.
cldal course is manifest by the following paragraphs
from the Baltimore Patriot:
Those who are familiar with the poli,;cal character
Ut ihe several counties in this State will be immediate
~ struck with the fact that ,hr election has been los,
To the Wings, by divisions in their own ranks willis,
IN no county was the strength Of the Loco Fooos di-
vdcd by dlssenslons. The Wings had six candidates
IN Montgomery, where only four could be elected
and. Of consequence. two Loco Focos slipped in. In
Somerset, there were seven Wing candidates running
ana there again the Loco Focos enabled to elect
two more delegates. And in Worcester, there were
al one time, AS many rs twenty Wing candidates in
The held. and though most of these retired the day of
election approached, yet sufficient number beyond
what the county was entitled TO- remained as candidates
and the 'gs lost another candlda Understanding in
these three coun,us-Nlon,gomrry Somerset and Wor
cesterfive delegates, lost by want Of union and har
mony among the Wings. Had there been no division
IN that parry, should have elected these five dele
gates and instead Of Loco Foco majority of six on 1in
ballot. there would would have been Wing majority
OF four and with tie third delegate from ST, Mary's
majority Of five.
This election, though it has lost us tho United
states Senator, has secured the Senate Of the State
and at the same time has confirmed the Wby character

GEORGIA.-The Angus Chronicle Of the 9Th
inst brings returns from 80 countless which it SAYS
show about the same sul, as that for Governor in 1871
Our returns for members Of the Legislature Git adds
are rather more favorable for the Wings than our for
mfr report. but we have very le hope that lhr Wings
have elected mar rity in the Legislature" This re
suit does not dsappoint us. We shall no, despair,
however of seeing Georgia right side up'' in 1874
We were beaten there in 1855 bu, in 1870 there was
Wing majority Of 9o00-ln tic thirty counties heard
FROM the Wings have lost 20 members of the Ierisa-
ture, and gained 5-Net loss, s.
CONNECTICUT.-The annoa town elections in
this State show large accession to the Wing ranks

dunn to satisfy that Connecticut is redeemed from
the thraldom Of Loco Fucoism, and will next Spriuo
elect the Wing tickc, by Overwhelming majority"

Fdct' correspondent Of the last Republican We bad
referred some days ago, to the circumstance thst in
the oden time. the three great interests of the country
manufacturing, agricultural s. commercial were toasted
in connection at national anniversaries as friends
and moi rivas-as elements in harmonious combination
and not opposing forces, each seeking destroy the
other. And in doing so, inadvertently and withou,
being aware of the fact until attention was ar
rested by the solemn comments Of tic writer in question
placed manufactures" instead of 'agrculturen first in
the catcgoryand from this circumstance our acue crit
lie argues that we THEREIN show that the pro lection OF
manufactures is (our) paramount object" We shall
hereafter have to weigh words and scan our senten
ces with rather more particularly than is either common
OF always convenient TO editor who in the hurry q
his various empoymenis, has time always to quard

sentiments .3gric,Lme regard as the basis of the
nations weath-and by far the important sepa
racly considered, of our industrial pursuits-Next in

cann't reap the benefits which flow from the sound

as no p'eascs-5ut if ii is. it is stuff ofthe riuht sort
not such as dreams made of, like the theo-

TENNESSEE.-The Legislature Of Tennessee

conformity TO the Proclamation of Gov Jones We
