For Whom Will You Vote I

We did not receive the Copperhead nomi-
nations for State officers in time last week
to get them into Saturdays Wing. The
two nominees on that ticket. however. that
most interest the people of this county are
those for Governor, and Congress in the First
Congressional District. The former, Judge
Chambers. of Chestertown, and the latter.
Hiram Mccullough, Esq, of Eikton. The
formers record since the rebellion, com.
mencing with its incipient stages, proves
him to be one of the most incorporating
riric Rebels in the State. The Judge was
chairman of the Baltimore Convention which
assembled in 1851 declaring that in case of
dissolution of the Union, or ir other words
secession of tire Southern States, that Mary

oar sister States of the South, and chat the
soil of Maryland should not be made high
way for Northern hooDs to pass orer TO make

this at a time when those 'Southern sisters
We're sending armics forward to seize the ma
tional Capital Judge Chambers was one of
the Commissioners sent to Richmond by this
Baltimore Convention Of conspirators, to as
certain what progress the conspirators as
semblcd in that city in Il Sovereign Con-
yention,' in the cause of secession We're
making. and what caused their hardness III
the work of revolution. Judge Chambers
was one of the Committee of Safety, APP

islature, assembled in extra session Mt Fred
crick, with 81. 900, 900 at its disposal, to take
charge of the military power of the State,
and by these means make sure of secession,
and against which the protests of our cit-
zens went up. not merely by steam, but on
the wings of the Lightning. Without going
further into detail of the plotting of this old
man against the peace and liberty of the
people of Maryland, it is enough for our
people to know that he has been the most
insiduous, untiring plotter for the Rebel
Confcderacy in the State. He was among
the first to begin scheming in this hell-con-
ceived plot to overthrow this Government,
and has up to the present hour continued to
do all in his power to assist the internal
work. This is brief but true, history of
the Copperhead candidate for Governor of
this State. The candidate for Congress, in
the First District, has not taken that active
part which Judge Chambers has in trying to
induce the bloody wave of war to flow over
Maryland, but he has never been known to
dissent from any political measure advocated
by Judge Chambers since the rebellion.
Men of Cecil. you will be called upon to
vote to fill those two offices, on Tuesday.
Will you, at this eleventh hour of the re-
belion, when it reels like an exhausted
gladiator to its fall, vote for men whose pol
icy has been, and still is, the perpetuation of
slavery, the dissolution of the Union, with
this State in the slave oligarchy, or will you
vote as you have ever done since the rebel.
