MARYLAND ELECTION • trr Tb e Comas orestill hurraing and buasting over "their accidental triumph at the late election. and tho:e who are not familiar tl ith the politics of that state, mightauppose that the democratic party had been com pletely annihilated, or fowl vole over to the nvlArN. The fact is, that with all their ()uniting, the whip in Maryland are not as wrong now a s they were in. 1041. 'and their late temporary triumph has been goincil tole ly by the inlilTerence and carelessness of the ~ono'-rate. In diiaricting the state, the whigs lrld a mak.rity the Legislature and regulated it in such a tnanuer would ensure them an ea s y victory. 11)6 helped to defeat our friends but it would not have been sutftcient lithe democrats had only turned nut with the alacrity they did on former ucea‘ions. The vote in the Balti =ore district will be suTicisnat to altqw low little cause 'they hare to clai.n the late result as a favorable indi cation for their rouse.

This shows that 2,311 democrats who voted for the -I denaacratic candidate in 1341, did not attend the elec tion of 1844, and prove 4 that it they had. ths coons would have been defeated by en overwhelming maim i ty. It will be observed that there was a falling off of bat 13 votes on the whig that they had the* full strength at the rolls, while between two and three thousand democrats were absen•. They were thus en abled to elect their ticket. After spending months in the hardest kind of political labor, th , ygeined a Tic- Ivry by polling a satallrr vote than they did in 1841, hnt they have discoreyeti at thesame time that their strength is "growing w•rnkxrse" and that their sue cess is due solely to the carelessness of the democrats, and not to any increase of their owe str.•ngth. From the above table our friend; with see, that the democracy of Niaryllnd arc still oolong a•td firm, and when it is necessary for them to act on art occasion when the principle.* of the party are at stake, they have the power to lay whiggery pros; rate, and we feel confident that they have likewise the will to do it. CLAY'S PUPULARITY.-TO hear the whiz paper", talk, one would suppose that Henry Clay's election to Presidency was as certain as thot the election will 'come round. How they have arrived at this conviction puzzles us to ascertain, or in what Mr Clay's strength consists over and above that lie exhibited on former occasions, is equally a marvel. With no great and be. niftcent measure has his name been associated, since he was last before the country for its support—on the contrary his efforts have been chiefly directed to an overthrow of the admirable principle of our govern. sent, which makes each branch act as a check upon Alittother, and in which cmisists the chief hope of the people for the preservation of their liberties. Time .:pitertfine have the volers e•pressed their oppitisin to sasausurnoth monied institution. With a contempt for shalt wishes which is rarely witnessed, this man has .continued to urge the obnoxious measure upon the country, and has every time been frustrated. Has such conduct tended to enhance his popularity, or to make him all at once so great a fuvorite with the pee ple-as the whit presses would have us believe? Ho has participated in other matters whieh were by no insane calculated to elevate him in public esteem, or 'to 4 .' . his competency to guvern n moml anti intel . , 3.t people.

Mr. Phillips:—As my mutts ielnentionett In sem in the Democratic nomination fur Conless, and I have heard contraty rumors concerning my intim tht" on thispubject, you would oblige me byallowing a small space for some remarks. My name was suggested without previous conselte don with me, and without my knottliedge in any way. But after the publication in the papers, some of tny friends called on me, and asked me WI would permit my name to be used us a candidate. I stated that had no desire fur the office, and that other ' Democrats were named more generally known to the people; and who might better unite thewhole strength of the patty. But as the persons who called on me, were desirous that! would not withdraw, I stated that I did not and would not seek the nomination, but if. nominated, I should then, ns was customary with nominated candi dates, go before my fellow citizens, at their meetings, in ittivecncy of our principles. I wish now to say, that I have not, so fat as I recol lect, said or done any thing to change the above posi tion. As requested by my fiends, my name is in this manner before the Demnerots. 1 deem it not improper, however, to repeat that 1 am not of opin ion that my nomination would concentrate the strength of the party. as effectually as the nomination of some one of the other democrats who have been named.— There *ill, in all human probability, be, nt least, three tickets before the peoplo,—the Democratic, the Liber tv, and the union Whig tickets. I have no thought that I could obtain votes, at the eleetion, out of the democratic party. Although in heart and soul oppo sed to sloven v. and eagerly anxious by all constitution al means in destroy and utterly n4olish the traffic in human fleshiyet it i. well kneel' that I have never :le wd with tlie Liberty party politically; arid my radical anti bankism, and support of dm Sub Treasury system, preclude any expectation that -the members of the Op posing pa rtic..s would rtc.t their votes for tric. strength, thrrefore, could come only from the demo crnt s; and even many of them, tni- ' h t not give my nom ination a cordial support, since I do not hesitate to a vow. that if elected.
