The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1842-10-01
Ito The EeGsya,

Wings of Cecil, this is the last call we
shall be able to make on you before you
deposit your votes in the ballot box
All that we have to say to you is to turn
out IN all your strength, and bring out
your friends. Be viglant, be on the
ground at an early hour, and stay till the
closing Of the Polls.
To the active men of the party in every
district we would say, bestir yourselves,
much depends upon your exer,ions. work
then with your might and lose no vote
through car eessness.
The election ofour Sheriff we believe to
be certain. The leading locos fear and
tremble for their man-they brought out
Mr.. Bidd!e i'll opposition TO the majority
of the voters of their party, whom they
now see will not be "whipt INTO the ira
ces." They have patlcd some on the
back and coaxed them, others they have
threatened, others they have attempted
to bride. But there are men not to be
moved by any Of these means, who are de-
termined to vote for Mr.. Foard because
he is emphatically the "People's Cand-
date" They have been rode over ''rough-
shod," long enough and now they will
act independently. We repeat then, wing
voters OF Cecil, exert yours elves, be &C
tive, and the day is ours.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1842-10-01
The Prospect Frightening,
Business InsDr0ring.

We notice with pleasure cheering indi-
cations Of the revival of business, as well
along Market street and other principal
thoroughfares, as on the wharves. The
Tariff has thus far had very saIutary
effect, and if we only had proper nation.
al currency, everything would start for
ward again with buovancy and activity.
The interior must be bare of goods as
compared with former years, because the
purchases that have been made for some
time past have been unusually light. The
crops have been abundant this year, and
thus the means have been afforded to the
agricultural portion of the community, to
pay thar debts to some extent at least, if
not in money, in the products of the earth,
The prices, it is true. are low, but The
quantity of wheat, SC. on hand, is at least
| one-third more than i'll ordinary seasons,
while one reason for low prices may be
discovered in the limited nature Of the
currency, On the whole, however, the
signs are decidedly favorablc.--The lam
gor by which cur business circles has
been characterised for so long period
has disappeared measurably, aud we re-
peat, if we could only geta good national
currency, the country would again be-
come prosperous. The want of such a
medium of exchange will continue to
prove great drawback; but we still in.
duige hope that the great mass OF the
people will open their eyes to the truth
in this respect, and will act together in a
laudable effect to provide means by which
the debtors ofthe west may pay their OBJ
legations to the east without any great
sacrifice, by which the merchant, the
manufacturer, the mechanic and the ag-
ri culturist will be mutually assisted in
their operations, and by which the honest
day laborel may receive remuneration for
his toll, either in specie or it's equivalent.
Under existing circumstances, we have
half dozen currencies or more in the
different States Of the Union. The hon
est debtor, if at the distance of a few hun
dred miles from his creditor, cannot pay
if he would without great loss, while the
dishonest makes the unfortunate condi-
ton ofexchange pretext for not paying.
We are not at all surprised tina. much
prejudice should exist agains. banks, and
that much Indignation should be felt
against the late United States Bank, for
the acknowledgement and ruin which have
characterised SO many of our monetary
Institutions of late years. cannot soon be
| forgotten. Still the hundreds who have
lost, are losing yet more for the want of a
proper national currency, and they will
continue to suffer in this way, until the
counseis of wisdom and patriotism shall
prevail, and some plan shall be agreed
upon, calculated to supply the want that
is so sensibly felt at the present moment.
