THE ELECTION IN CARROLL COUNTY.

THE ELECTION IN CARROLL COUNTY.
The election Is now over, and the Wings Of
"liule Carroll" are Again victorious. With the
.xeeO,ion Of the candidate for Sheriff they have
.l.e,ed their whole ticket. This, considering
the desperate efforts, for lime, made to defeat
ihs entire Wing ticket, may, indeed, be regarded
o. u triumph. Every shift that reckless men
could resort IO-every exPedienI that desperate
politicians could hit upon-every falsehOOd that
cunning could invent, hypocrisy cOuntennnce, or
dishonesty circulate, were freely made use OF;
but all TO no purpose. The Wings Of Carroll
were too intelligent 10 gulled BY false exhibits
Of taxes, and TOO true to their principles to be
swayed by Locofoco clamors. They were not
10 be deceived by the eleventh hour sympathy
Of The demagogues who, whilst their party con-
uOlled the Legislature, increased the State Debt
in few years, from about hve and a hall mil
lions Of dollars to nesr twenty, without making
one half Us much Improvements as had been
made for FIVE and half millions, and were now
whining because The Wings had devised system
of taxation that raised u sufficient amount Of rev.
enue 10 pay the interest on The debt created By
LocofOco legislation, and provide means for its
ultimate liquidation.
During The whole day it was one cOntinu-
Gus rain; but the Wings of Carroll, true TO them.
selves, their principles, and the Wings of Ohio,
were not to be Ihwarted by such imPedimenIS.
They rallied al the polls, withstOod the storm,
adopted measures to secure a general turn out
and victory crowned their exerlions. Whatever
may be The result in the State the Wings of Car.
roll have nothing TO answerfor. II, unfortunate.
ly, we have failed to secure a majority in the
next Legislature, our brethren in other counties
must answer for the consequences. So far a;
Carroll county is concerned, all is we'll. She
sends TO the next Legislature men we'll qualified
90 llgislate, not only for their own immediate
constituents, but for the interest Of the people o.
the whole State; and who are, moreover, untinc
Iured by LocoGocoism. II our brethren in olhel
portions of the State have done as we'll as the
Wings of Carroll, we have nothing to fear. W.
have performed our duty, our whole duty, bu
nothing short of our duty. Compared with las
year the aggregate vote has been increased more
Than two hundred.
Wings of Carroll! You have again defeated
your opponents upon their O'On issues, and Ogair
proclaimed your unAinching adherence to Whif
principles. Again are the Whigsof ohoindsbt
ed, in part at least, to your 6rmness for the main
,enance of principles dear TO every Wing in the
State, and in behalf of the Wings of Ohio, We
return you The grateful thanks of the party io
the victory you have achieved.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

The Maryland election is over, and with 1t The
hopes of the Locofocos obtaining majority in
the National House of Representatives. The
House is composed Of 228 members. or those
already elected, lis are Wings, being majority
of The whole House. In this calculation we do
not include Gen. Lahm, Of this Stae-Ihe inde.
pendent member elected by the Wings from
New York-or MIR. Levin from nsylvania.--
Mr.. Levin was member of the last Congress
and voted with the Wings on most Of the imPor.
tan. questions acted on by that body, and it is not
unreasonable 10 suppose that he will pursue sim
liar course in the next Congress. The other
,wo gentlemen were elected by The Wings in op.
position 10 the strenuous efforts Of the radical por.
lion Of the LocoGocos in The respective districts;
but as they have, on most questions, heretofore
acted with The Locolocos, we set them down as
Locofocos until they, by their actions, satisfy us
shat we are mistaken. The Wings, independent
Of the members we have mentioned, have alrea-
dy majority in The next House of Representa-
Iivss. The elections yet to take place, though
they may, or may not, increase that majority,
cannot change it. The Senate will be overwheI.
mingly LOcofoco.
This being the position of parties in the next
Congress, it remains TO be seen what will be done.
We do not desire to forestall public opinion, and
shall await the assembling of Congress and the
receipt of the Presidents message before we give
decided expression in reference to the Mexi'
can war. If the President should make out
clear case,--should give clear and satisfactory
reason for continuation Of thewar,-should give
us fair exposition Of his objects in the invasion
Of Mexico, and the terms on which he has promo.
Sed to treat for peacc,-should satisfy the people
that the object Of the war is not The conquest ol
Mexico, or to despoil her of her possessions; in
short, If he should clearly satisfy the American
people that in commencing and prosecuting this
war, he has been actuated by no unjust motive
that he has demanded nothing that is no, clear
ly right" then we shall say that it is the duty oil
the Wings in the next Congress 10 vote for every
thing asked by the President, to facilitate i,s Ter.
minaon; but if he should continue to pursua the
course he has formerly pursued, and give no sat.
isfactory reason for its commencement, its pros.
ecurion, its object, we shall regard it as the i'm.
perative duty of The Wings to resist its further
continuance, and, in such case, we sincerely hope
that the Wings will vote against all supplies Of
men and money, and thus compel the President
20 Withdraw our forces, and terminals the war.

THE ABOLITION VOTE.

1t will be perceived, by reference to the official
abstract of votes POlled in this county, published
in this column, that nearly the entire abo.
lion vote of the county was cast for The LocoGoco
candidate for Sheriff. This, in measure, ac.
counts for the increase of his vote over the bal.
ance Of the Locofoco ticket.

MARYLAND ELECTION.

The annual election held in Maryland on the
9th inst, resulted in the choice Of P. F. Thorn.
mas, the Locofoco candidate for Governor. To
us, this result seems strange and unaccounable.
The Wings have elected four Of the six Con.
gressmen, and likewise secured majority in
each branch of the Legislature. In the Bali.
more District, we regret to learn that the Hon.
John P. Kennedy is defeated for Congress. Mr..
Kennedy has long been regarded as one Of The
ablest and most energetic Wings in the Union,
and his election would have been an honor to the
Monumental City, as we'll as triumph Of correct
principles. But we are not disposed to reject

Whig Patriotism.

We have occasionally as in duty bound by the
obligations to the people as public journalists,
given specimens of wing treason in relation the
Mexican war. We are happy in being enabled to
give the other hand specimen at least of whig
patriotism. The Albany Evening Journal, leading
vhig paper, in commenting the wing resolution.
recently introduced in Congress, recommending re-
call of the armed forces of the u s. from the terrific
ries of Mexico. justly says:
''Noihing but evil, in all its influences, can come
of this ill-timed and ill-judged movement. Il is,
practically aud essentially, false position. We
not, without exciting the of the world back out
OF Mexico under menace. Admit as we are forced
to admit that we bundered into the war Being in.
we must fight ourselves credtably out, cost what it
may. This is indispensable duty, not so much in
reference to Mexico, to the necessity of preserving
the respect of other nations.
"The gallantry and prowess Of our Army and Ma
Wy, through the war OF 1912, with England secured
peace of thirty years, during all which time our
FLAG was honored, and the rights of American citi-
zens were respected throughout the world. As Gov
ernments are constituted, might makes right" Our
country will only be respected long as it has the
power and the spirit 10 vndcae its rights and avenge
its wrongs.
"Were we now to skulk out of Mexico, other ma
tons, presuming either upon our weakness or our
pusilanmIty, would avail themselves of the first
cason TO brow-beat and insult us. 1t would as we
have said be buying half dozen wars.
| THAT we have been rushed into disastrous war,
under " malign Influences" is painfully true. But
the manner of getting out of it concerns the country
the whole country, deeply and vitality.
" Dir. Ciley's proposition is unfortunate in all Its
aspects 1t will, unless promptly rejected, procrast
nate the war, and render the hopes of peace distant
and doubtful. Mexico advertised of the existence oil
such sentiment in congress- would continue to spur
all propositions treat with 1t is therefore, OF the
highest Importance that the press, the people and
their representatives should set their faces firmly
against this ill-advised movement"

The MASSACHUSETTS, ANTI-SLAvERY CONVENTION
recently held stormy session of three days. The
most prominent topics of discussion says the Boston
Post, were the Mexican war, the position of the
American church and clergy in relation TO tie anti
slavery cause, the dissolution of the Union, and vari
Gus other subjects of disorganizing and anti-repnb
can character. The following resolution, offered BY
Mr.. Garrison on Friday morning. was the principal
subject of discussion during the day.
Resolved, That all who participate in this war.
with Mexicol or who give il any counteDance, are
the enemies of the country and traitors TO liberty and
the rights Of man that no request or order of the
executive for aid in its prosecution either BY voting
supplies ensting in the military service, ought to
be complied with by Congress the peoples that the
American troops now occupying Mexican soil ought
instantly To be withdrawn, and fuil PREPARATION made
to Mexico for all the outrages and suffering that have
been ruthlessy inflicted upon her by this guilty
ton.''
Now there is this credit due to this resolution, bad
it is is consistent in all its parts, and in pro-
posing to carry into full effect the principles which it
In this it displays at least the virtues of hon.
esty and courage and thus much differs with similar
sentiments expressed by wing politicians and editors
Many Of them pretend 10 estimate the war in the same
light that Garrison does, but while thus guilty of
moral treason against their own country, they are
either too cowardly ypocritcal propose the
same remedy On the contrary, they base their only
hope of party success in the next Presidential canvass
upon tie chance nomination of of the military
heroes which the war may create, and who may be
-schooled in unjust. unholy and ungodly war;

the measures OF their party as the chief civil execu-
tive officer Of the country.
