I MARYLAND ELECTION. The result of the election in Maryland S proved most glorious to the cause of cmocracy.

From the Danville Intcligencer. To the Tax Payers of Columbia county, The subject that agitates the country at this time is reform, and while others are reforming the Constitution for us, Jet us re form some of the evils that exist at home. we nave more tlian one evil tnat wo can remedy, without legislation, but there is none we can rcniedv that is so outrageous as the Pauper system. Every friend of the county'sliould. now he ready, with all his cilcrgies to assist to devise some measures to relievo Us ol this immense burden. Of the ill effects of the present system, I need say but little; every one knows the diffi culties attending it, to the poormasters of the umorent townships aim boroughs; the trouble of collecting the tax, and the trouble of looking after the Paupers taking a con siderable time, and costing the tax payers no tnllc, anil more, it encourages Pauper ism. IMany that are now township cliarccs Boats can neither go up nor down arc so because it is an easier way of getting t of water. There is no breach along 'than by their own exertions. , The Paupers generally arc insolent and lazy, abusing those who support them, and it they arc asked to do any little turn by those who are Keeping tnem they say you are paid lor keeping us anil we see you They, in most townships, cost a great deal to support them. 1 will venture the assertion that this town ship, (Mahoning) has -paid more poor tax tn the last twelve years than would buy a first rate farm. Look at the statement: tor 1824 the tax was $209 80 " 1825 101 12j " 1820 '383 47 " 1827 402 99 " 1828 5917.2 " '29 401 73 " '30 402 14 " '31- , 054 52 " '33 881 31 '34 421 01 " .'35 tJ09 17 " '36 900 00 Making the sum total $0,148 58 enough to make the tax payers look about lor the reason ol so much tax lor tins town ship alone. If each township in the coun ty paid as much tax in proportion as Ma honing the amount would be 88,170 12J. Tho interest of which, eacli year would be 5,21)0,20. II it continues what will become of us? What are wo to do? Is there no rem edy? Can we not avoid It? 1 answer yes, we can purchase a farm, build a poor house and set the Paupers to work; we have not only reason to teach us the plan is feasible, but experience. I have now before me a statement of the financial concerns of tho Berks County Poor House, which shows that the Paupers not only paid for their own keeping and sal tries ol all officers connected with the establishment, but the county had a clear income of up wards ol six hundred dollars horn their la bor. If then the Paupers can keep them selves in other counties, why not in our conntys 1 say they can; we have as good farms for them to work, and the produce of our farms command as good a price as those of any other county; lor Paupers can work as well as those ol any place else, and we have nothing Id lcar To the 1 ax payers ol the county it mat ters not a little; meet together in vour town ships atld discuss the subject, calculate the cost of the present system, and then the cost of keeping in a Poor House, take, the cost of keeping your own lamilies as a data, and satisfy yourselves, as to the goodness of the proposed measures. M. JACKSON MONEY. The shin plaster party, who havehrought about the present state of affairs, by their opposition to the measures, policy and ad vice olthc administration, and by their wild speculations and extravagant overtrading at tempt to give to ineir lavorue currency, pa per, the name ol Jackson monev; but the people know that Jackson always has pro veil himsclftobe in favor of specie, has cau tinned the people earnestly and repeatedly against an expanded paper circulation, and during his administration, by the measures he adopted, quadrupled the quantity of gold and silver in the country. With these lacts before them, the attempt of the shin plaster party to give tho name of Jackson money to tho only circulation, which, in consequence ol their conduct, lias neen leit to us, oniy serves to prove their utter recklessness and disregard of truth or popular opinion.

The law provides for the record of all nat- enis which have been issucdt whether the same have or have hot expired. Such re cord, it is believed, will be honorable to in ventors, & highly useful in the future man agement of the Patent Office. Arrange ments are accordingly made for recording all patents anew in this office; Expecting that persons holding patents will promptly comply with the law in this respect. It is hoped none will delay transmitting patents, ix-cnusu me invention may no uectneu un important. A copy of every patent issued is desirable, as 'the best means of preventing impositions. Many persons have already complied with the law, and their patents have been recorded and returned to them; and all who have omitted to forward their papers are requested to send them to this of fice by mail, without delay. In this mode, patents will be secured from infringement, and useful inventions perpetuated. Papers forwarded will be safely kept and speedily returned. Transfers or assignments of pa tents nro in like manner required to be re corded anew. Publishers of newspapers will promote the cause of science, as well as oblige their customers, by publishing the notice. HENRY L. ELLSWORTH, Commissioner of Patents. Forerunner of Famine.
