The following statement, from the American, gives, we believe, with great precision, the result of the Maryland election.

The House of Delegates will, therefore, be composed of 40 republican, and 39 federal members, and the Senate of 15 republican members. These will choose in joint meeting the Governor and federal Senator. who will command a republican majority of 16, and the government, consequently, in all departments, be likewise republican.--

Of the representatives in congress six are republican and three federal.

The approximation, in the House of Delegates, of the federalists to the republicans, is no evidence of the relative strength of parties in Maryland, but is altogether the effect of the unequal numbers in the several counties, all of which are entitled to the same number of representatives, although the population of some counties is twice or three times as great as that of others. To prove this we offer the following table of votes given for representatives in congress, which contains a full statement so far as they have been received.

Present repub, majority, :: 5802 )

In Prince Georges, although we have not a particular statement, we know the republican majority was 8, and in Annapolis there was likewise a republican majority.

The remaining counties are Charles, St. Mary's. Calvert and Dorchester, from which particular returns have not been received... In Calvert we know that the federal majority is extremely trifling. Allowing for the 3 other counties, a majority of 1500, which is more than they will give, & the clear republican majority will be 4300.

We, therefore, boldly proclaim the state of Maryland to be still decidedly republican.

FROM THE AMERICAN.

It will be seen from the returns of the election for members. to the house of delegates, from all the counties in the state, that there is an equal division of party. The house is composed of 80 members, 40 of which are republican. By the federal statement the republicans have 37 members, and the federalists 43. This is, however, inaccurate, as will be seen from the following schedule; which, from the best information. we are assured is correct.

By the above statement it will be seen that there is a tie in the house. The federalists, however, claim Messrs. Ennals, Page and Hughlett, who we are informed are decided friends of their country and of free representative democratic principles.

Another circumstance must not be omitted : John Young. a member elect, for Caroline, is not eligible to a seat in the house of delegates, in consequence of his failure. He is not possessed of sufficient property to qualify. On the list of applicants to the Baltimore county court for relief, under the insolvent laws of Maryland, who have not had a final discharge, and whose time of hearing is past, will be found the name of John Young. Thus he stands disqualified by record, which gives a majority of one to the republicans in the house of delegates.

Thus it appears that federalism has no cause for exultation when they are reduced to the necessity of seeking a bankrupt representation.

Neither is the late election a test of the strength of parties, if the delegates elect are to be the criterion.

Baltimore city, the population of which amounts nearly to 40,000 inhabitants, and 4000 legal voters, is represented in the legislature by two members only, while Worcester, with not half the population, sends four. The cities of Baltimore and Annapolis send four members, a population con- jointly larger possibly than any two counties in the state, the representation of which is double, yet these two cities are so nearly approximated in their representation, to the rotten borough system of Great Britain, that they enjoy no greater weight in the house of delegates than the smallest County in the state.

The only criterion of the state of public opinion is derived from a view of the congressional returns which are arranged in a proportionate ratio in the several districts. The republicans have succeeded in six districts, and the federalists in three-thus it appears that two thirds of the citizens of Maryland are in favor of the measures of the present administration, notwithstanding the undue weight that federalism has ac- quired by a dissemination of the most de- ceptive and flagitious falsehoods that ever disgraced a free press.

The congressional members elect'd are :

Republican -Roger Nelson, Nicholas Ruxton Moore. Alex. M'Kim, John Montgomery, Mr. Brown, (in the room of Edward Lloyd, declined)-and Archibald Vanhorne-.6.

Federal-Philip Barton Key, John Campbell, C. Goldsborough--3.

Our Senate is decidedly republican, giving on a joint ballot, at least 15 efficient republican votes.
