DEAR R.-The political game has
commenced here in downright earnest,
and from present aspects such a cam
paisn as the one now opening we have
not seen before since the days OF Al.
The wing party-alive, active, rncreas-
ng-have begun 10 "wake up" and the
nearly equalIzed vote ofthe two parties
have given US hope Of better days in
future. The whole of the local cand-
dates of the wings with one exception,
perhaps-wIll sure y, certainly be elect
ed; because the party, formerly distract :
ed more here than IN any other dis
trict, are now united and in that
unity is an invincible, overpowering
"rim," which will strike powerfully on
some ears in November.
"The old Second" has the honor of
again presenting locofoco candidate
for the Legislature, | hear The pre-
sentation wejudge will be The beginning
and the end of the race; as his sercices
TO the State in days of yore will doubt
less be remembered by the rank and file
of the party. The honor, however, NAV
be in the race and not in the triumph;
and the distinguished delegates may have
SO judged when they balloted. "Speak-
ing of ballotings" reminds US of motion
made i'll the locofoco convention at this
place, last Saturday, by this same can
didate, which read thus: That each cam
didate for nomination pledge himself to
support the nominee OF the party:" and
in direct antagonism to this: That each
roter pledge himself to support his NOM
inee," made by another individual, pass.

be reconciled our wing mind could
not discover, but the "harmonious"
swallowed them both with few wrv

liking Of the party ~

Mn. Editor "A good deal of inter-
est has been gotten up here, within the
past few days IN regard to the "Maine
Law" question. Quite large meeting
was held in the NJ. E. Church, in this
place, on Monday evening last, which
was addressed by the Rev. Geo. +.
Adams OF Bait, and the Rev. p. Coomhr
of Philadelphia. The former occupying
the greater portion Of the evening in a
very able and interesting exposition OF
the princi Piles of the "AIaine Law" and
the absolute necessity of total prohlbi-
ton.
On the next day several OF our clti-
Zrns attended the mass meeting in
Nichols woods, where addresses were
again delivered by the above named
gentlemen. Each of whom occupied
about hours. From what can learn
there was large attendance from the
surrounding country and Il great deal OF
interest and zeal manifested on the sub
Iect, and the determination expressed by
large ma ority of the audience of wage
uncrasing war against old alcohol. In
fact understand that several important
resolutions were presented TO the meet
ing and passed by reclamation one OF
which pledged the individual members
OF the meeting to vote for no candidate
for the Legislature, who is not favorable
to a prohibi,ory law. say the resoIu-
tons are important, and SO they are, for
II carried out, as | am inclined to think
they will be by those who voted for
them, and by Others whom have heard
express themselves to the same effect;
they will have vast influence in the
result Of the coming election. The tive
parties are about making their rcSptc-
tive nominations; one has already, and
so the other will before this reaches
your readers; whether the nominations
made, or those about to be made, were
or will be made with reference to the
public feeling on the.Subjrct, time viii!
soon determine. Be that as it may, there
is spirit abroad on thi, subject that
will make itself both heard and felt.

The Nominations.

The Wing nominations are now COM
plrte-with the exception Of a few of
the district candidates and in the main,
ii strong and excellent ticket IS placed
before the voters of the county.
The convention at IIavre de Grace
nominated for Congress the Hon. John
Wethered of Baltimore county, who
Was once triumphantly elected from
that part Of the State under the old ar
rangement of districts. Mr.. Wrthered
is man of strong practical sense and
remarkably popular in his county; he is
sure toget hundreds of democratic votes
there, and expects to leave Carroll and
Baltimore counties even with DR.. Shower
Wien in Congress he made his mark
there as the champion of the farmers
and manufacturers Of this country. and
we shall take occasion to look up and
publish some of his speeches, to show to
onr readers something OF his quality.
lie will undoubtedly get great vote in
Cecil.
For the House OF Delegates we have
three candidates Of excellent sense and
excellent standing in the county. They
deserve a triumphant election at the
hands ofthe voters of the county, and
we conJure every wing to see to it that
they are fairly set before the people,
and their interests made the interests of
each responsible member of the party.
Haines, Scott and Craig, the candi-
dates for County Commissioner, are
faithful, capable and popular men.
The business Of the county would sure.
1y be safe in their hands. There is a
very general opinion abroad that the
people Of the county owe it to them.
selves 20 make a change in the political
complexion of the Board of Commits
soners; this feeling, together with the
fitness and popularity of the candidates
presented by the VIII, :" Convention, will
in all probability, ensure their success.
Then, there is Jake Hyla.2d for Sher
i'll: Where is the whig who would
think Of opposing Jake Hyland Surely
no one will think OF it; while on tie
other hand he has hosts of friends
among the democracy. With the pros
poets now before HIM il seems certain
lle is to be our next Sheriff.
Mr.. Johnson is at present the County
Surveyor. He is faithful and efficient
officer, and will, no doubt, De elected as
triumphantly as before
Grail these candidates and of matters,
pertaining to national, state and county
affairs, we shall have much more 10 say
between now and the election.

CHANGE OF FoRruNE.-Samuel Bran
nan, of California, has an annual income
of $250,000. About nine years ago
Brannan, poor and panniess printer,
arrived at New York from the west. \
crownless hat and IA shabby suit OF cloth
rs were not very pre-possesing recon-
men1ations for the adyenturer. He was
shortly afterwards made editor of a
weekly paper. After acting as editor
for little more than year, he became
attacked with the glowing description
given OF California. Brannan succeed
ed in raising company Of emigrants,
and as their leader chartered a brig, and
Immediately sailed for the future Ell
Dorado. Two printers, IN Brannan's
employ, accompanied him, and are now
rich and influential citizens of Calllcr-
MIA. Such rapid rise from extreme
poverty TO great ahluence, as in Bran
mans case, is seldom recorded in history.
