The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1862-06-07

saying that the old ship OF democracy
whicE had wcathercd SO many storms
was scuttled and sunk by pirates and
robbers, caittay Themselves dcmocyats.-
And Buchanan, Cobb, Floyd, Thompson
Touccy, Il Co., who we're among the
" democratic men " who ruled the coun-
try for forty-eight years, and "pre-
served the government in all its vigor
and integrity" were the chiefs of this
piracy. The old ship is, therefore, lost
she went down amid the walls of honest
hearted patr,ot,c democrats Throughout the
country, and the great Douglas, ill at
the helm, went down with her! If we
have another democratic ship, she must
be newly built and manned. Many Of the
old crew cannot be trusted. But they
say that fifteen months ago compromise
would have saved the Union Now we
know that eighteen months ago the
Union was broken by the act of South
Carolina. But why blame the Republic
cans for the failure of the Crit endcn
Compromise, when the seeding Repre-
sentatives left Congress for fear it would
pass And, furthermore, did these
same traitors not say, two years ago,
that the day of compromise had gone by?
And did not ou,hern traitors (among
them old John Tylcr) in the Peace Con-
gress, say the same thing! But these
gentlemen blame the Republicans for
every thing. "Thcy are responsible for
this war;" &c. Did they commence it .
Did they break up the Democratic party?
Did they nominate John G. Breckin-
ridge and run him for the Presidency ?
The traitors of the South did these
things, and they began the war in
Charleston harbor do these "fourtccn "
gentlemen remember it But if these
gentlemen are so wonderfully patriotic,
so much so that their skins are almost
bursting with pure love of country, flag,
&c., why is it that they have not even
one harsh word for the only persons who
are in arms against the pcrpetuity of
the Juntry and against the hon + of our
gaori,us flag! Not one word is said
against the he and shc-dcvils of the
South, who have inbrucd their hands in
the blood of the innocent ! have care.
fully looked through this address, and
L do not find single sentence condcm-
natory of he worse than barbarians who
have, while pretending to be governed
by the rules of honorable warfare, MUIR
dered hundreds and thousands of woun-
ded democrats on ,hc field of bat lie and
elsewhere, who have hung and shot ioyai
democrats in the South, sequestered
their property and turned their wives
aud LILLE children out in the midst of
cod and orm 10 starve aud die And
who have taken the skull bones of demo-
Gratis (who have fallen in battle, defend
ing the integrity of the nation and the
honor of is aag,) and have usod them
for drinking cups Why is it that these
men who take upon themselves the
authority to address the dcmocra of
the United Sta es, have not word of
censure for these incarnatc fiends
But not wishing to make this commu-
nication too long, close for the present,
promising 10 resume the subject, with
your permission, next week as will
merely add that am dcmocrat-havc
always bccn--intend always to be ; but
| want the substance, and not the mere
name. will further add, that this
"address" meets the hearty appreciation
of every traitor in the country, and this
is another reason why | hate it.
Yours truly, T..
