Our Stale election takes place on We'd
uesday next. You mus, be- prepared for
defeat. The Democratic party. tri.
umphant in every other quarter, ha, lately
lost ground fast in Maryland. Our dis
seusiou. will lose US the Stale. Had The
canvass turned upon the general quealions
Of State and National policy, We might
count upon glorious issue nf the confess.
The course of the whig senate IN refusing
TO 20 into The election Of u U. S. Senator
conduct SO pa!pabIy unjust, uncon,iitu.
lioual, aad even revolutionary in IFS nature
gave the Democrats an advantage so
great, that without the intervention Of
some ACT Of consuma'e folly on their own
pari. r,ctory rrds certain. Unfortunately
some of our iricnds were guilty Of such
consnmale lolly--'o call II by 10 worse
name. Coming down from the lofty posi-
Iion in which they had heen placed by tie
rccrcancy Of The Wing senators as vindi-
Gators 0f The constitution and the laws,
our brethren in some of The counties have
nominated for the Legislative 'ren pledged
to vote for repeal Of 'be STATE tar.--in
other words, Rcpuhiators! In Hartford
County, the TWO parties have rome TO a
direct issue on thi, point-lh- Democrats
were Nominated as rerudiatnrs. aud the
Wings as anti rcpudiaIors With such au
issue the result cannot well be in doubt,
nor can any homes, man who has the
courage 10 break through party rraIEmels
a few days ago. ! net a young Democrat
of linrsord. man OF great intelligence and
moral worth, aud WHOSE influence there
corresponds with his high qualities of bead
and heart. | asked him ifihe Wings had
not fair prospect Of carrying his county,
yes" said he. g" both believe aud hope
that they will myself intend TO vote
the whole Whie Ticker Doubtless,
manv others in IlarGDd, in Carroll, Tai
bot. &C., will do The same. Bur the evil
Of this unhappy course are
rnI confined 10 the Counties have uamed.
They have extended themselves Ia others
where our friends nre doing battle moulilly
for their principles. and with clean hands.
These ruinous proceedings arc depressing
US every where" the " hole hear, is sicE,

with such ticket. we sEnulG be sure 10

best ticket wc have in The State. think
the Wings will have n'ajrri'y of the
House as wei! as majority by join, hal

only hope now Of over coming their ma
ioriry is that the Wing dissensions 10
Charles md Montgomery may lose them
a few members. But il is frrorn hope.
If we shall elect The Senator The Whiss
cheated Us out OF last year. | shall be- most
asrecabIy disappointed, and very willing

With regard 10 presidential preferences
III This quarter, ] think The asI eel of things
encouraging. The accounts thai come
IN from The country show rha' n majority
Of the Districts will seud Calhoun Dele
gates 10 'hc Convention. In this city. tbs
Van Buren, incn claim large majority for
their iaYur;,c, bul think IN. greaI Caro-
linan is gaining upon ihe people every
Lay. Certainly. he is lhc hfsi choice Of
most o! 'nc leaders.
When The lime comes 10 appoint Dele
gates TO the State Convention the Calhoun
strength IN this city will be fully showu--
aud " i'll b. iel, in The appointment of tho
iw" Delegates fur the State al large. who
will wihouta doubt be friends Of Mr. Cal
houu. OF one thing he assured; no Syra-
cuse Convention irickery will he suffered
here. The friends Of our candidate are
too numerous aud TOO decided for that.
Yours truly.
