took very active part in the late election,
gave voter sheep to secure his vote

was sheep we'll stricken in years, and a
venerable looking sheep of the masculine
gender. Now had said candidate succeed.
ed BY bare ma orty Of one vote, and rode
INTO Congress on the aged and masculine
animal aforesaid, he would certainly have
been bound to have gone tooth and nail
for the m00ieAs bill, if for no other part Of
a Tariff. The aforesaid loco who was so
very busy in getting votes for his party,
was trying to renstale himself in their
good graces which he had forfeited year
or two ago, when some Of his brethren

election OF whig, and now notwithstand-
ing his labors and his sacrifice in hcstow-
!ng the masculine animal aforesaid, some
of his party will be so ungralclul as to
say TO him as the little boy said to lbs
Iather on another occasion. The father
was very fond Of rum, but did not wish
his workmen TO use any, and when he was
hiring his hand for new year he men
TONED that he wished them to work that
year without rum, and said to one. John

Mr.. ElcKETTs:--Dcar S;r.-In. our
rejoicings over the glorious Victory the
Wings Of Maryland have gained we have
TO rcpreach ourselves in this county, that
we could not add our portion 10 swell the
Inajority.-Though outnumbered This time
at The ballot boxes, we are not defeated.
When another opportunity offers ltsself, we
will be found again, side by side with old
Kent, and stand ready now to pledged our
County for at least fGy for the gallant
HARRY OF THE WEST.-The result
here is the only nut the Locos have found
or can find to crack, and we give them the
full enjoyment of it. While they are
chuckling thus, we are al work. We have
now in successful operation, two Clay
Clubs in the County, and another propos-
ed besides these, we have committees in
each Of the election districts who are busy
at work.
Since the announcement Of the different
majoritles, we have been looking for full
fllment Of the promise made TO us by Mr..
Constable, while in our County-tilat il
Preston should defeat him. he would hang
himself upon the big oak tree near your
place. He probably feels himself virlu
ally hung NJ, and thus will avoid his
promise. ....
