MR. CLARKE AND MT,. LOWE.
The Wing Triumph.

wednesday last was great day for the
Wings Of old Dorset The GubprratorlaI
candidates We're present and addressed
their fellow citizens, and the result was
a great triumph Tor the Wing candidate.
MIR. Lowe opened the dis, usslon and in
lew minutes alter he had commenced,
disappointment was strongly marked on
every counlenance. His party Tor a
while seemed to realize little aid and
comf"r, from he effort of their candidate.
But when Col. Clarke arose 10 address
the meeting, the Wing fire OF old Dorset
broke forth in '.thr-e times three" for the
nominee ofthe Wing convention. And
Will did that nominee sustain himself. -
He proved by the Journal OF the House
Of Delegates, the very test his opponent
called for, that h. was better retorm+r
than his opponent, and laid down his plat
form OF reform. Although, as he Justly
remarked, a Governor will have no more
to do with reform convention than the
humbles' citizen OF our State, yet to show
that he was friend OF the masses, he
gave gave his views as an individual in
regard to reform issues which were hon
estly entertained, and which claimed the
admiration OF nearly every man present.
Not even Mr.. Lowe could find any OBJ
lection to them, and notwi,hst anding the
effort OF the party press TO denouncr Mr..
Clarke, oil the suhjec. of reform, the
hig candidate proved conclusively to
every impartial ard candid mind that
practically, he is better reiormer than
Enoch Louis Lowe.
Mr. Lowe started out with the idea
that the Governor had grsat deal to do
with the subject of reform and hunted that
tn Executive would exercise control
ling Influence ever the convention, an
idea that MIR. Clarke emphat,raIy repu-
dated and distinctly stated that he would
never think of influencing an independent
representatives, Of the people. Mr. Clarke s
IS the doctrine of the great Wing party,
il is the doctrine OF true republicanism-
he doctrine of the people. Again, to
the surprise of almost every one, Mr.
Lowe exhumed that band OF locoloco
martyrs the glorious nineteen. He
eulogls:d them to the skies, and SAID they
were the arst ones to put the ball Of re-

Tho Election for Governor.

Our accounts from all parts Of the State
are highly encouraging. There was Il
meeting in Frederick last week, which
was addressed by Mr.. Clarke, the Wing
candidate, who produced the most tavora-
bic impression. There had been an al
tempt made to get up report, that VIM.
Cost johnson and the other Wings who
run on the Er,on ticket in that county
TOR the Constitutional Convention. would
iaIter III their support OF Mr. Clarke, and
that the Wings who voted Tor them would
be lukewarm in his support Mr. Johr-
son, as those who know him, as we do,
might feel all confidence, took the oppor-
tunty at this meeting to put himself right
before the people. He attended it, and
made strong and effective spe, CD in ia
vor of the election of Mr.. Clarke. Our
friends from all the Western counties as
sure US that they will give good account
of themselves m Oc,obcr.-We have
equally encouraging news from the other
counties of the Western Shore, and all the
signs are favorable from the Eastern
Shore.
The election for the members of the
CONSTITUTIONS Convention being now
over, the attention OF the people should
be turned TO the election for Governor,
which takes place on the first Wednesday
of October, the Cd. If the Wings Of II"
State do their du'y-that is, if they exert
themselves as the occasion requires, and
should all vote we shall elect a Wing
nj phan ti,k
Governor, VIM. p. Clarke, man whose
political and private life, commends him
to the support OF all who admire consis-
tency, purity, and manly sincerity.

The Wing candidate for Governor of
Maryland, will be elected, if h. Isc~ivrs
the undivided support Of the Whrg partv.
Now, W. ask every Wing in the tate to
review the past If" public and private. of
Major Clarke, and lei him il he can find
anything there to induce him to withhold
his support. AS Wing, who has purs,.-
ed more thorough, manly and consistent
course than hea Has he ever faielrd !,

contests Of 40, IA, and 'as. William Is.
Clarke bore conspicuous part, ta.,lns
with all the energies he possessed tor the
triumph OF those principles winch Nlarv-
land Wings hold as dear as life. Ia lis
own county, where once the Wing party
was largely IN minority, his services
have been appreciated, he has never been
beaten; his political friends love him; his
opponents respect him. Major Clarke is
nnexcePlonable to the Wing party. His
public acts Maryland Wings approve. md
to such man as our candidate, no Wing
can reasonably object.
We take it for granted that the Wings
Of Maryland want Wig Governor. If
they do, it is in their power TO get one.
But to do it, Wings must vote for their
candidate, and not Join 10 with our oppo-
nents in the slang OF "Clique canj,dair'

MONTGOMERY PRlzE HAM.-Mr. Ma
than White, of Montgomery county, Ma
ryland, gives The following asthe recipe
by which the prize ham at the late Fair
was cured. ...s.a
"The pork should be perfectly cold be-
fore being cut up. The hams should be
sailed with bloom salt, with portion of
red pepper, and about a gill molasses to
each ham. Let them remain in salt five
weeks, then hang them up, and smoke
with hickory wood for FIVE or SIX weeks.
About the first of April take them down
and wet them with cold water, and let
them be well rubbed with unleached ash
es. Let them remain in bulk for several
days, and then rang them in the lott
again for use.' a-.
To combat ones passions is the severest
contest, but to conquer ones self is the
handsomest victory.
