The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1848-09-23
Henry q. Wright, Esq

Some short time hgo ii was stated in The
Democrat Of this place, that Henry L. Wright
Esq. had avowcd his determination to take the
stump against Taylor, and We have seen the par
arraph going the rounds headed with flaming
capital "An1thcr Wing going for Cass''' below
We give letter from Mr.. Wright to the Editors
Of The CcntcriHe Times, defining his position.
We trust however, that the late letter of Gene
raj Tnylor's will satisfy him and induce him to
come out for the whig nomination. Mr.. Wright's
intelligence must certainly convince him that
Gen Taylor could stand chance Of election,
only by being the candidate Of one olihc po'it
zeal parties; and that he was wing enough to be
taken by the Wing party and still remain indie
pendent we think should he source ofgratiii-
cation to Mr. W., especially when his former
predictions considered.
To the Editors Of the Iirnrs.
Grnllclncn:-I have Just received from
friend of the Democrat Of Cambridge containing
mn extract from the Cecil Dcnucrat which
states that rumor had reached there that | had
determined 10 take the stump against Gen Iay-
E,r also that gentleman direct from Queen
AIMS had piycn information that will support
Cass ANA Butler in tie pending political cam
pr"n.
N,v sirs, believe il is very generally known
that was one ofthc Independent Electors for
Gen 'ravlor aud his warm supporter until the
dissolution nf the independent Taylor c"nvcn-
tom and although my support isnow Withdrawn
fum Gen. Taylor, it is from no partiality to
Cass and Butler or wisi for their success it is
because have !oohcd upon Gen Taylor since
the time Of the Saunders statement IN the Pail
adclpbia Convention ami his confirmation of the
same, as too deeply nbncd witt the principles
Of porly to correct the abuses and cOrIuptulIs Of
rarity, or init gate its aspCrity. and have there
fore marked inr rnysr: "A strictly neutral position
between the Presidential candidates in the pend
ing canvass.
The gcntlcmnnly editor ofthe Cecil Democrat
has been pleased to Subscribe to my resp eta ill
" and intclligcnCc-lt would he il my ,wm rsli-
nation, very doubtful whether | possessed ci-
thcr, if after nv speeches against the corruptjons
ofparty | should withdraw my support from
Gen. TavIor for his adhesion TO party with
which have acted for twenty years, aud trans
fer il ia hi: opponent, Whns: strict adhesion to
y party TO which have always been opposed, is
not even questioned. 1t would u, all cvr"ts OK
hibt great pq,Ie and Spleen, aud the highest
grade Of nconSi s'cnCy The truth is, ! shall not
take the stump for or against Gen. Taylor
certainly not at all, unless TO defend mysclftrom
personal attack, which is not even plohablc, hav
ing the same riIht as others TO choose NV posi-
ton. | regret extremely that any Queen AIMS
gentleman should have been mistaken IN hi'
communication Of my intentions to support Cass
and Bulcr--I intend no such thur--and have |
never by any express ion OF mine, given the slight !
est ground for such belief. BY the publication |
Of the above, YOU vii assist the cause of truth,
and confer favor on
Your obi. servant, II. f. WRIGHT.
