HIGHLY ACCOMMODATES THE fol-
lowing paragraph, cut from the Stafe
Rights .7drocate, the locofoco paper of
Queen AIMS county, has been handed
US as handsome sample of the highly
accommodating spirit of the Sham De-
mocracy in its warfare of shains, tricks
and receptions
Ga QUESTION ANSWERED. The question
has been askeAss, is Col. John C. Groome a
ing or Democratic candidate for Governor!
Our answer is that he is either or both, lust
as those VINO start the enquiry may please to
consider him.
A man may sometimes have reason to
cry " God save Inc from my friends ~
even when they are real friends. What
the Colonel ought to say to those politi-
cal sharks, who, as pretended friends,
are .devouring him by such annuncia-
Citations as the above, we leave time to
determine but that the above, in fact,
amounts to warning to both the Wings
and Democrats to shun him as Il candi-
date without fixed principles or position
in politics, will not be doubted by the
general reader.

VOLCANIC ERurlIoN". = We learn from a
gentleman who left the Sandwich Islands
about fifty days since, that just before he took
his departure news was received that the
volcano of Mauna Loa. on the Island of IIa-
wall, had again become fcarfuly active, and
as the lava discharged at the last eruption APP
preached within about seven miles of the
village of lIio, filling up the unevenncss of
the surface down TO that point, distance of
GO or 10 miles from the crater. there was
great apprehension that the present eruption
would either bury that village entirely, or
undermine 1t and carry into the sea. N. Y.

Mr.. EDITOR - Our village so long quiet

lighted again, as of old by the btumnous
blaze. Mccullough 4 Co.'S newly repaired
Rolling Mill is again in active operation.
The mechanics have commenced work at
the bridge over Basin Run this is a work Of
considerable importance to this ncighhorhood
particularly during the winter season. as the
fo'ding is frequently impossible on account
of high water and ice.
had intended to call attention to the con-
dilion of the roof of the bridge over the DC
torara at this place but the vigilant County
Commissioner in this vicinity has alre aty TIA
ken steps to have it re-roolcd.
The heavy rains of last week were quite
destructive on Stone Run. One dam bclon-
sing to Amos Moore were swept away ; Il
bridge near William Moorc's Mill and sever
al foot logs shared the same fate and the
damage to the roads was immense. Suppose
it will require the whole of one years allow
ance to make them in as good order as leforc
the ram. The supervisors scarcely know
where to begin to mend them and many per-
sons are clamorous about their neglect. =.

For The Cecil Hhig
About that $500.

Mr.. EDlroR - A correspondent of The
Democrat, asks if Mr.. James McCau.ev ever
received the $500 levied to assist in making n
map of the county. Perhaps if he were to
consult the books of the county, or some sub
scquent Report Of the Commissioners he would
find what became Of it. Mr.. McCaulcv ne
yer proceeded with the map and never rccei-
we'd iarthing of the money levied, all Of
which, he will find, on examination, was APP
piled to proper and legitimate uses. when t
was found VI. McC., declined making the
map.
BY the way, can this writer IN" tel any
thing about certain $4,000 Of which there
was some talk four or five years ago! That
was much larger and more interesting sum-
with an Interesting history withal. 0.

To the Editor of the Cecil Whig

SlR:-A letter published in The Baltimore
clipper, dated Chesapeake City. August
18th, and Signed - American" contained
the following paragraphs:
4" His opponent in the Convention, Il. +.
May, ESD. is a good American, but uniortu-
nately for him in the opinion of the people,
his Fathers aIiti-slavery sentiments and his
apparent concurrence in them, will operate
against him.'
Surely .imernu. must be stranger in
Cecil county, otherwise he would not have
penncd the above erroneous paragraph, since
1t is a we'll known fact that the father of b.
F. May, Esq Eas been dead for thirty one
years, TRUTH.
IL We observed the letter in the
Clipper from which the above extract is
made and intended to notice it. After
enquiring in relation to it, we learn that
the writer was Il young man from Balti-
more, unacqpainted in the county, and,
also, that the words "his ,father's," are.
misprint, and were not intended to be
used by him. But after all, it is of no
consequence, it being well known that
B. Il. May, Esq, has no more sympathy
with " anti-slayery sentiments" than
Il. Z. Sluyter, Esq, the other party
spoken Of by the writer as the op ,onent
of Mr.. May for the Registers Office
Neither of these gentlemen can be ex-
ccptionable to any part of the people Of
the county on the ground indicated.
Since the above was put in type,
we received a letter from Chesapeake
City, partly on the same subject, which
