ANOTHER WHIG VICTORY!
Maryland Whig by 2557 Majority!
“ Crow, Chapman, Crow.”

Notwithstanding Mr. Ritchie. but a few days
since, claimed Maryland as certain for Martin
Van Buren, she has thrown off all allegiance
to Loco-Focoieiii, and now ranks herself with
the hosts in other states who prefer Jeffersonian
Democracy to Van Buren Aristocracy.

We have only room to give a summary state-
ment of the result. The State Senate consists
of 21 members. 7 ofwhom are elected every two
years. Of Iliose whose time is not yet expired,
10 are Whigs and 4 Loco-Focus. Of the 7
Senators chosen this year. the Whigs have elect-
5, the Locos 2. The next Senate will stand:

Whigs. v ’ Locos.
15 - 6

The House of Delegates consists of 79 mem-

bers, which are classed as follows:
Whigs. Locos.
60 19

Whig majority on joint ballot. FIFTY!

By a table, published in the Baltimore Patriot
of Saturday evening last, the Whigs have 2557
majority on the popular vote ! Last year Loco-
Foeo majority 912. Whig gain 3467! O. K.

GEORGIA VICTORIOUS!
By Tuesday morning's paper, we have receiv-
ed the cheering news, that Georgia has been
visited by the Tornado. Returns have been
'received from 50 Counties, which give 5000
majority for the Whig Ticket, being a gain of
3505 since last year. As far as heard from the
Whig majority in the Legislature is 53! The
Whigs are carrying every thing before them,
even from Maine to Georgia !

 

N. HAVEN COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Vlfhigs of the county held a mass
Convention at New Haven on the 8th inst.
The day was pleasant, and the people as-
sembled in great ntirnbers. During the
morning, delegations were pouring in from
all quarters, with enlivening music and fly-

sion of great length was forined,which passed
through the principal streets of the city. It
was greeted in its progress by the smiles of
the ladies, the waving af banners and hand-
kerchiefs, and other tokens of favor. These
demonstrations were acknowledged by the
cheers of the delegates.

When the procession had returned to the
green, the convention was organized by ap-
pointingthe Hon. Samuel A. Eoot, of Chesh-
ire, President, and six Vice Presidents.-
Mr. Foot, after acknowledging the honor
conferred upon him, rriade some excellent re-
marks in allusion to the causes which had
called the meeting together.

William W. Boardman. Esq., then read
the Declaration of the People of the County
of New Haven, assembled in Convention,
October 8th, 1840, setting forth their attach-
ment to the constitution, their opposition to
Martin Van Buren for good and sufficient
reasons, and their determination to have
\Vm. Henry Harrison for their next President.

The Convention was then addressed by
the Hon. Philip Hone, and the Hon. Aaron
Clark, ex-Mayors of the city of N. York,
and the Hon. Ogden Hoffman, a member
of Congress, also from that city, and sever-
al Tippecanoe songs were sung with excel-
lent effect. The remarks of the above-named
gentlemen occupied the attention of the peo-
ple till 3 o'clock. They stated many strik-
ing facts relative to the misrule and corrup-
tion of the present administration, accompa-
nied by happy illustrations. VVhile they
were speaking, there could have lken no
less than 5000 or 6000 persons on the green,
about 1000 of whom were probably ladies.
At 3 o’clock the convention adjourned to
meet again in the evening.

There was a great display of barriers on
the occasion, some of which were very strik-
ing. Two of the number, in allusion to the
political changes in the towns to which they
belonged, at the election on Monday w ere
as follows viz:

" Derby, like Maine, has exhibited some
little eccentricity. 0. K. 58 majority.”

“ North Haven—no Haven for Loco Fo-
coism.”

A delegation from Hartford carried ban-
ners with ih'e‘fol"lewing inscriptions, viz:

“Executive'usurpation is notDemocracy."’
Reverse-“ The will of the People—-and not
the will of the President-—-the ‘Democracy
we believe in.”

“Liberty under the Law; at all events
Liberty—-Our Fathers left us Free—our ru-
lers shall not enslave us."’

“ The blessings of Government, like the
dews of Heaven. should fall equally on the
Rich and Poor.”

" Harrison and the Constitution, our watch-
word and our hope." Reverse—“ The Con-
stitution as understood by the e who framed it.”

The arrangments were a 1 well made, and
every thing passed off -to tht.>~g1't1tification
of the numerous assemblege.—Cou.iant.

The Convention.

The County Convention held at Bridgeport
on Monday last, was, we believe, fully equal to
the expectation of all, and far surpassed what
was looked for by many. The procession that
had its formation, in part, in this town, gathered
in extent like a rolling snow ball, as it moved
eastward, so.tliat when it passed through Fair-
field the number of carriages, which included
many 4liorse teams, amounted to450. It reach‘
ed Bridgeport about noon, and after taking a cir-
cuit through the city, the vcliicles were disposed
of, and a grand procession on foot, 4 abreast, was

formed of the general mass. This procession

also passed through the principal streets of the
city, which were decorated with flags. banners.
and various devices. and enlivened by an exhi-

bition ofbeauty. gaieiy, and approbation from
the fair sex, who seemed to crowd every door
and window, and even the tops of the houses,
that sent a thrill of satisfaction to every heart.
Ofthe extent oftliis procession we are unable to
speak, as no position could command a view of
the whole. The banners borne in the procession
were various, and many ingenious and laugha-
ble. \Ve are unable to do justice to the several
towns represented, on this point. The following
are among the ntimber which we had opportuni-
ty to take down.

New-Canaan.-Among the banners of New-
Canaan, was the trunk ofa tree, prostrate to the
earth, with its roots, as it were, twice plucked
up, and over it was the words, "‘ THE GREAT
OAK,"an allusion to a certain volatile politician
in that region, who had compared liitnselfto that
monarch ofthe eternal hills.

Another from the same place was a picture
ofa chanticleer on his back, in the elfortofcrow-
ing. while underneath were the words, “I
CAN’T.” -'

Greemi-2°ch to the Rescue.

Norwallc had a number of banners, among
which were the following: “ Nurwalk the Gib-
raltar of Fairfield County." On another, “ The
12th District always conquers. O. K.” On an-
otlicr, a head of Gen. Harrison. over which was
seen the proud bird of Liberty in the act of be-
decking the hero's brow with a chaplct, with the
words. “The People's Choice.” On another
was a head ofthe Magician, with the well known
sentiment entertained by him, “ The people
must take care ofthemselves,” with the response,
“ \Ve will i\latty." In another part ofthe pro-
cession might be seen an excellent miniature
Log Cabin, with the appropriate words, “ Nur-
sery of Liberty."

Fa2°'r_/i'.cld.—“ The Farmers of Fairfield will
support the Patriot Farmer."

Slratford.——“ Salt Hay Boys, but not Salt
River.”

Old Il’Illf0T(l.—“ No Sub-Treasiiry, no Stand-
ing Army, no Executive usurpaiions under the
name of Democracy.” On another banner she
pledged lierselffor 325 majority on the 2d of No-
vember.

Trumbull-“ Whig in "76, and VVhig in ’-10."
One ofthe most laughable affairs of the day
was an old dismantled hulk ofa frigate, with a
meagre crew of three boys in sailor dress, and
labeled “ The Constitution,” drawn by a skele-
ton ofa horse. in the last stage ofstziuiling resist-
ance to the claims of the carion crows. On his
side were the words, “ The Sub-Treasury.”
There were, many-otlier ingenious and hap-
py devices which we might give from memory,
but we lack the space to do so.

The number present were variously estimated.
butaccording to ourjudgment, they amounted to
between 5,000 and 6,000.

For further particulars, the organization Of
the Convention, &c. we are compelled, from the
lateness of the hour and the want ofspacc, to re-
fer the reader to otir next publication.

Boston and St. Loai's.—'I‘he enterprise of
connecting St. Louis (in Missouri,) with Bos-
ton, by a chain of rail roads, is going for-
ward with prospects of speedy accomplish-
ment. The whole line of the road is already
chartered. The distance from St. Louis to
Boston is about twelve hundred and seventy-
five miles. Of this will be completed the
next year from Boston to Bufliilo, five him-
drcd and thirty-five. iiiiles—in Ohio, on the
shore of Lake Erie, sixty-three miles—in
Michigan, near the south line, sixty-five
miles——-total, six hundred and sixtythreo
miles: making more than half the whole
distance, and embracing two-thirdsthe whole
expense. The works in the West are for the
present suspended by the want of funds, but
it is expected that operations will be resumed
at an early date. Here is enterprise exhib-
ed on as grand a scale as the wildest fancy
could have imagined. Ten years ago, a plan
to connect Boston with St. Louis would have
been regarded as visionary’ as ll. scheme to
bridge the Atlantic ocean. But a few more
years will witness the accomplislimentof the
project, and the extension of the. road, per-
haps. many miles westw-ard.——\Ve are not
surprised that the citizens of New York
manifest so much alarm at the rivalry of
Boston. She is rapidly extending her arms
into the great interior ofthe \Vest. A line
of steamers connects her with Europe, and a
population unsurpassed for intelligence and
enterprise will profit, to the utmost extent.
from the facilities which the inventions and
improvements of modern times lend to the
extension of commerce.-

POOR. MEN READ THIS!
Martin Van Buren, in the New York
Convention for amending the Constitution,
opposed the right of poor men to vote.
In the debate on thatquestion he used these
words 1
“But in/lat is the character of the poor!
