II will be seen from this address, that the wings
of Maryland boast Of most extraordinary victory.
But in the midst Of their Boosting, they seem to
feel evident chagrin at the singular defeat expert
enced by them in Baltimore city, which they at
tribute entirely to corruption, bribery and false
hood, operating to the extent of one thousand

thrty-flve thousand voters in the whole State OF
Maryland against thirty-four thousand other voters
their equals in patriotism, talent, virtue, honesty,
moral worth and every quality that ennobles the
species. We believe that this document is founded
on incorrect data-that these respectable men who

victory,-and meagre victory it is,-in Mary
land, they have by means demonstrated that
the opposite party is corrupt and demoral-
lied, as they would imply by their charge-a charge
which reflects as much credit on one side as the
other. Let US anayze the result.
We have now before US the returns from every
county in Maryland, and these returns when CON-
