Secur;or the election OF WHlG L. ;. SENA-
TOR.
'rtis victory has been achieved in contest char
scterizsd D, obstacles such Is The Wings OF MGrv-
land nave never before had 70 encounter, ana winch,
for the hoaor OF State, we hope We shall never
again have 10 contend with Inc election, every
Sbsre. beyond the confines OF the City OF Balii-
more mas been conducted IN manner winch sails
fes the most sanguiIe friends oi the hig cause
The questions Issue have been u'iy discussed by
them and the people nave spoken their sentiments
through the Ballot Box, with an honorable and en-
ishtened appreciation OF t,e great interests lnvol'-
ed in the election. Our opponents have eIerted
their utmost strength aud have been most sgnatly
defeated.
In the CITY OF Baltimore the contest has been one
of pecuiiar viruence. and il has been sustained on
the part OF our adverssres we regret 10 say by et
forts which will neither rebound 10 the honor norto
the future strength OF their party. ihis cry mas
been the point upon which the e1erticns OF the enc
mics of the Wing cause were chiefly directed. III
was obviously their plan 10 secure msloritv here
which shouldoutweish the expected successes otthe
Wings OF the Counties. All the means that money,
personal endeayor, dlllgent misrepresentation
promised favor, fitery, or ioFeign in'etposi'ioh
could supply, were at their command. Under the
combined operation OF these agencies our opponents
have won the city. They owe their success alone
10 an inglorious dexterity in the practice o those
arts bv which the popular voice Is suppressed and
the popular will overthrown.
The largest vote ever taken in the city OF Baltl-
more heretofore was that which was castn October,
iost wear. upon the occasion OF the Mayors election
The whole number then poled was l4,999. Ot
these the Wing vote was 1000; that OF our oppo-
nents 7.298 The vote cast in the recent election
amounted 20 l., ,l85, Of which 1868 we're cast by the
Wings and 100 by the other party, showing an M
crease of Wing votes TO the amount OF 1868, and OF
,b, nf StlD This
ment speaks for itself. We have no hesitation in
expressing our belief that OF these 892 votes, full
300 were falsely and surrepttously introduced 10
the ballot box that they have been the product OF
skilful and diligently perpetrated fraud upon the
rights of the real voters OF Baltimore. Casting
these aside, the majority would have been for the
Whig candidates, i'll accordance with the best esti
mates which we had previously been able TO make
of the election.
The articles of our opponents, however have been
frustrated by the devotion OF friends throughout
hs State, and we afford 10 take the disadvan-
tnre which the miscarriage of this city has thrown
upon u.s. The State OF Niaryiand is firmly and I'M
mutually planted in The Whig line, and she will as
Suredly increase the strength oi her position IN No
yelnber. The battle has been already fought anu
an honorable yictOry-ttic more honorable from the
baliied stratasculs of the cnemy-has perchcd upon
our standard. We give the results of the contest
hroug hout lo State from authentic sources OF IN
formation, such as have been despatched to us III
the first moments of victory. Upon these, full re-
lance may be placed. Let our brother Wings
throughout The Union csnfdc in this commune
cation, aud initiate the example ui Mary land.
