claims to the votes of the people have
been thoroughly canvassed, and now
the hour of action comes. Are you
ready q!
Cecil county gave a majority for Har-

You'd doubt, if the voters are all out on
the End of November, she will give
majority for Scott.
! The voters of this county do not pre-
fer Gen. Pierce, with his total lack OF
qualifications with his British free
trade principles-with his mad OPPOSE
ton to the improvement of our light
houses, our rivers and harbors, to the
gallant old Scott, who has served his
country faithfully for more than forty
gears; who is known to be true Amer
ican-tru to all the interests of our
whole people, everywhere, and whose
abilities have brightly shone in deeds
of peace as well as in deeds of arms.
Are you ready then, for the contest!
We call on every friend of the interests
of his country to be up and doing. We
call upon every Scott man to see to it
that Justice is done to him in Cecil
county. Go to work now and work on
till the polls are closed on the election
day. Wings of Cecil, awake Unless
the wings of the counties do their duty,
our good old State of Maryland may be
lost to Scott But with a vigorous eff
: fort the people Of the country may save
her from proving recreant to her old
principles. There is danger-then
: awake to it, and our State will be safe,
and that by thousands. Come to the
rescue, then, Scott men of Cecil-Come
Wings, to your duty now. There is no
' rxctement-quet reigns, and it is bet
ter so. See your neighbors
: their attendance to the polls. See to it
ere it be too late.
