The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-07-12

The present British Minister TO this country,
Sir Henry l.. Bulwer, is one ofthe best ''dinncr''
speakers of the times. This is borne out not
alone by one but by all his efforts in that way.
He was called out at Capon Springs at the con-
clusion Of Mr.. WebStcr's speech, and from the
remarks made by him there we Gull the follow
ing paragraph:
"With your political parties and discussions,
gentlemen, have nothing 10 do--to them | am
and wish to be an entire stranger; but, iIldepcn-
denly of all such parties and discussions, can
understand and admire a great political sent-
ment. The orator of old, when asked what
quality was most essential to the exercise of his
art, replied 'saction;'' and when asked again
what was the next quality, again and again an
swered ''action;" by which he did not mean the
waving of the hand here or the lifting of the
arm there, but that earnestness which is the ex-
preston of true feeling. Gentlemen, the mo-
dern Dcmosthenas who is this day amongst YOU,
when asked again and again what is most essen
tlal nj this moment to the welfare ofhis country.
has said, with that earncstncss which his predc-
ces>or described, again and agaln .'union.'
Gentlemen, am the citizen of an extensive en-
pire, the subject ois sovereign whose dominions
stretch out far and wide over the surface of the
globe, and can well comprehend and sympa-
thlzc with the statesman who, proud of the au-
thority and majesty of this vast republic, shrinks
with horror from the thought of its being split
up into petty commonwealth, comparatively in
significant in power and small in extent"
The best reason merchant can give for not
advertising, it, that by refusing to let the public
know that he has goods to sell, he is not subject.

HUNGARIAN EMIGRANTs.-One hundred and
fifty Hungarian refugees arrived at New York

WING NoMINATIoNs.-The Ohio Wing State
Convention, which assembled at Columbus, on

nor; Mr.. Eckly, of Carroll, for Lieut.. Governor;
Mr.. Earlville, of Erie, for Secretary of State;
Mr.. Slanberry for Attorney General; and MI
John Wood for Auditor of State. Several other
nominations were made.
The SEA DIMINIsHING.-Licut.W VIM. D. Por.
ter, of the Navy, has an interesting communica-
ton in the Intelligencer, in which he Undertakes
to show that all the phenomena of change in
the ocean line of sea coast, and appearance of
rocks above the water, which have been OBJ
served and commented on from time to time, al
caused by constant diminution of the waters
of the ocean; and that a process is at all times
going on by which the substances held in solu-
ton in the ocean waters are converted into SOL
ids.
THE Poor BoY.-Don't be ashamed. nv lad
if you have patch on your elbow. 1t is no mark
Of disgrace. 1t speaks well for your Industrious
mother. For our part, we would rather see n
dozen patches on your jacket, than hear one pro-
fame OR vulgar word escape your lips. No good
boy will shun you because you cannot dress as
well your companions and ifa bad boy some
times laughs at your appearance, say nothing, my
good lad, but walk on. We know many a rich
and good man who was once as poor as YOU.
There is our next door neighbor in particular
now one of our wealthiest men--who told us a
short time since that when child he was glad
to receive the cold potatoes from his neighbours
table. Be good, my boy, and if you ARE poor
you will be respected IA great deal more than if
you were the son Of a rich man, and were ad-
dicted 10 bad habits. OlirC Branch.
