nee of the Wing Gubernatorial Conven-
ion is a citizen oil Washington county
He is gentleman OF fine talents and al
he present tune member OF the Mary
land Senate. The wings must prepare
themselves Tor the contest which will be
a very animated one.
From the Annapolis Republican,
II is with pleasure we place the name
Of William Beverly Clarke, at the head OF
our paper, where it shall remain until the
battle has been fought, lost and won. That
we VIZ will on the first " ednesLay of Oc-
tober next, with such gallant leader, win
the battle, we have not the least doubt
We have known Mr.. Clarke tor several
years, and it affords us pleasure to saw, a
more noble, frank and generous-hearted
man, Of better Wing does not live with
in the State OF Mary land, and the freemen
OF this State are determined TO elect him
Governor OF Maryland.
From the Cambridge Chronicle.
Mr.. Clarke il gentleman whose repu
taton is above reproach~-a politician
who has always been zealons and I'M
flinching whig, and whose labors in the
wing cause have been seen and felt
throughout the Senate. With such a
standard bearer, we should know no such
word as fail. Let our party be organi-
zed in every election district, and let US
press forward, all together, with deter
minatIon to conquer. Our opponents
will cling TO the las, to the spoils, since
hey no longer have hold on the Offices
Of the General Government; and they
will no doubt fight their hardest. But
the wings have the ability to beat them;
and if we fail in the coming contest, the
fault will lie at our own door. Then
let US not wait until the eve OF the cleo
ton to begin 10 work We should COM
mence now. Arouse then, fellow wings,
oil old Dorset, and prove yourselves wor
thy of the noble cause you have espou-
sed. Come forth in your might and
show to E. Louis Lowe that, before he
reaches, where "Old ocean washes the
Eastern Shore" he will be constrained
to cry out ''has the storm passed over
did the Lightning strike any body bu!
me :"
From the Easton Gazette.
Although we indus ed pers onal pref
erence for another. we cheertuly yield
that preference TO the will of the ma
jority. and shall give Mr.. G.. a cordial,
energetic and jealous support, knowing
him to be in every way qualified for the
important station to which W. doubt not
hp will be called by tn" voice of the pro
pie on the Cd day of October next. As
Mr.. Clarke is he choice ola majority OF
the " higs OF this county, We hope they
will feel it their duty as we'll as their
pleasure, to labor increasingly IN his be-
ba t, and Secure for him majority even
in this stronghold OF locoiocosm Dig
nifed. talented, energetic, sound and
consistent whig, with enlarged expert
ence in state affairs, Mr.. Clarke is emit
tied to receive the confidence and hearty
support OF every Wing in this county
and in the State, and command the re-
spect and esteem of his opponents. There
is every reason to believe that Mr. Clarke
will receive the united and entire Whig
vote of the State, and with it he is sure
OF an election

awe promptly place the name of Mr..
Clarke a the head OF our columns, and
from this day forward pledge him our
most ardent and Jealous support. We
have known him for some years persona!
ly, and we know there is not a more es-
Unable gentleman or lruer Wing in the
State OF Maryland. He has represented
the county of Washington in both bran-
chrs Of the Legislature, and is at present
an able and valuable member of the Sem
ate of the State. For the last eight or
ten years lie has occupied prominent
position in the political contest of Mary
land and has been invariably distinguish
ed for the untirng energy with which
he has fought the battles of the
Wing party. No man has done more
for the party in Western Maryland, and
it was chiefly by his influence and eff
forts that the county of Washington was
redeemed from the thraldom of the Dem
ocratic party. Mr.. Clarke isa gentle
man Of popular manners, winning ad-
dress and great kindness OF heart. In
avery respect he is worthy to fill the
distinguished position to which he has
been nominated by the Wings of Wary
land, and. when elected as we doubt
not he will be, will make an able, digni-
fled and impartial Chief Magistrate OF
the State. We call upon the Wings OF
Allegheny 10 rally to his standard, and
show their brethren elsewhere what
they can accomplish by union, energy,
and action"
