The Lnttery Subject.

For some two or three weeks past, reports
have reached rs that certain locofocos in
several parts ofthe county, had circulated the
story that the lottery inca had sent money to
this county to assist our Legislative ticket,
so as to have our Senator and Delegates in
favor of lotteries, when they go to Annapolis
this winter.
Knowing that the characters of Messys
Scott, Wilson, Mc!ntire and Taylor, were
such as to hold them entirely above the sus-
picion Of fayoring lotteries, and not being SO
certain that the whole Of the legislative part
ofthe locoioco II cket was SO decidedly opposed
to lotteries, we supposed it might be a sort of
" stop-lhief" deception, and that if any body
had any money belonging to lottery men it
against the American party and we let it
pass, under the belief that truth and right
aud noble men would triumph over them and
their money.
The same story came to the cars Of Mr.
Scott, and he promptly, at North East, and
elsewhere, from the hastings, denounced the
story and pledged himself and our candidates
for the House Of Delegates against lutteries.-
This was well but If it had not been done,
there is no man in the county who knows
MIR. Scott, or the delegates, that would for a
moment credit the story
Subsequently, during the past week, as
we are informed, this lottery charge has been
made in this district by man who is against
the American ticket in part or in whole
We have to say that the charge is false and
that if any party or any individual of any
party has any money from lottery men, it is a
locofoco or ocofocos.
Every voter Of this county will readily feel
assured from the habits, occupations aud
course of life of the men composing the tickets
for the Senate and House of Delegates, that if
any among the whole eight are in favor of
lotteries. or could be induced to favor lotteries
they would not be found on the American
ticket. The character Of the American car
didateS totally bids the idea that they have
been Or possibly can be influenced in favor of
lotteries.

Look out for Lies.

The election is close at nand /; now is the
time that all sorts of false accusations will be
brought against our candidates, with the
hope that the time win be too short to con-
tradict them. Stories to theiriAlry are now
atloat against some o + them. which are with
out shadow of foundation. Wherever they
could be got at they have been promptly put
down by proving their falsity. American
Voters men of the Opposition you have
u ticket composed Of men of intelligence and
the highest integrity; let their characters
protect them against all the reports which
may be circulated to their detIiment. They
are men who ought 10 stand above rcproach-
if there are any safe men in the county, we
have them ON our ticket for the Senate and
House Of Delegates. Citizens Voters sup
port them as men worthy Of old Cecil coauty

We had elsewhere, as we supposed
referred sufficiently to the Lottery Question,
now being agtated in the county. but hav-
ing been informed that MIR. Heckart has been
asserting about the county that Mr.. Scott
voted, when in the Legislature, in favor of
lotteries, or for law the effect of which was
to favor the lottery business; and it being
statcdthat he asserted this thing in this town
yesterday, we refer to it to say that any
such charge is without foundation. Mr.. Scott
never gave any vote of the kind. When he
was in the Legislature two acts were passed
in reference to lotteries; one, chapter 2s
QS56) To prevent the introduction into
this state of fraudulent Lotteries and Lottery
Tickets which, blouse journal page 10
and 1907 passed, yeas 81 none in the mega.
tive: Scott voted for this with every other
member who voted at all and the bill is
against lotteries, and in no way in their
favor.
The other, tChaptcr 1876, 1856 y "An Act
more efcctually to prevent Gambling," in
cluded among the provisions of which was
one to prevent the insuring of lottery tickets
or what were known as lottery policies. -
The passage Of this law against Gambling
and lottery policies was urged by the people
of Baltimore. and as the reader will see, BY
turning to it, it was an important law for the
suppression of one of the worst Of vices
This law passed by vote Of As yeas and
none in the negative; Mr.. Scott, with all
who voted. voted for this act. Mr. Heckart,
may take issue with Mr.. Scott on this subject,
and, it is more than probable, that if he had
been there he would not hare rofcd, as Scott
did, for the act to prcrem Gambling.
We are informed that when Mr.. Ieckart
was in the legislature he did vote for lottery
acts; but, if he did, he will not get there
soon TO vote for any more.

The CecH Democrat, the Saturday after our
our ticket was nominated, alarmed at the
character and strength Of the ticket named by
our Convention, made the following remarks,
in the hope of inducing tire locofoco Convcn-
lion, then about to assemble, to bring out the
best men their party afforded: -
" Having been thrice defeated, and with a
clear ma iority against us in the county. it is
evident that our only hope of success is in the
personal strength and undoubted capacity of
the men we nominate"
8. Our opponents, although they might have
made stronger ticket. have neverthu less pre-
scented to the county good ticket, and we
can oniy hope to defeat this ticket, by present.
ing on Tuesday next, a still better one"
Their Convention met and not being able
to induce any of their strong men to accept
nominations, they brought their ticket now
before the people. Well-they are men
whose " strength and capacity" is not only
doubted hut denied, by many of their own
party. Instead Of being a still better ticket
than ours, it is admitted, on all sides, to be
far from being equalloit. So, by the showing
of the Democrat, there Is no hope of electing
il. 1t is, i'll fact, as the votes will show, a
weak ticket without chance of success.

D5@The Iarper's Ferry excitement has
subsidized, it is now fully ascer.ainod that
''Old Brown " had failed to enlist any slaves
in his Instruction or even to run any off. -
1t was the mad work of few clazed men
who had been school"d to violence in the hor-
der warfare Of Kansas, and who received
countcnancc from few equally foolish people
in the Northern and western states. BY the
time the miserable men who were engaged n
the foray and who survived the conflict, have
paid the penalty Of their crime a lesson will
have been taught their abettorS which, most
likely, will prevent the occurrence any sim
liar outrage.
Old Brown and his living conrcdcratcs who
were taken prisoners have had preliminary
examination by the Virginia authorities, and
have been fully committed for trial. Cock
and lIaslct, who escaped, have been captured
in Pcnnsylvan ia and are to be taken to Nr-
ginia for trial.
Some of the locofoco papers in Baltimore
and clsew here. are trying to make political
capital ont of this outbreak to favor locofoco.
ism in this state. 1t is a paltry attempt Of
the smallest small-beer politicians. The
Americans of Maryland are as true men and as
good men as the locofocos and when it comes
to the test, possibly a little ,ruer than those
who have been traducing them. We gave a
statement last week from a diary found among
the effects of the insurrectioniSts which showed
that they were (the white men among them, J
equally divided between the Republicans and
the Democrats, and not a single American
among them. This is the fact as stated; we
do not give it for the purpose Of charging
either of those parties, with being concerned
in the ilarper's Ferry affair, but merely as a
set-olf to the charges made by some unscru
lous locoloco presses.
