(sarbliMg.

That veritablc newspaper, the Delarare
Gogeite condescends to notice, in defense of
Major Bggs the account of that Rebel
brawler given in The Wing of Saturday last.
As II garbler the obscquious editor of the
Gazette is remarkably lame. The following
quotation from The Wig is specimen:
''The ring-masters adopted the onion
colors. red, white and blue. Their show
bills, on which Mcclellan $ head appeared a
little larger than life. were got up in those
colors. all the national flags they could gath
The marshals were decked in red white and
blue, and everything was covered with that
patriotic robe.
Now read the whole paragraph from which
the above garbled quotation is cut:
'Since the world was formed there never
was a more brazen- faced piece of hypocrisy
played off, or attempted to be, than that
Coppcrhead demonstration on Monday
The secession colors red, white and red have
played out, the stars and bars are humbug:
so the ring masters adopted the Union col
ors red. white and blue. Their showbills
on which Mcclellan head appeard little
larger than life. were got up in those coors,
all the nallonat HaSS IneE cOulu gamer were
displayed. and those who so long vainly
strove to trail that banner in the dust. and
avoid walking under its proudl ywaving folds,
had to bow to its maiesty on Monday last
The marshals were decked in red. white and
blue and everything was covered with that
patriotic robe, in the vain hope to hide out
of sight the purpose to strike last blow for
the dying. dying, dying rebel cause
To apply the doughty editors words to
himself "Who but donkey would have
printed the first and left out the main por-
ton of the paragraph?
All, Caleb, Delaware will always have ii
pair of donkys while You and the Major sur
vive! The Gazette articles and the Major 5
speeches will never damage much any cause
they don't support.

The Mcclellan Ouartette,.

Since the adoption Of the new Constitu-
ton and the total route of the peace at any
plice-rehel in Pennsylvania. Ohio. and In
diana. our little Cecil Quartette begins to
show signs of WEAKNESS Politics have be-
come bore. The delights Of perjury were
sung to applauding crowds, but that oath
which whilome was q sweet morscl under
the tongue. has turned with the turning leaf
to gall and bitterness besides the 18th inst.
was the appointed day of doom for those
charmers who charmed never (so) wisely in
in the cause of political negrosm.
The night of desolaton is at hand the
winter is not past and gone. but the time OF
the singing of the Quartette is: their voice,
unlike the voice of the turtle, will no more
be heard in our land the fig tree Of Office
doth not put forth her green figs, nor the
vines, with the tender grapes, give a sweet
smell for secesh
Arise We Quartette if you can; take W
your bed if you have amy, and walk if y,
have strength left to navigate: flee from the
land of promisc--tor we want no more negro
ditties here.
Scccsh has gone up Salt river, dcsolat'
region, unbroken by the sound of harp OF
! cymbal, an admirable field for the disma
strains Of the Quartette. Arise, arise an,
go away!

God Bless the Soldiers.

The heart of every truly loyal Marylander
will join ours in saying "God bless the SOL
diers. When our State was invaded by
Rebel hordes. and our property and lives
endangered, who but they drove back those
same traitorous hordes, and bed and died
that we might not taste the cruelties of war,
and that we might still enjoy the quetude of
our peaceful homes? And, again, when
Maryland's loyal sons wished to rid her of
that nstitution-slavery- has so long
kept her groveling in the dust, and been a
curse and a drawback upon her prosperity I;
and when they had been defeated at the
ballot-box through the dishonesty, treachery
and intrigue of perjured Rebels at home,
who but they came again to the rescue, and
by their votes freed Maryland of this intol-
cradle curse, and caused her to take posi-
ton among the Free and fourishing States
of the nation? For this they deserve i'm
mortal honor and it will be recorded on
the pages of history as one of the purest,
nobcst, and most patriotic deeds of the age.

State that he has left lis and is now with the
traitors to his country, laboring for their sue
cess; that we are convinced that we are better
without him, and that it will not be long before
he will desert them and go over to some new
party not yet in existence but which he will
espouse so soon as it may have birth; that the
opinion lately announced by him was a prctext
for the rebel votes of the State to swear to wiltu
perjury in order to defeat the Free State Consti-
tuition; and that high Heaven will hold him
accountable for the deed; and that we insist that
the next Legislature shall call on him to resign
the position which he is msrepresenting.
Resoired, That we congratulate the Union
men of the State on the adoption of the Free
State Constitution as one of the first fruits of
this Rebellion, and as one of the strongest evil
dences of the loyalty of her people, and their
determination to wipe out forever the accursed
evil that has been the source and cause of this
Rebellion, and to take q new start in her career
for commerce and wealth, with the principles of
Freedom and Liberty to all men" engraven
on her brow.
Resoired, That we offer our earnest and
heartfelt sympathies TO OH brave Maryland
troops in the field, battling everywhere for the

their acts of bravery and of heroism displayed

Celebration.

The sham, counterfeit party labeled by its
own hand "Dcmocrt,n in this county. had
its hopes raised to the highest pitch on the
receipt of the returns from the slave coun
ties of Maryland. The signs indicated, in
their hoping hearts at least, that the Consti-
tuition. through the means of Reverdy John
son.perjury, had been defeated. Prepare
tons were Immediately made for grand
torchlight celebration over the triumph of
slavery, negro representation and the defeat
of free schools. But the soldiers again
coming to the rescue. their rebel hopes were
dashed to the ground, and this rare chance
for an ovation was ruined.
This party has never before. for three
years. had sufficient cause to rejoice. The
victories of our armies over the rebels have
never been sufficient to excite aught but
grief in their souls. But when the last link
which connects Maryland with the rebellion
-slavery-had apparently resisted success
fully the force to break it when the result
which the Richmond rebels had prayed so
ardently for was apparently secured, then

to outrage, and as means to cheat their
unwary followers, prepare to rejoice. Let
the laboring man. let the men who have
been induced by false professions to look
upon the party who are using Mcclellan for
a base design, mark this one fact that for
more than three long years of war against
our nationality, began and conducted by
shareholders and wholly in the cause of sla.
very, those men have found no cause of re-
ioicing till this hoped for triumph of slavery
presented itself. What the rebels in arms
pray for this opposition party to, the new
Constitution prays for, and what the rebels
rejoice over that party rejoices over also.-
Deny this who dare?

The Result in Cecil.

The result in Cecil at the late election
was tie vote. The table published in our
last issue gave majority of one for the
Constitution. The return judge of the 9Th
district did not reach Elkton till Saturday,
and in making up the table we had recourse
to the Baltimore Americdn for the vote of
that district. 1t was there stated to be 7S
for and "A against the Constitution. This
made ma jority of one in favor of its adop-
ton. The official vote Of the 9Th district
was Is for. and rs against, which make n
tie vote in the county.
With nearly a thousand men in the army
and other Government employ, and the
talsehoods circulated against the new Con-
stitution by its enemies. together with the
short time allowed before the election to
refute them, aided by the pcrjured rebel
votes, which were got into the ballot boxes
by the sugar coating prescription of the po-
litical huckster Reverdy johnson, the bright
est hopes Of Maryland came near being
postponed for the time being.
| TO the Union men Of this county we wish
of the last election will be offered ON the
9Th of November when you are called upon
to cast your ballots for the election of Abra-
ham Lincoln and Andy Johnson.
In addition to these candidates for the
| Presidency and Vice Presidency, an import
ant State election is to be decided. more inn
porant to you than the Presidential contest.
There are enough and to spare, without Ma
ryland, to elect those candidates of the
| Union party. But on the complexion OF
our next Legislature in a great measure, de
ponds the fate of the new Constitution. II
open traitors, or halfway Unionists are sent
to Annapolis, they will do all in their power
to neutraize the fundamental law of the
State, which is to go into operation under
the auspices of the Legislature that is to be
elected on the sth of November next.
1t therefore behoovcs every Union man
to rally around the flag of his country and
come up to the finishing charge upon rebel
lion and treason in the State of Maryland
To any man who has weakness for Nc

over that General when in command of tn,

Suppose he had gone overto jeff. Davis atte,

would you feel DISPOSED to vote for him ?

warmest friends of Jeff Davis in the oya
Ga -
There is not traitor who has favored the
rebellion by every possible means, and who
has the opportunity of voting at the Presi
dental election, but will vote for Mcclellan.
Now, how can any man who has one spark
of patriotism in his breast. in plain view
of these facts, cast q vote for the candidates
of the rebel party in the loyal States, Geo
b. Mcclellan and George ii. Pendlcton, the
latter having no other record than TREASON
