MARYLAND Election.

Congressman Elect.-Frankln wing, in the list,
Shower, dem, in the Cd, Yansant, dem, in the Sd.
May, dem, in the 4th, Hamilton, dem, in the 5,h,
and Sellers, wing, in the 9Th, district the returns
show in some eases, and in others indicate, are She
members of Congress elect. This is a democratic
gain Of two members.
Tile LegjsIatre.-T few returns received show
that the wings have gained Senator in Frederick
county; one in Anne Arundel and another IRE
portcd) in Queen Anne's. As there was a tie in
the last Senate, these gains ensure a whig prcpon-
derance in that body for the next two years
In the last House Of Delegates there were a
democrats and 80 wings. From the returns which
have reached us we learn that the wings have
gained delegates in Hartford, 2 in Talbot, il
Anne Arundel and 8 in Frederick, and have los
in Howard and in Cecil, leaving clear gain
Of 6 members, exclusive of the temperance
wings elected in this city. They only require
gain Of more to give them majority of the
House.
Tie Gopernor.-In 1850, the majority in the
State for Gov. Lowe was ,492. In the city, Mr.
Lyon will have an increase of about $50 votes OF
Gov. Loves majority. In Baltimore county, d.
far as ascertained, his majority is 344 greater thar
Loves. In Cecil, Hartford and Howard countic
it is also increased The democratic loss in Fred
erick county will probably reach goo, There i
also a slight democratic loss in Talbot.
P. Sit is reported that Ligon's majority il
Allegany county will reach over 700.

Correspondence Of the Mercury.

WAsHINGTON, Oct. 20, 1900
The political difficulties in New York are not as
well understood in the country as they should be.
The fact, that both wings of the Democratic par
ty there stand upon the same platform Of prlncI-
pies, shows plainly that the faction which is now
assailine the President, and his Administration,
are mpelled in their course by another motive,
than IA regard for correct principles.
1t will be recollected that both sections Of the
party there cordially unite under Governor MARCY,
in, 50 and, 81; and during the late canvass that
union was still maintained in good faith. Mr.
MARCY was elected alike by Mr.. DICKINSON and
his friends, and b. the other portion OF the party
as the leader of the united Democracy, because
they both knew that he would carry it out with
sincerity and honesty Of purpose, and with I'M
Welding courage. But before Governor MARCT,
would consent to accept the leadership, he ex-
pressly stipulated, that the VAN buren, wing
should abandon their nefarous Buffalo Convention
doctrines and assume a national position. Whilst
that union was consummating. Mr.. MARCY IN
1850 wrote a letter to one of the prominent lead
ers, in which he says: ''For myself | not only
acquiesce in the law Fugitive Slave law, which
was the point of contention, Gas II IS but should
regret to see any efforts made ''to change OF
modify it, because in its objects it satisfies the
South and does no more than fairly subserve the
objects intended" The Barn burners accepted
these views, and endorsed the Baltimore platform
fugitive slave law and all, and still do so, as lately
evinced in their course at Syracuse.

are important. The formidable phalanX which il

pass over them without knowing they are there.
Persons who desire to find them provide them
selves with harpoon which they plunge into the

Monks New MAP.-We have no personal ac-
quaintance with the publishers of this very hand
some and valuable map, nor any pecuniary interest
in it, and may therefore have full credit for all we
say in its praise. In one word then, the more we
study it, the more highly we value it, for while
the map on Mercator,s Projection, which it in
cludes, affords all necessary information respect
ing the world atlarge, and the relation of every
past of it to ourselves the Great Map displays all
that portion of the globe in which We as nation
are more Immediately interested, on a sceale OF
grandeur and perspicuity never before attained
Whether considered as map or chart, it is one
of great and peculiar eXcellence-we say peculiar
because the other maps mutilated the country
which this map gives in all its integrity, and all on
the same scale, so that right conception can be
formed of the whole, and of every part This we
feel to be one feature that gives this map pre-
eminence over all others. but it is only one among
many thatwe could specify, had we either time OF
room.

1--WE can tell the Atlas what the President, Mr.

namely, THAT WE EMPRESS THEIR OPINION ON THIS
SUBJECT EXACTLY; and we have AUTAoRITY be-
yond SUPERSTITION for so declaring
There is no misunderstanding this language 1t
lis exactly what every man who knows the unalter-
able purpose of the whole administration was pre-
pared to exact it is the language which the Pres
dent and every member of his cabinet have uni
formly and unhesitatingly declared on all occa-
sionS. They wage war of determination upon
abolitlonism and factious dsorg anizaton, looking
to the preservation of the Baltimore platform as
duty to be discharged at all hazards
