Opinions Relative to the nec u S. Senator
FRIEND BkNNErr-


The whig members held causus last night, and
Reverdy Johnson, of the Bank OF Maryland me-
mory, Is to be the whig United States Senator for
the State of Maryland, in the place of the Hon
Mr. Merrick, whose term of office expires on the
4h OF March next This movement (mark me y
decides the fate of the whig party in this State
they never can after this fragrant outrage, hope to
carry the State In Baltimore, Johnson's native
city, he cannot. nor could not at any tme COM
nand the votes OF one third of the wing party His
connection with the Bank of Maryland, which gave
rise to the mob of a2-his re cklessness OF private
character, his bitter and violent attacks on Henry
Clay during the Jackson dynasty, all conspired to
render him the most unpopular man in the State
The Eastern Shore, which has always been whig
o the core, and Ito whose aid Pratt, the present
wing Governor, is nde bted for his election are bit
ery opposed'to the Johnson clique, and will "kIck
the traces" before another csm mpaign commences
Thus have the interests Of the wing parry of this
State been sacrificed to reward violent partizan,
who cannot command the respect of the citizens
of his own city, much less of the State. M
Mark my prediction (it will be as truly verified
as yours regarding the late Presidential contest)-
the fate of the whg party in the State OF Maryland
is sealed. In haste,


WHIG THE OLD SCHOOL,
