The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1858-08-07

We had thought of quoting this
week, at the little forgcr" of The Demo
crat, O'Connel's "hypothcnusc of the cube
root Of parallclopipedon - &C.. speech, by
which tumble of mathematical phrases he. on
wager, dumb-founded the most notorious
OF the Dublin fshwoman; but the filthy little
creature has sunk himself beneath the dirticst
flshwoman into toulcr DEPTH if possible,
than he had before attained. Communities
are not readily deceived; the people of any
village or community in the county have not
failed to see and to say that the most low.
"ebascd, and brutal character in its midst,
would never be guilty Of pcnung and printing
| such an article as his of last week. The
people Of this county are not mislcd by that
sort of TRADE, and before this most of them
have concluded from that article and those
which preceded it, during the last month,
! that more degraded little scoundre does
not exist among them.
AT the time we convicted him ola |" torgery''
! SO garing in its character that if it had been
OF name, instead of Il network of lies TO
It,,
art, or power of counsel could have saved
nm from the penitentiary, we placed him
before the people Of this county a disgraccd
and degraded little villain, beneath the notice
OF gentlemen, and have only referred to him
since, when as "a party organ ito use his
term-his lies against our party became too
offensive to be put up with. Since we then
proved him 50 dcbascd a wretch his personal
chastlScment was not to be thought of, unless
In case of an assault, and so, when he saws
we have threatened him, it is a fasehood
without possible foundation. We will call it
lie NO. and in order to show the shameful
disregard of truth on the part ofthe little
"forSer" during this personal controversy.
we VIII enumerate some of his lies in the
course oft.
No man in this county doubts, knowing his
previous course, that in his late abusive at
tacks on us he has presumed on our i'll health
an invalid, in bed, week after week-and
when he says we fell back on our sick bed as
retreat from his attacks, every man who has
read the papers knows he lies and let that
be called, No.2.
Nor does ordinary lying suffice him on this
point. He hears the universal hiss all around
at his brutal attack on a sick man; to parry
the blow he sees falling, he prints that :. The
Wing teemed with vilest abuse of him while
he sorrowed over the death of beloved
daughter" We have dared him to name the
date Of the death of his daughter, so that the
files might be examined he doages the
question, quits " harping on his daughter -
and thus acknowledges that he has violated
the grave and torn the cerements off his dead
child - only to prove himself hypocrite and
a pitiablc and degraded liar No. 8.
Seeing he overshot the mark when he took
this community to task for its libcrality to us,
he says he didn't intend to do so the COM
munity W i'll understand him and set it down as
lie No. 4.
When he says we were an applicant for
Secretary to the School Commissioners
we deny it and appeal to the whole nine
members Of the Board and mark it his lie
No. 5.
When he says we were turned out as Clerk
to the County Commissioners, we have the
proof in hand that he tells lie No. 6.
On the day of the convention which nomina-
ted the candidates for commissioners in 1855.
before that one known to be personally op-
posed to us was nominated, the delegate who
nominated him. came out from the convention
to consult US; mentioning the personal op-
position of the man named. We told him to
go in and nominate him, it being best to have
one old line wing on the ticket-that we
didn't want to be clerk, and would not
have the office again, under any circum-
stances. He went back to the convention
made the nomination and carried it by his ex-
ertions and vote. That delegate was James
White Clayton of this town.
At three successive elections in this district,
when the Commissioners were elected by dis
tricts whether we should be the clerk or not,
was, more than any other, the test question
The opposite party at every time had heavy
majority, yet every time it was defeated
This is fact not to be denied here
In regard to our position with our former
