conservative Union sentiment which the
News speaks Of, we think it would prove an
Improbable enterprise, for The Cecil Demo-

sentiment here; and we think with good
reason. as the Ns~s understands that very.

know the Union men of Cecil consider The

do not know, but apprehend they would no,

true conservative Union sentiment" of
Cecil which the kem Nems tells us of, have
