SO 034 votes, being 2237 less than at the election for
Governor in le4l. Baltimore city fell off eos votes,
and owing the Justification among the Democrats of
Carroll and Hartford, very small vote p,lled, and
the formerly Democratic majority reduced 10 almost
nothing
Here, then, find actual Democratic majority of
than four hundred voes-a majority retained III
the midst of many OF DEFEAT working wlhn the
Democratic ranks.
These facts are not without their lesson. The life
of the Democratic party IT'S unity of action From the
begnnlng OF IN. Government ITS advantages over ITS
opponents have been achieved through the .ingleneSs
oil purpose with which the superior purity and cooss
tency Of ITS principles have enabled II to act. When
it has allowed itself TO be- diverted from the great
aims OF It's exalted and benevolent creed; whenever It's
discussions have degenera'ed INTO facuous contests
about the merits of Individuals when the rewards oil
office have come to be OF more importance than the
principles TO execute which Office alone desrable II
has lost vitality; efforts have been paraly zed; the
sphere of l,siniuence has been contracted into compa
ratvely narrow circle.

of the last Congress- TO have the General Government
"assune and pay off the two millions debt OF the IN
debted States among which, Maryland stands prom-
nept. we did not look for different news from
MARYLAND than that which have before We
should indeed have been gratifrd, could we have aid
before readers the intelligence, that the people Of
that State had rejected the outrageous and dishonest
plan, make Connecticut, aud The other States that
are free from debt pay the debts Of Maryland, and the
other indebted Satesbut the result is other than
we Ieared-human nature rs so consolidated that the
accused desire for gold offer accompshes its object
We desire not, however, TO write a homily upon
the moral lesson taught this Wing victory; our op
ponents may crow it Justify they choose;
all zoe ask u.s. the attention of our armers-os every
Connecticut man whose conscience and principles are
not under the lock and key OF Wing leaders, to this
SUBJECT; and do but reecho the feelings oi those
who have spoken with US the subject, when we
say, that the Wing victory IN Maryland is note of
warning to Connecticut fortunes and her honor =
During the late canvass Maryland, the idea
promulgated by Mr.. Cost johnson, whom we have
above alluded to-the man who bad the brazen impu-
dence 20 propose the assumption proec. in Congress-
and which received not single Democratic vote in
that body-that Wing victory at this time in Mary
land, would be Of the final passage Of the
assumption scheme The question before the peo-
pie Of that State will the State of Maryland pay
debts, or will the people let other States pay
them for her, The lines thus drawn; on the one
hand, the honest debt paying people, who rallied
under the flag Of Demoerdey-and arrayed agains,
them were the paying and sneasing, whose peck
els are their Bibles with Cost Johnson their head
skulking under the folds OF the flag of Wh,ggery
Thus situated the battle fought and victory perch
ed upon the Wig flag! And this is the boosted vic
tory, which the Wing papers throughout the Union
the Herald, Palladium, and Courier, at home, pro
claim. Freemen Of Connecticut, remember these
things; call your attention TO them early, before
il too late.-[.New Haren Register
