The trial Of John Price, for the murder OF George
w. Campbell, will take place at Annapolis next
week; and i. is understood that Attorney General
Richardson will prosecute the case, so that there

clear him.
The number Of wing candidates for the vacant
seat in the United States Senate is daily increas-
ing, and are also pressing their claims with re-
newed energy. The first choice of the Court
House cliqus'' is Ex-Governor Thomas G.. Pratt,
who will be opposed by the other chques merely
because he belongs to the before mentioned clique.
II was TO hisindomitable energy and perseverance,,
however, whilst governor, that the revenue laws,
which have raised the State from bankruptcy, were
introduced and passed; and he therefore possesses
personal popularity, outside Of the influence of
all cques, which will carry him through. There
is no doubt Of his election and there is also no
doubt that, IL he elected, the wing party ia Mary
land go far as leaders are concerned, will be vlr
tually dlsbanded. Whether this will be for the
benefit OF injury Of the aforesaid party canno, now
be decided
