The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-08-30


does he stay away on account ofthat
business ? How with business ever
permit HIM to leave home, should he be
elected. Now the sober fact is that to
make 4 speeches in county, two day,
in all tmenty speeches, it would have
required but ten days, and this business
man need not have been from home ID
week at any one time. 1t is perfectly
laughable then to talk of want of time.
In the next paragraph, the sophistry
which alludesto the ''silent but eloquent
tribute" of the wing ma jority in the
House of Representatives, to the locofo-
CO measures of the last administration,
will scarcely blind the intelligent read.
er to the fact, that the Senate had a
strong opposition majority, and that
thus the hands of the Wings were tied;
but while it fails in its Intention it does
not fail to show to all friends of Ameri-
can Industry, that they have nothing to
expect from Mr.. Hiram Mccullough.
He takes his stand there against any
change TO benefit American Interests,
and the friends of modification of the
present oppressive Tariff, will hold him
to his avowal. He endorses that policy
which has stopped hundreds of mill
wheels, si!enced thousands of shuttles,
and put out the fires of countless furna-
ces; that policy whichis carrying off our
specie to pay foreigners tor the products
of their looms and FORCES, destroying the
Home market for our farmers, and obi.
cling them to sell their wheat for 10
cents and less, bushel. With all the
cunning employed in writing this letter,
it is no Kane" afair--it is palpable-lt
shows the cloven foot, and we call upon
the citizens of Cecil to send the protss.
sed writer of it for supporters, to the for
eign mills, and furnaces, and agricultu-
r.sts, his policy encourages and pays. 1t
does not pay and encourage here.
The paragraph expressing surprise
that Mr.. E. should not have proposed
Joint discussion, when previously cam
didate, is strange one to come from
Mr.. McC. The reader, passing over an
acknowledgment in it, implied, at the
same time that it avoids the intention to
imply it, will at once ask, "What has that
to do with the present canvass!" Be-
sides, Mr.. Carmichael, against whom he
first ran, was an old member of Con-
gress, and it was his place to invite dis
cusson il one were proposed; and Mr..
Magraw was not professional man, and
did not, that we know of, profess to be a
public speaker.
There are important reasons why Mr.
Evans should desire Joint discussion
Since he has been in Congress he has
given many votes on new and intricate
questions ofpublic policy-some of them
heretofore undlscussed. limitations had
been thrown out, and now public notice
is given, that exception will be taken
to them. lfany exception, whatever is
to be taken to any of his votes, the true
.taar and honest way to do so, is before
the sovereign people-bcfore the men Ct
the workshops, and mills and farms
where Mr.. Evans could have been heard
in reply, and where his course coulc
have been judged and approved or con.
demned by the people, who are the prop
er and final arbiters. Before tAat people,
Mr.. E. proposed to go-on the "stump,'
before them, is the only place where
both sides can be fully and fairly heard
and before them he would have trium.
phantly maintained himself. He is now
ready before the assembled souereaez
people to meet all issues and vindicat,
and justify his course. Before them
and in his presence, there is no opportu
nifty for misrepresentation
sentation and falsehood such as we pro
we'd and fixed upon certain Newspaper
which once before attacked him, as We
suppose it will again, by gar6ling hi
speeches, by false quotations and by for
gerry. Toprevent such injustice again
to tie people, Mr.. E. wished to appeal
but we find the discussion refused be
