TOPICS OF THE WEEK.

As matter OF course, the Congress
slonal election, and things pertaining to
it, have been the all engrossing topics Of
conversation during the present week.
The rumors and reports from all parts Of
the county and Of the district, so fraught
with Importance prior TO Wednesday,
lost their interest on that day. The
time for denying mis-statements and
giving instructions was past, and the
day for personal action at home had
come. That day through with, and the
excitement of suspense was intense.
When the polls were closed here the
wings agreed they We're about forty be-
hind. They had held their own man
fully during the morning but a heavy
influx Of new voters bore them down in
the afternoon, The opposition claimed
fifty at the closing. When the votes
were counted out and majority Of 50
for Mccullough announced, it struck
panic into the wing ranks, and caused
the locos 10 make many ridiculous dem
onstrations of joy. They shouted and
ran wildly through the streets, while
some of the wings went very quietly to
bed. Directly the returns from Fair
Hill came in with only III for McC.
which moderated the enthusiasm Of his
friends considerably--oth districts
quickly followed, and the prospects of
Evans began to grow lighter. When
the cars came in from Baltimore, show
ing whig loss in Hartford, the locos
again spurred up, and during the night
they were in the ascendent.
So it remained until the stage from
Chestrrtown came the next morning,
bringing $50 from Kent for Evans, and
IS from Cecilton. Wing stock instant
ly rose to premium, and whenthe cars
came from Wilmington at II o'clock,
bringing telegraphic despatch that
Mccullough had but 8 in Hartford, the
locolocos absquatulated as rapidly as
did the wings the night before.
At Il O'clock on Thursday, we start
ed an express with the returns from
Hartford and Cecil to the counties below.
At II O'Clock at night it returned, bring
ing 55 from Queen Annes and IA from
Caroline as the reported ,Ina,orties in
those counties for Evans. This made

Our whg friends throughout the coun
ty will observe that notwithstanding the
tremendous exertions of our opponents,
their hundred majority in the county,
and the smallness Of the vote on We'd
nesday, Mccullough has but 81 MAORI
ty in the county. A full vote and he
would have been beaten. There will
be a full vote in November and there is
fine prospect for our ticket then. Our
advice to our candidates is to be dill
gent and active and all will be we'll.
