MARYLAND.
BALTlMoRE.-"Io may put down MARYLAND
certainly for Scott and Graham from 1000 and
upwards majority. A residence in this city for
more than fifty years enables me to speak with
great confidence as 10 the accuracy of my state
ment"
/ liAGERsTowN.-"Our German population are
with us generally, and many OF them are active
politicians, and work nobIy in the good cause.
] have no doubt that Gen. Scott will get Tay-
lor's ma jority at least in this county tr0 hun
dred and fifty four; and some think he will 90
above it. Let every place do as well as this
county and no Wing need despair.
RocKv1LLE-"You may look for good re-
turns from old Montgomery; and do not be sur
prsed if Scott's majority is SO or 100 beyond
Clay or TayIor's in "A or 48
OHIO.
STUBENvILLE.-"NVe expect tell a good
story after the election for on FUSS and Fea-
thers.
New L1sBoN.-"Tou may put Ohio down as
safe for Scott and Graham beyond all peradyen-
ture. The Wings were never more united, nor
did a better spirit prevail amongst them at any
time in the last ten years. 1t is perfectly absurd
to suppose that Western men will support Mr..
Pierce, who when in Congress voted against
every measure in which they were Immediately
interested"
CoLUMBUs--"Reports and estimates from 80
counties showa gain Of y, 800 over l848 They
are, we think, mostly reliable If such should
prove to be the case, We must carry the State
by 10000 majority"
CLEvELAND-"On my way here | became
acquainted with a number of Ohio men. The
Wings express themselves with great assurance
with regard to the result. They are in high
spirits and confident of success. Mr.. B. told
me to write that we knO,o we shal carry Ohio,
ILLINOIS,
CHICAGO.-"Every thing in our State is work
ing thus far to our satisfaction. think that
Douglas, instead of speaking in % States, will
find as much as he can do to attend to his
own"
CHICAGo.-"Ihe prospect of carrying the
State for Scott increases as the efforts to do so
are made; and the confidence manifested that
such thing is in our power, if we only work
for it, increases every day. Unless something
disastrous occurs, my individual opinion is that
we shall do so upon very large Wing vote ~
very small ma jority. We feel confident of
Washburne's election, and we expect to carry
the Sd and 9TH districts, with good chance for
the I'd, 4th, 9Th and 7th; that is an even chance.
if the ground is properly debated"
WISCONSIN.
MILwAUKEE.-"The campaign begins to pro-
mise well. Our Wings are quietly but actively
at work. We shall improve every where upon
the vote of lS49'
PENNSYLVANIA.
CARBON CoUNTY.--"I confidently believe that
we shall be able to reduce the Locofoco mao-
rity two or three hundred in this county"
ScHUYLK1LL CoUNTY.-"Ffteen hundred
ma jority will not be too high figure for our
county"
BRADFORD CoUNTY.-"The Democratic ma
jority in this county usually ranges from 500 to
700. We reduced this in 1874 in favor of Mr..
Clay to about 800. | think we shall do full as
well for Gen. Scott If other counties stand as
fair, have no apprehensions as to the result in
Pennsylvania. In no county in the State, nor
in the Union, does there reside more sturdy,
reliable set of Wings than in Bradford en-
tertain no fear that they will dscredit the repu-
tatlon they gained in 1914 of giving the largest
increased vote for Henry Clay in the State and
for carrying the county for Taylor in 1882
MISSISSIPPI.
CoLUMBUs.--"We are working manfullv in |
Mississippi, and even have hopes of carrying
the State. We feel confident of SCOTS elec- |
tion."
INDIANA.
VINCENNEs-"Gen. Scott is marching on the
capitol! We are certainly gaining ground, and |
cannot hear of our losing anywhere in the State |
About here we will get more foreigners to vote |
for Gen. Scott, than we ever got for any Whig
President"
CONNECTICUT.
New Haven't find the state of things
here, all could desire. The utmost enthusi.
ssm prevails, and strong confidence is felt in
he ability of the Wings to carry the State"
WAREHOUSE Po1NT.--'Thngs look well for
Scottin Old Connecticut. They are getting the
steam well up, and the Wings in the other parts
If the Union may rely upon this State as sure
or Scott and Graham.
NEW YORK.
SENECA FALLs.-"I am perfectly satisfied that
We shall carry this State by large majority.
Things never looked as well in this section of
he State as now, not even in 1910. The Loco
'ame of brag is about out, and the reaction is
tremendous. You NAV set this State down for
Scott and Graham and no mistake
The Way they Enecute Criminals in China.
"A correspondent gives an account of the

words, commenced choppng their heads off
