Dear SIR have by this days mail receiv-

81, with an enclosed copy of the proceedings
of a meeting held by the ctizHns OF BALTIMORE,
who are friendly 10 my election to The Pres.
dcncv.
The political sentiments embraced in the pre-.
amble and resolutions adopted al thai meeling
rejoice TO say, meet with my cordu approval
and assent. No movements in any part of the
country, having the object to off,'r testimonials
Of honor and respect towards myself or to ad.
vocaIe my election 10 the Presidency, have
caused in me more lively pleasure, or demand
more my gratitude.
You will please do me the favor 10 make
known my acknowledgements to the citizens of
Baltimore for the unexpected and unmertad
honors they have conferred upon me, in euch
manner and terms as you may deem most pro.
per.
They are obligations which, should the votes
Of the country be cast in my favor, it will most
surely be my endeavor to redeem to themselves
and TO all the people of our country.
must be permitted to add, that, as they have.
with so much confidence placed my name in
nomination before The country on their own
responsibility, free from party acIiOn and The
exaction Of pledges from myself, shall serve
them strictly as q constitutional and not as a
party President lin The event already alluded toy
-and as my ability will permit.
Plense accept my thanks for the kind sent.
ments you have, in forwarding The proceedings
of the meeting, been pleased to express to me.
With sentiments of cordial respect and re.

During the prevalence Of high prieess iasl
summer, we could scarcely take up a Locofocn
papsr without meeting with a sereolyped pre-
diciion nearly in these words: $50 long as the
larif Of 1916 remains undisiurbcd, prices of
breadslufs must Iule high" The tff cts of a
failure Of crops in many parts Of Europe, and
The almost entire destruction Of the potato plant
in Ireland. were pressed TO the credit Of the Lo.
eofoco tariff. and no language was TOO Iaudaiory
to be applied TO that said tariff. Il was perfect
jewel Of a tariff. il worked to a charm. and the
farmers were called upon to adore Mr.. Polk
therefor. The tariff Of 1876, did remain IN.
disturbed however, and perhaps will remain so
until the manufacturing interest Of our country
IS entirely, as his now partially, destroyed; but
all of sudden the prices o. breadsluffs com.
menced Iumbling down-down-lll scarcely a
bushel Of grain or -four could be exported. and
even consgnmenIs Of grain were refused in
New York, because the transportation charges
were beyond the value ofIhe commodityl From
the following figures il may be- seen, at glance.
how far short Of fulhllment The predictions Of
our Locofoco friends, made last wear. have
come. The following comparative table is

Lei il MOI be said that this dninnlion in the
exports OF brcadsIutfs is the result of scarcity
with US. Although we have not so large sur.
plus as last year, we have still an abundance
for our own consumption and good deal TO
spare. But The Iaudcd foreign market presents
no inducements, and with our low runge of
prices AT home, the lower range abroad renders
exploration out of the question.
One Of Two things is thus shown to be certain.
Either The tariff of l846 has been disturbed, or
Locofoco politicians are not endowed with the
giG of prophecy. The Free Trade policy Of
our Administration may work we'll enough when
people on The other side of the Atlantic are
starving, but il does not open foreign ports, nor
foreign markets to US when plenty reigns there.
We huzarded the prediction. last summer, that
our country as II whole would he no gamer by
the then high prices, and subsequent events
have shown lhnl we were correct. We reason.
ed from the usual course Of events, the laws OF
trade, and from firm belief that
"There is divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough hew them as we will"
And that divinity, we did moi believe. would

People may say what they please about Jas.
X. Polk, IN reference TO his course generally
as President ofIhe United States; but they can.
moi deny that he rewards his friends most mu.
nfcenuy. Not to speak of The $4,000 900
which caused so much talk just before his dis.
tinguiShed friend, Santa Anna, was passed into
Mexico TO bring about that peace, which, like
the spirits Of Gendower, wouldn't "come" a.
bout. just look at the generous regard he has
shown for the friends who stood by him in 1914
AT B lIimore, and procured his nomination for
The Presidency. ..

speech in The House Of Representatives on Fri.

1t was kind in Mr.. c., fellow .cilizen of Pre-.

this matter. Who knows what effect il might

Naiue Election,

The intelligence which We give below from
NJ aae, 10 cheering beyond our most sangulne
expectations. Dana, the present Locotoco
Governor oi Naipe. is defeated beyond doubt.
la I39 towns which we gave below, his net
los, is 6s6. compared with the vote of 1916,
when he fell nearly five thousand votes below
an election Although il does not make quite
rs favorable a show of Loco losses as would
CO nparlson with las, years vote, when Dana
Vas elected by the people, yet 1t IS better
test. The vote of last year was very light

Lrlcst ever thrOwn 10 the State
ihree Wing Senators are elected IN Ken
nebec, by large majority. Probably the
|. eos are chosen In Oxford and Waldo. 1t Is
rol certain that any others are elected.
The Wings have gained quite a number of
Representatives buI It IS GOt probable that
they have chosen enough 10 give them the
c0nirol of the House.
In Congressional vote we have done much
better even than in the Governors. In the list.
y strict. Cory, Loco, is most probably chosen
by much reduced plurality over the vote Of
1910.
In the 2d District, Lirtlefeld's plurality is
brt 7G9--a net Wing gain since 1916 Of 52j.
Ia the third, Ous, Wing, is elected in spite
Of the double opposition Of both phases Of Lo-
coiocoism, by a majority but little 'uced
from the Wing majority two years ago.
Tho fourth, better known as the Comet
District, has done spendidy. John ID. NJ !
Crate is defeated. The glorious ani steadiast
Taylor Wings of old Lincoln have elected
Hon. Rufus X. Goodenow, s;aanch true
Wing by majority beyond the most sanguine
expectaIi)ns OF any one. This alone would
b, glory enough for one day, but this Is not all.
There is a large Whig gain both IN the sixth
anl seventh districts 1t is probable that
Washourn, Wing, IS elected IN the former
aad even possible that Downes has been cho-
son IN the latter The first has gained nearly
sayen hundred, and the latter nearly two hun.
