 An election for six members of Congress took place in Maryland on Wednesday last and the re- suit will cheer the hearts of the Wings in every section of the Union.

 THE WHIG CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE

 STATE OF MARYLAND TO THE WHIGs

 OF THE UNITED STATES

 FELLOW CITIZENS :-The State of Maryland has opened the political campaign ot 1874 by victory signal conclusive, as to warrant the State Gen. tral Committee in making it the subject of special address to their Whig brethren thro'out the Union. The Election by Districts for six members to repre- sent the State in the lower House of Congress took place on Wednesday, the 14th inst, and we have positive intelligence of the choice of the nOn,i- mated Whig candidate in every District. Mary land thus presents an undivided front. Her repre- sentaton in the House is entirely Whig. At the election in October she chose large majority of Whig members of the House of Delegates. All these results are deemed by the undersigned, and, they may add, are conceded by their political oppo- nents, to be conclusive to what the vote of the State will be at the Presidential election in Mo- vember next.

 All of the gentlemen elected are the decided friends of Mr. CLAY. They all prefer him before all living men as the next President of the Repub- lie. They all the open advocates of the Protec- tion of American Industry by the enactment of laws designed for that purpose and sufficient for it, and the people of Maryland choose them, knowingthe bold and frank avowal of such sentiments. The principles of the Whig party and its great leader were in the view of every voter he deposited his ballot, and the issue is the calm, solemn, and, we trust, reversible aucation of the points in dis pute, between the two parties by vast majority of the Freemen of the State. .t

 WHIGs OF THE OTHER STATES OF THE UNION

 It IS with proud eyultation that we apprize you of these suspicious results But it is not only for the purpose of invoking your congratulations that we address you. We desire to point to you the ex- ample we have set, and, with the aflectonate earn nestness which our political brotherhood warrants, to ask you to follow it. Before the close of the year upon which we have just entered, the most momentous political questions that have ever en- gagged the attention of the American people must be finally settled. The destiny of the Whig party and, what we consider the same thing-the destiny of our Republic-are involved in the election of 1sli Maryland has felt ill this contest the respon- sibilty of the position she occupied, and had both the laurels ofvictory fresh upon her brow and the broad and bright flag of HENRY CLAY waving in triumph throughout her borders.

 The undersigned avail themselves ofthis occasion to renew on behalf of their Whig brethren of Balt- more the tender of the hosptaities of the City to all who may wish to attend the great Convention to be held in this City in May next. No matter how numerous may be the attendance there will be room enough in the hearts and homes of the victorious Whigs of Baltimore for all.

 0rs-HoNoR TO rHBGALI.ANr WH1Gs OF MARY LAND! who have noHy started the ball for 1874 A clear Whig Delegation to Congress from that State is what carried by any party before. Maryland has for hall century been one of the most evenly balancedState in the Union, sometimes inclnng one way, tlen the other It has been ruled by Loco-Foco Governors steadily since 1888, had Legislature oflke faith last year; and often sent against us six tD two and five to three Mem- bers of Congress. Now ALL SIX are Whig! Even last fall, the Loco-Fcos figured up majority for themselves in the popular vote. Now they are routed by THOUSANDS! Clear the way for the grand sweep of 1914 ]! CoNNEcr1cUr comes next

 But the manner ofths triumph pleases us equal ly with the matter, There was no shuffng, no hesitation on our side, but the most eager determi- nation to make broad and plain issue. Protection for Protectton's sake--A National Currency-The Land Distribution-were proudly emblazoned on the Whis banners and flashed in the faces of their adversaries. Mr. KENNEDY took what tempori- gers is termed ultra' oround on the Tariff Gues-
