10 Tue EdH0f OF Mt Union:
The favorable termination Of the Maryland cleo
tons affords suitable opportunity to congratulate
you and the administration upon glorious a re-
suit. Although our opponents preserve a meagre
majority in the popular branch Of the Legislature,
we have handsome majority of the delegation to
Congress- matter more important in It's conse-
quences to the administration profess to be con-
versant with Maryland politics; and think can
confidently assert, the result is triumph Of demo-
cratic principles. BY the returns from the several
districts, perceive, in the sxth--composed in part
Of the counties of Dorchester, Somerset, and Wor
cester, which have usually given nsjor,es Of some
thousands--they do not now give as many hun
dreds. That district has always given the largest
wing majorities in the States now the whig candi.
date is elected by but 156 votes! In the second dis
trict, of which the county of Allegany composes a
part-where, for many years past, the parties have
been 30 equally divided that the delegations to the
legislature have been composed of some of each
you now find her giving the handsome majority of
500 votes, out Of $500, for the democracy Again,
IN the fifth district, of which Cecil county is por-
ton, you find the talented and energetic Constable
triumphlng over all opposition-the influence of
Senator Pearce and the lavish expenditure Of Balt-
more wing money, to the contrary Notwithstanding.
ana, with all the party management in organizing
the wards in the city of Baltimore and the eloquent
and touching appeals Of the favorite wing candi-
date, MIR. Kennedy, democratic principles have pre-
vailed, IN the election of two favorite sons of de-
mocracy--thereby clearly manifestng thatthe march
OF democracy will certainly go on, dill Maryland is
redeemed from the misrule Of whigery.
But must not overlook the first district, of which
the ancient county Of St. Mary's stands first This
has been federal county ever since its first settle
ment, and at this time contains wing majority OF
from $50 to 400 voters; but you find the talented
and devoted Key has triumphed, by majority Of
IS votes, over his deservedly popular opponent.
This congressional district gave wing majority Of
1900 votes for Mr. Clay in the late contest: il has
now given but 355. You will perceive, in all the
counties OF this district, Key has reduced the
including that of Charles, the residence Of
his opponent Too much praise cannot be
awarded to Mr.. Key for the noble effort he has
made IN behalf Of his party. Great have been the
sacrihces he has subjected himself to this, as
well as on all other occasions where his services
have been required by his party. On this occasion
defeat was inevitable. 1t was scarcely possible that
he could overcome majority SO large, at an cleo

BANKS AND THE PEOPLE.

The democrats are now charged, and have been
since the bank veto in 1892, with being opposed to
sound, healthy, and well-regulated currency, and
have been made the special subjects of whig de-
nunciation, for thus attempting to destroy that
which, of all others, is ofthe ostviial importance to
the interest of the whole people--a stable and uni
form representative Of the labor of the poor marv
and the property of the rich man. The entire vo-
cabulary Of bingsgate has been long since ex-
hausted by wing speakers and writer's, in their
attacks upon the democracy of the country, because
they resolutey and pertinaciousy insisted on know
ing something Of the condition of the banks and tie
mode and manner Of their operation. They appea
to have been ignorant Of, or wfuly blind to- the
fact that the human mind has a deep and abiding
sympathy for truth. Banks, banking and bankers
were all alike to them profound mystery; and in
endeavorIng to penetrate the mystery, they were
but searching after truth. Yet because thew press
ed their inquiries little too far, and discovered
that the system which they were examining was
like unto whtened sepulchre fair and beautiful
without, but rottenness and corruption within they
have been denounced by every dwelling federal
orator and bank agent in this country, as tamper-
ing with, and attempting to Destroy the currency
All the denunciation and abuse has only the effect
OF stimulating that curiosity which has been bun
partially satisfied by the discoveries already made,
and inducing the people to watch with Jealous eye
every attemptto impose upon them system which
they have heretofore found TO be one of unmitiented
evil Interested individuals may attempt to dcude the
people by artful representations Of the limitations
and restrictions which the present law imposes upon
the banker; but they will find that the people are
disposed to examine the subject for themselves and
that they will not rely upon the assertions Of those
who have SO often deceived them. spirit of in
curry and investigation has been excited which will
not tolerate, much less support in our midst, in
situations which shun the light, or whose doings
are enveoped in mystery. II they desire to acquire

LETTER FROM MR.. CALHOUN.
FoRr Hill, 18th August, lS45.

DEAR Sin: am in the receipt ofyour letter, con-
veying certified copy Of series Of resolutions Of
your convention, unanimously passed, approbatory
Of the course of the late President and his admins
tration in reference to the annexation of Texas,
and communicated by its direction.
accept this highly honorable approval Of the
distinguished body which you presided, of the
part ] performed towards the contamination Of
this great measure, with sincere pleasure and graft
tnde
Taken altogether, it is one of the most memorable
events of our history; and am proud TO have my
name associated with it, One Of its most striking
circumstances is the unanimity and enthusiasm
with which the people of Texas returned into our
great and glorious Union, in spite Of every obsta-
Gle thrown in their way, and every seduction pre-
scented to influence their decision 1t speaks vol
ume in favor of their intelligence and patriot
ism; and is at the same time, the highest eulogy
ever pronounced in favor of our free, popular in
situations; and will be felt throughout the civil
lied world. This high evidence of the devotion Of
her sons the land oftheir BIRTH and its Institutions,
gives assurance that she will shine as one of the
brightest stars in our brilliant constellation.
avail myself of the occasion to tender to you
my congratulations at the high honor conferred on
you by the convention in selecting you to preside
over its deliberations Il is, indeed striking, and
to me, a gratifying coincidence, that an old ac-
qusintance and native of the district reside in,
should be called to preside in the convention which,
on the part of Texas, contaminated this great meas
ure; in reference 70 which, il has been nv fortune
10 take not an un-distingushed part; and that
another old acquaintance, and law student of mine,
and native of the same district with myself, should
be the chairman and organ Of the committee by
which it was contaminated.

Qua INDIAN ArrAIRs.--From the reports of the
government Indian agents, we learn that the Gu
manche who killed the little girl at Austin last win
Ter, and who was suspected of being accessory to
the murder Of young Hornsby, in May last, has,
together with his father, paid the forfeit of his life
for those ourages. And this act Of rctributye ius
tice has been inflicted by the Cumanches them
selves.
II appears that there are among these Indians
two partesone in favor al peace, and the other Of
war. The former sustain the chiefs who have eel
ebrated treaties with the whites The latter on
pose them, and have heretofore committed acts of
robbery and murder, with view TO involve the
whole nation in war. Until recently, the war
party have been dominant, and those inclined to
peace could not punish their aggressions These
circumstances, however, have now changed. The
peace party are in the ascendant: and as a manfes-
iation Of their fidelity, and show the whites that
they are disposed to remain friendly, the first act
other power has been TO punish those who have
opposed their endcavors TO maintain peace.
The annual Indian council will be held at most

yet never attended any of our council talks lately
had an interview with one of our agents on the
San Saba, and promised to be at the council and
unite with tho other bands off nation in treaty
ofpeace.
The late foray of the Cumanches beyond the Rio
Grapde has been crowned with entire success. They
returned not long since, loaded with spos. About
the 10th July, the young warriors of the various
bands assembled for the purpose Of making war
upon the Mexicans; and, led on by the chief Buff
falo Hump, proceeded TO the Rio Grande.
