The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1853-08-13

The DIsTRIcT MEETINGs.-Let the
Wings of the county see to it that the
primary meetings in the several Dis
tricts, called by order of the central com
mittee, for Saturday next, the Goth
inst, be not neglected. Let it be seen
to that each district has a full delegation
in the county convention Of the 23rd
inst.
We notice that the Wings Of ali the
counties are beginning to move, and the
signs seem to show a good chance of
success in the State this fall Bloated
with their success Of late wears, the or
posite party are wrsngling and fighting
over prospective spoils in the future.
We think we see indications that they
are not yet sure Of the future.
Throughout the State the impression
runs-and it is entertained too, tv MANY
aemocgats*-that the wings will elect
their Governor and a majority of the
Legislature. Let US see to it that Cecil
does her share towards ACCOMPLISHING
these results.
Let care, also, be taken as regards our
county officers. Let good, sound, strong,
reliable candidates be selected. A Sher-
if, three County Commissioners, JUS
tees Of the Peace, ConStables, Super
visors many candidates will be requir-
ed, let care be taken in choosing them.
With proper candidates, we cannot fail
Of very general success in this county
at the coming election.
"For instance: The Uashagton STIR. one of
the editors of whic Mr. Hope was formerly
one Of the prorrirtorS the Baltimore Argus,
holds the following language:
'1he Wings have fair chance Of regaining
their former ascendancy in Maryland at thr
approaching election, owing to the terrible
feuds which short season Of success It's en-
erndcred in the Dcmncraic party there
Con The other hand, III" lac defeat of the
Wings there has apparently entirely re-unlcd
them, nervIng them for III" approaching contest,
and taprrSSno on their minds the better pulley
OF unity OF action and the sacrifice OF individual
ambition for their common cause. Under such
circumstances, the Democracy a q distance NAV
rest assured that there is little hope tina, their
Maryland brethren will improve at their late
opportunities
TIE Locoroco STATE CANDDATEs.-
The locofoco State Convention which
met in Baltimore on Wednesday, sue
ceeded OH Thursday, in making the
nominations of candidates for the State
Offices. On the $50 ballot, T. Watkins
Lyon, Of Howard county was nominal
ted for Governor. The candidates We're
Walter Mitchell of Charles, Col. Hughes
of Anne Arundel, H.. G. S. Key of St.
Mary's, and DR.. Duvall Of Montgomery.
The last ballot stood, Ligon 50, Mitchell
40. Key 4; the Cecil delegation voting
for Mitchell.
On the 9th ballot VIM. Pinkney
Whyte of Baltimore city was nominal
ted for Comptroller OF the Treasury.
One Ceci! delegate voted for Wbyt- and
two for H. E. Bateman. The vote stood,
Whyte 81, Bateman 80; }. l.. Stansbury
of Baltimore co. 7.
After 80 ballotngs Lemuel Roberts Of
Queen Anne's was nominated for Lot
terry Commissioner. John Flemming
OF Somerset and Thos. r. Stewart Of
Caroline We're, also, candidates. The
LIST vote stood, Roberts 81; Flemming
43; Stewart 81. The last stood Roberts
81; F]emming A. Cecil went for
Flemming.
These candidates are men of fair
characters and capacities, but not at all
remarkable for strength before the pco-
pie. We think the Wing convention
can get up ticket that will easily beat
them.
