THE BOLTER TICKET.

ONlLS W thC Slo"uCu SlulC VI Oul
inside columns last week, we were com-
PEELED to forbear any remarks on the
Bolter Ticket, having room only for the
proceedings of the "Mass Union Con-
vention,' which assembled in Elkton, On
the 10th ut., to form that ticket.
An honest bakers dozen would COM
prize the whole Of the "Mass Conven-
tion." Seriously, we are quite sure
that two dozen would embrace the whole.
of the Convention assembled on that oc-
casion, with heart intent on working di
vision, and dissension in the Union par
ty, and creating diversion in favor of
secession. There were, of course, some
forty or fifty spectators, principally
towns people, who gathered into the
Court House to keep out of the rain, and
through curiosity to witness what lengths
those enemies to the true and noble cause
for which the Union men Of this county
have commended since the breaking out of
the rebellion, would 60.
A more futile attempt to dlsorganize
powerful party than this whole move
ment of mere fraction of dissatisfied pol
ticians, was never made. The weakness
and folly of the scheme is only equaled
by the malignant intent--without the
slightest provocation or cause-to disor-
ganize the Union party of this county.
The bold impudence of publishing true
Union men on their ticket, matches the
grand conception of the whole affair.
1t was natural to suppose that the par
ties whose names were placed on their
ticket would have been consulted, and
their consent obtained before placing
them before the public, and thus i'm
peaching their patriotism, and, casting
odium upon their principles as Union
men.
In place of this being the case, how
ever, the public have notes from four Of
the parties peremptorily declining the
nomination.
So far from being Union man, one of
the candidates for County Commissioner,
disclaims any Civilization with the party,
or any other political organization now
in existence, other than the old Demo-
cratic organization" Here the writer
who is MIR. James NJ. Evans--might have
added by way of finish, swhich is now
defunct," the parricide who has stolen
that party's livery being in the South in
arms, trying to destroy the Government,
and in the North, sympathizing with the
southern blood-s aimed mons ter.
We have said this attempt of land
full of Maf1itites to get up separate
organization in this county was without
the slightest provocaton or cause.
The regularly appointed Executive
Committee for the county on a former
occasion called the Union men to assem-
cAo III pm mec'iSH, anu sciiu ucIe-
gates to County Convention to form a
county ticket. They did so, and that
ticket was placed fairly and squarely
before the people of Cecil, as the only
Union ticket that would, or could, be
acknowledged by them in the present
campaign. The little clique, that you
can count on the fingers of one hand,
after attempting to assemble County
Convention by primary meetings, on a
former occasion and receiving a most
signal rebuke from the people in every
District except ono, essay to do q deed
which the voice of the whole Union
party of the county has condemned, by
calling g. Mass Convention" thus get
ting rid of the necessity of the peoples
appointing delegates to County Con-
vention.
We hear say to the Union men of this
county have nothing to do with thebogus
affair which was gotten up at Elkton
on last Saturday week by a " commi tee
