Polities in Maryland.
The Whigs have a fair chance of re
gaining their former ascendency in Mary- j
land at the approaching election, owing
to the terrible feuds which a short season
of success has engendered in the Demo
cratic party there. In Baltimore, novi
homines (political) carried the caucuses
for Congress and local oflicers. Where
upon, the wing of the party who (being
in the ascendent) have heretofore stickled
most vehemently for regular nominations,
are doing their best to bring about a Wa-1
terloo defeat of those who have usurped
their places through the operation of the
new system of selecting nominating
caucuses. This is the New York system.
That is: opening polls for a primary elec
tion. In New York, however, the system
has already degenerated into a worse one
than it was designed to remedy. Boot
heels and brickbats arc nearly always re
sorted to, to keep from the primary-elec
tion polls quiet and respectable citizens;
and when the bullies and rowdy ruffians
hired at so much a head to 44 carry the
ticket" on such occasions, find that even
with such appliances they are about to be
out-voted, they resort to the practice of
carrying off and breaking up or stripping
the ballot-boxes. These remarks are as
applicable to the manner in which nomi
nations are sought to be obtained by one
party, as by the other, in New York.
The introduction of the old stump system
of the South is the only cure for these
evils.
In Baltimore, the primary-election sys
tem being in its infancy, has not yet be
come corrupt; though, judging by the
criminations and recriminations passing
in the newspapers between the two wings,
there can be little doubt that they are
destined to become quite as corrupt there
in five y??r?, as In any other large city.
In the counties of Maryland there is a
severe struggle in progress bttween the
respective friends of Mitchell, Southron
Key, Col. George W. Hughes, and others,
candidate* for the gubernatorial nomina
tion, in which they have got to bandying
epithets and making all sorts of gross
charges against the favorite of the oppos
ing cliques. The spoils of the National
Administration having been nearly all
distributed, there can be little hope that
they will carry the State in the fall. So
much for the effects of a single victory!
Poor fellows, it appears to take but slight
success to turn their heads.
On the other hand, the late defeat of
the Whigs there has apparently entirely
reunited them, nerving them for the ap
proaching contest, and impressing upon
thsgr minds the better policy of unity of
action and the sacrifice of individual am
bition for their common cause. Under
such circumstances, the Democracy at a
distance may rest assured that there is
little hope that their Maryland brethren
will improve their late opportunities.
A Slight Mistake.?The Philadelphia
New was in error in saying yesterday
?< that the editors of the Washington Eve
mug Star are office-holders." We beg to
inform him that neither of them have any
connection with office, other than their
printing office. The News will do us a i
favor by correcting their mistake. The
reliability of the Washington news first!
appearing in the Star, is simply the result
of the industry with which it is gleaned,
and the experience which the gleaner has
had in the way of separating the wheat
from the chaff; not because the editors
are office-holders, as the News erroneously
alleges.
Thb Wiatuk*.?The Central Ameri
#>aniitb rains with which we have been
fforwlfld in thin quarter for many days past,
are begining to do more harm than good
for the fanners in this vicinity, making it
impossible to work late corn, which very
generally wants working aroung Wash
ington. So, al?o does it threaten to injure
the root crops, which should about this
rime be planted for winter stock feeding ;
few fanners within twenty miles of us
having yet planted them. Verily, it rained
last night as though all the parsons in
Connecticut were praying that it might
" rain so as to make all creation tprouel
tout."
Spirit of the Horning Fnu.
The Intelligencer seems anxious to nail
the Administration to the back of the
Union's views upon the Pacific Railroad
project, republishing the article on the
subject sometime since appearing in that
paper, with an intimation that it does so
in order io pin the Administration just
where the editor (of the Intclligcncer) de
sires to have them. The Intclligcncer
also republishes articles from the Union
and the Lancaster Intelligencer, explana
tory of what was recently thought to be
the misunderstanding between Mr. Bu
chanan and the Administration relative
to the English mission, which, by the by,
show that there really was no interrup
tion of harmony between them. The
same paper contains a letter from its
Paris correspondent; and another from B.
F. Isherwood, Esq., United States Naval
Engineer, in defence of the Princeton's
boilers, which were constructed under
his advice; and also various other papers
ol interest.
The Union officially announces the in
tended speedy departure of Don Calderon
de la Barca for Spain, to become Minister
of Foreign Affairs there. Mr. Calderon
will bear from Washington the regrets of
its inhabitants without distinction of party
or class. During the many years of his
official residence in Washington, he has
made no personal enemies, and has actu
ally succeeded in securing for his Gov
ernment through the universal kind regard
felt for him, a consideration in the popular
mind here, which is astonishing when one
reflects upon the character of its institu
tions. It will be long, we presume, ere
another despotic Government will have at
this point a representative so well calcu
lated as Mr. C. so favorably to impress
an American community.
The Union comes to us this morning
embracing a second powerful article upon
the Pacific railroad question. Having
previously disposed of the constitutional
question to his apparent satisfaction, the
editor approaches the other obstacles to
the scheme, which in his judgement are:
First?jealousies concerning the location,
with reference to its effect upon the value
of property through which it may run.
Second?danger to arise from sectional
jealousy to be manifested in considering
and deciding on the best possible route ;
and, last, the question of the manner in
which the Government shall aid the un
dertaking. That is; whether by con
structing it with money from the Treasu
ry, or by the applications of portions of
the public domain, and also whether it
shall be built by the Government, or by
a private company or companies to whom
the Government shall furnish means for
its construction. The Editor very proper
ly explains all these difficulties in detail,
and urges Congress to come next winter
to the consideration of the subjcct in such
a frame of mind, as will obviate them,
one and all, as far as possible.
The Republic emphatically endorses the
conduct of Captain Ingraham in the re
cent Costa affair, occurring in the harbor
of Smyrna. The same paper discusses
the wonderful progress of the Anglo-Sax
on race on the Pacific and its shores.
The Clipper deprecates the bad effects
of such squabbles as that lately raging in
Baltimore concerning " Blind Johnny."
The editor, in this short article, writes
evidently without the fear of the propri
etors in his mind's eye. It is Connolly's
own full of his generous and just senti
ments?rather than of the zealous and
jealous sectarianism which has so long
stained the columns of that paper.
The Sun discusses flogging in the Na
vy, congratulating the world that it has
been finally abolished in the American
service, and taking to itself credit for
in part bringing about this result.
IMPROVEMENT OK Tlffi CENTRE MARKET.
Much impatience is being manifested con
cerning the progress of the scheme for
the reconstruction of the Centre Market
House, which appears to lag, if public
opinion is correct. No other improve
ment is so much wanted in Washington
just now, the accommodations both for
buyers and sellers in that, our only ex
tensive market house, being poorer than
those afforded in the main market house
of any other city of the size of Washing
ton in the United States, we fancy. The
city has willed the proposed improvement
j with more unanimity than we ever be
fore saw manifested upon a question upou
which it was possible to divide. We
therefore say to the Councils?Gentle
men, do push this matter with as little
delay as possible.
(?7*We see by the Philadelphia Ledger
that David Paul Brown, the great Phila
delphia Abolitionist lawyer, has revived an
old charge of kidnapping a negro against
George F. Alberti, a noted slave catcher.

Death of a Naval Captain.?The Navy
Department has received official notilieation
of the death of Captain McCall, U. S. N.,
which took placo at Bordentown, New Jersey,
on the evening of the 31st ultimo. This death
promotes Commander Stribling to be a captain,
and Lieutenant Tilton to be a commander.
The Hon. Francis B. Cutting, M. C. elect
from New York, is in Washington.
The Hon. Geokgk Readb Riddle is here
also. We presume the visit of the latter is
connected with the prospective letting of the
construction of the Wilmington (Del.) Custom
House.
Dh. Hibbard, of New York city, a well
known influential Democratic politician in
that quarter, is in Washington. We should
not be at all surprised on learning that the
talented doctor has his eye on the Inspector
ship of Drugs for the port of New York, which
his ever been a bone of contention, as though,
like the coal agoncies for t!ie Navy Depart
ment, it affords emoluments unknown to the
law. The Treasury Department should cause
a thorough investigation into the history of
the administration of this particular office
from its origination.
The Sault St. Marib Land Office.?Jo
seph S. Wilson, Esq., Principal Clerk of Pri
vate Land Claims in the General Land Office
Bureau, who, for some weeks, has been in
Wisconsin righting the confusion there, has
returned to his post. He has overhauled the
whole business of that establishment, from
the first official act in 1848. Its affairs have
been placed in good order up to the 1st July,
1853. In the swamp selections alone, mora
than 15,000 location* were entered, and the
omissions in ?lxty-eight counties ?upplie4. It
strikes us (hat the Interior Department will
find it to the public Interest to keep some one
of th*> thoroughly competent employees of the
Land Oftce Bureau traveling and inspecting
the books and operations of the various Land
Offices over the country.

be blank agent (salary $1,200) t??? Lewellen
Washington, removed.
George Petre, clerk (salary $1,200) vicr G.
B. Harleston, transferred to the blank agency.
Proposed New Washington Papers.?Th?
story about the intended establishment of a
sort of Western and North-western Democratic
organ at this point, is all gammon. Dr. Ba
con, the gentleman spoken of as its editor, has
no fixed politics, and from his carccr, in con
nection with the New York Day Bnvi, he
would be the last man in the world who would
be selected to conduct a paper by the very
parties who, the papers insist, arc about to
instal him in such a position.
It may be that Mr. Philip Clayton, of (ioor
gia, now Sccond Auditor, may shortly spend
his own and somebody else's money in -'saving
the Union," in the newspaper way, at this
point. That Is, if it Is finally concluded to
dispense with his cervices in tke Treasury De
partment. Wc apprehend that the Adminis
tration wero originally strongly inclined to
retain him, as he has made an excellent of
ficer. But wo presume that if he prefers to
'?save the Union"?in consideration of the
fact thfkt it is just now on the very verge of
dissolution from the herculean labors to that
end of its enemies?to the work of protecting it
by a continued earnest discharge of his duties
as Second Auditor, it strikes us as more than
likely that the Administration will feel them
selves compelled to let him go; more especial
ly if he pleads the ''call" to this work, with
which he is said to be impressed.
The Secretary or Stath, we learn, will
return on Saturday from Berkley Springs.

the effect of the emotions, passions and
