The Cecil Whig., 1863-06-20

- In the eyes Of the old huuker politicians
who are endeavoring to n" rule or ruin " the
Union party OF Mary land Slavery is divine
lns4ution, as we'll us al Indispensable poli.icul
element, end nnst in no way be interfercd with
1t is the Alpha and Omega Of their loyalty, and
al! their ideas Of Ci.:erisn hinge and turn upon
its ps.petuetion Ihs inevitable nigger is III.
! summnm toan,a Of their political faith and to
him every thing else must be made subseryisnt
The wishes Of the 4Gu,UUU non-sla, eholders Z.
'hs State are, with them, noLiug in comparison
with the wishes OF the 1900 shareholders. II
| The interests Of the two classes come in diiec.
! conflict. the interests of the majority must be
sacrificed to tie interests Of The minority. and
the man who asr,s to say aught against siavcIy
il, to ne their stale slang, "an .gtator or
an Abolitionisi,' ana is pursuing course
calculated TO distract and divide the Union
party" AL side issues, they tell us, must be
Ignored, and Wien their loose talk about side
issues IS aoa!yzcd it means simply, Let Cufiee
aone only this and nothing mere.
Slavery is the leaven of Unionism in their
estimation, and they can stomach nothing that
isn't highly favored with niggcr. Like the
hdeous phantom with the broken jaw and
lo'led. out tongue that eternally haunted poor
Devil Bug, it is ever before their eyes disturb
ing their happiness and peace Of mind. Wher-
ever they 60 it follows them. Il sticks out o!
every thing they see, hear, TASTE, smell, or feel
They can not by any process of reasoning rid
themselves Of the all-engrossipg idea that
Slavery is omnipotcnt; for while admitting tha,
ii is doomed, they use all their influence to keep
its loathsome carcass III our midst to annoy and
poison us with its stencil. With them this is
not the proper time to bring into State politics
this weighty aud exciting question They
would have the people dodge and ignore it. So
it was with them ten, twenty thirty years ago
80 il will be with them ten, twenty, thirty years
10 come The proper time for the discussion of
the question has never been and never will be,
if these hang back politicians orc to he tuken as
authority. Ii the people Of Maryland ignore
he Slavery question until these would-be
leaders say the proper time to discuss and set
tle it has arrived, our State will be cursed with
he pec;tl:uI institution, md our growth, pros
ler'7 and progress retarded for generations.
If our dcstinies were in the hands OF these men
we would despond for the safety Of the Union
and the preservation OF constitutional liberty
But We have faith in the people. They will
not permit the best government on Gods fair
earth 10 be overturned in order that Slavery ray
beperpetna'ed and negro ogarchy established
The Unconditional Union men of Maryland are
awake to ther own interests and the interests of
the Union, and in spite of the bowling and
whining OF demagogues, <naves and fools they
are resolved to meet the issue that has been
forced upon them, and to settle ii now and for
ever. Let the tcndor-.ooted Uni"n men and the
time-sc!ving politicians who worship Slavery,
stand from under, for niggersm in Maryland is
about played out.
