The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1863-09-19
sviso Cabs the Mass Convention !

On the 10Th Of June, nine .uen, nearly half
Of whom We're self elected net in the Court
House, and appointed George Il. Howard, Benz
+. May, George w. Bennett, and one other,
delegates to the State Convention of the 23d
OF June; aud also appointed George r, How
ard, Benz +. May, George w. nennett, and
Two others, II county Central Committee.
These gentlemen went to Baltimore and slied
adnlision to the State Convention, but were
refused, because they did not represent the
Union men OF Cecil county. Now, bear in
mind, that this State Convention, which so
unccremoniously turned down their claims,
was not tie Goldsboro' Convention, but the
Mafit Convention, whose sympathies were al
in favor of these gentlemen, but who were
forced to turn them down because Of the utter
worthlessness of their pretensons. The Con-
vention saw al glance, that these gentlemen
had no constituency at their backs, but were
simply four marplots who had cone to Balti-
more to stite the voice Of the Unionists of
Cecil.
Thus turned down by their own friends in
these same gentlemen came back to Cecil, and
are now making another, effort to give trouble
and cause divisions among the Union men of
the county. call had been published by the
regular Central Committee, addressed to aH the
Union men of the county, whether Goldsboro'
or Maffi, men. There was not a word in the
call, which could by any sort of implication be
construed into a rejection Of any loyal man
The Central Committee desired to unite all the
true Union men, whatever might be their differ
ences upon minor questions i'll the support of
county ticket, which should give another crush
ing dc feat to the Seccssionsts. In the midst OF
this general desire Cor harmony these same men
for one of the gentlemen whose names were
associated with Them as we understand, posi-
lively refused to act with them, and the other
was not in the county, and therefore could not
act with them--come in with their evil and mis-
chievous call for q Mass County Convention
Not content with that they travelled and sent
their agents over the county to persuade Union
men not to go to the primary meetings of the
Union party, and they arc now, day after day,
industrionsly devising and enacting every
scheme Of mischief to set the brothers of the
Union family at variance one with another, and
TO create q diversion in favor of our enemies
Their only hope is to cause dissensions among
us, and carry off such number of Union men
as, when added to the solid Secession vote of
the county, will defeat the Union ticket
We beg Union men to look this matter in
the face and see ust where the mischief comes
from. We beg them as they value the respec,
Of their fellow Unionists in the State, as they
value the quiet and good order of society, as
they value the free institutions under which
they live and the Union which has been the
source of SO many blessings, to frown down
every attempt on the part of these busy mis-
chief makers, who of their own motion, without
authority or suggestion from any body, except
their own evil and discontinued associates, are
engaged in tho deyish work of creating dis
senOion among the friends of the Union.
