The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1844-05-25
The Governor.

The election this fall is a most impor-
'ant one. To the country at large we hold
it TO be of the utmost importance tina,
Henry Clay be made President. In our
own county it is very desirable that we
elect majority of the County Commits
sioners-nor is it less importan, to the
state of Maryland that the wing candi-
date for governor be elected. For six
years have the locofocos ruled il, showing
the anomaly of amnority governing in
a government constituted as ours; for we
presume no one doubts that the Wings
have large majority in the state. Now
this thing ought no. so to be. And we
wish our wing friends to feel the impor-
lance of change and to act so as to el.
feet one. We must elect our men. The
Wings of Maryland must be victorious,
and the wings Of this county must do their
duty. We wish them to understand tina,
there is to be no lukewarmness-no
backirg out. Every man mus, do his
duty-musl work to further the interests
of the party. We are all convinced of the
lrd'h of our principles, let us then, work
to have them carried out.
Our candidate for Governor is q gem
tleman of good ability and high standing.
lie has long served the state as Iegisa.
tor, and has always been faithful to her
interests. Below will be found several
notices in regard to him from our exchan-
ges.
The nomination Of Mr.. PRATT has given
every general satisfaction. He will con-
centrale the whole Wing strength.-flis
course in regard TO the internal improve
ment and financial policies of our State,
will be lavorably regarded. Even the
locofocos will be compelled to give il
their appreciation, as they profess now to
be opposed to the eight million loan bill,
bill which found in Mr. Pratt constant
and lnveterale enemy.-Westminster Car
rolllonian.
On Tuesday, the 30,h ultimo, we had
the honor of attending the Wing Guberna-
torlal Convention, in the city OF Baltimore
and where the greatest harmony prevailed.
We believe that not word nor a look,
of an unknd or unpleasant character, was
spoken or seen, Mr., PRATT, the nominee
OF the convention, is gentleman cf ac-
knowledged talents and ability. lie has
repeatedly served his country in the House
OF Delegates, was four years in the State
Senate, and one Of the twenly-one Wing
electors in 1886, who stood out success
fully the Destructives of the State. Mr..
Pratt is not identified with the State Tax.
lie is true, firm, consistent, and patriotic
Wing, and will make most estimablc
Chief Magistrate of the State. lie was
left, at all early age, an orphan boy, with
out money or friends, and by his own
energy and ability, has risen to the posi-
ton lie now holds.-kcnt .Ncus.
THOMAS G. PRATT, Esq.-We are
much pleased 10 see the harmony that pre-
sided in the convention which nominated
this gentleman as a candidate for the next
Governor Of Maryland. There were Sc
veral distinguished gentlemen before the
convention, but when Col. Pratt was
nominated, like true and genuine wings,
all sacrificed their own preferences and
feelings for the benefit of the cause. A.
mong other pledges, we were glad to hear
old Washington pledged for couple of
hundred next fall for Clay aud Pratt
There can be no doubt but the Eastern
Shore will give Col. Pratt, cordial sup
port.-Gambridge Chron.
Mr.. PRATT.-The nomination of Mr..
PRATT has given very general satisfaction.
He will concentrate the whole Wing
strength. HIS course in regard TO ,he in.
tcrnal improvement and financial politics
Of our state will be lavorably regarded.
Even the Loco Focos will be compelled
to give 1t their appreciation, as they profess
