From the Annapolis Republican

The PRooF WANrEp.-The Baltimore
Argus, says; "Tha! story is in circula-
ton amang the Galphins, (meanlag the
Whigs,) 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 Truh Teller, 10
give the public the proof Although
members Of Mr. loves party, have Pla
ced weapons in The hands OF his political
opponents, they dlsdain 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 lfhe did not apologize?
We have never heard the Governor
say aught against Mr.. Lowe, and we do
not believe, any wing ever circulated
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.

now wishes to force the people to elect
him hut we think Mr.. Lowe will meet
with the fate OF certain candidate for
Congress in Virginia, about whom an old
politician used to tell US a good joke.
There was certain Seth Thompson nom
mated by Lis party in democratic dis
trict Seth had been in the State Legs
lature before, and imagined himself most
wonderful stump speaker. So nothing
would do but he must 90 into every coun-
ty, district town and village to display be-
fore the admring democracy his astound-
ing eloquence. One day he got into a
meeting Of sober headed, sound-think'ng,
honest farmers, and began to blaze away.
Who he exclaimed, at the top of his
voice and with the proper theatrical ges-
ticula:ions, who voted 10 give you the
road from such place to such meeting
house, and then, with the same voice and
gesture he replied, Seth Thompson And
so he went on asking who did this and
who did that, always replying himself,
Seth Thompson. The old farmers at first
began 10 turn and twist about on their
seats, at last utterly disguised at the Speak
er, one old fellow rose and said. "Who
is the d--dest fool in Virginia? ~ another
across the way replied, s'Se,h Thompson p
This cut short Mr.. Seth Thompson's Flo
quence, who soon sloped. Those farmers
OF Virginia told Mr.. Seth Thompson
through the ballot box that he could not
represent them.-Se will the people Of
Maryland tell Mr.. Enoch Louis Lowe tina,
he can't be their next Governor.

VIs there any Whtg in Maryland
who does not desire the election of VIM.
B. CLARKE, the Wing candidate for Co.
vernon? Is there any thing in the public
or private history OF MIR. Clarke, to which
any WING can object? These are qu-s-
tions which we desire to be well consd-
cred by the Wings of Mary land, and then
responded 10. 1.-THE Wing party wishes
10 maintain lis ascendancy i'll the State,
and to see Wing principles predominant
in its councils, it Is only necessary for
them TO unite and their wish IS accom-
pllshed. II, on The other hand, they are
indifferent as to which policy, Wing or
Loco, is to rule, al,i sotlstied that Dem
ocrat shall be chosen to sit at the helm Of
State, then vote against Mr.. Clarke. But,
We know that this is not the case; every
good Wing earnestly desires the sue cess
of Wing principles.-ColoneI Clarke, than
whom purer and Stauncher Wing Mary
land has not within her borders, has been
chosen as the Wing candidate. For SIX
years he has served IN the Senate of Mary
land, and his speeches and votes are ia
miIiar 10 all. AS "a Wing he has never
swrrved; as candidate he has never been
defeated; as Marylander, he has never
failed to stand up manfully for her
welfare and her honor; why then should
one Wing be found in Maryland. who will
not vote for him? II he shall receive the
Wing vote he will be elected by three
thousand majority. We ask the wings OF
Maryland to ponder well these things.

Very little has transpired at San Fran
cisco since the middle Of last month, wor-
thy Of special notice. The feature most
to be noted is the energy with which i'm
provements are pushed ahead in all parts
of the burnt district Many business hou-
ses are already In operation, and many
more are up ready to be occupied IN a
few days. The general stagn,tion OF
business resulting from the fire is fast
giving place TO more cheering condl-
ton.
But little is doing IN the mines. The
water in the rivers and large gulches are
yet too high. and in the small ravines
too little, tor successful operations.
This difficulty will soon be rem-died,
as the waters are falling rapidly. With
the exception Of a number Of frightful
murders committed IN the Southern
mines, we hear Of but very little dlstur-
bance throughout the whole mining re-
gion.
immigration is pouring into the coun-
try through San Francisco, as rapidly as
ever.
The people are anx,ously awaiting the
final action of Congress upon the question
OF their reception.
The discovery Of gold in Oregon Is
confirmed, and people everywhere are

tains large quantities OF platina, and is
said 10 be Of richer character.

Lowe has been brought before the people
by miserable clique IN Frederick, COM

Is 1t known to every body here, that the
Convention that appointed delegates to
meet the Baltimore Convention was a
packed Convention, and that they viola

by passing resolution to tie up the hands
OF the delegates, BY instructlng them to
vote for Lowe. and no one but Lowe

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 tar the most proper. There
is in Mr.. loves conduct an over anxiety
10 be his own trumreter, as If he thought
the people could not learn or comprehend
his surprising talents and services to them,
unIes, 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
upon the people Has Mr.. Lowe exhib-
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
j, certainly is in the chosen candidate Of
party, was even commenced before he
was nominated. For it is well known
that he went into different portions Of the
State to electioneer Tor the nomination;
and il in certain county he received a
re'uke from his political friends, 1t was
but what he deserved from the whole
State. Such conduct is unprecedented in
the political history OF Mary land; betrays
a want OF proper feelings OF delicacy, and
is the last resort of demagogues. In the
LANGUAGE of some OF his own party he frs,
forced himself into the nomination, and

Ike Portuguese government having de.
clined to atcpde to the demands OF the
American Minister, he has demanded his
passports, and advertised his house hold
furniture for sale. The American squad
ron had sailed for 1angiers. Mr.. Clay
intended to leave Lisbon on the 10Th.
The news of the death OF President Tay-
lor produced great sensation in England.
The leading journals devote much space
in reviewing his character. A large meet
ing Of American citizens assembled in
London, at which the American Minister,
Mr.. Lawrence, presided. Resolutions ex-
pressivs Of their sense Of the great loss
their country had sustained, and Of their
sympathy with his family were passed.
The political news Of England possess
es no feature of striking importance. In
Parliament the Ministry had sustained two
more defeats on their own measures, and
have abandoned the Jewish Emancipation
bill.
The Po,atoe blight is said to have ap-
psared both in England and Ireland,
which has created frmness IN the Corn

The hostile armies on land at last dates
were face to face, and as the King Of Dem
mark is strongly backed, there remains no
doubt a severe conflict will ensue.
Actual host,li,ies have been commenced
between Denmark and the Dutchies, the
latter having been declared by the former

suffered considerably.
MARKETs.-The Corn market was ac-

up about Cd per Dbl. on the quotations per

The papers Of Havana are filled with
the accounts OF the last days and death OF
Gen. Taylor, and the editors express
their regret for his sudden death in most
eloquent manner. There is not an ex-
preston in any Of the journals which

The cholera had vanished entirely, and
Cuba was blessed with perfect health.
The coffee crop had been slightly in-

ripe grass. The sugar cane was wonder
fully promising, and the crop will doubt

years. The tobacco was Furnishing, and
q rich harvest was looked for.

THE JERSEY PEACH CRoP.-It has been

but we are glad to learn that such is not
the case. A fair average crop may be
expected, and Of better quality than If
the wind had not reduced the number on

a gentle nan in Burlington county, on
Tuesday, bought 800 baskets Of PEACHES

basket holds about three picks.
