calm. but in n singularly kind and

had something on his mind to tell me.

Tne Hon. Alexander Evans.

The ability and faithfuness which has mark
ed the coarse Of Mr.. Evans in Congress, has
gathered 10 him many friends beside the great
majority which elected him. We have been,
from time to time, spoken and written to in re-
gard to his denomination, but have as yet made
no reference to it. We have taken it for granted
that his great popularity, which is not only un-
waning but increasing, would ensure him the
nomination. as il would--even in these times Of
more than common peril to wing candidates
ensure his triumphant election. Below is the
first union CT voices we have had touching the
matter. 1t will be seen from the names, that
party politics is overlooked in the matter.
At the close of the Election held at Fair Hill,
the following Resolution was adopted by the Of
fcers Of the said election, viz:
Respirrd That with view to protect the In
dustry four Country from the ruinous COMPETE
ton with foreign manufacturers, to which we
are now exposed and to insure to ourselves an
efficient representation in Congress, we will
use our most strenuous efforts to re-elcct our
present distinguished and faithful representative,
the Hon. Alexander Evans, and that we recon-
mend his reelection TO the friends of American
Industry throughout this Congressional District.

The Election-Trial of The Cosden Murderers-
Crops in Reat-1he Locusis.
CHLs1ERTowN, June 4, 1851.
P. c. RICKETTS,, Esa,-Dear Sir:-The cleo
ton has closed here; whole number of votes
BIZ; majority against the new Constitution SO;
not so large, | believe, as was generally en-
pected.
There has been no court to-day. It's expect
ed that the trial of the persons charged with par
ticipation in the Cosden Massacre, will COM
mence tomorrow morning. The prisoners were
brought into Court yesterday morning. Richard
Aynson, Esq, was assigned as Counsel for Rob-
erts, and Hon. J. A. Pearce for Taylor, Shelton,
and Murphy. Taylor will be put upon trial
first, and there seems to be no doubt of the con-
viction of him and Shelton.
The trial Of these cases was expected to come
on lust week and the town was we'll filled.
There will be general rush tomorrow, and the
Court House will not hold half the visitors anx-
ious to hear the trials. 1t is generally thought
that Murphy will move his trial to Cecil. If
the usual questions are asked, there will be
great difficulty in emrunnelling jury; few men
can be found who have not formed and express
ed an opinion as to the guilt of the parties.
There have been no cases of general interest yet
before the Court.
Corn is small but stands WE'LL and looks thrift
ty. The wheat fields, with very few exceptions,
promise heavy yield, and oats look WE'LL The
prospect at present for the farmers is very good
in this county, and there are some chaps here
