WILLIAM PlNKNEY EwlNG ESo.-An alb
surd story that this gentleman, now candi-
date for States Attorney, is an aboltionSt
has been circulated in some parts Of this
county. II would be useless to spread it
here or anywhere where lie is known. The
whole foundation for the story arises from
his pokng fun OH one occasion alta rather cX-
citeable person on the 'ncgro" subject. The
matter was a subject of nicrrimelt at the
time among those who knew Oft occurred
private Din an Office here and was known at
the time to be mere Jest Of the moment.
In 1852 Mr.. Ewing was one of the Editors
of The Cincinnati Atlas with which paper we
exchanged. C4, the 3lst Of August of that
year the following editorial written by him
appeared III that paper. 1t was written in
III abolition state amid excitement on that
question. and shows at once that Ewing was
not an abotonist when it was his interest to
be so. We refer to this matter because the
charge docs him, as we personally know,
great injustice. There is no moro honorable
man in Cecil County than Ewing and we wish
to see him have fair pla. -

WORDS OF WAnNlNG.--Th colored people

ings should not be suffered to pass mnoticcd,
particularly when those proceedings saver
as they did at the meeting on Third street,
Tuesday evening so strongly Of treason,
From series Of resolutions reported on the
occasion, which will explain the object and
feeling of the meeting. we clip the following:
ReSoirrd, That colorcd persons are of
right citizens of the United States. yet they
cannot exercise the full prerogatives Of one
while slavery exists and the American Union
is preserved.
ResolrM, That We should labor diligently
to sccurc-frst. the abolition of slavery, and
failing in this, the separation Of the States :
one or the other event being necessary to our
ever enjoying in its fullncss and power, the
! privilt re of an American citizen"
NoR, what do the colorcd folks hope to
gain by all this Glustcr? DO they expect to
COW or intimidatc the whites? Or do they
think to gain friends Cor their cause by such
threatening defamation!
If they have either of these objects in view
they are most cgrcgiously mistaken in their
estimate of the character Of the whites, and
VIC think their race has had dealings enough
with them to learn, if they are capable of
learning Gnytlling, that such language is not
calculated to remove, or in any wise lesson
the prciu,liccs existing against them in the
minds of the whites. That the two races can
never live together OH an equality or in har-
mony, is evident to every rejecting mind
is fixed fact
Just so long n, the African is guilty of
wearing a black skin, he will be looked upon
and treated as degraded and an inferior be-
ing. The prejudice against the race is ilihcr-
ent, and all attempts to eradicate it, either
by Remuneration or argument will prove fu-
tile Before they attain their rights as free
men and citizens they must be removed from
among rs by colonization. For them there
is no other hope. They can never. while re-
manning distinct race among us, "enioy in
its fu,lncss and power" the privileges OF
American citizens and their suicidal attempts
to dissolve the Union will bling down on
them vengeance which will be glutted only
by their total eXtirpation and humiliation.
The blacks have been always foolishly and
perrcrstly blind to their own interests, and
the gtle atty IF tlcir movements aave had Il
tendency to incense rather than coucilatc the
whites, and to ihju5 instead Of amcliora,ing
their own wrctchGd condition.
They must be strangely infatuated, CT their
minds must lie kcenly poisoned by the insane
teachings Of fools and fanatics or they would
not have given such resolutions publicity
We advise them to ponder well their present
position and the circumstances by which they
are surrounded and henerfo:th to Yet all their
movements be governed by prudence and
conducted with moderation foi if they ever
attempt their vauntcd separation of the States
the attempt will be to them a fearful one,
and one which those who survive will long
and bitterly regret.
