THAT ToRCHLIGHT worcestershire
"Grand Torch Light Procession" which, in the
pompous language of Tho democrat. was .exp,ct-
cd to be the largest and most imposing demoustru-
ton ever witnessed in Cecil" took place on Tues
day evening last and resulted in most ridiculous
failure. The procession consisted of three Elkton
locos on horseback, parcel of boys On foot and
some twenty or so Of that peculiar class of the
Democracy from the country who arc sure to be
circulating about town on circus or mcnagerie oc
casions The aristocracy of the Democracy did mt
wade in" The liberal expectants of office, &c
here had furnished three-cent transparencics for
all the districts. and were 'disgused'' when they
had, also to furnish the boys to carry them. The
democratic Clubs that were to have been prcs-
ent did mt appear, nor was the Hon Mr. Whiteley
or any one else here to make the congratulatory
speech. A cannon was fired few times few
rockets and paper balloons were sent up and four
houses were illuminated. They carried around
with them an efifgyi of Fremont on woolcy horse
and concluded their proceedings by burning him
and his horse on the Court House yard. The get.
ters-up of the affair excuse its failure by saying
that the leading men were opposed to it, and would
not join in, &C. the fact is, that so far as Mary
land and Cecil county concerned, the victory
was so much 'over the loft' people were not going
to join in such a mockery

We take the meeting Of the X, y. party
in the Court House ON last Saturday night.
as fair indication of the sentiment Of the
people, on the question of making the
contest for county officers, turn upon a
party issue. 1t was the fat test, dullest,
most perfectly lifeiess political meeting
we have ever attended. There were not
more than 25 members of the party there.
and but two or three manifested any in
terest in the proceedings. Thus i, is all
over the county. Wherever s,miIat meet
ings have been held, we hear that they
have been gotten up by one or two inter
ested men--the masses neither participating
in nor favoring the movement. This state
of feeling Is highly complimentary to the
intelligence Of the people. Whenever the
popular voition becomes SO violated by
party ASSOCIATION as to see merit only
through the medium of party prejudice
aud bias, then our confidence in the ca
pacity of the people for self-governmert
will be greatly shaken, and our fears for
the successful and efficient administration
of government seriously excited. We
have always contended, that in county
Offices ministerial and executive in their
nature, the surest way to subserve the ends
OF justice was tor the people, without arous-
ing their party feelings. to be lett free to
choose among those Offering for their suf-
frages. We are glad to believe thai the
people themselves harmonic in sentiment
with this view, and are determined not to
be led captive 10y the seductons Of poll
ticians, nor sWerved from their pfopfiety
by political affiliations. We care mol who
they may choose. If done under the con =
vietons of duty, we are satisfied thot sucl,
choice, in nine cases out of ten, will BIZ
wise, and will contribute 10 good aid
healthy government. The signs strong y
indicate, and we congratulate the county
upon the indications. that the people pre-
fer exercising their own wishes in the
face and in Defiance of the party LASH
The meeting of last Saturday strongly sup
PORTS this conclusion.

the exception OF two sections, 10 within

have to be suspended, and the work, on
some sections, stopped at time the most
