Tue ELECTION To-Day. The citizens of
- MARYLAND are called upon to-day to exercise
one of their dearest rights, that of selecting
their legislators for the ensuing year. In most
Of the counties, and in this city, the election
will be decided upon strictly party principles,
M other than regularly nominated candidates
being before the people. No voter should be
40 careless or Indifferent to the issue as to neg
iect to deposit his ballot; nor should any impe-
diment be thrown in the way of legal voters
but as the right to vote is important, SO should
il be strictly guarded from imposition-we
therefore hope, that the judges of election will
DO particularly careful to exclude from the bal
lot box, every vote offered by person not
clearly entitled TO the right Of suffrage
The result of the election may depend upon
the fidelity with which judges discharge their
duties.
We trust that the election in this city will
be conducted without the slightest disturbance,
as it has been for years past. There is no
occasion for undue excitement; and the man
who may cndoavor to produce it, should be dis
countenanced By all who desire to preserve
peace and quiet Every voter should have a
fair chance to deposit his ballot; and there is
law of the State which Furnishes improper in
reference with his rights. Those who may
feel disposed to offer illegal votes should Ic-
member, that there Is a severe penalty for maxi
ing the attempt, and that it will surely be in
Aicted 1t is the duty of both parties to prevent
illegal voting, and we hope that the duty will
be discharged.
BY the act which passed at the last session OF
the legislature, for substituting biennial for an.
nual sessions of the legislature, it is made the
duty OF the judges Of election, to put to every
voter the question, whether he is for or against
the provisions Of that act, and to keep sepa-
rate list Of the votes which may be given on
that subject. We presume that the law will be
literally complied with throughout the State,
and that full vote will be taken upon this i'm
portant matter; as it depends upon the decision
which may be given by the people, whether
thirty thousand dollars year shall be saved or
lost to themselves.
Annexed is list of the places at which the
elections will be held in this city. The polls
will be opened at nine o'clock in the morning,
and closed at six in the evening.
