The whig leaders fully appreciate the effect which the

by attempting to the impression that the decisive
victory achieved in Baltimore is due to local ques-

strength The returns show that the whg candi-
date for mayor received the full whig vots-and more

the recent elections. II designing men should attempt
TO make our journal instrumental in circulating
false information would hold il 10 be duty not
only 10 correct the error, but TO expose the from

We warn our readers against such arts. Ia Baltimore.
Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana have oyerthrown the
enemy The people with us, no matter how the facts
may be withheld BY designing men, One effort more
and the victory is complete
