In the lid District Webster had no com.

whole constituency of his district upon the que,.
ton of Slavery, and what that is his course in
the last Congress shows. 1t was sympathetic
with Slavery and its domination in the country:
but as between Slavery and the Union, be woud

votes. He did not come up 20 the vote for La
coin, Douglas, and Bell, in Kent, Cecil and
Hartford, though he is Hartford man, but shot
far ahead Of them in Carroll, carrying of some 200
of the Breckenridge support. But the poll in this
district leaves some 5000 Breckenridge votes un-
cast, which may be safely set down as the egi-
dence of q sort of qualified rebellion, and which
the future success Of the Federal arms would
convert iuto constrained loyalty, bat which an
opposite result, if possible would harden into
open and confirmed hostility to the Federal Gov
ernment. There is scarcely aoy Slavery in Car,
roll County.
We now come to the Vtb, or Frank ThOmes's
District. composed OF the three Western Counties
of the State, and almost free from the curse Of
slave labor. He had no antagonist. He went
233 votes over the combined vote Of Lincoln,
Bell aud Douglas, but left an uncast vote of some
$500 which had been thrown for Breckenridge.
This large constituency cannot be set down as
the partisans OF rebellion for the sake OF the
Slave cause. Not one.tebth of them own any
slaves at oil, but they are strong party men, and
go with their party from the force OF habit. As
between the Union ard Slavery, most of them
would be found with the Union, If their votes
were needed. Gov Thomas may be said to re-
present the feelings OF most Of them upon the
Slavery question, as well as upon that Of the
Union though in regard to the latter they can
hardly be said to have reached the fighting
point.
The With District is composed OF seven 10 tensely
Pro-Saysry counties, and the prejudlces of the

institution aud its supremacy, not only in th'
State, but in the United Statea. Howar'
Montgomery Counties are less 50 than the or,
but enough so to render hopeless hitherto the
election of anybody to Congress but thorough
Pro-Slsvery representative. 1t will be seen that
the total vote of June last falls short OF the

Of the vote for Breckiuridge. LABS. The ex-
animation of the vote 10 the several counties Of
this district will discover some curious results,
illustrative of the sympathy whs;;oin the people Of
these counties hs"o wth the rebellion. Harris
was on undisgUi.ed Secessionst. while Calvert q
large stakeholder aud ueal descendant of Lord
Baltimore was not only tor the Union. but for
the preservation of Slavery intact. His position
alone would be sufficient to force him to surren-
der the Union 10 the demands of the Slave
po ser if the exigeGcy should present itself.
To sum up there were cast in the whols
State, at the .Iure election, AZ 403 votes for the
six Union candidates and 2i,706 for the four Sc
cession or Rebel candidates. leaving a mejority OF
l. 697 for the Union, but if the votes for Breck-
iuridge thrown last fall ia the Second and Fifth
Districts, be counted AT 5000 each in favor OF
Secession, then toe majority for Union will be
reduced to 7,697, that is the Rebel sentiment ia
the State Of Mary!acd will be represented by
81 7OG votes, and tie Union sentiment by AZ. .4O3.
The coming election FOR Governor, Judges, and
Members OF the Legislature, will be hotiy con-
tested upon the platform OF unconditional Union
ism, and if the righ. men are put up for these
places, there can he no doubt of a signal Union
triumph, provided, always, that the Federal arms
shall contiauc to march On TO victory over the
rebellion.
