MARYLAND ELECTION.

For the first time If we remember righuy, lot
ten wears. the State Of Maryland has now 10 her
TWO Houses of Legislature, preponderance oil
,h. nsrocratic vote An United States Sena-
90, or ,hs old school will be elected 10 place OF
LEEDS Kerr, whose name has but rarely APP
pe.red, save on the record Of affirmative or mega
tive votes.
We have reason now TO hope that Mary land will
be represented in The United States Senate by
4 man Of SOME talent and some Teputa tion ;
that he may be fit associate Of the proud lead
ers Of Democracy there, Calhoun and wright
Rives and Buchanan.
For many especial reasons are we reJoiced at
the late result in this State; first, because we
recognise it as a triumph Of the old Republi-
can principles Of the Virginia school--as re-
turn in the minds Of the People to those prima-
~ and salulary articles OF the Jehersonlan
creed, now SO fortunately imbodied in the Chief
Magistrate of the Union.
And, secondly, inasmuch we have stormed
the stronghold of uIraism, the fancied Gibralt'r
ofClavism. Ii was in this State the desperate
leaders of the fiction had entrenched them
selves it was in this State they matured their
plans and concentrated their forces; and from
this State they issued protocols and manies,oes
We have now taken from them their strongest
hope, and in this do we rejoice with exceeding
joy.
Thirdly, it has been whitening rebuke to
the presumptuous few, who, pretending they
were Delegates to the Harrisburg Convention,
addressed the People Of the State, unsolicited,
and without excuse, in publication replele
with gross misrepresentation OF the Executive
of the country, with impudent reflections upon
his character, untenabIe and false, and with
coarse impu,atons regarding his political SEN,
timents. Two of the ten sgners Of this dis
graceful paper have been sgnally defeated
one in hitherto decided Federal district, which,
probably, the odor of his name has revolution
lied. Thus have their base attempts at defa
nation recoiled to their instant disadvantage.
And, in the fourth place, do we hail this glo-
rious election as indicative of the daily force the
Administration is gaining in the affections OF
the People; of The People emphatically for ii
is 10 them, ire spectve of politicians, the Ad
ministration addresses itself-and they seem
willing to respond to call, made in all the sim
ceriy Of truth. The President, an elege OF the
Jefersonian school, whose principles were the
early nurture Of his youth, opens TO the people
the prospect Of Republican Administration
such as the revered sage of Monticello would
have recommended to his disciple; he calls up.
On them 10 rally around an Administration, con-
genial with their sympathies, and identified with
their dearest interests. He tenders them peace

of party persecution he guarantees returning
prosperity at home, if sustained by their aid
and their cordial cooperation. Unfolding the
standard, the sacred oriaamme of ancient De-
mocracy, he calls around him, in aid Of the Con-
stitution, the ban and the arriere ban OF the
falkland "in hoe signo rincemus," with this
standard will we conquer, as our fathers did
