The same question arises betveen the

Gus, they would understand the justice
Of the clam more readily. We hold it
to be uusenerous, at the present time,
when th. white people of our lower
Counties have been rained by the sud.

slaves, b grudgc them the privilege Of
counting portion Of those late slaves
among their representative population.
Particularly is this so when We consid-
er that the present Constitution was
compellel to deny tothis people all hope
Of compensation from the State for the
many millions Of dollars thus wrested
from them 50 suddeolS and unfoelingly
by the Constitution of 1864. Not one
cent will thess hard used people ever

fate. The rebellion rendered the ex-

necessity; BUTT could have been eiiec-

of Carroll county, as Que a. the most
acceptable candidates that could ~

CARROLL.
We heartily second the above sug.
gestiou. Whilst Washington county
presents Col. james Hamilton, Balti-
more county Hon. John Wethcred,
Prince Georges Col 0den Bowie, aud
other portions of the State, we believe,
their deserved fayoritcs, Carroll county
may with equal propriety, aud in the
spirit of a generous competition, urge
the claims of her distinguished fellow
citizen, Col. John X. I.ongwell. None
eau doubt his peculiar fitness for the
station; whilst his strict attention to
economy in al things. evidenced by bis
course us a member Of the late Conyen-
ton, shows that the helm Of State could
not be entrusted at the present time in

Election In MaryIand.

The result Of the election in this
State, aud the adoption of the new Con-
stitutiou By SO large a majority CA, oO0)
exceeded our expectations. II could
have been easily made 10 exceed 30, 900,
as the vote was slim in counties where
there was little opposition. II shows
that our people decidedly condemn tho
Radical policy of the day; and sustains
our assertion that tho people of Mary
land can out-vote the Radical and Negro
vote combined. Congress may be as
surcd that tho present government Of
the State is based on the consent Of a
large majority Of the whole people, and
that the excuse for interference has
vanished. Every couaty has gone for
the Constitution. We owe an apology
to Frederick county for doubling her
success last week. az
