SENATE OF MARYLAND

AT the election in Maryland, on Wednesday last,
in addition to Sherifs and Commissioners, seven Of
the Counties had to choose Senators to the State
Legislature to serve for six years, to supply va
cances occasioned by the expiration OF the term OF
service Of the former incumbents
OF the results of these Senatorial elections we
learn that, in Montgomery county, WILLIAM LIN
GAN GATHER (Whig) is reelected in Prince
Georges, JOHN d. BowLING is elected, being a
Whig gain; in Anne Arundel, EDWARD HAMMOND
is elected, and in Caroline Thomas TURNER, both
Democrats to succeed gentlemen of like politics.
The Other counties having to choose Senators
are Charlis, Somerset and Calvert. In Somerset
there was no opposition to JOHN H. Done, (Whig,)
and thereis no doubt that Charles county has re-
elected JUN MATTHEWS, also Wing. Calvert
county was last represented by Democrat, and it is
uncertain which party has now obtained the victory
The candh Hates are ALEXANDER SoMERvILLE w hg)
and DANIEL KENT, (Democrat.)
The Senate last year consisted of thirteen Wings
and eight Democrats. Ii the Democratic candidate
has been successful in Calvert county, it will now
stand fourteen Wings and seven Democrats.

A PROBLEM FOR TIM JNIoS" For some time
past the official organ hasppropristed almost daily
large space in its coluns 10 unfriendly structures
upon the amount of copensation received by &C.
neral Taylor for his mhary services. The good
sense OF the people wileadily discern one fact in
reference to this maltefto w.t. that all the money
received by the Gener has been paid to him by
the Government in stE conformity with the gen.
eral system of compilation to military officers.
The Union does not ptend that any part Of it has
been paid under the ine of extras, or in compli-
ance with special aspfations from the General.
Now, it is the duty ole Government to take care
that not dollar Of the pple's money is paid away
to any body unlawfullSr wrongfulls or without
an equivalent to the pcle in service of some kind.
Therefore, either Gen. AyLoR has been Justly en-
titled TO every dollar haas received, or the Gov
ernment has been gull of squanderng the peo-
po's money unlawfuly,d wrongfully. Now, the
largest rate Of compenson to General Taylor has
been awarded within tlerm Of Mr.. Polk's admin
istration; under that hinistration he has been
promoted to the highesank in the army of the
United States under { Administration his pay
and emoluments have beincreased from those of
colonel to those Of Tor general. If there is
any thing wrong about money, then the wrong
has been done by Mr.. ,lk's administration, and
for il that Administrators blameable before the
people.
The insinuated censuT the Union, therefore, is
a two-edged weapon, cSg more severely into the
vtals of the PRESIDENT his subordinates than
into those Of General Tor.
On the other hand, if Administration has done
no wrong in the premis the Union may as well
pre;ernit its attacks upGeneral Taylor on this
score.--N. L. Conn. .4Qfiser.
