Mr.. Lowe In l8AO.

After Mr.. Lowe had concluded his
speech on Saturday last, he was about re-
firing from the crowd, when dissatisfied
Locofoco, struck with his bare.faced by
pocrisy, exclaimed, in no very low tone,
"Well he voted for Harrison and Lynch
for he don't deny it," This was bel.hed
right in the ear OF MIR. Lowe. What did
he do? He made straight "coat tail''
for his loom; but the chagrin and moItifi-
cation caused to himself, together with
the urgent appeals 10 deny the charge, he
was again forced on the stump, and thus
commenced :-"It has been charged that
/ voted for Gen. Harrison-I say it is a
lie It has been charged that l voted
against j. r. Mason-I say il is lie p
Ahem! well Mr.. Lowe says it is "le'
he didn't vote for Harrison or Lynch; tho
he admitted he made lule speeches for
HARRISON; that he became acquainted with
him travelling in the west, and thought in
supporting HIM he was doing right, bu.
since his nomination for Governor he has
discovered ssthat he was so ignorant that
he didn't know sand bank from rag
bank, that after he received his education
IN France and had returned home he didn't
know five dollar bank bill from five
feet sand bank"
As regards Mr.. Lowe denying that he
voted against Mr.. Mason, it is an evasion
to use his own language "lt Is l.e," for
we had Democratic authority that he did
vote against Mr.. Mason. The locofoeos
were the first that made the charge and
they can prove it:

From the Annapolis Republican

The PRooF WANrED.-The Baltimore
Argus, says: "Tha! story is in circula-
ton amang the Galphins, (meanlag the
Whgs,) that our present able, popular and
whole souled Democratic Governor, is
opposed 10 the election Of E. Louis Lowe
and that he is to be faund on the street
corners of Annapolis denouncing hun IN
strong terms"
That wings have circulated the story
we most emphatieally deny, ard chal-
lenge the Editor of the Truth Teller, TO
give the public the proof. Although
members of Mr.. loves party, have pla
ced weapons i'll the hands of his political
opponents, they dIsdain to use them.
Will the Editors Of the Argus answer one
question: Who was it, that wrote let
ter to Mr.. Lowe, advising him to horse
whip the Governor fine did not apologize?
We have never heard the Governor
say aught against Mr.. Lowe, and we do
not believe, any whig ever circulated a
report that he did, and therefore We con-
slider it unfair and dishonorable to charge
Wings with what they never conceived
or were concerned in.

Mr.. Lowe his own Trumpeter.

EVERY observer cannot but mark
the great contrast in the conduct OF the
candidates for the Gubernatorial char Of
Maryland; and every impartial observer
must confess that the course of the Wing
candidate is far the most proper. There
is in Mr.. loves conduct an over anxiety
10 be his own trumreter, as if he though,
the people could not learn or comprehend
his surprising talents and services to them,
unless he himself proclaimed them. Gus
tom has to certain extent sanctioned the
practice OF canvasslng the State by Guber-
material candidates; but then the modest
and really deserving man will 60 no far
Their than that custom requires; he will
rather shrink from than in.rude himself

tied any OF this modest and proper feeling!
we say not. He has been running in ev-
cry hole and corner to blow his own praise.
This course OF Mr. Lowe, 'eprehensible as
i, certainly is in the chosen candidate OF
a party, was even commenced before he
was nominated. For it is well known
that he went into different portions Of the
State to electioneer for the nomination;
and il in certain county he received a
rel uke from his political friends, It was
but what he deserved from the whole
State. Such conduct is unprecedented in
the political history OF Maryland; betrays
want OF proper feelings Of delicacy, and
is the last resort of demagegues. In the
language Of some OF his own party he first
forced himself into the nomination, and
