BALTIMORE MARKET.—nour last Friday, bro't •S 37i per brl, from the wagons. Wheat and other grain remain about the same as last .week's quotations. The election in this Congressional District has terminated in favor of the McCoy and Wolf party. This result was anticipated by all. The opposi, tion were divided between Mr. McSherry and Mr. Mahon. Mr. McSherry, through some misappre hension, for which wo believe blame can be imPu ted to no one, was withdrawn in Cumberland, Petry, and some parts of Franklin counties. 'rho re no tickets wore distributed for him. He was, however, supported in Adams county, unde - Fa those disadvantages, by most of those Anti-Masons who voted, and received nearly two to ono over McCoy. In this county, more than one hundred Anti. Masons voted for Mr. Mahon; thinking his chance the best against McCoy. We have gained N.,N4i i all we expected. We have demonstrated the en. •• ascendency of Anti-Masonry in Adams cowl : • t If the day had been fair, Mr. McSherry'S ni 'ority would have been at least 700.
