The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1857-05-09
Tl)c Cecil lDbie.
ELKTON, MAY 0, 1857.

AS on many former occasion,
when we had referred to some pet scheme
Of the locofoccs of this county and this
State, we now find their party organ here
we'll covered again with the replies of
hest d correspondents, claiming to hail
freM here and there over the county but
located behind the desk Of some Elkton
iocofoco,) who in their zeal 10 support
what is termed an sold line phig," as a
7acctoeo candidate, make haste to meet
the effect Of the reference to their trick
and to denounce The Cecil Wing, as has
been their custom from the time it first
began to annoy and expose them.
The Wing is an sold Gner;" we'll sea-
soned to such attacksy and us ready to-
day as ever to meet the locofocos of Ce-
Gil and all their adjuncts, as in the times
past. Wherever others may be, it finds
itself where it first started doing, battle
against the sham and false democracy--
-now more radical, more locofJcois
and more objectonableto its Wing prin-
ciples than ever, and when that eoac of
Thousand Groomates" says s'why, I'M
der its present editorial influence, it
The Cecil Whig) should be called by the
time honorcd title of party whose exis-
tence is numbered with the things that
were, passes his comprehension" we re-
ply that ninefy.tirc out Of every manfred
wings of this county are with this paper
in its opposition to locofocoisn and to
those men, as politicians, who, now
acting with their former political oppo-
nen' have forfeited all claim to the
"'tn IGNORED title" of Wing, and that
thu 'ked up by the old line wings
of O. + days, we have no "reasons' to
surS y for his qualification.
We shall pass these fresh assailants
III review in few words. The paternity
Of that ".A"tcracher" is palpable, and
because of the paternity of its author we
excuse it without comment; and that
sold line wing" of the 4th district, will
have to be OF more use to the locofocos
than he was to the wings, else they will
find him poor acquisition. The other
article, professedly from Port Deposit,
claims more attention, and we remark
on the issues it presents as follows
The scheme to nominate an old line
wing for the loc9toco candidate is not
wing movement.
1t originated with locofocos.
1t is a locofoco trick.
If the old line wings of Maryland wish
ed to bring out a candidate they would
not be likely to bring out ,ohig who
voted for Buchanan.
Ii the locofocos of this State supposed
Tor an instant there was any chance of
electing their candidate for Governor,
will any one them dare to say they
would nominate an ord line wing!
If any man who was wing will allow
himself to be the candidate of tie loco
foco party, he will be held to lave left I
his whiggery, by more than nne tenths |
OF the men who constituted the whig{
party of the State.
1t any ''indignity" has been offered to I
any Hon. gentleman we conceive it to
have been done by those locofocos who
are eIldoavorng to place him in position
their own politicians unwilling to
occupy.
Those locofocos of Cecil who are try
ing to induce an old line whig of this
county to be their candidate, are by
their own avowal doing so to help their
local candidates; and should they be
successful it will be their tactics to make
the most of it.
TO trade him for Constable.
To trade him for q Clerk.
To trade him for Registcr-for
Sherif-for a Justice of the Peace.
The love of locofoco for any sort of
a wing is like the love Of the wolf for
lamb. With certain defeat before them,
("One Of Thousand" will admit we
guessed pretty tr uly as regards Mary
land,) they will save their own men and
put up (if they can get him,) a gentle
man who was a whig, for what purpose
is apparent enough.
In the mean time the Americans of
Cecil will know their duty. And those
old line wings who always opposed loco
focoisnl, and sham democracy, and polit-
