IrA specinf meeting Of the American
State Council, will be held in Baltimore on
Thursday the sth day Of January.

ALARNED.-Somc Of the locofocos Seem to
be alarmed at the meeting of the American
County Council last week. The Democrat
has discovered movements" and "pians,"
and gives out its words Of warning. The
County Council rs no more secret body than
the ioeofoco County Central Committee. nor
are the members Of the former any more
sworn, or as much sworn as the members of
the latter. Let there I've no unreasonable
alarm-the American party Of Cecil will try
and take care Of itself without damaging any
body but locofoco Office holders and office
seekers and if these are little worsted, We
don't think the pco;,le'of the county will be
mnch grieved on their account.
