Hon. ii. Winter Davis for his reccns able eff
forts in the judicial tribunals OF the State in
behalf of the new Constitution, an effort
which fifty closcdl his labors for emancipa.
ton in Maryland, begun on the 10th of June,
1863.
Rcsolred, That the estimate placed upon
his excellenCy, A. W. bradford. by this
county, in 1861, when he WAS our first choice
for Governor, is fully borne out by the prom
iscs. wisdom and prudence which he has
shown in his recent procIamation declaring
the adoption of the new Constitutions
Res.iced, That we recognize in the nomi-
nation of Judge Chambers as the candidate
Of the Rebel party in Maryland for Govern
or. the determination of that party to place
the State in the hands of Southern traitors,
purpose to which Judge Chambers has
given his untiring labor, since the election
of Mr.. Lincoln.
Resolrei, That the recent action of Judge
Chambers in endeavoriug by the use of le-
gal trcnicalities and requirements to deprive
our brave soldiers in the field of the right of
suffrage, meets with the indignant condcm-
nation of this meeting, and may be regarded
as an evidence of the kind of ..sympathvr
extended to the soldiers by the advocates Of
Chicago.

foe. while those rencgadcs from Cecil assist

Resolred, That we, the Union men of the
Third Election District, will not tolerate the
presence among us of any returned traitor
who may have escaped. or been otherwise

Beware Of Comprehend Lies.

We understand that the Copperheads, in
this county, are trying to make capital out
of the. New York forgery of the soldiers
vote. By reference to our first page Il state
ment of that infamous attempt to make the
mouldcring hands of the brave men who
have laid down their lives for the country
cast votes against the principles they died to
uphold, will be found.
The traitors in the rear having been foiled
by the discovery of their plot to stuff the
ballot boxes with tens of thousands of dead
soldiers votes for Mcclellan, they now turn
with the cool impudence of Falstaf, or the
desperation of the arbitrator Bcezebub,
and attempt to charge their crime home up
on the Union party; although the dry goods
boxes full of votes that have been discovered
were filled with Mcclellan votes, and the
letters of real soldiers that were found to
have been opened had the Lincoln ballots
extracted thcrefroRl and replaced with Nc
Clellan votes. And although the agents
convicted and imprisoned for the crime of
attempting to tamper with the elective fran
chise, were appointed by Governor Seymour,
of New York, than whom jeff Davis and
the Southern rebellion have no warmer
friend, holding Office by Democratic votes,
in any of the loyal States.
We have been creditably informed, that
Mr.. Mccullough is, with others. making use
of this Copperhead fraud, in the manner re-
fcrred to, in his electioneering opcrations.-
We warn all to be on their guard against any
such transparent cheats. Let the Union
men in every corner of the county see to it
that this bold invention Of the enemy be ex-
posed, and any candidate who may use it,
be branded as a deceiver of the unsuspect-
ing man; as a cheat, to delude the unin-

The Last Grand Rally.

During this short and exciting canvass
there has been many Grand Rallies and Mass
Meetings: but the final charge-the last
grand rally of all, which will decide for veal
or woe the great interests of this government
and nation, will be made on TUESDAY next.
The results of that day will prove whether
another instance shall be added to the old
adagc that Republics cant stand: or whether
popular government as founded on the prn-
ciples of universal Liberty by our ancestors
shall be strengthened. and the assurance with
the extinction of the rebellion, sent forth to
the down rodden beneath the feet of arts
tocracy and deSpotism. of the wide world.
that freedom, by the lights of christianity of
the nineteenth century is triumphant.
Let every voter remember that Mcclellan
is the candidate of the Rebel party both at
Richmond and in the loyal States that he
is the candidate of the British aristocracy
and the London Times, the bittcrcst foes of
the old and true Democratic party that he
is the candidate of all the crowned heads of
Europe: that the Charleston .Ncrcmy says if
he is elected an armisticc will be granted and
the Southern Confcdcracy be acknowledged
by foreign powers, and IA disgracctul peace
dictated to us by the South that Maryland
will again be ranked among the slave States
and be claimed and fought for as province
of the slave oigarchy Remember, that not
one traitor and sccessionSt that is allowed to
vote on Tuesday next but will cast his ballot
for Mcclellan. Remember, that no eve ever
saw, or ear heard IL seccssonist. or rebel, or
traitor or aristocr;,t, that did not favor. and
will not vote. if he votes at all for McClcl
Ian and his party. Remember these things.
and ask yourself the question, What business
hath Union man in such company?
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1864-11-05
a nd Conservatives.

We often see this phrase in the Copper
head newspapers. and not few are puzzled
to know the exact meaning OF it. All know
that /" Democrat means a civic ally of jeff
Davis Southern Contcderacy - political
organization in the loyal States to aid their
- Southern brethren; by words of cheer. by
Il system of wholesale espionage, by block
AIDE running. by slaudoring and thwarting
the government in every conceivable man
ner. The name Democrat they got from the
tomb stone of political party which form
erly flourished in this country, and was muir
dered at Charleston by Yaucey & Co., a
famous band of fire casters
The latter part of the phrase, however. is
not so well understood, and in order that
our readers may have a proper comprchcn-
sion of that part of the term, we will state
that Conservatives in the connection here
referred to, occupy the same position in the
Comprehend party that camp-folowcrs do in
the Rebel army. The lattcrs vocation is to
steal and plumber the dead. These Conse,'-
ratires follow the Copperhcad party and help
do odd jobs, with the hope of picking up
few political crumbs by way of rccompensc.

- We publish in this issue some ex-
tracts from Winter Davis late speech in
Philadelphia. No ADLER or more effective
speech has been made this year. His review
of Reverdy Johnson's Brooklyn speech is
fine gold. And yet with the recollection
that the Maryland Legislature elected
johnson over Davis for United States Scna-
tor, the fippenny-bit politicians of Balti
more have just nominated Col. Phelps, for
Congress, in Mr.. Davis District. We say
nothing of Col. Phelps; he may be a very
good man, but Mr.. Davis ranks among the
first American Statesmen of the day, and by
the lamentable personal bitterness of Balti-
more politicians, his services, in great
are lost to Maryland, and by that
same tactious spirit, the new Constitution
came near being defeated.
