The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1842-10-29

| Il. = 1t was expected that we would notice al
address "to tho voters of Cecil Countyn by one
Of the defeated locofoco candidates, which ap-
pcarcd in the Cecil Democrat of the 18th inst
| We inadvertently omitted to notice it last week
and i'll referring to it now, we shall not 70 into

50 or mott often find solace III circumstances the
least eAtcnuating, and it may be some gratlf-
cation to him to hope that the reasons he gives
for his discontinue, are believed by the public
to be the true ones; If So we wish not to deprive
him of the consolation. Sufficient for us is it to
know that the legislature of our state, will nei-
Their be honored nor dSgrdced by his presence at
the approaching session, nor at any subsequent
one. We believe him to be dcaa -pOliticaily dead.
Whatever may be his opinion, it is ours, that he
was inundated on the alter of his cherished idol,
Repudintion, A mDtr or 4 criminal, -~thore may
be Il few who mourncd his demisc~therc were
many who rcjoiccd.
In regard to the doctrine of reputation, of
which he has received the title of father in
Maryland, and which he says in the last para
graph of his address is inevitable, we will say
word or two, or rather reiterate what we have
already said.
1t is monstrous doctrine; its advocates where
ever found are in our opinion morally and politl-
cally dishonest. 1t is doctrine that can never
be countenanced by the citizens of this state
There are noble souls enough who rather than
see her dsgraced, would rush to the rescue, and
like true Romans pledge their jewels and their
rings to save her credit, and their credit. There
are thousands of Marylanders, who would give
nine tithcs, yea, who would give the whole of
their property 10 save their parent state from
ignominy, aid themselves from shame-thou-
sands who would resist with as much spirit that
which would brand them with nflmy, as that
which would bind them in chains. What Ma
ryland rcpudatc! At tho mention of it muir
muir Of Indignation is heard throughout her length
and breadth. All sense of dignity--evcry honest
and honorable feeling is insultcd by the thought
The writer of the address, boasts that he re-
ceved more votes at the late election, than he did
at the time he was elected. This is accounted
for by the fact that there were 800 votes more
polled in the county this year than last. He
shows himself to be unaccountably ignorant of
the state Of feeling in tho county when he sup
poses that nothing was written or uttered against
his legislative conduct. His reputation doc
trine was the strong ground of electionecling
against him in many parts of the county.-That
doctrine has been opposed by this paper from the
time he made his fatal move in the legislature till
the present-as general principle and uncou-
pied with his name to be sure, lest it should have
been thought we were waglng war against him
on account of private luminosity. Our word for
it, ifa repudator offers himself again for an Office
i'll Cecil County, things 'written and uttered"
will come to chs knowledge" He will meet
with such rebuke from our honest citizens, that
he will ''hide his diminished head" forever in
disgrace.
