Political Movements.
Another political campaign approaches the
time is drawing nigh in which The Wing in
common with the Other political papers in our !
State must begin the autumn warfare. The
Election Of November is an important one;
Il Governor is TO be chosen; Comptroller Oft the
Treasury, Commissioner Of Public Works, Con-
gres>nrn Members Of the House of Dclrgates
(and the House has to determine the politics of
a U. s. Senator to be clectcd;) Sheriff; Codnty
Commissioners; ConslahIcS: magistrates; Road
Supervisors; all thcse-perhaps others--tor it
is difficult 10 think Of all on the instant. in these
days Of such multiplicity of elective officers
are TO be elected.
AS yet the Wings are remarkably quiet, but
the Democracy is moying-briskIy moving in
some quarters; in some sections fence and ram
pant. We gave sample few weeks ago, Of
the way they are down on each other in BaIti-
more city--there they seemed to be more abu-
sive than pugnaciouS; whereas in Annapolis,
few days ago, the latter quality predomi-
mated, and during fight between the Hughes
men and the Key men, Key man was knocked
sprawIing on the gtound. This is taken as
sign of the times, Indicative Of the strength OF
the friends of Col. Hughes. Hughes and Key,
our readers will remember, are gubernatoral
candidates.
In the matter Of tho Congressional battle
some steps have. also been taken; all On the loco
toco side, as lar US this District is concerned.
A number of candidates have been named,
among them three from this county, and the I'M
preston here runs that a Cecil man will even
tualy he pfcr9HeA on-against his will, Of
couGse-to accept the nomination, to mite The
party. And judging from the signs, some kind
of uniting process will be necessary. See, for
example, the following card, which appears in
thcadveriising columns OF Inc Baltimore COuniy

We sial, wait for the solution of the inter.

in tn" ranks of the Democracy. We notice
that The State Democratic Committee recon-
mend that the Congressional convention for
this District be held at Havre de Grace, on the
30ih day of August.
The preliminary steps towards nominating
Gubernalolal candidate have already been
taken by the Democracy. The several districts

members of the Legislature, are to hold State
convention in Baltimore on Thursday, the first
of September, 10 determine some party matters,
at which, we suppose. a State ticket will be
nominated. 1t is time the preliminary steps
were taken to form that Convention. 1t is also
growing 30 be time, that county convention
for other purposes was called.
in regard to this Congressional District,
correspondent Of The Hartord Ga>eiie speaks
as follows:
"Iau kno, when we was down thar
with the Legislator that everlasting last
winter, and hepeople thort weed niver
get home agln; what a time we had, and
what a monstrus heep to do Well,
besides other things, as you kno, we
just had to turn to work. and fix this
here State of ours into Congressional
districts all over agin. Cause if we
didn't, weed have no Congress at all,
and than some Of our folks would be
mItely disappointed, and the General
Government too. And so we did, to
the very best Of our natural skill and
Judgment.
After thinking it all over in our minds
We turst thort of just dividing off Balti-
more town and county, into s equal
parts; and than as you kno, lacking
slice onto every one of them to thar
districts, to make them all come lite,
and the population TO count even; and
than ever single one Of them would have
some town and county alike in them, al
the same time. THIS we thort was the
most natural, and the best way OF dong
it. But on looking over the map of this
here State of ours, we saw that it niver
would do. 1t would make them all
look kind of bad, and nifty much Top.
