Extracts of a letter from a gentleman in Calvert county, to his friend in this city.
"I was not sanguine of the success of the Republican Ticket in this county, till a few days ago.—I have had occasion to pass through the different parts of the county, and have been at a number of the public meetings—and so far as my observation and information extend, (which I think are as good as any person's) I am satisfied the Republican Ticket will succeed by a handsome majority; unless the consciousness of their superior strength should cause them to relax in their efforts.—Every day adds strength to the good cause, by some honest Federalist coming over to our ranks.—Many more I have no doubt, will unite with us.—The conduct of many of the leading Federalists has been such as to open the eyes of numbers who have been heretofore deluded."
"The Republicans of Prince George's county have come out boldly—and are very zealous. If men of tried patriotism, known talents, and first rate respectability in every point of view, are to be preferred—and which of right ought to be—then you may calculate on the success of the Republican Ticket there."
"I hear nothing from Frederick. I hope that county will not be found wanting in patriotism, in this hour of trial.—Where are the patriotic Sampsons of Frederick?—If some have died, others are living, and more have grown up;—nothing is wanting but a fair exposition of affairs, and patriots enough will be found to rally around the standard of their country, and frown indignantly on the faction: I was near saying the British faction, opposed to our government."
