Expiring Kicks.-Upon Saturday /

Expiring Kicks.-Upon Saturday last
our citizens were made justly indignant by a
most unwarranable proceeding on the part of
some of the friends OF the defeated McComas
The fair Mac fails to see how the people of the
Sixth Congressional District of Maryland
could so disregard his bright beauty as to
elect homely, honest, sensible old gentleman
to represent them in Congress; and doubling
the verdict of the people and the honesty of
the judges in rendering such verdict, the fair
Adonis deputized some half dozen OF the RAD
ical agonistes to pay us visit and demand
that the votes-although fairly and honestly
counted in public, and enc of the election
judges being a Republican, who testified to
the honest handling of the ballot-be re-
counted
We presume this demand could very prop
erly have been refused, but with great oblig-
ingness on the part of our county clerk. he
consented to again wade through the noun
tains of papers, which arduous task lasted
from about O'Clock A. NJ, till 8 o'clock p.
M. With we'll known characteristic Radical
tenacity the visitors held to the hope that
fraud and manipulation would be discovered
but with the exception of slight mistakes in
the first count Of several of the dislrcts-some
for and some against Mr.. Walsh, which was
CONCLUSIVE evidence that il was an honest
count-the final difference was only that of
two votes in favor of-Mr. Walsh
OF those gentlemen who composed this dep
ution, among whom were Urah Griffith.
Franklin Mace and Arthur S:abler, of this
county, we would ask, Does it not force the
blush of shame TO even your stceed and bra
zen faces 10 thus allow yourselves 10 be the
instruments TO force this indignlty upon peo-
pie amoag whom you reside and associate-to
Intimate that our party is, like your own,
capable of setting aside the honest vote and
returning false one2 We could but feel CON
tempt for you when we saw your gaze fixed
upon the fingers off the clerk, like The cat which
watches the every movement of its prey, as he
counted out the ballots. We could but re-
joice at your look of chagrn when the task
was completed. Verify, you came wool gath
ering and went home shorn.
