tory to. the people, The candidates are all
well qualified for the Offices for which they
are nominated, and are men who stand very
high in their respective neiyhborhoods in ad-
aition to being favorably known throughout

With the hearty support Of the American
party. which includes all opposed to locfoco'
ism and foreignism. they are all sure Ola tri-
umphant election. Every man who has the
interest of the county at heart should vote for
and work fer the ticket our party has prescn

give them his hearty support They are men

How much the Cecil Democr

- How much the Cecil Democrat
seems to be afflicted because the Ameri-
can County Convention didn't nominate
anvold democrat for Office. How pathct-
ic it grows in regard to the nattcr.--
There were a number of men, who had
been democrats, i'll that Convention -
they can answer for themselves. One of
them, we know, was strongly urged to
become candidate, on account OF his
merit ana popularity but he refused Il
nomination and said the old democrats in
the American ranks did not go there
alone to get office, but were impellcd by
motives higher than those to which
the Democrat seems able to appeal. -
The reason no old democrat is Oh the
ticket is because none Of tn en- wished to
De there. But how is it that the regular
old democrats Of the county are present.
ed with a ticket, by the leaders OF the
sham democracy, ON which thefe are TWO
men who 90 lately were wings, and who,
even now, deny their affinity with locofo-
ism Perhaps this might need some
explanation in some quarters. Do these
"mastcrs" of the people, in the hope OF
getting here and there an old line whig,
undertake to crowd off old party war-
horses, and cram down the throats of old
Jackson Democrats, men who always
denounced the Old Hickory. How is
this Perhaps, we say, the Democrat
had better vouchsafe a little attention tc
this matter, at the same time that he is
so anxions about certain other democrats
who have turned down the present loco
focoism as u sham and libel on the ORR
ginal democracy.

Tho De mocrat of last week talks

The Democrat of last week talks
about Mr.. Hicks unftness for the Office
Of Governor. That paper is about the
last that should talk about unfitness :;
perhaps it might subserve its cause as.
well by showing the fitness of some of
its party's candidates in Cecil for the
Offices for which the. have been nomina-
ted. If Holiday Hicks is not a better
man than the present Govenor ever was,
we pity CUR state, and it he is not as fit
as Col. Groome, whose fitness we do not
doubt. why then a large majority of the
people arc mistaken.
The great popularity of Mr.. Hicks in
the lower counties, where he will obta in
tremendous majoritics, grows out of his
remarkable fines for every station he
has been called on to fill.

We hope to be able TO give next week,
some account of the proceedings of the Pres

can print this week is. the following from the
Baltimore Sun
THE New ScnooL PRESBYTERIAN Con-
vENTloN. This conv ention in session for
the last four Or five days in Richmond, Va,
adjourned Thursday morning about one o,
clock. We learn from the Dispatch that the
resolutions adopted during the session decide
upon a withdrawal from the New School Cen
cral Assembly: an affirmation of the ?rinci-
pie that the subject of slavery cannot be dis.
cussed in the highest Judicatory of the chur-

NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE. The Washing
ton Union states that Mr.. Hawthorne's pri-
vatc interest made it desirable for him to give
up the Liverpool Consulate and in FEBRUARY
last he sent his resignation to friend in
Washington to be placed at the disposal of
the President after his Inauguration. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Hawthorne will spend
year in Italy, and then return to educate
his chidrenl in their native land. Freedom
from the cares of office will enable this favor
ite writer to prepare and publish work
which he has been for some time contem
plating and as the Scarlet Letter followed
his retirement from office we may expect ss
an early result Of this resignation, book in
no wise inferior to that remarkable romance
in power and popularity.

= \ great game of the Locoloco Part

----- :, great game Of the Locofoco Party
is to assert broadly on all sides that the
American Party is dead everywhere except in
Maryland, and then to asl. why the people Of
a single state should attempt to uphold it.
Opposition to the terrible msrulc Of the sham
Democracy and its foreign allies, would be
reason enough TO the p eoplc of Maryland to
forever keep them down here, even il Ameri'
canism existed nowhere else.
Bat II is not truo that the American Party
is dead every where else. In the great loco
foco state of Missouri, from which we have
Just ,ccei. cd the returns, the American can
didate in a pol! Of over 60 thousand votes is
only beaten 334 yotcs, and that with all the
Judges of election against him.
In Win ington, Delaware. on Tuesday
last, where the sham Democracy have had it
their own way lately, the American candidate
for Mayor was elected by 33l majority.
So it is that the signs of life in the Amcrl-
can Party outside Of Maryland are of the most
hopeful chara ctcr.
Though, like the spirit Of liberty in the
people before and during the Revolution, it
has been dampcned and subjected to hardship
and defeats, it is noble, living, and power
ful principle, and is again showing signs ola
vigorus resuscitation. outside of our state.
which will cheer the hearts of the true sons of
Maryland and speed them on to more thor
ough and complete victory than they have
heretofore attained.
American Men of Cecil by whatever name
you may have been known, or are now
knswn, whether Old Line Wing, or Old Line
Democrat. 60 up to the work of sustaining an
American sentiment among our people. No
other way of doing this so sure as by voting
for American Candidates and thus adding to
the completeness Of the American victory.
And then see the candidates presented OH
the American ticket men every way worthy
EVERY way qualified. '...
