The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1851-11-15

Samuel Gillespie was found by jury TO be
insane and paupcr and was ordered by the
Court to be sent to the Maryland Hospital at
The expense of Cecil county.
Edward CHM, against whom true hill was
found for the murder Of Henry Prilcl.ard has re-
moved his case to Hartford.
In the case of the Judges of Election in the
3rl district, the case was submitted, no estimo-
ny offered; consequently they were acquitted:
Thirty witnesses were in attendance in this case
from court to court, some OF them more than
twenty days, as understand. The county
will have Il fine little bill to foot up; Or rather
has had, for good part Of the expenses were
levied in the last Levy. We will refer to this
case OF Humbug at some future time.
The contested Election case was dismissed,
and so ends that ridiculous, but expensive farce.
William Frederick Buckland, anative Of Eng
lani, and at present resident of Cecil county,
was naturalizcd.
At the close of the court on Friday, Juige
Ecclcston made some pertinent valndicory re-
marks, referring with much feeling TO the kind
ness shown h IN BY the Juries and the members
ofthe Bar during his late family Affections, to
the courtesy always shown him here, and re-
ierred also to the unusual vote given him in &C.
Gil at the late election asa further evidence Of
their friendly feeling.

The VICE PREsIDENcY-The name
of the Hon. James A. Pcarce, L. s. SEN
ator, from the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, has been mentioned in connection
with the next nomination for Vice Pres
ident. Mr.. Pearce is a gentleman Of
great talents and learning, and one of
the soundest statesmen in the Senate;
and particularly since the part he took
in the Compromise Measures, is exceed
ingly popular all over the Union. His
nomination would add strength to the
wing cause, and would be hailed with
great pleasure by Maryland For one,

SPURIOUS TlcKErs.-A great ''to do"
was made in the number Of Ihc Demo-
crat preceding the election about spuri-
Gus tickets, and the voters were cau-
toned to take care lest the rhigs should
cheat them with such tickets; and yet
from that Office were issued the only
spurious tickets printed in this county.
There were there printed tickets with
the middle letter left out of the name OF
James S. Mitchell which were circula-
ted over the county, and dozen or
more-perhaps twenty-as we under
stand, found their way into the various
ballot boxes. We saw some of the
sheets issued from The Democrat office
part of them printed James S. Mitchell
(these, we suppose, for the more wary,
and part James Mitchell, fhese fol
those, we infer, who would not be sc
likely to discover the error.)
We printed, in The Wing Office, al
manner of tickets, double in part, ant
some nearly double in whole, but they
were ordered by candidates that voter
might make selection, or by demo
Gratis who wanted them for their owl
use; but in no case did we Issue. spuri
GUS tickets to deceive any voter,
