This subject is one Of growing interest TO
the people of Teunesse, aud every day TINT
rolls by, convnces us of the importance of
taking some steps to free our State of the
great evil. The Northern States are forcing
their free negroes from within their limits.
Illinois, Indiana Iowa, and other States,
have recently engraltcd provisions in their
State constitutions, iorid4:::g fee negroes
removing into them, and in some instances
forcing them 10 leave the State. In Our own
State some thing must he done TO remedy the
evil also, and we are pleased to know that

their removal, &c.

In Our own county, we have noticed with

difficuliy-and in sUme cases, the absolute

sentiment upon the subject of curslng our
country with an increase, or even the present

DO NOT FORGET.

That Mr.. Hiram Mccullough voted
against the Bill to abolish imprisonment
for debt. He voted to deprive the poor
debtor Of his personal liberty, the boon
Americans prize above all others; to
throw him in Jail to pine, and to rot if
his heartless creditor willed it, where
he could have no chance to earn wages
to poy the debt, or keep his family from
starving. This Hiram Mccullough did
DO. See journal of Proceedings Of the
Senate, December Session 1916, pages
225 to 22S.
For this vote the condemnation Of
10000 majority Of the people Of Nary
land has been passed upon him, for they
have biotted Imprisonment for debt from
tha statutes Of he State, by that decided
majority. Voters remember this on
Wednesday next.

TNPiCS OF TIE MEEK.


As is natural the Election to take
place on Wedne iday next is at present
the prominent subject-of conversation.
Various are the conj-ctures as to the
probable result; the wings to man, and,
we believe, the better informed part of
the opposition, think the election of the
whig candidate for Congress, a certainty.
Still, there is most vigorous contest
urged, and Cecil will cast large vote
on Wednesday next.
Both parties seem to claim Cecil. The
locofocos have 100 majority and the
safe calculators among them think Ev-
ans cannot do more than neuiralizc that;
others among them say Mccullough
will carry the county by his proper ma
iority; while the wings claim it for their
candidate; some Of them by as many
as $50.
AS regards the result in the District,
we hear OF wliss Offering to bet and
give Mr.. Evans rs majority; while they
claim for him at least 900. Some OF our
more sanguine friends say his majority
may reach 500. But our prudent poll
ticians say "use every exertion and get
Evans every vote possible" This is
the proper course, and we urge our
friends to pursue it. Secure every vote
that can be had.
The course Of the candidates, in their
previous connexion with public affairs,
is freely canvassed. The objections
against the votes and acts of Mr.. Evans,
appear to have been silenard, and his
course in Congrass meets the approval
of his fellow citizens. They hold him
to have been an industrious and faithful
Representative, at the same time that he
is efficient and able. The vote of Mr..
Mccullough against Biennial Sessions,
seems to be held against him as an eyi-
dencc Of carelessness in regard to the
interests Of taxpayers, and OF reckless
ness in the expenditure Of TIE peoples s
money!; and, indeed, it seems natural
and proper that tax payers should look
susplciously on man who voted to
waste needIessly, forty thousand dollars
10 CT n h.
ing imprisonment for debt, is held by
many to be no evidence Of friendship to
the poor and the unfortunate.
Then, their probable future course, is
canvassed Mr.. Evans is known to be
favorable to such a modification Of the
tariff as the Industry and general inter-
csts Of this country demand; Oh that
question he agrees in sentiment with a
large majority Of the people Of this coun-
-. Dn tiG Otner udhU, ju!ging from
Mr.. McCuliough's aGinities, irom his re-
flsal to meet Mr.. Z. before the people,
and from his letter, in which he avowed
himselfin favor Of the measures of the
Polk administration, he is opposed di-
rectly to the views Of Cecil county on
this question. In fact, there can be no
doubt on this subject--no matter what
he may promise privately in his rounds
among the voters. "Such PROMISES"
remarked tariff democrat to us the
other day, "are like pie-crust; made to
be brohcn.'
