Tive last week printed an article
from the Baltimore Clipper, having for
its heading title of ridicule- given by
locofocos of that day to Governor Veazcy,
Because of his patriotic stand against the
rccusant electors and their abettors in
1885. The Governor was sustained by
the Wing psrty then, and by the wings
always from that day to this.
We have before Us The Cecil Gazette
the locofoco paper of the county at
ihat day-of the next week after Gov.
VS. celebrated proclamation, in which he
is denounced in terms at once bitter,
severe and scandalous. 1t charges him
with "usurpation of power" with an ef-
fort "to sustain constitution (by un-
constitutional means,) aristocratic i'll
every featule;" with being "guiHy Of
posHive crime," &c.
Thus it was that Governor Veazey

party of the county. And prominent
among his defenders, here (f he was not
one of his Council was Col. Groomc,
who shared with him that tide of locofoco
denunciation. Yet, strange to say, we
find the very men who then denounced
Gov. Veazey, and Col. Groome and the
whole wing party in the bitterest Ian
guage, wheedling around Col. Groome
to coax him into beng candidate to
suffer a defeat none of their own men
have the nerve to Withstand, and at the
same time calling on old whigs-old
Veazey wings included-to come to their
help. And more strange to say, the COL.
seems to be listening to the serpent's
voice scducing him on to the fatal fall.
If any number of wings here were dis
posed to follow we might urge word of
warming, but fortunately for that there
is no necessity. The defamers of Gov.
Neazey--the detamers of Henry Clay
the slanderers of the whig party-the
Sham Democracy-in this their day of
distress in Maryland, deserted by thou
sands of the True Democracy, cry in
vain to old wings for help and sympathy.

DEPRESSING F5R Close Suor.-The
Richmond ) ,ath has been prominent. if it
was not the first, among southern .'Dcmocra-
tic" newspapers which attacked the Kansas
policy of Gov. Walker, taking care. however
so to elevate the guns as to range over the
heads of the Administration in Washington
aud menace only tine unfortunate official i'm
Kansas. 1t is true. this shooting at the lit
tie man away off yondcr and b'd:IHg the big
target near home did not look altogether fr,
~ even il earnest: but something was due to
appearances. Now. however. tn. mask ha
fallen. The course Of the Governor Of Kansas
was "il tally approved by the Washington
Union on TucS,l,y and the sly effort to 60 n
pei the President to remove Mr. Walker was
thus proved failure. THIS changes the
whole aspect of things. as might DC expected.
The South isthc first to receive the hos
tile tidingS. as being nearer to the centre of
''Demncratic" light. The battery is there
fore of course and instantly vcercd. Tn"
range is point black, and here is the first
shot:
If Mr.. Buchanan entertain: the idea that
he can triile with the feelings of the Southern
Democracy anil may safely defy their ven
geancc, he is at liberty to undertake the cx
pertinent. But it is hardly possible that SO
sagaciouSa politician can mistake the apologc
til; tone of few placcnrn for the genuine
voice of the Southern people though the
Southern members or-the Cabinet should in
cli,e to disparasc the spirit of the State
Rights Democracy. the distinct and emphatic
utcranre of the Georgia and Mississippi Con-
ventions would not allow of SO fatal IN error
As TO suppose that any regard for the intrgri.

iSt,a!inn, vii compel silent aruuirscencc in
the Kansas outrage If Mr. Buchanan at
tcmpts to Shield Walker. he will only expose
his own body to a mortal stroke. There is no

ciation which is now levcllcd against his APP
pointcc. But, there will be no precipitation
in tho matter. The Democracy of the South
are reluctant to identify Mr.. Buchanan with
Robert J. Walker. They will not abandon
an Administration which they brought into
power, on cquivocal evidence o its trcachcry to
the South. They are not governed by i'm
pulse. and will drmcan themselves with the
dignity and dccorum due to the gravity Cfthc
occasion. But woe bctitlc the man who mis-
takes their forbcarance. Though he lie Pre-
Sdent of the United States. with srrvilr

Southc RI Democracy.

and says The President has a right to call out

TIE DIFFERENCE. - The American part,
has boldly Set forth its principles in a platform
which it has given to all the world. and the
american press and politicians openly declare
and support those principles, as the trn"
polio. of the nation, and as the only safe
Guard against internal cruptionS aud self
destruction. - Everywhere those principles
are the same, and no where does the party
evade them, but at all times does it invite Il
free and open discussion Of them. Even
when the party itself was hidden from the
world by the veil Of sccrcsv. It's principles
were well known to all, and in their pronul-
CATION the party has in view but one object
the promotion of the best interest of all
American citizens, On the other hand, the
bogus Democracy, having no principles of
their own, fight only against Amcricanism
Read their papers and tell us if Won can find
in any Of them an advocacy of Democratic
principles. No having no principles to de-
fcnd, they employ their space and time in
waging ceascless warfare upon a party
whose strength and influence they fear, and
the potency whose PRINCIPLES they foresce

The DEAD RABBIT Democracy. When

more persons were murdered were nsigated

NrHENRY r. REYNOLDS, whom the
Americans Of Baltimore have nominated for
Commissioner of Public works, is one of ON
Cecil county boys, and Baltimore does mt hold
a clevcrer fellow, unless they've spoiled him
there since they took him away from u.s.
This nomination, however, is pledge of his
popularity and good standing there. as his
