1t will at once be seen by the above
figures that the division made, does not
approach an equal division Of the voters,
the object protested to be aimed at We
have not now statistics Of Baltimore city
and county in detail sufficient to make
some comparisons OF votes, which we
shall hereafter seek to do.
There are certain wrongs connected
with this division to which we shall
briefly alinde. Is was carried through
the Senate by an Eastern Shoreman-
MIR. Done Of.Somerset: and two whics ~
in the Senate voted for it-that same
Done and Mr.. George French CT WASH
ington county. Let us see who these
men are. Done is an Eastern Shore
man; he has seen the Eastern Shore,
which BY an original agreement was TO
have one third Of the legisature-the
Eastern Shore, whose interests are so
different from those Of Baltimore and
the Western counties, that she will ever
be liable to imposition from them
which has long been faithfully paving
burdonsomr taxes for their bpneht-he
has seen the Eastern Shore robbed by a
Humbag Convention of any effective
voice, in the Gen "a! Assembly, and he
helped to rob her. lie now lends his
vote to leave her with one Representa-
tive in Congress for Kent and Cecil,
Will nave no power in nominations, ex-
cept through the grace of bullying,
grasping Western Shorcman-thus he
votes to plumber the Eastern Shore,
overlooking the fact that the whig party
is b. the same vote robbed Of Con-
gresham. We therefore denounce John
Done as a traitor to the Eastern Shore
and traitor to the wing party who
elected him. Let him defend his course
as best he may.
And WHO'S George French? Defeat
ed by tie vote at the gene raj election,
when it was found that bis success
would make tie in the Senate, the
eyes Of the whole wing party in the
State We're turned towards him when
he again entered the contest, looking
to him as the 70 rIorn hope 10 keep loco
Iocoism in check. By extraordinary
efforts OF the whig party he was elected;
and mark the result. The first time
his vote was needed to sustain the whig
party from aggression; the first tune he
held the power to save or sell, he struck
an assassin blow and slew a wing Con-
gresham; ali assassin blow, for he did it
in>the dark; he kept his purpose con-
cealed--leSs maghanimous than the Vi
per, be struck without even a hiss to
VAIN WIS N!Ct!in. But II lneFe are any
degrees IN such treachery, he is even
less guilty than Done; true to his sec.
ton of the State, like genuine greedy
Western shoreman may always be ex-
pected to Go, he voted to 10 take from
the Eastern Shore and add to the West
while Done, like the basest OF all in
CRATES, proved traitor to bis home.

The MD. AND DEL. CANAL.-The Hill
to incorporate this canal company was
rejected by the House Of Delegates. The
canal contemplated by it was to run
from the Elk River, near this town, to
the thrstlana. 1t was different pro-
.lect entirel " from "The MARYLAND and
Delaware Ship Canal" which has been
chartered by the Legislature of this
State, but not bv Delaware. That is TO
cross below al some point not above the
SdNsatras river, and is TO be Of sufficient
dimensions TO PASS the largest class of
steamers. its charter was passed be-
fore the other was brought up: it was
then urged that if our LEGISLATURE were
to grant two charters, Delaware might
pass neIther-that it would afford her
legislature too fine an opportunity for
speculatlng-that if one canal was made
il should be the lower one, Cecil havin-
one already and two railroads, while
the lower counties on the shore had
nothing Of the kind. As some of the
lower counties entertain hope that the
canal may run far below the Sassafras,
they were governed BY this last conSid,
Grafton, and the ship canal beng mainly
gotten up by those interested in the
coal trade, the Western COUNTIES, as
matter OF course went against The 9TH
er.
