the battle is TO be "lost and won''-,hat
on account of the crude anI floating ma
teria's TO be operates! npon, direc, personal
influence ran do much more here than in
any other part Of the district. Upon
these things in part, Cecil Pounds her
clalms---its business cannot bul be appa,
rent, and the patriotism of the whiss of
her sister counties in the district, is too
great, to require that she should call upon
them to sacrifice their ambition, to ensure
the success of their principles.
In regard to ",he man." simply. she can
''measure arms" with any Of them. She
has sons of whom she is proud, and who
would maintain the honor of Old Mary
land with integrity and ability.
In another column will be found COM
muncation, recommending James III.
lamar, ESQ, as a suitable Candidate
We agree with the writer in regard to the
ability, zeal, and great popularity of Mr..
LAMAR, and in the event of his nomina-
ton, will gladly lend all the aid in our
power towards his election,
PREPARE ron THE CoNrEsT.-We would like
to be able 10 use some word or phrase, which
would induce every wing in this county, to 90 to
work with his might in assisting to elect the
Wing candidate for congress, at the special cleo
ton to be held next month. 1t is argued that
the House cf Representatives at Washington, is
so overwhelmingly locoioco that its complexion
cannot be changed in any degree by the six MEM
bcrs from this state, and that consequently it is
but little difference, whether they be wings or
locotocos. This may be very true so far as the
immediate bearing of the result is regarded but
there are other important considerations involv-
cd, which demand that we should be active and
industrious. Our probable district is as hvora-
bic to the success of the locofocos as the wings
fnot more SO, and much depends upon the exer-
tons made at this election, as to what lis polti-
cal cast shall be. Let us train it up in the way
it should go, so that it may not depart from it.
Let us make it ga Wing fiom the start, ;" so that
hereafter we mcy have confidence in its princi-
pies.
In Georgia. in Massachusetts,, the elections this
year have been highly gratifying to the Wings.
How shall Maryland respond Shall shebe Wing,
OF shall she be locotoco: The result orllis cleo
ton throughout the state, will have an important
bearing, upon the next fall election, which will
DC most important one. five choose, we can
win that battle now. fthc Wings of Maryland
do their duty at this special election, they then
will triumph with ease.
Induced by these considerations we would
urge our friends TO prepare for the contest-to buc
klc on their armor, and make ready for battle.
Let every man do his duty-let not a stone be
left unturned-let every voter determine to be
at the ballot box We arc voting for "a sound
NATIONAL CrERENcr, regulated by the will and
authority eG the nation" We are ,corkng for
can ADEQUATE REvESuE, with fair Protection to
american Industry" We are striving for ''iust
restraints on The Executive power" We are for
the Dis iribution of the Proceeds of the Public
Lands, in order that our state may have help III
time of need. We are contesting for an honest
and economical administration OF the General
Government We are advocating SINGLE
TERM in tn Presidential Office. We are voting
for Henry CLAY. We are in contest for the
cardinal principles Of the Wing party-princi
pies as immutahlc az TRUTH itself When
principles are at stake who will be stayed by frost
or blast, or storm, or flood. Let no one be pre-
vented from turning ont by inclcmcncy ofweath
err Let every man be at his post-then victory
will be ours. and we will have the satisfaction to
know and feel, that we have done oul duty as
wings, as patriots, and as men.
