Great Expectations.

The fathers of the present Copperhead
party stole Uncle Sans treasure. ships.
forts, arscnals and arms, and then made war
on the Government. The present family Of
Copperheads, in caricature imitation of the
chivalry. picked up the old seedy garments
of the Democracy, and their watch words,
but failing with such defective tools to work
their way to office, they next attempted to
steal war thunder, by picking up that ex-
ploded shell Little Mac. Their last piece
Of petty larceny is the national colors of
the Union party-red, white and blue. Red,
white and red they have given up as a hum
bug, and the party bill-stickers were busy as
beavers the past week putting up through
the county posters for their mass meeting in
Elkton on Monday last, Of red, mhite and
blue McClellan's head was on them in
blue, which was very appropriate; for polit-
ical prospects for the gunboat General have
a decidedly cerulean appearance at present.
The next thing we suppose will make its APP

white and blue. Red, white and red, like
Beauresard, is growing decidedly out of
fashion. Great expectations fill the dreams
of the rebels, but they continue to gather
blighted hopes.

Desperation Of the Traitors.

| The following extract of a letter. received
| from friend in Havrc de Grace. dated the
18th inst. is but a fair sample of the des.
perate recklessness and utter disregard OF
the peace party Rebels in this county. and
Senator Reverdy johnson has placed his
name on that scroll of infamy which should
consign him to the disgrace and punishment
invoked by the writer Of the letter from
which we quote:
"A large number Of rebels, in this vicinity,
who have been publicly known to be such,
from the beginning of the rebellion, and
who have rejoiced with Jeff. Davis and his
minions in victory, and bitterly wept and
lamented with them in defeat have, under
the special advice and auspices of Reverdy
Johnson. as set forth in his letter to the
! traitors of Prince Georges county, pcrpe-
trated the most egregious and bare faced
perjury, that has ever. heretofore, been
known to mankind. These parties have
sworn to. and called on God to witness. the
most outrageous lies ever circulated among
men. Johnson. by his advice to the rebels
to commit perjury, should be expelled from
the Senate: and the Union men. who elect
ed him. should deaand this.
He has treated his ephemeral conversion
to Cnionism with his accustomed deceptions
Of hypocracy by his vote in the Senate
with traitors. and his recent letters. has
placed himself beneath the contempt of all
loyal men. and the miserable traitors whom.
he has induced to add, the ho,rid crime Of
perjnry. to that of treason. should have
time allowed them in the penitentiary to fully
review their past sins and if the Govern
ment don't see to it. that condign punish
ment is administered to these traitors, it will
be grossly remiss in its duty, and recreant
to the best interests of the loyal citizens of
this State"

Triumph at the Polls.

The peaceful triumph of the friends of
the Government at the polls. an account of
which will be found in this issue Ct The
Wig, will be felt as staggering blow to
the rebellion and the Rebels in arms in the
camps of Lee, Hood and Early feel that
this defeat of their friends in the loyal States
is death knell to all their fondly cherished
hopes of aid and comfort from the North by
the election of Mcclellan. The Union par
ty, where elections have been held the pres
ent week, have swept the Copperheads like
bosom of destruction, and the heavy frost
on Monday morning last was not more blight
ing to vegetation than the result of Tues
das's election has been to the Rebels South
of the Potomac and Ohio, and their friends
and allies in the loyal States.

Bad Eggs.

Some four or six years ago it was splendid
fun for the present secession party to throw
eggs at Republican speakers. On Friday
night of last week the Coppers held club
meeting in the Court House. at which were
made denunciatory speeches Of the new Con
stitution, and the most violent and abusive
epithets applied to the members of the Con-
vention who formed the new Constitution
1t was pronounced dirty job and dirty fell
lows were chosen to perform it. When this
rebel rant had been INDUCED in for quite a
considerable length of time, several rotten
eggs were sent in through the open windows,
which exploded like incendiary shells,
creating such a vlit;inous smell as cleared
the house at double quick. The eggs that
were thrown by the slaveocracy in farmer
times have returned like evil inventions to
plague them.

Result Of the Election in Cecil.

Notwithstanding the falsehoods and mis-
representations which were so industrouslv
propagated by the secession party to defeat
the adoption of the new Constitution in this
county, there is no excuse left to the patri-
otic, laboring and business men for permit
ting, and assisting too, to bring about the
shameful result of the two DAYS election in
Cecil. 1t is true that the time allowed by
the Convention to pass between it's adjourn
ment and the election was wholly insufficient
for the public to become acquainted with
the provisions of the new Constitution, and
during that short period the secession enc
mics had a fair opportunity and sufficient
time to spread among a too credulous peo
pie their falsehoods and misrepresentation:
but should not three years of the most bal.
pable and outrageous lying on the part Of
those enemies, to the new Constitution have
been sufficient warning for every honest
man to beware Of the wolves? And when
a system of universal education by common
schools, with the increase of capital, me.
chanical improvement. population and gen
eral enterprise which is guaranteed by the
new Constitution is offered to the people.
and they allow such result to be published
to the world, as their answer, we cannot
imagine how they shall in the future look
their fellow men in the face.
This Constitutional election was an appeal
to the industry and enterprise of the State
to shake off the debris of slavery that clogs
its prosperity and learning. and the langud
answer they have given, is Il burning shame
to our people, and one of the anomalies of
the age,
