The Cecil Whig.
ELkTON, AUatsT IL, 1858.
The AbOlitiOnists throw Aside
their Disguise.

Under this caption the Democrat of las
week affects to answer a series of very plair
questions put to it the week previous by TIL
Wig, but in place of ansvering, it takes
up its old chant of abolition and "negrt
eqn"lity." Now as slavery has become
detunct institution in the United States, ex
cept in little Delaware, there cannot exis
an organization to abolish it. But a.
disciples of the Democrat school are slow t.
learn, it is not fair, perhaps, to suppose tina
they have discovered that fact yet.
As to ''negro equality" we willingly yielt
the palm in that matter to the Democrat
1t is better able to speak advisedly on tina
subject than we, having been SO long, and
doubtlessy, well trained in the negro schoo
of politics.
In place of answering what it apparently
set out to do, we have the following remark
able announcement:
"For long time we have been endeavor
ing to convince the people of Cecil tina
those who styled themselves loyalists in thi.
State were in favor of negro equality"
Yes, our neighbor has been "endeavor
ing" for long time to cram great many
and various kinds of lies down the throats
of the people of Cecil, but Judging from re
suits it succeeds but indfferently we'll.
"If you are opposed to negro social and
political equality, then The Wing says you
are not loyal'-so says the Democrat.
The Wing not only does not say so in the
list of questions propounded to the Demo
crat, but nothing even approaching to such
declaration was ever printed in The Wing
Such assertions are SANDERS so bootless thai
they are scarce. worth denying, as no on.
that ever reads Tile Wing will for moment
be deceived by them.
"Butler, the beast!' This intensely rebe
phrase is made use Of by the Democrat, il
referring to our sentiments, thus indicating
to what class The Democrat and its presen
engineers belong. The Democrat further
asserts:
every man who is not in favor of negro
equality is unworthy of belief in court o
justice, says The JVhig." The Wing neve
said anything of the kind. But why follow
this apologist for treason and all the enor
mites of the hellborn shareholders rebel
lion further in its foundering? 1t has don't
us the stupid piece of justice to publish tn,
editorial of The Wing which it attempts tt
answer, and any reader who has intelligence
enough to keep out of a lunatc asylum, viii
readily perceive that the parallel is there
run between the white traitor who sough
by every brutal means the overthrow of tn,
government, and the loyal colored man who
took his life in his hand and aided in the
preservation of our nationality, and the
overthrow of the armies of treason; which
the Democrat, occasionally affects. to con
demn--its effort, albeit, in that direction il
very weak
We ran the parallel between those ant
asked the Democrat to say which is the bet
ter man-the white cut-throat who robs you
and attempts to take your life, or the coloret
man who interposes to aid in your rescue
The Democrat can't answer these plain uues
tons, but goes off on negro equality. Ant
why can't it answer them? Because it,
hackers are as great rebels as those who
having been recently soundly thrashed, art
now, humbly as Spaniels, suing at the fee
of the President for pardon. The Democra
has not the nerve to assert boldly what i
cautiously edges toward, that the bloody
handed traitor, in its estimation, has no
only superior claims to admiration, to tn,
colored patriot but to the loyal white man
Anything having the odor of treason abou
it is far excellent, and always has been, il
the estimation Of The Democrat, but not il
the estimation ofthe people of Cecil henc,
it mourns over the poor success of its teach
ing.
