DEAR DocToR-We came of more than conquerors, yesterday The Wings are beat en, and that badly They have not succeeded in single instance Dr. Croft, and James Clark are elected to the House. The Doctor took the field boldly and manfulIy for all the Democratic principles, and nobly defended Col, Sever, and Gen.

MARYLAND ELEcTIoNs.-The elections, in Ma ryland, for Governor, and members of the Legsla- ture, took place on the End instant. The Baltimore "Clipper, of the 5h brings us the result through out the State.
 As was expected, by both parties, the Wings haze carried Maryland. ''The Dutch have taken IToI- land." PRArr, the Whig candidate for Governor, is elected, over CARROLL, the Democratic candidates by majority of fve hadfed end. thiry-ttco eoteg! It will be remembered that in l840, the State went for Harrison over Fun Baren, by majority of FIsE THOUSAND votes. So, the Wings have lost, sine 1910, nine te1ths of their majority in Maryland and yetthey eXalting oyerit as great victory Suc eXultations are very much like the rcioicings of 2 wretch who, having lost all his limbs is thankful for the miraculous preservation of his nose. They hew, at least, that the Wings frightened almost ont of their wis. The truth is, Maryland has al- ways beena Whg State; and, Re doubt not, always will be. No one has expected her to elect Demo cratic Governor, nor to vote for Democratic Pfesi- dent She is one of the sic States that have alvas been counted for 1G Clay and closely IS ws a.ss run them, in the recent elections, there 1 no hnua of her iorsaling the old error of her ways sufficiently to give Democratic vote this fall. Yetthe Democ- racy of Marylandare noble band; and well deserv- ing of the admiration, and lrateraa ynl athy of the great mass throughout the Union.
 The Legislature is. also, Whggish by large ma jorties in both Houses. Let the Wings make much of their rietofB in Maryland; for, of truth, they will find very little else to rejoice over.

DG. 5. BoRLaXD-The time seldom comes which enables us to record such an event in north Arkansas, as has been latte1ly witnessed by the Democracy of this county. There was an appointment on CuYant river. in this county, for Vim. Byers, Whig candidate for hlector, 10 address the assembled citizens :; but the iates were unpropitious,. and produced failure, which we, as well as our Whio. friends, have cause to regret A splendid barbaeue was prepared by the Democrats, for the welcome reception of our Whig friend :. and we are assured, that host of truths were held m readiness to meet him on the stump. 4 rich and finely adorned flag was hoisted on ihe young hickory; and upon it's folds were the names of POLK, DALLAS, and TExAs- Thus bearing on its folds, the true spirit of patriotism, and arousing in the lxber's breast, and the youthful heart, those feelings of lib- erty, patriotism, and western rights, which arc only evinced in the actions of free and Democratic people
 The gathering was large, respectable, and orderly. Some anxiety being manifested by the crowd for a speech, Dr. ". A. Houston was at length called forth He discussed the principles of Democracy as 10 the riqhts of ifeemen; and exhibited in plain, but strong colors, the trickery of the coon party, in their attempts to seduce the lovers of liberty and equal rights from their 2 first faith.''

As WE ExPEerEp.-The Gazette, as we expect cd it would be, is as dumb as an oyster about 4s- riagton and his letter of withdrawal from the Whig electoral ticket and renuncaton of the Whig party We expected this, because we felt assured that the managers Of the Gazette feared the effect upon their own characters, as well as upon the prospects of their party, of publishing the letter; unless they could counteract its injurious influence by abusing Arlington in return; and this they are precluded from doing by having already endorsed his priraie rirtes, eminent talents and staaac4 IVaig priaej- ples," What will they do to-day , Will they deny having received the letter-or deny all knowledge of such man as A.

PAST FOLLIES.

Never bring up past misdeeds to condemn reformed
man. There is not person living who has not during
some period ofhs life, either said done some foolish
thing, which little more care and experience would
have led him to avoid. tits ungenerous and cruel to
to bring past buried faults and toes to light Judge
man by his present character and conduct and not by
the course he pursued dozen or twenty years ago.
If there is an individual who shold receive the censure
OF the community it is he whogo far back into the
buried pnst to uncover deeds or foies for the pur-
pose of injuring the feelings or bringing upon
one he considers an enemy. Such person really de-
serves the execration OF mankind.
