The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1852-09-25


this section, but the subject is of vast
concern to every full-hearted statesman
whose soul is not pent up in little New
Hampshire; and the course of General
Pierce on the River and Harbor ques-
ton will tell powerfully against him in
all the West. We apprchend there are
thousands of Democrats who will hold
these to be solid objections to General
Pierce.
OBLlGATIoNs.-Our thanks are due
to Hon. J. A. Pearce for Parts and 2
of the Presidents last Annual Message
and accompanying documents.
LYING PAMPHLETS AGAINST GEN.
ScoTT.-A Port Deposit correspondent
writes concerning the floods of pam
phlets against Gen. Scott, with which
the locos are filling the county. We are
aware of it, and have several specimens
on hand. Some Of them charge him
with being catholic-some with be-
ing Native American and opposed to
catholics some that he Is a coward
some that he is a detaulter.-some that
he is an abolitionist, and all this sort of
thing. Why, the whole matter is per-
fpctly nonsencical and unworthy of
mention. They can't force such fabri-
cations against the old General, down
the Threats of the people of Cecil county.
They know who Gen. Scott is, and they
will tell it through the ballot box.
CALrMNy AND Observation-Disclosures
complaints are made by. the locofoco
Journals against the wings for attacking
the character of Gen. Pierce. They
forget that they provoked It by their as
sauts upon Gen. Scott. They find their
candidate vulnerable on every point
and grow tired of the warfare. So far
as Scott is concerned let them blaze
away; the old hero has stood many
fercer fire without fainting or falling.
THE LIFE OF ScoTT. The lives of
General Scott circulated IN this county
were gotten up and printed South of
Mason x Dixon's line, and the assertion
that Horace Greeley had anything to do
them, whenever and wherever made. is
nothing more or less than ,taise. The
history of the life of General Scott is
part of the history of this country; pro-
cure 1t therefore, reader; study it. teach
it to your Children and loan it to your
ne;ghbor. No matter whether YOU are
for Scott or against HIM, read his life
and see what he has done for this coun-
try during the last half century.
A PRoTRAcTED MEETING is now in progress
at the NJ. E. Church in Chesapeake City.
TEMPERANCE MEET1NG.-Rev. E. Yates
Reese, of Baltimore, made a powerful Temper
ance address in North East, on Thursday night,
which was heard with great attention by a large
audience.

Point. Mr.. Calvert was a young man much
respected He leaves a wife and two children.
