MARYLAND
On Thursday last the Know. Nothings were quite
confident that they had carried Maryland, on the
popular vote, by majority of nine thousand This
assumed majority has suddenly dwindled down to
four thousand, with the prospect of further reduc-
tons. The democrats haye elected Stewart in the
first congressional district and Bowie in the sixth
The third district in dispute, and if right prevails
Hon. Mr.. VanSant will receive the certificate of cleo
ton. The Baltimore Republican of Friday evening"
says y:{t. 80, .o., D....o a. H.
trict lin 1859 was 1854 The gains for Harris in
the county gave him 80 majority in the district If
the vote in the Sd ward is thrown account of
81 ballots being found in the balot-box more than
there were names registered on the poll-books, Mr.
Vansant will be elected by near 200 majority.
If MIR. Vansant should obtain the seat to which
he appears to be fairly entitled, the delegation in
the next Congress from Maryland will stand as fol-
lows:
LIST District, James A. Stewart Democrat
I'd &c James B. Rcaud, Know-Nothing
Sd &c Joshua Vansant, Democrat.
4th &c Ii. W. Davis, Know-Nothing.
9th &C H. w. Hoffman, Know Nothing.
9th &c z. +. Bowie, Anti Know Nothing.
In regard to the complexion of the Legislature
the Republican says.
1.-The returns of the election of Wednesday
not sufficiently full to furnish any reliable result as
to the Senatorial vote; but it is evident that ne
Their of the three partes-Whig, Democrat, or Know
Nothing-wil have majority in the Senate. The
know-Nothing majority in the house will probably
give them majority on joint ballot"

The SECREsY ABoLIsuED.-The X. Ms no longer have
any secrets, but we don't know who abolished them
They don't tell US by what power they were abo-
ished. Did they send over to the Pope and get alb
solution from their oaths? Ifso, they have nantes
ted allegiance to that potcntate not compatible
with their allegiance to their own government If
they just took back what they had said, and swore
they said it, then they have assumed to them
selves papal powers, and ought to be closely watch
ed, lest they conspire against the government. Will
not some of them tell US about it 1t looks ugly,
and they ought to clear it up if they can and if
they can't, why they will look ugier. Were the
oaths they took limited to any particular time? If
so, to what time? Were they conditional? If SO,
what were the conditions? Will the Star and Reg
lister tell us? The secresy is all abolished and we
hope they will enlghten the people generally. And
don't forget to tell who the delegates to the
Convention here last month-who drafted the reso
lutions-who presided over the mectng-who are
the delegates the State and National Conventions
and who were sent to Cincinnati to meet their North
ern brethren the 21s Of this month to take steps
for the repeal of the Nebraska bill and the restora
ton of the Missouri compromise. Now that the
secresy all abolished shall certainly be told all
about it. {" They say" they have nothing to conceal
and surely " they are honorable men,"
