From the Frederick (Md.) Examiner.
The Campaign.

The candidates OF the two parties, both for Con
eress and the House OF Delegates, are now noIni-
mated and fairly before the people, and the cam
paien for the fall elections, may be considered as
commenced Ii becomes every Wing, therefore, TO
rally 10 his standard and do his duty at this in
terestng and eyentful crisis, the result OF the
election in this Congressional district may deter
mine the political complexion of the next House OF
Representatives, ESQ nearly equal the parties
al present divided in that body, and the result OF
the election in this county, the political character
of the next Legislature of Maryland Ihese con
siderations should be sufficient TO stimulate .he
Wings TO the most Jealous and united EFFORTS III Dc
half Of their candidates, and excite the iNeiss' IN
terest for their success.
A Wing majority in the House oil heprcsenla-

of affairs and without il General Taylor's Admin

by the factious spirit OF the opposition' ana pre-
vented from carrying out those great measures oil
national policy by which the prosperity OF the
country may be secured and advanced, and the
blessings of peace be preserved. This Congress

voters who contributed TO place him in that high
and responsible position viii now desert him, and
render him incapable of accomplishing the great
objects for which he elected. He has done no
thing forfeit the energetic support OF his friends
but on the contrary, his course has been of char
acter TO command their increased confidence. A

Locofoco press because he has removed set OF I'M
IN ithful or incompetent officers, and put In their
pates men of his political principles although
Il nov appears that the whole number OF Wings yet

broader sweep ought, and iciH be made. we thlnk,
indeed that since the huge defalcations that have
been brought to light by some OF tne remova s.

however, we do not think that the outcry VIII Or
calculated TO lose friends, but, on the contrary
will bind them still stronger to the Administration

If General Taylor is properly sustained by TN
