BALTIMORE, Sept. s, lS49.
You will receive, along with this, most glorious
news from the Green mountain State. Vermont
has rolled up Wing majority that reminds one
of 1910. She has elected Meacham to represent the
district made vacant by the resignation of Marsh,
appointed to a foreign mission. She has returned
decided Wing majority to both branches of the
Legislature, and probably, for the first time in
many years, elected her Governor at the polls.
This is altogether worthy of the star that never
sets'
If Maryland will now do her duty, the Admins
tration will have fair working majority in the
next national House of Representatives. She ,DiH
do it. more gallant set of Wings Vermont en-
cepted) does not exist in the Union. They know
the Importance of the approaching contest; and l
am assured that every man is grding on his whole
armor.
They not only feel the Importance of maintaining
their party ascendency at home, but they feel that
the caste of the next House Of Representatives rests
with them. 1t is no ordinary responsibility, and
they will act under its force. In this view of things
they cannot they will not, permit dissension in
activity to creep into their ranks Yea they dare not
do it. They dare not incur the odium that would
attach to an act so suicidal to themselves, and
overwhelming in its consequences to the great ma
tional interests that hang upon the result of this
election. Take it for granted then, that the "Mary
land Blues will be true to themselves and their
country, they have ever been in the hour of
peril.
