The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1862-08-02

1t is hardly necessary for me to tell You
that there is continually lurking in our midst
q band Of determined traitors, who are con-
stantly looking for some means, by force or
fraud, whereby they may aid, comfort and
assist the open Rebels now seeking to crush
US. Applause. And to those who have
observed the signs Of the times they cannot
fail to see that one among the chief instru-
mcntalitles which they use has been 10 in
siduousy and indugtriously work so as to
get up. by means Of legislative assemblies
or any other means. the Inordinate agitation
Of sectional questions, BY fraudulent and
distorted and exaggerated views of national
policy. as applied to subjects of State gov
eminent for the purpose Of dividing por-
ton of the loyal element. This was very
papable on the question coming up in Con-
"ress for the liberation Of the slaves in the
District Of Columbia Whilst we who were
| anxious to defeat that measure bv using all
proper means for that purpose. quietly as
they may have been, those who protested a
similar purpose. who protested an extreme
anxiety for nothing else than the agitation
| that would arise from it when the act was
passed. continued and increased that agita
lion, showing concluSivcly by their temper
TINT they were not advocates of that meas

Maryland. They continued it until they saw
that the effect of their agitation was thereby
alternating the very interests for which they
protested regard, and they pursued that
agitation t. such 4 degree that the slave pro-
| perry was going rapidly to the District Of
| Columbia from the neighboring counties
and nothing arrested it but the honest inter.
position of that man who for his honesty and
patriotism now challenges the united suf.
frages of this people. mean Abraham
Lincoln. Enthusiastic applause
His interpositon, his execution of the
laws OF the nation, traug lit the reverse of the
doctrine which these political agtators were
arguing, and had made known to the slaves
that the Fugitive Slave law would be exc
cutcd there as well as in Pennsylvania
| say, my friends, that if open the halls
of our Legisl ,turc, there is every probability
that those ha Is will be approx ria ed to the
discussion of agtating topics, and after Il
discussion OF the negro question for sixty
days they will adjourn without doing any
thing else. Laughter and applause.
! There Is another suggestion, my friends,
connected with the means of supplying the
necessary quota on the part Of Maryland
towards the volunteers now arming in the
service about which | desire to say word
and that is the expediency of a draft
