A Few Plain Questions.

Which is the best citizen, the white man
who stsid q. home during the Rebellion and
gave his influence to "the South - OF the
black man who went to the battle field and
gave his assistance to the Government?
Which is the most loyal the white man
who by words justified and abetted the Re
bellion; or the black man who by deeds
aided in crushing it?
Which is the most worthy of belief in a
court of JUSTICE the white man who has
violated all his oaths for purposes of Tres
son; on the black man whose simple word,
alone, in behalf Of the cause of the Union
has never been broken?
Which is most deserving of our esteem and
confidence, the white men who murdered by
inches thousands of our brave soldiers in
the vile pens at Andersonville, Milten, Sails
bury, Belle Island, etc.; or the black men
who aided and piloted them in their escape
from those vile pens?
Which is most entitled to the ballot, the
white man who has fought four years to
destroy the Government; or the black man
who has fought ever since we would permit
him, to preserve it2
Which is most entitled to voice in fra
ming and administering our laws, the white
traitor Jefferson Davis and the thousands of
white men equally as disloyal, who endeav-
ored to build Southern Confederacy upon
the ruins of the Union; or the loyal black
man Frederick Douglas and the thousands
of black men equally as loyal, who with their
money and their blood did all they could to
preserve that Union from destruction!
Which are most entitled to all the rights
and privileges of citizenship, the white rebels
whose bullets brought death to many of our
fathers, brothers, and loved ones; or the
black loyalsts whose bullets caused many OF
those white rebels to bite the dust, and aided
materially in restoring peace to the country ?
These are questions so plain and direct
that they need neither note or comment ;
and the heart of every man who is loyal to
the Government and the Old Flag will
respond to them with instructive correctness.
Men of Cecil, these questions cover all the
main questions of the day, and we submit
them to your careful consideration without a
suggestion; for we know you are ready to
meet them and we know also how you will
answer them.

The sympathizers with the conspirators,

principal witness, Mr. Weichmann, have al
so grossly slandered Mr.. Stanton, the Sec

bands for self protection will be permitted
in the State, as the military forces of the
United States will be sufficient to protect
persons and property. All the acts of the
Governor and Legislature since the passage
of the ordinance of secession are declared
illegitimate.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that where person keeps a
horse, the use of which is necessary to the
prosecution of his business, the expense of

horse is used partly for business producing
income and partly for pleasure, so much Of
the expense for keeping him as is clearly re-

The Government takes final possession

the people for the welcome the soldiers had
received at their hands, and paid tribute to
the Cecil boys by saying that it was in Il
great measure through their bravery that he
had been enabled to be of some service to his
country. Col. Bcwerman and Major Simon
were introduced, and bowling, acknowledged
the compliment. Major E. F. NJ. Faehtz
was next introduced, and made few appro.
pirate remarks, referring in very nattering
terms to the Union ladies of the county.
The meeting then took a recess for dinner:
The tables were tastefully decorated with
flags, and loaded with almost every con.
ceivable kind of eatables, prepared in the
best manner. Even course of ice cream
was served. And here again we are com.
PEELED to curb our pen.
The concourse in attendance was very
large; how many we are unable to say--but
the number amounted to several thousands
Everything passed off very satisfactorily.
We neglected to notice in the proper place
that the Chesapeake City Band was present
and assisted to enlven the occasion. There
are doubtless other things which have been
overlooked, in consequence of the hurry in
which this notice was prepared.
