into. Africa and still feels or at least expresses per-
feet confidence ia his ability 10 carry large ma
jority Of his party with him. He is al present in
the Platte country and makes clean work Of it
wherever he goes. Il Is now said that he has
brought all the members of Congress TO his support
from this State but Greene and that the only reason
why he is kept off is, the Calhoun men have pro-
missed to run him the successor to Benton. The
Ieam Of the joke is, he is green enough to believe
them, when IN fact, if they should have the ma
jorly at the next session of the Legislature, they
would moi touch him with ten-foot pole. No such
contingency, however, will in my judgment hap
pen for have never entertained reasonable doubt
but what Benton would be reelected, unless his
prospects change radically for the worse from what
they are now.
You will have in the daily papers of this city,
this letter reaches you account of the murder
of Hart by Wise, who is clerk in the post Office
Hart was notorious and unprincipled libertine,
who had invaded and destroyed the domestic peace
Of Mr.. Wise. The fate the deceased in the end
met, is such as will generally be visited upon all
seducers, until our Iaw.givers provide adequate
remedies for an evil of so aggravated nature. But
so long as il is not enumerated as crime punisha-
bic by the criminal code Of the respective States
with the most rigid penalties fathers and husbands
will redress their wrongs in the manner that poor
Wise in fit Of despair and indescribable anguish
has done. Let the fate of Hart be warning to
others how they invade the sanctity of the domestic
circle. SPARTACUS.

First Congressional District Of Maryland.

Ii is unnecessary for me, Messrs. Editors, to say
to my fellow Wings Of this District, that never, in
the history OF our country, has II been more neces-
sary TO unite than al the present period. The
vauntIngs OF our opponents on the prospect of a
Democrutc minority IN The next Congress are al
ready reyerberaed, from the Jupiter ionans Of the
Union, through every hill and valley in our land ;
and speculation is already rife as TO the result of our
Congressional election. In our county two candi-
dates were prominently brought before the people
Both gentlemen are well known TO the Wing par
ty not only of the State but of the entire Union !;
and either could secure the undivided strength Of
the district. These gentlemen were brought before
our convention, which assembled at Upper Mar-
boro' few weeks since, and their respective
strength fully, fairly, and regularly tested
Col SEwAL, the chairman, made few brief al d
appropriate remarks, informing the voters that, as
this would be an election of the utmost importance
to the WHIG party TIN oughout the country, il was
the desire of those who had called him to the chair,
to ascertain, beyond doubt the choice Of the peo-
pie He felt no hesitation in declaring that the no.
minee of Prince Georges county would be the
candidate tor the distrlct and IL was therefore de-
srable that the voters should have every opportu-
nifty Of expressing their preference
Col. THos. r. BowIE then announced the
candidate of the Marlboro Wings; and, as the Sc
lection has been made, there is nothing nvidious IN
saying now that he is the only man that can carry
l~Dur county. III making TINS ueclarduon, 40 not
wish to be understood insinuating any fear Of a
Democratic triumph; desire merely TO say that
Col. Bowie has already so often Withdrawn his
claims to secure harmony in his party, that any
other nomination would have excited the most yio-
| lent opposition Should Col Bowie be the choice
of the District convention, a singular coincidence
will be illustrated He was the first and only Clay
Wing in our county who had the independence and
the foresight to respond to the last message Of Gov
ernor Pratt TO the legislature the subject Of the
then coming Presidential lection. Col. Bowie adj
vertised, called, and presided the first Taylor
meeting ever held in Meryand and he persevered
until he heard the welkin re-echo the shout Of mil
lions, "Hurra for Old ZACH This is the man we
want--a true WB,e, but no factionist. This is the
man we must have, to bring out all the strength OF
our Congressional district, to sustain the Admins.
traton of the Hero Of Buena Vista.

p. S.-Since the above was written Col Bowie
has received almost unanimous vote in Calvert
county, the entire delegation being pledged to sup
port him for Congress. So that Prince Georges has
now fair promise that the Congressional conven-
ton will respect her unanimous will in nominating
her favore.
