MARYLAND FOREVER.

we have received full returns from the
election which took place in Maryland on
the i,h instant, and the result is truly graf.
flying. The Legislature is now Wing in
both branches, and secures the election Of
a Wing Senator in the place of Mr..
Kerr, whose term Of Service expired las,
March. We wonder If Mr.. Calhoun will
write another letter Of congra,uIa,ion TO
the Wings Of this State. The following
table gives the vote ofls42 and l943:

THE LINCOLN coURlER-AoAls.

THE LINCOLN CoURIER-AGAiN.
In our last, we denied the charge made
against US by the Editor of this paper, to
wit asserting that a majority of The De
mocrats Of Lincoln county are TIE descen.
ddnis of tories" And the Editor instead
of correcting his false charge" which is
as plain as his nose on his face, attempts
by publishing our remarks to sustain him
self. 1t does seem tina, none are so blind
as those that will no, see. We republish
our remarks:
Take care Mr.. Standard, you will tread
on the toes of some of your own folks
Have you no subscribers 10 Lincoln county,
If we have no, been incorrectly informed,
there was nest of tories near Ramsour's
Mill and Kings Mountain during the Rev
olution, and their descendants are now
most OF them said TO be in the Democratic
ranks. VIVA, say you 10 this, Ell
We ask there is any thing in the above
extract TO prove this charged We think
not. We admit saying that " majority Of
the descendants Of The tories are demo-
Gratis" and not a " majority Of the demo.
Gratis are the descendants oftorios." 1.-THE
Editor chooses 10 transpose our language
and say that ma ority Of the democrats
are tories, he is at liberty TO do so-bu; his
readers must not hold US liable for the
change. A word in your ear: As the De-
mocrats manifest such +" holy horror at
the tories and their descendants, suppose
Mr.. Courier, you enter into an examina-
ton and see how many you can find and
let the Standard know it. We think, per.
haps, you would find some in quarter al.
together unexpected.

unpopularity lost Tennessee TO the Locos,

houn's influence done for his party in Geor-

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIoNs.--The re-

We have elected fire Of the nine members
Of Congress, while we have chance for The
sixth! And This, TOO, in the face Of the
mosi infamous gerrymandcriHg thai ever dis
graced any party. The state was laid off
with an eye single to making six locoioco
districts, and the party were quite sure they
had done il; but "ifuih is urnDipo,cnt and
pnblic justice certain" and for once parry

only Wing Of the lnsi Congress who has
been defeated. and he was beaten by sad
ding his district with two thousand lioiien-
tots from Nash and Ed2ecomb counties; and
yet with ali This dead weight he is only
beaten 100 OF 500 votes, and probably moi
so much. Two iocofocos are elected in
districts which lasi year gave nearly 1000
majority each; but their election is equi,a-
lent TO defeat! One il elected by about

of selfish and embarrassing lrgislation. The
fault with most OF tie States OF the Union Is
no, in having too few laws, but in having more

hend, q. Hence when there Is no other Cause

the people, and keep them long struggling in
the bondage Of Indebtedness. Some of our Ia VIZ
are imperative, Others Injurious, and impair, IN
our opinion, the obligation OF contracts without
relieving the debtor. A stay law should not
extend such relief TO the debtor rs to render
the creditors remedy at law scare, ly worth
pursuing. What is TO be gained at present, in
Arkansas. by bringing suit for debl' There is
no telling how long a debt may be delayed,
and whilst the delay prevents the creditor from
meeting his contracts, and causes all business
to s;agnate, II accunulates enormous costs
against the debtor, who is eventually found to
be less able TO discharge the debt than he was
at the commencement. A stay law should
protect the honest debtor from the sudden ruin
which relentless creditor might possibly be
disposed to inhict-ii should never enable him

delays.
This, ard Tyler's DInk veto, we consider
the man causes of the slowness OF our recovery
from our pecuniary embarrassments. Our
people have been industrious and economical,

these inesiimable qualities, but the country las
