For the Cecil Whig.
DIALOGUE.


what's the news2
Taylor.-We!l nothing in particular,
the people are beginning to get warmed
up little again about politics, as the c.
lection is drawing pretty close.
Jones.--Well, who have the wings no.
minated?
Taylor.-They have nominated, John
Rawlins, Nathan Wilkinson and Thomas
Roman. Rawlins lives down on Bohe-
mia Manor, and is very popular there lie
is very intelligent man, and will run
good poll.
Jones.-You know him then?
Taylor.-O yes Pm well acquainted
with him, and if we succeed in electing
him, he'll make faithful representative.
Are you acquainted with Romano
Jones.-Yes; | have met with him Of
ten, and he's noble fellow, he used 10
be little wildish and frolicksome but as
he grows older he gets wiser, and is now
a perfectly sober man.
Taylor.-l'm glad to hear it, for the
Locos have been electoneering against
him on the ground that he was frolick-
some.
Jones.-Just like them, no doubt but
they urge that argument most when they
re drunk themselves, but they election
eer falsely, for he is now perfectly So
Der man, as is known through all his
neighborhood. Ispose you're acquainted
with Wilkinson.
Taylor-Oh yes, and he's the very
man to send to Annapolis. He's man
OF talent and a working man, and if he
goes there he will not spend his time, and
do nothing.
Jones.-Aye, know him well, there's
no mistake in him. Do you know the
Loco candidates.
Taylor.-Well I'm well acquainted
with Mr.. Forwood, but only know the
rest by l.ear-say.
Jones.-I don't know them at all, who
are they2
Taylor.-Well Forwood's one, and
William Knight, John Owens, and Til
lotson Janney.
Jones.-What not four! why how's that?
Taylor.-O it's only one of their mis-
takes, you know they're wrong in every
thing; they are to meet at Elkton on the
fourth, when one of them is to be choked
off. If they choke Forwood off, then the
others will be "birds Of a feather.'
Joncs.-Blue birds, ha, ha, ha
Taylor.-IIa, ha, ha, you're right they
were blue federalists, but they now con-
tend that they are "true grit" democrats.
Jones.-Forwood is not a lederalst
then.
: Taylor.-No, he is of Democratic ex-
traction, but he is bitter Loco foco, and
a young lawyer, and | don't believe in
country folks, voting for lawyers to 90 to
Annapolis to make laws to suit themselves,
without having any regard for the interest
Of mechanics and farmers. There is no
doubt but he will if elected, 90 for the re-
peal Of the law that authorises magistrates
to act in all cases where the sums are un-
der one hundred dollars, which would
give business men and farmers great deal
more trouble in collecting their debts, be-
sides throwing them in much more cost.
JONES' could not think of voting for
him, for the very particular seasons you
have mentioned, and besides that they say
he is ever las.ingly long winded, and
would take up great deal of time in
spouting, and making speeches to show
off.
Taylor.-Yes there's no doubt of that,
and | know several of my neighbours who
will not vote for him for the reasons we
have been mentioning.
Jones.-Well how dye think the Elec-
ton will 60, any how.
Taylor-I think there's no doubt but
the wings will beat. Country folks, you
see, are not SO easily gulled as to believe
the Locos when,they assert that the Wings
arc the authors of the state debt. This
is all the ground they have TO electioneer
on, and every body knows it's false; the
votes on the different bills show that.
Jones-Yes, know, have seen the
Journals Of Proceedings, and read them
there. I have just been 10 town, and was
in Ricketts, Office. He had one side ofhis
paper printed of, and on the last page was
two numbers Of an address to the people
of Maryland, with the votes on the ap-
preparations faithfully extracted from the
Journals; you ought to read them.
Taylor take the paper, and will ex-
anime them-but | must be jogging along,
good day.
Jones.-Farewell.
