For The Cecil Wing.
TO THE VOTERS OF THE FIRST
ELECTION DISTRICT.

The time is near at hand in which il
will drvolve on you to select a suitable
person TO perform the duties Of County
Commissioner, from this district for the
ensuing two years.
Mr.. James Ford of Cccil,on, in my
opinion would make most excellent
Commissioner; combining as he does a
character for industry, capacity and fdel-
ity; he has already served the public as
Collector and Assessor, and is kaown TO
have performed ms duty in these cases,
and have no doubt if he is nominal ed
he will make a strong poll, and # elected
will make faithful and efficient Commits
Sioner Every one is more or less inter-
ested in the selection, let us act wisely
and make such a choice as will watch
over, protect, and guard the interests Of
our District.

THE CoNvENTIoN.-Enquiries are daily
made OF US as to when the Wings will
call a County convention to nominate
candidates for the State Reform Conven-
ton We cannot distinctly say. The
Central Committee have not yet held a
meeting in reference 10 the subject. There
is no time yet lost-it is yet quite early to
begin the campaign.
Our locofoco friends seem 10 be partic-
ularly alive on the subject. They have
taken steps to have out their candidate S
at an early day; and the question come.
up, was this done to put down the talk Of
union ticket as favored and proposed by
some Of their party! That it was, would
seem TO b. the natural conclusion. II not
why such hot haste? This helps to show
what we have always held, that their
whole cry about reform, was to try TO gair
some party advantage. Well! we vii
give them some trouble yet, before they
carry Cecil.

CAFE May. The company on Cape
Island already number about three hum
dred. the arrivals having been large for a
a week past by the outside boats from
New York. The hotels are all in fine
order, and their Accommodations greatly

feet long by 81 IN width, with a ceiling
II feet in height, which secures its COOK

nica!on in reference to the candidate for
Commissioner in the first district. II
there be any difference of opinion there
on the subject, of course we take no part

PoLITIcAL MOVEMENTS IN CALIFORNIA
Return Of Santa Anna 10 Mexico A
Geographic dispatch dated Washington
June %, to the New York Express SAYS
"lntelIgence has been received here
from California relative TO the certain DO.
lltical movements going on there, looking
to results which will aslonlsh the PEOPLE
OF these States, when it is diyuIscd. 1t
needs confirmation however
"News has also been received, Of an
other revolution in Mexico, but OF what
extent am not yet appr'zed. 1t is GER
tain however that Santa Anna has re-
turned"
THIS latter announcement is certainly
very improbable, as the latest intelligence
from Carthagena, New Grenada, staey
that Santa Anna was still there.

EosToN.-The project of annexing
Charleslown, RoxLury and fambridge to
Boston, making one municipality OF it, is
again being discussed. Boston contains
only 100000 inhabitants; the addition of
these suburban counties would make The
entire population 1873 600. The ,nconve-
nienc' OF embracing dense and contiguous
populations under separate municipal gov
ernments is felt there, and TO prevent it
growing to such an evil as it is in Phlla-
delphia, the BostonIans want consolidation
at once.

Our CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR w
continue to day, extracts fromvarous papers
throughout the state in regard TO the NOM
inahon OF Mr.. Clarke. He is a most &C
ceptable candidate IN every section OF the
state, and the campaign opens brightly for
him; but we say distinctly to every Mary
land wing who reads our paper, that while
the prospect Of his election is so fair, he
cannot be successful unless we all exert
ourselves. One word should be sufficient
let every Wing in Maryland do his ut
most to get votes for the wing candidate
for Governor. In state with 5000
wing majority, the locofocos have elected
three out Of four Governors, merely be-
cause OF the inactivity Of our party. 1t is
our turn now IN all conscience, so boys,
let us have our man.

Contrary to our expectation the Senate adjourn

and Seward, of New York, par Mobile trdtrum,
prevented it. They and their associates seem de-

The account Of thu execution aud confession Of
Pearson, yesterday, in Boston, will be read with
melancholy interest. According TO his own
fession, The unfortunate man committed the crime
OF murder, his wife and two children, while he
was under the influence Of liquor. 1t was a hor-
ribe case Of crime, and the particulars which
he relates in his confession, show that he
hnd no command over himself while in that situa-
hon, as far as his wife and family were concerned,
but that the commission OF the dreadful deed sud-
denly restored him TO a sense of its awfuness. He
accordingly, with great method, endeavored to

had Killed her children, and then committed sui
