The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1859-10-29

GIVE have just bsen informed chat the
old yclp Of abolitionism is to be raised against
some of our candidates this week and Monday
and Tuesday, in the lst and End Distrcts.-
Locolosoism has tried that game down there
ever since 1910. Harrison, Clay, Scott and
Fillmore, were denounced as abolitionists-
so have been our State and county candidates
from year to year. The trick is worn cut -
Ii is not worth repeating OF denying.
We are also told that g mGiconiem" OF
this town has said : " something would be
started in the lower DISTRICTS just before the
election, that would fix Scott" 1t is certain
it will lie lie if he starts it; and it will be
a lie whoever starts it. Any story that
Scott is not a noble, manly and uplight
man, a working man aud friend Of the poor,
and true citizen of this county and State, is
falsehood let it spring whence it may.
On Tuesday last Mr.. Preston made this
charge Of Abolitionism against the American
party at Towsontown, Mr.. Harris, in his
reply said:
Z" He said he charged, and was ready to
prove. that the democratic party to-day stood
infinitely nearer the Republicans than the
Americans, As Minerva sprung full armed
from the brain of Jovc, so had the Free Soil
or Republican party sprung from the demo.
cratic party. This new party was not known
previous to the celebrated bolt of Martin
Van Buren,, the Sage of K,nderhook, vixen
Gen CasS heat him in the Baltimore conven-
"a, l.f.. nj R,l
Buren, called the memorable Buffalo conven-
ton and this was the Alpha of Re puhli-
canism. The Buffalo convention declared its
bitter opposition to the extention of slavery
and this was the Republican doctrine to-day
Who was David Wmot, the father of the
celebrated proviso which has brought about
Who is Mr.. Grow, violent Republican g.
A Pennsy lvania democrat. Who sent Sir.
Hale to the United States Senate! The
democratic Legislature Of New Hampshire
Who sent Charles Summertime worst and
the most dangerous Of them all IN this conncc-
ton, to the Senate? The democratic Legis-
| lature of Ma sS'chusetts. Who sent Robert
Rantoul to Congress The democratic voters
Of Massachusetts. How came Stuart Harlan
and other Republicans to get into the councils,
of the nation They were sent there by the
democrats of their respective States Who
Sert Rceder, the trre-soil Governor to Kansas!
Mr. Pierce, the democratic President. Show
me where and in what manner the American
party has ever became SO affiliated with the
Republicans Now, continued Mr.. Harris,
let us turn to some Of the many resolutions
adopted by democratic conventions The
democratic convention in Ohio, January 9Th
1855, resolved tina; the party in that State
look upon slavery as an evil and will use all
means in its power to prevent its increase and
finally to eradicate it, This is exactly
what Mr.. Seward Of New York says and
| although that gentleman al'rdges that he
would not invade the sanctity OF the Consti-
tuition. yet he is far the worst foe to slavery
from the marshes OF Florida to the wilds OF
New Hampshire. According TO ills new
tangled democracy what is treason in the
South is sound doctrine In the North. This
is the harmonious democracy Of the present
dav.
