UJ7~Therc are many things just now
to which we would gladly be able to give
our pens attention, but the unrclcnting
hand of sickness which for weeks has
refused to loosen its hold, compcls us in
quiet to seek the relief which us yet has
refused to come.
There are some minor matters Of politi-
cal controversy between us and the
papers of the other side here printed, in
which we think well hour would enable
us to carry our way beyond catil--but
they must pass for the noncc.
There is something about cold Line
Wings" after which We would like to
look little, but may not now. Some
OF these quondam co-opcrators of ours,
VIC understand, are thinking that we
strike them rather heavily: if we do, it
is only because they have gotten too
close to that locolocoism at which we
strike now as we have ever struck
Not only have they gotten into its
embrace, but that striking back, as they
do, at their old coadjutors, they ought
to excuse a natural rebound of the blow.
10 let these gentlemen tell the story,
in turning to the s'cravcn old traduccr
Of Henry Clay" we will maintain that
phrase one of these days they assume
that they are the essence and patriotism
and purity Of the old wing party, and
that those Wigs who vote for Fillmore
and the American ticket are anything
else but patriotic; let them have patience
while the point is contcstcd-lot them
be passive if their immodcst assumption
fail.
There is something to be said about
lists Of namcs-about some great names
of Kent, and authorities, &c. Here is
an item from The Kent .NcwS:
G~5J@The Cecil Democrat contains long list
of Odd Line Wings" whom it saws intend to
support Buchanan for the Presidency. among
them we notice the names of Hon. j. A, pearcc
Hon. f. +. Chambers Ii on. j. b. Ecclcston
and Col. Jos. Wickcs, of this county. Bv
what authority the editor Of the Dcmocra t
hn pI haze, IN,
ton with this matter, is unknown to us. But
this much we do know that so far as some
tii not ally Of the gentlemen are concerned, a
greater libel never appeared in the columns Of
that delectablc sheet.
Our letter, on the subject, from Chester
town, can be soon by any one who calls
on us for that purpose.
If The Democrat wants to publish
names let it not trump up list of men
who opposed the American Party last
fall. Let it make up Il list of the mon
who made Il change in this Congressional
District Of t,cc@iy-ejgM hu~drcA n@d
eighiy-eight in favor Of the American
ticket; let it 90 to the plough handles,
to the quiet country homes, to the
shops Of the mechanics, to the true mon
everywhere around, and i'll lis co!NmaS
with list Of names that spoke in
thunder tones the defeat of locotocoism
last fall. These are the mcn-thcir
name is Legion--who will Shake with an
icy fear the souls of Buchanan and his
party at the coming election. They arc
not found among the Office fed members
of the wing party, now elsewhere turn
ING when their old source of powcrau pay
fails them-tEcy arc the living people of
| the land--thc men who say "Amcricans
shall rule America ''-:sThc Union, now
and-forcvcr." Towards these principles,
as towards Il morning star, their faces
arc turncd-thc qubblcs got up to dis
tract weak men are unnoticed or unrc-
gardcd--straisht to the issue they urge
their way, aud mark, my boys! thoir
vote in next November. ...
