Maryland is always true; she never iallers

lions. us far as the returns are received, show
an increased aud decided Wing majority.
In Baltimore city, there we're FIVE candidates
for Sheriff in The field. The Democrats had
their regularly nominated candidate Mr.. Cloud,
but the Wings had none. OF the four indepen.
dent candidates, Messrs. Kane, Shut, and
Hance are Wings, and Mr.. Mitchell Demo.
cIat.
The result of the election is as follows:
Cloud. Kane. Mitchell. Shut. Hance.
s066 1919 2l20 597 500
MIR. Cloud is elected Sherif,-hs majority
over Kane, next highest, is l67.
This shows that the Wings have a large ma.
joriy in this city, and that there has been large
increase in the Wing vote, as the Democratic
majority at the last election was, we believe,
some twelve or thirteen hundred. From the
interior, as far as heard from, there are increas.
ed Wing majorities. The State is safe for "OId
Zack."
In Baltimore, after the polls were canvassed,
body Of Locofocos, without any provoculion,
made an outrageous attack on the Patriot office,
with stones &C., breaking many Of the windows
in that building, aud also in the Clipper office
and adjoining buildings.

The Geographic reports show that the Whig
candidates are successful in each of tie districts
now represented by Wings, being four mem.
bers, as follows: Thomas Butler King, Allen
4. Owens, Alexander II. Stephens, and Robert
Toombs. Mr.. Owens, takes the place Of Mr..
J. w. Jones, who was not a candidate for re-
election. This gives the Wings one.half the
Congressional delegation from the State. The
Democrats are certain oftwo members, Thomas
c. Hackelt and Howell Cobb, in the fifth and
sixth districts, and the other Two districts are
contested, but the Wings are nearly certain that
james S. Calhoun is elected in The Cd district
and not without strong hopes that Williamson

~ and 'lS.

-Four years ago il was the cherished and over.
ruling purpose Of large and eslimable portion
Of the American People 10 prevent the Exten.
sion of Slavery under the Flag of our Union.
TO effect this end, two opposite courses were
severaly recommended. The Wings insisted
that the only practical and effective course would
be to stand with the Wing party, TO mbue it as
strongly as possible with the Anti-Slavery spir-
it, aud to rely on tho declared views of its can.
dldale and the predominant sentiment of its
members TO prevent the consummation of the
Texas lniQuily. The "Liberty party" on the
other hand, insisted that this was alkempty and
lying protence-lhat the Wings were no more
hostile 10 Slavery Extension than their oppo.
nents-and that Texas was just us likely TO be
annexed if Clay us if Polk should be chosen
President More likely said James G. Birney;
but we do not think the mass Of his party was
so knavish as that.) Throughout the canvass
the "Libcry" candidates, journals and canvass.
ers rang the changes on the prcposlerous, the
glaring absurdity Of voting for Stakeholder in
order TO prevent The Extension of Slavery
They represented Mr.. Clay as the great oracle
and embodiment of the Slave Power, aud insis-
ted that his position was equivocal, his language
Jcsuilicol, his intentions clearly hostile and
that the only way to defeat the Annexatkn of
Texas wal TO vole(or James G. Birncy as Pres.
denI with The "Lbcrly" candidates for Cover.
Inor &c.
We earnestly resisted this train of argument,
believing it unsound. We were denounced as
recrodn Mt to Lbc'E. a willing tool of the Slave
Power, &c. &c., but all THAI muuered liuo.-
The main feature worth recalling is the event.
Sixty.odd thousand voters, nearly all of Them
really meaning to oppose Slavery Extension,
were induced 10 vote for Brney, whereby CLAY
was defeated, and Polk with Congress TO match
was chosen 10 rule the country. And the Glib

THE TWO PaDLAEsS.

One day, said Bay State pedler, as /
was driving along, Connecticut fellow
with load of tin came out of by-road, and
and followed right along in my tracks,
Mister" said /, J." which way are you 60
ing?"
F'Going ahead don't you see," said
he.
Yes" says l; I reckon we had better
take different roads, else one of us will not
sell any tin-what say you!"
Eyes, we will. You may go ahead and
sell all you can, and then I'll sell as much
again as your'
why, will you sell so much cheaper -
"No-rll get more for every article"
"Well, | don. see how You can do H."
Try it and III show you. I'll stop
here while YOU drive TO that house yonder,
and sell all YOU can. Start on your team
little, and then come back for something
you have dropped, and you can see how

Well" said !, so drove up to the
house and went in, and spoke to the old
gentleman, who was reading The newspaper.
" How do you do says |, but he dldn'
mind anything about me.
Want to buy any tin pans, pals, or
cups, or anything!"
No"
"IH sell cheap, and take almost any
thing in pay"
Don't want none"
But lust look at my lot it is the COM
pletest you ever saw.
Don't want to.
"Well, really wish | could sell you
something. You really think you cant

Betsey will expect them. But come, you

80 the old woman put on her specs, and
went ont with him to his wagon. He dug
to the bottom and hauled out some pans
and pals just like those on top. "Here
they are; keep them slowed away out of
sight; the genuine Lafayette tin come from
France. The more you use them the bright
er they grow : they never need securing"
" What is the price of these common
ones" said she, pointing to some just like
those he had in his hand.
Five shiIlings, and these ar, ten; the
Lafayette tin cost nine and sixpence; but
for that pretty girls sake. that looks so
much like you, they say, I'll let you have
few for seventeen shillings."
SO he went on talking till he sold her
more than five dollars worth of ware not
nigh as good as mine, at good deal higher
prices.
When he started on, says he, How
much did YOU sell -
None"
"Ah, you didn't come from Connecti-
cut?"

low voice, " and don't want to if they all

this grain is the difficulty with which tor
egners have been induced to adopt 1t as a
table companion. For fifty years the ex-
port thereof did not increase single kernel,
statement that most people will consider
rs fabulous, and yet ii is one OF those liked
facts from which there is 10 more escape,
than there is from death or quarter day
In 1871, period hiatus 90 ahead moderns
are apt 10 look upon rs the dark ages, the
export of this grain reached l,7l3,2l4 bu-

mine affected US, we exported S40,6G5 bu"
shells, and 100000 barrels of meal, show
ING decrease in 81 ycars,of $1,000 bush

mediltely after the potatoc rot began to
show itself, however, the immense power
of this grain to check starvation began TO be
apparent. In lS47 our exports ran up to
the unheard Of sum Of eighteen millions OF
bushels, an amount nearly equal to all we
had exported during the previous halt cen
turv-belng an increase on the year lo4o
of more than seventeen millions OF bushels,
or nearly two thousand per cent! An m
crease we think without a parallel IN the
history of commercial matters. But If the
effect Of the foreign demand ell our ships
ments was unprecedented, its effect on the
quantity cultivated is still more surprising.
This small foreign demand-small we mean
in comparison with our immense crops

the quantity of corn raised in this country
UPWARDS of four hundred millions of bush

mense advantage of small foreign demand,
not only on the price of our articles, but on
the production ofthose articles. Every ex>

quantity cultivated. Should Europe even
purchase two hundred millions Of bushels

up to three thousand millions of bushels.
