The result of the Baltimore election was made
kaewn 10 the readers Of the N'RaiSiaN yes'er-
dsv. A glorious victory was achieved by the
gallant Americans of the Monumental city
Thomas Swami. The American candidate for May
or,was elected over Mr.. Wright. the Democratic
candidate, BY the enormous majority of fifteen
hundred and fifty. As simple triumph Of one
candidate for municipal office over another the
election of Mr.. Swami is matter ot but ittie
consequence; bat as a stray showing whioh
way the wind blows, tits a matter OF great I'M
portance. 1t proves that Fillmore stock Is up
that the Fillmore fever is raging. and that The
great American heart is beating in unison with

Than was expected by the most sangune; and as
one consequence the State Of Maryland may be
put down positively for Fillmore. Had the demo

the party throughout the State 10 the widest en
thusiasm and most powerful efforts for Buchnn-

American party in an equally great ration But
