Civilian & telegraph. [volume] (Cumberland, Md.) 1859-1875, 1860-10-25


to pass without addressing few words to
those, If, indeed. any such still remained, who
while protesting friendship for j. Bell, were
vet willing to make common cause with their
lifelong enemes--enemes equally to the peae,
and prosperity of The country-by combu-
ing in what is known Us fusion with the
double-headed Democracy. 1t was to such
if any could be found since the recent cleo
ton, that he desired particularly to address
hmself-For the reason that he also avowed
his willingness before his own people to
give John Bell his support, so Ion as he
should be satisfied that in doing 90 his vote
was to be made effective for the overthrow of
Democracy, whenever the time came that he
should be convinced any vote he might give
was not so to result or was to be considered
either 40 an alternative vote for Mr. Douglas
or Mr. Breckenridge he should most certainly
withhold it altogether or give it to another.
But whilst this was the controlling motive
with him-the one which would influence
his Judgment aud determine his action in the
section where he resided, he was surprised
and panied to fluid that in New jersey, and
elsewhere ia the North, Mr.. Bells protested
friends were making common cause with that
same Democracy which he was thus anxious
to put down. And they were doing this, too
not simply in respect to its bearing upon
the Presidential question, for they were even
then tusiI,g with disuuion and squatter SOW
treign Democrats in opposition to the PeO-
ele's party of New jersey in respect to their
Conpressnen, as they had so shamefuly done
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. 1t was in
this way, and by such an unnatural and IN
holy alliance, that they were hoping to ac-
compliSh the defeat of Messrs. Pennington
and Nixon.
As a member Of the opposition party of
Maryland he was there to raise his voice and
enter his protest against it, in the name and on
behalf OF the nearly or quite unanimous voice
Of that Opposition i'll the city and county in
which he resided he protested against it
He solicited the particular attention OF any
Bell Everett fusiOnists to tho ground upon
which he raised his protest in the name of
his people. 1t could not have escaped the
attention Of these men, how it had been as
serted that the election Of John Sherman, or
any supporters of his, to the Speakership Of
the House Of Representatives, would be regar-
I'd as cause for secession. Nor could it be
forgotten what execrations were heapcd upon
the pure, patriotic and eloquent Davis. for
