We observe from the Maryland papers that the
Wing State Convention have nominated Hon.
Richard ]. Bowie, of Montgomery county, foI
Governor, ]. Hanson Thomas, of Baltimore, fol
Comptroller, and James B. Rlcaud, of Kent CO.,
for Lottery Commissioner. The Patriot in speak
IN. of these nominations says:
The ticket, individually and collectively, de-
serves and must command the respect and conf

especially entitled to the support of every voter
who looks only 10 the good OF the State and the
lust administration of its affairs.
The gentlemen nominated all known by
y and i" EEeonTcraGy hen
facory to their constituents, the duties oil lmPor-
taHt public Stations to I'LL which t"ey H"'S OeS'
repeatedly elected.
MI Bowie has been often in the Legislature,
aud was n member of the last Congress. 10 his
course and position i'll both these boIleS' we may
tnumphanty refer, as evidence that ne mas guar
fcations for the discharge public duties, when
Will secure to him an influence and respect mat
will command the confidence OF all his associates.
The National lntellgencer thus years teSuuoHy
10 his merits.
Mr.. Bowie was a member of the last Congress
from the adjoining district of Maryland, and his ca
reer in that body was marked by ability, fidelity
and all gentlemanly bearing. He Is enlnentIy
fitted tor the new and responsible dignity for which
his political friends have presented him to his
fellow Citizens.
Here then, Wings orNaryland, you have man
nominated LOT your YOlGS us UONGIHOl Vi III
State who, in every relation, public and private,
deserves your most earnest support; and who Will,
i. elected, be to discharge the duties OF the
office uSefuIly to the State and honorably to him
self. See, then, that you give him an unanimous
vote, and that nothing is lett unuoneS winch your
obligations as citizens and voters imposes upon
you, TO make his election sure. So eXertlng your
selves and so voting on the day OF election, we
shall have, beyond all doubt, when the result IS
known, the proud satisfaction OF announcing that
RicharI l. Bowie the Governor elect OF Mary
land.
DR.. THOMAS, who is presented as the candidate
for State Comptroller, is so we'll known to our cltl-
Zens here, that nothing need be said of his emf
nent qualifications for the discharge of the duties
of this of1ice-one Of the most important and re-
sponSible under the Constitutional ensure for
him the earnest and enthusiastic support of the
Wings Of Baltimore, who name him but to praise.
He is now presented to the voters of the whole
State, TO their sufirageS; and we feel pride and
pleasure in knowing, that every inquiry they make
into his personal character and qualifications for
the discharge Of the duties of the Office, for which
he has been nominated, will be met by response
from all who know him, that must ensure to him
the votes OF ma orty of the people of the State.
And so with MI RICAUD, the candidate nominal
ted for Lottery Commissioner. He is a man, whom
but TO know is to respect, and who the more you
know of him the more you will like him. He has
repeatedly been in the Legislature, as represen-
tatlve from Kent county-and his whole course
There has ever been mar ed by the advocacy OF
that just and liberal of legislation that dis
tingushes ever the statesman and the patriot, and
the public officer, who merits and commands the
respect and confidence of the people.
such are the men whom the Wing Convention
lave presented to the voters of the State for their
auiIrageS at the election next November. AS Wings
wcmay all feel pr, I'D of the opportunity which is
thus given TO us of voting for them; and if elected
as we cannot doubt they will be-Maryland will
then have at the head of her government officers
who will tavorably compare with those OF any 9TH
er State. See 10 it, then, Wings of Maryland, that
your candidates are elected.
The Wings of Maryland seem determined to
stand their ground, and battle still for the National
principles which they have ever sustained, and
with such men as Bowie, Thomas and Rcaud pre-
scented tile sulmges of their fellow-ci citizens they
have every prospect of success.
