MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature of Maryland was to assemble
at Annapolis on Monday last. Among its first
acts Will no doubt be the division of The State
into Congressional Districts, the State being now
without representation, and the election of an
United States Senator. The Wings have decid-
ed majorites in both branches of the Legislature.
The following paragraph appears in several OF
the Baltimore papers, and from that circumstance
seems worthy of notice. Speaking of the meeting
OF the Legislature of the State, it says
"1f the rumors which are now rife in the State
be true, ii may perhaps become the duty of the
Senate 10 institute inquiry into the conduct and
proceedings of very high oflicer-and there are
besides other matters which will serve to heighten
the importance of the session.

u The Daily Mail between Winchester and
this place is now in operation. We are thus
brought within about twenty-six hours travel of
Baltimore and Washington. This will be great
thing for the people of the Valley, and we felici-
tate them upon the improvement. The contract
ors for the line are Messrs. KEMP, RIPLEY, g. Co.
who will no doubt do full justice to the enter
prize, and we trust they will be literally sustain
ed by the Valley community. The stage now
leaves Winchester every evening, at s O'Clock,
after the arrival of the cars, and reaches Stanton
early the next morning, in time for all the sta
ges. Travellers for the West may, therefore,
reach Guyandotte from Baltimore or Washington,
by this route, in about eighty-sx hours-a dis
lance of nearly five hundred miles.
GJ~We would respectfully call the attention Of
the editors of the "Baltimore Americana to the
fact that their paper is still the usual time, three
days, in reaching us-whe the "National Intel.
ligoncer" is received the morning after its date.

ASTOUNDING DEVELOPING NTs Z,

The Madisonian, Mr.. Tyler's organ al WASH
lngtcn, is making what it hopes will be taken for
startling Developments of party intrigue and COM
bination to put it and its dear friend, the Captain
down. We extract the following by way of
samples. Unjust really have contemplate OPT
Mon of the people, if it thinks to gull them by
such stuff:
"From the Globes union with the Clay prints
in The work of detraction-from Mr. Van Buren's
visit to Ashland-and from other indications
which we will dwell upon at more convenient
season., we believe that the workers of the CLAY
and Van Buren, machinery long since Dlufuahv
agreed TO thrust back the strong men of the res
peclive parties and elevate the weakest and least
deserving. The last men, if left to the People,
have become, by means Of party machinery (and
reciprocal aid the first, among mere politicians.
Clay and Van Buren, were compelled to aid each
other, for the nomination Of one depended upon
the nomination Of the other. Should stronger
man than Clay be nominated, .hen stronger man
than Van Buren, must be nominated to beat him.
They are the weakest men their respective parties
could nominate hence their treaty at Ashland 10
sustain each other, and hence the mysterious
course of the Globe ever since that ireaty MIR
Van Buren, and The Globe have abandoned the
cardinal Democratic principle, that the People
should select their own candidates for they are
eDdeavorlDg TO drive them hither and tbither like
flock of sheep. Instead of Van Buren, and the
Globe, we are satisfied majority of the party
would prefer to have as the candidate, Calhoun
Cass, Buchanan Johnson--and as printer,
Kendall or Bryant"
Another hallucination of the Madisonian is,
thatif there had not been Democratic caucus TO
nominate officers of the House of Representatives,
the Globe edito. would have received the support
of portion of that party only-that no election
would have been made on the first trial--and that
lin fulhment of the understanding, we suppose,
between Clay and Van Buren,) upon every sue
cessive ballot the Globe editors would have re-
ceived smaller Democratic and larger Wing
vote, until they received the whole Wing vote,

FOREIGN NEws.-The steamship Hiber-
MA arrived at Boston from Liverpool, on We'd
nesday the 2Oih, bringing papers from that
place TO the 9th December. Gen. Duff Greene
came passenger in the Hibernia The only
news OF interest is that from Ireland. The
State trials had been adjourned to the 18th of
January, and it was expected that the indict-
ments would be ultimately quashed on the
exceptions taken by O'Conneil. 1t is also
stated that Sir r. Peel, from the uncertainty Of
conviction under any circumstances, has de-
termlned TO apply to Parliament Tor summary
powers to put down the Repeal agitalion.-
Measures Of amelioration are also in contem-
platIon, and commission of inquiry will
commence its sitting Immediately for that pur-
pose. The "rinp' was still continued, and
was greatly above the former averages.

GIVE had not intended to publish the FOL
lowing correspondence, but as Mr.. Richie
seems to think some capital may be made out
OF It with Masons, we do not feel disposed
to withhold from him, or his cause, any be-
nefit which may accrue from its publication.
The sentiments expressed by MIR Clay, how
ever, IN regard to Masonry, ARE such as no sensi-
BILE Mason in the country, we are sure> will find
fault with-whatever the unnedged brethren
oil the craft, who have hardly got through the
iever-heat OF incubation, may think of them
That Masons politically opposed TO Mr.. Clay,
too, may evince their sense of fraternal obli-
gallon by endeavoring to make out the letter
sort OF concession to Anti-Masorry,is not i'm
probable; but we have no idea that any can be
influenced by it who are not pre-disposed to
oppose him. Masons would be taking very
high ground. indeed, to make an individual
politically responsible for the sentiments he
may entertain in regard to their ortler.-lt
is precisely such a course as they have been
complaining of in the Anti-NIasons for if it
be light to make attachment TO Masonry poll
ucal test, 1t is equally right TO make opposition
TO 1t a test also.-They cannot, therefore, be
guilty of such folly. But what are we to think
OF MIR. Ritchie's disposition 10 get up such a
ieeiing Is there no principle too sacred with
nun TO oe sacrificed to party advantage' Is
the right of individual opinion to be thus vio-
lated and tramped upon IF so. what is to
hinder MIR. Richie himself from becoming an
Anil-Mason, or even an Abolitiunist, should
policy dictate it, Nothing certainly for
there would be no principle to restrain him
IN the one case that would not operate equal
iy in the other. But, to the correspondence.
