The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1852-10-16


Massachusetts,, the wings were defeated.
although having usually very large
No longer ago than last week
a new coalition between the locufocos
and Free sellers was entered into in
Dedham, in that State. And let Mr..
Ohio Scott listen TO what the honest
Democrats of Massachusetts think OF this
and let him take 1t for a text
when he next attempts to enlighten this
as TO how they should vote.
AT late meeting held by them in Con-
cord, Middlesex county, in that State,
the Democrats who would not for
the sake Of the "spoils" enter INTO the
coalition, passed the following resolu-
ton:
Resoired. That the Coalition in this State
between the Frcesoil and Democratic parties
has been the means Of keeping in life and Civ
ing power and influence TO a political party
possible means to ALLEVIATE one portion Of our
common country from the rest, to stir up strife
and dsa,l.cton between the different States of
the Union, and to weaken the bonds thai have
thus bound us together as great and united
nation.
In the course of bis speech he said
the custom Of the wings was TO abuse the
candidates Of their opponents; custom
to which he would not descend: but
presently he beloved at the top of his
breath that Gen. Scott had written
nothing during the course of his life up
to his controversy with Marcy, which
was not characterized by 'ignorance
and impndence;" and his speech through
out was contemptably low attempt to
make the gallant old soldier trilllng
and unworthy man. Yes, he abused
and villiied the gallant old Gen. Scott
who carries in his body to-day more
British lead than would Grighten to death
a whole herd of such cattle as Ohio
Scott, and who, though having less low
cunning, has more ability and knows
more law, can make better speech and
write better letter than his abusive old
viIiier.
Who is this man Ohio Scott, we have
asked, who comes here to abuse the whg
party, and their candidate ! Is he the
same man who once came to Elkton, an
Adams delegate, opposed to Gen. Jack
son Is he the same man, who while a
member of the State Senate was charg-
ed by members oil his party with being
brbed Is he the same man who was
burnt IN cfligv by meeting Of Demo
Gratis in the streets Of Baltimore Is he
the same man who was in favor of repu.
dation, and of bringing our good old
State into disgrace Is this present
opponent Of military candidates, the man
who was out for Taylor as an indepen-
dent candidate IN 1913 ! We believe
all these questions are entitled to an az
frmative answer. Who is he and what
is he, that he should come here on a
political mission and pirate of patriotism,
and ask wings of Cecil county to vote
this way, or that9 We hope we shall
not have occasion to refer to him again
on account of his villifcation Of the
whis party; if we do we may go a little
deeper into his history, perhaps.
Let him learn to look honest men in the
face as honest men do, before he comes
to the court house of Cecil county to
harangue public assembly and charge
great political party with political dis
honesty.
We shall not now follow him farther
We believe we express the sentiment of
all the wings and some of the democrats
who heard Ohio, when we say that his
speech was weak one for a man of the
ability conceded to him, and that it was
ignorant and impudent'' from begin
ming TO end. We believe the meeting
was of advantage to the whigs--it stir
red up the lukewarm among them. and
disguised some of the democrats, who,
for their country'S sake, are proud of
the fame of General Scott.
