Correspondence Of The Cecil Whig.l


Mr. EDITOR On Friday the 10th inst, we
were visited by a slight rain which increased
after night, when it came down in torrents,
accompanied by a terrific gale of wind -
During Saturday the storm continued una.
bated ; prostrating the corn to the ground,
and playing havoc with trees and fences, and
driving boats from their mourings.
The farmers of this section of the county.
will not realize as large crop of corn as they
expected in the early part of the season.
The dry weather has prevented 1t from com.
ing to maturity. However this can be borne
as the average crop of wheat is far beyond
that of several preceding seasons.
The Public school of this town is in Wig
orous and thriving condition under the able
instructor of youth, Mr.. Samuel Tammany
All are loud in applauding this noble ,nstitu.
ton, where the poor can receive an education
equal 10 the rich.
The Americans Of the 5th, present an undi-
vlded 'front.' the county nominations are gor.
ously received, and the locotocos even admit
that better ticket could not be presen ted for
the suffrages Of the people; we have girded on
the armour to meet them and keep them in
remembrance of the motto. that Americans
shall rule. There are number of the oppo.
site party, to my own knowledge, who will
support the American ticket this fail who
have heretofore voted the entire locofoco
ticket. They have become disguised with
the corrupt and imbecile administration of
buchanan An. The financial crisis of 81 and

compton constitution &c. They will enter
with us this fall to help elect our county and
state ticket, and next fall to dethrone party
that has disgraced the nation. So you may
rest assured of the 9Th giving an unusual
majority for the entire ticket

C-"The nominations by the County Go

G-"The nominations by the County Con.
vention are highly approved" So writes an
intelligent citizen of the First District. and
sucn is the information which reaches us
daily from all parts of the county. Undoubt-
eddy it is first rate ticket, and such a one as
our friends in every District can and will
work for. Men of the Opposition put your
shoulders to the wheel. See that your neigh
bors are not led away by falschoods, with
which unpr;ncipled locofocos always flood the
county. Denounce as a lie everything you
hear to the dscrcdt Of our candidates, and
you viii be certain to be right.

A VALUABLE MAP.-Nr, John

A VALUABLE MAp.-Mr. John T..
Gillette, an experienced publisher of maps,
has nearly completed under the supervision
experienced surveyors, a map, entitled a
" Vicinity Map" ofPhiladelphia. 1t embraces
an area ofabout i ,000 square miles, comprised
in circle of from G5 to 20 miles around that
city and including within its bounds, Elkton
and Chesapeake City and a considerable
portion Of this county, lying towards the
northeastern corner. The Elk creeks and all
the roads, so far as the map extends, are ac-
curately laid down, from new surveys. The
above named towns are plotted so as to show
all the streets, and all tho houses with all the
owners names. All the country houses are
laid down in their exact places with the names
ofthe owners attached. This map will lbe highly
valuable to our citizens, as it will show at one
view the contiguous portions of Pa, Del and
New Jersey, on large scale. Mr. Pomerov,
one OF the gentlemen engaged on the map, is
here at present, making the final corrections of
names, &C., so as to ensure an exact man of
our town and vicinity. Equal pains will be
taken with every other ncighborhood. We
commend this map to the attention of our
citizens.

GIVING IT Ur.-We find the following in

GIVING IT Ur.--We find the following in
the Cecil Democrat of last week:
''llaving been thrice defeated, and with q
clear majority aga inst us in the county, it is
evident that our only hope of success is in the
personal strength and undoubted capacity of
the men VIC nominate"
Our opponents, although they might have
made stronger ticket, have nevertheless pre-
sented to the county good ticket, and We
can only hope to defeat this ticket by presen-
ting on Tuesday next, still better one"
1t being admitted, even by the locoroco
party, that their ticket is far from being equal
to ours in either personal strength or capacity,
that "only hope" is gone, and the contest may
be considered virtually abandoned by the
Democrat, whatever its professions and asser.
tons Shall be during the campaign.

THE LoCoFoco TIcKET.-The Blu
chanan party of this county announced,
early i'll the season, their intention to
hold off making their nominations until
our party should make theirs, and then,
they said, they would check-mate us
In due season the Americans and Oppo-
sition men of the county met together
in Convention and presented to the
people their ticket, headed by DAVID
ScoTT, one of the truest sons of Cecil
a man honest, capable and diligent. In
five days therefor, with hasty tread, the
locofocos follow with their convention,
and, Voting Men of Cecil !! behold below
the names of the men they have placed
before you to claim your sufrrages,
instead of the ticket printed at the head
of this column.
For State Senate John Joseph Heckart.
For House of Deieeotrs John W. Caldwell,
James W. Maxwell VIM. r. Miller.
For States attorney; John b. Rowan.
For Sheriff: James W. Oldham.
For County Commissioners James NJ.
Evans, VIM. Beatty. Walter Armstrong.
For o, plans Court Noble Biddle, William
Torbcrt. Levi II. Evans.
For County Surveyor; John T. Jannncy.
Such is the ticket as named to u.s.
That there are few, land very few,)
men on it fit for the Offices for which they
are nominated is beyond question. But,
to take the ticket as whole, it does not
compare with ours. 1t is a pretty
check-mate! 1t is not our intention to
speak of the men who compose it, indi-
vidually; but we do invite the voters of
the county, of all parties, to examine
their fitness and their claims individually
and together; to compare them with the
men presented by our side, and we will
be entirely satisfied with the result of
the examination. 1t will, in our belief,
lead to the certain election Of the men
offered by our convention. In fact, the
leading Democrats themselves, admit
that we have greatly the advantage of
them in the men, and surely we have
the advantage of them in our majority in
the county, and in the existing DISPOSE
ton on the part of the people to throw
off the Buchanan incubus which now
Expresses the energies Of the country
So boys, cup and at 'em' and our success
is complete. ..ErNEF...

GAME AND GUNNING.-The ra,l, or
sora, as it is called in Virginia, is now abundant
in the marshes along L Tx ri liver, and hundreds
ifnot thousands are killed, within few miles
Of Elkton, on every high tide. A single
gunner not unfrequently kills from 100 to 200
on single tide. The reed-birds are a lso
beginning to come and in a few days will be
here in abundance.
On the LIST Of October the law permits the
shooting of cartridges, and a. they are quite
plentiful, the gunners will have fine sport
We observe that some of our farmers are
already beginning to notify gunners against
trespassng on their premises. This is neces
sary to prevent the birds from being all shot
for the city markets, before the owners ofthe
lands where they are reared are through with
their fall work and get time to have shot at
them. The fifteenth day Of January closes
the lawful season for shooting cartridges,
pheasants or woodcock; the law only prevails
in Cecil, Howard, St. Mary's, Somerset,
Queen AIMS and Dorchester counties. Port
Deposit sportsmcn can shoot th, month as
much as they please over the river.

BALTIMORE. The Ccci. Democrat, of last
week true to the plan of the general locofoco
attack on Baltimore City, for the purpose of
breaking down the American party. or in
case of failure to do that--of breaking down
the business Of the city, comments on the
speech of MIR. Davis, where he says:
"But is the condition of the city 50 'dcplo.
rable." utterly deny it.
There is nothing whatever exceptional or
extraordinary in the condition of the city,
whether it be compared with New York or
Philadelphia, or with its own former condi-
ton, except that its present condition is in
many respects better now than four years
ago, when the American party trumphed in
it,"
In its comments it says:
THE whole country has for four years been
excited over Baltimore Oulrages: newspaper
editors everywhere, when they wanted an
item Horrible" have taken Baltimore
paper. and cut indiscriminately, and yet it is
all q deluslon."
The infamous attacks of the locofoco press
upon Baltimore, with the known purpose of
breaking down Its trade unless it returns to
locofocoism, ale beginning to be understood
by the people Long ago the Democrats Of
Baltimore destroyed the office of newspaper

from it by the neck, and afterwards put him
