THE CECIL WHIG.

,ha, the party is braken up?-tIat i, cans
not again revive. Are you Wings? then
if you smart under deep ,crong, you
will still be pa'ien,-ir you have been in
suited, you will not resist, if resistance
Injuries your rarly-if you have been
smiHen, you will not avenge the blow, il
your ideal of Truth in politics be thus
made TO suffer. The great Wing party Of
the nation although they elected John
Tyler, aud gave him ali the consequence
he ever possessed, was not accountable
for his endeavors TO aggrandize himscy,
to the injury Of other members Of the par
ty, ant! to The detriment Of the party itself;
neither, then, is the Whig party of this
county answerable FOR the acts of any ia
dvidual who has pursued a similar course.
if any have done SO. The great whig
party Of the nation, when fully convinced
that john Tyler was guilty of maleiacIiou,
spurned him, as one man, {excepI the
crouching interested, "who crook the
pregnant hinges Of the knee that thrift
may follow lawning,n) and they continue
to scoTn him with lervency that his sci,
fish misconduct won for him; SO, let the
Wing part. oi Cecil spurn and scorn any
man, who has allowed his far reaching
and inurdina,e sfltishncss TO trarPie down
the gratitude of friend-the loyalty OF
Whig, aud The honor of a man, if they
are convinced that any such there be; but
we must insist that no correct judgment
can be formed, unless all evidence is
heard and every motive wei ghc cd And
every man will see that this is correct,
for every one has felt The injustice of sus-
piclons, disparaging remarks, aid deci-
sions, in cases where his motives and ac-
lions were not understood. We cannot
deny that it is au almost unheard Of case.
lora Nhig, nominated by a whig Execu-
tive, to be rejected by Senate of the same
politics, and if The suspicion that Mr..
Howard had Mr.. lamar rejected to get
the place himself, (Which suspicion is
alleged to be founded on that fact, that
when lamar was nominated tie choice was
narrowed down 10 be between him and
'lowald. as well as on the principle, tha,
when justice is sought, ii is improper for
man to be a judge in a case where he is
one of the parties most Interested if that
alleged fact, be fact, and if that princi-
pie be correct, and if il be natural TO de.
dnce such suspicion ,herefrom.) if that
suspicion, we say, gain general credence,
then indeed, will all the emoluments of
the office he poor remuneration for the
shock that his character must suffer-
Such suspicion we know does exist, for
it is loudly expressed, and owing to the
very peculiar circumstances Of the case,
it may be extremely diliicult for Mr. How
ard to do away the impression, so that
we must again repeat, that all who cannot
see the matter as he did, and enter into
his feelings,and weigh his motives, should
have care that they do not do him an
injury which he may not deserve.
Mr.. Howard will make competent officer.
We were opposed to his getting the office, be-
cause owing to his position as Senator we be-
lleved it would he unpopular, and dsadvanta-
geous to the party; large majority Of the cti-
zens OF the county were Of the same opinion,
and VIC still believe that he ought not to have
had it, 1--WE need not say here that we are fully
sustained in This 6pnIon,) but as it was mat
ter of great importance to him. he had right
to apply for it, ifhc saw no kind of obstacle in
the way, and 10 get it, if he fairly could.
There is one issue between MIR. Howard and
ourself, upon which we can never be brought 10
think alike-the rejection of Mr.. lamar. We
believe that that was an unjust procecding-hc
may justify his course in whatever way he plea
ses-we are satisfied 10 know that we have with
us the active and prominent members of the
party throughout the extent of the countv-yes
The great mass Of the party with but rery .te,r
eScertions-yca the party, in soul and body, is
with us. We publish il here amongst them

party, may over lis own proper name have the
