CHE Cecil ll)t)ia.
ELKToN, NOVEMBER 10. 1850.

. UThe Presidential contest is over,
and as has been generally expected since
the October elections, -particularly that
of Pennsylvania, Abraham Lincoln and
Hannibal Hamlin are chosen, by large
plurality of the popular vote, to conduct
the affairs of the government for the next
four years. This choice having been
constitutionally made, it becomes our
duty as good citizens to stand by the
President elect, the chosen head of the
government, no matter how much we
may regret that the result was not in
favor of our own candidate.
The success of the Breckenridge party
in our own State, brought about by the
use of large sums Of money to buy off the
foreign Douglas and Lincoln vote in
Baltimore city, and thus secure its con-
centration upon Breckenridge, and also
by the throwing away of about 1900
votes in the State for Lincoln, Is partic-
ularly to be regretted. On the other
hand it is source of congratulation that,
by the aid of the Union Douglas men,
who, under the most unfavorable circum-
stances, stood unAinchingly by their
principles and candidates, we have, out
side Of Baltimore, majority of nearly
2OOO votes. We congratulate the
Union men Of Cecil county that they
have so largely contributed TO that result
by their unexpectedly large plurality of
2S6 for Bell.
1t remains for us now, with joined
hands and closed ranks, to rally to the
support of i" the Union the Cons titution
and the enforcement of the Laws" I'M
der an Executive, who, though not our
choice, is the choice of a large plurality,
at least Of the voters of the country.

Local Affairs.

1.-THE heavy rain and freshet on
Saturday last occasoned, in different portions
of the county, considerable damage to the
roads, bridges and mill dams. Up to
Wedne sday We hear Of damage sustained by
Marley, and Parkc, Smith x Co.'S dams, and
the washing away ola number ofsmaliib
One OF the abntments olthc bridge at Mackall's
mill had quite breach made in it by float
ing log, it is supposed. The roadways to the
new bridge at the Red MILL which were in an
unfinished condition, were washed away to a
considerable extent occasioning considerable
loss to the contractor. The county roads in
every direction suffered considerably, and
much expense to he county is undoubtedly
incurred thereby.

How TO SELECT FLoug. - FIRST, look at the
color: if it is white, with slightly yellow
iSh or straw colored tint, buy it. If it is.
very white, with q blaish cast or with black
spccks in it, refuse It, Second, examine its
adhesivencss: wet and knead little of it
between your fingers if it works soft and
stieky,it is poor. Third, throw a little
lump of dry flour against dry, smooth, per-
pendlcular surface; lift falls like powder, it
Is bad. Fourth, squeeze some Of the -four in
your hand: if 1t retains the shape given by
the pressure, that 100, is good sign. Flour
that will stand all these tests it is safe to buy,
Those modes are given by old flour Dealers
and they pertain to'a matter that concerns
ey'rybody, namely, the staff of life.

the following reference to the Grabbing
Machine and Stump Extractor of J. b. Ash,
Esq, of this town. By the same paper of
Saturday last we see Mr.. Ash was awarded a
diploma for his grubbing machine.
Mr.. Jacob B. Ash, of EIkton Cecil county,
Nd, exhibits the first and only Grabbing
Machine patented in the United Statcs-
This specimen of mechanical ingenuity is
quite simple in its construction, and therefore
not easily disorganized, and has thus far
proven of great value in cleaning ground of
roots and other distractions. He also eX-
hibits Stump Extractor and a machine for
moving houses, all of his own Invention. 1t
is Claimed for this latter that, by the simple
principle of leverage two men can exert more
power than three hundred horses. The Com
mittee on such productions have bestowed
much time and attention to an examination of
Mr.. Ash's apparatus, and will doubtless award
premiums for them.
