THE ELECTION IN MARYLAND.
We should be guilty of disingenuoiisneea if we
wore to denr that Ilia results of the alectiona
Ihtoiilhnullho Stale of Maryland have greatly
disappointed us, and that the strength obtained
by the Whirs, both in Congrese and the Legis
lature, ha, fallen far short of onr expectation,.
I returns from a number of the counties
el the Whigs regarded Ibe contest with
sates Indilflronco than we were lad to
M] would do, and that, on the ether
v onr opponents were enirnaled by a seal
. inspiration, no matter whence it comes,
ally the forerunner of victoty. This is
t to account for the defeats we have met
the counties, and it would be uselers tu
.j Anther.
But the truth compels ns to aay that, as far as
Ibis Congressional district was concerned,there
waa no lack of energy and activity. The dia.
eensiona which prevailed aoieug us nt the lime
of die nomination were all apparently lioalsd,
and the patty appeared, at least, to be thorough.

though it falls aomaw hat short or what it should
have been, making a fair allowance for the natu-
ral increase of the voting population. Out,
whilst we have thus a little more than maintain,
ed our atrangth. our adversaries have increased
theirs more than five hundred votes. They have
gained, without proselyting from us, eiaept tu
a very small extent. How have they accom
plished this!
We are perfectly aware that explanations
of the mode by which a political cor.test has
been lust are generally recti red with ridicule
by one perty. end with incredulity by the other.
Dill there are circntustarices in the present
ease which it it proper people ebroirl.who have
looked with heps end confidence to at, ilmuld
bo apprized of, end which go > greet way to
explain why we, who have claimed end atilt
claim to liave e majority of tho honest lagal vt/i

or a currupt connivance mi tin part of ■ ma

posed to aay lithe present stogo of our infer-
inalien on this subject is that we believe the
Registers actually did give to Ibis portion of die
lew a construction obviously at war with iu
spirit and intent. Thai they did in in somoof
the words we hive no hesitation in saying.
When in tid of this (of iieolf sufficient)
cause of our defeat we adduce tho fact diet ihe
operation! of our opponenu woro sustained by
an amount of money never eqalled but once
before in the elections of ibis di.iric-, neither
our friends abroad nor at homo ought to fail
much surprise at the issue. ...
We over that Urge amounts of money were
upended by oar opponenu iu the oanvtei, and
that n portion of it woe derived from Ihe contri.
buttons or the office holders under Ihe Slate
and Federal Governments. This is not denied
by any gentleman of the least pritensions to
veracity an Ibe other side, and is, iudecd, a fact
or univerial notoriety. Upon this occasion die
levy took e wide range. II even reached, as
■as Hraoie, the bumble clerks of the post office.
What waa Ihe amount contributed, we cannot
undertake, of course, to say. Thu it waa very
Urge cuniiet be doubled, when we consider die
Tastnnraberof officers, the Urge emoluments
of their stations, slid the viul character of the
contest. By many or them it was regarded,
not without reason, aa involving, to a coiisidart
able extent, their couiiiiiianci in office. The
election u over. Wo stale these facu with pen
fact calmness, end with the most solemn undde,
liberate conviction that whet we liavo said falls
•hart of rather than exceed, tha reality.
We luva no doubt that if we be answered et
all upon dtese heads, we shad bo Uuuted with
the inquiry whether it was not tho custom of
Whig office holders undet n Whig ndministrai
tion of the Suie Government to oontntiute to
tha supporter the,piny 41' would be equally din
ingenuous end fruitless for tie to deny thin was,
to some extent, the caie. But, wo contend that
it was never dreamed of unlit die office holders
under Ihe General Government catne to he ro>
gardod the common source for Ihe receipt of
moneys la sustain Ilia Administration. Until
that revolution in tho inode or regulating the
elections in the United Stales wee introduced,
under Ihe luilion of Mr. Van Buran, as Gener
al Jackson's chief adviser, the expenses of elect
tioin were borne hy the cttndid'ilsi. Now, it it
n fact, which wc do not think it worth while to

groat wealth can possibly xiistnin the expense of
n political campaign where the wealth of office
boldets is arrayed against them. He appeals in
such tt case to hit party, and they mntt either
support him or be defeated. Of die efiect upon

as possible, the Banks, (some of ih«n) gars
their credit to the iiierchAnts under the form nf
Boat Notes, payable four, or six. or eight months
ahead, hoping hy the time they arrived nt mr
turity that the pressure might become relaxed.
But this did nut afford the relief. The mar*
chant*, manufacturer* and mechanic*, were yet
sutfe ing. This suffering was not emtfined to
this city. New York felt it under all forms of
severity—ax iudeed did all our cities, and the
whitle count!v. *
What, under such circumstances was to be
dono! The Banks are just as good, and better,
and more solid, under a season of suspension,
as under its opposite. The obligation to pay
out specie, to bo taken out of the country, no
longer existing, their specie remaining secure in
their vaults, and the cause that forced to bus.
pend discounting, being temoved, a relief can
now bo extended to n suffering peeph, by r«i
lasing their orders fur curtails, as well as by
suitable aids through discounts.
But besides the foreign deniaud fur specie,the
recoin fires in New York and in ibis city hnve
made a call fur the relief of the sufferers, under
all their forms fur at least one million and n half
dollars. This is an addition te (lit prei ions
C tonsure. The calamity requited to be met—
■it ihe Hanks could not meet tliia additional
demand, except at the loss of just that much of
specie to tho country.
There is grout relief at tha bottom or this aits*
f iension. Let ihn people regard it in it# true
ighl, and it will bo every where applauded.
Tho means required for rebuilding uur burnt
districts, both here and ill New York, can now
be had—and this will be to set thousands of me*
chanica and working men to work, who must
otherwise have remained idle.
