party, yclept Democracy, of this county, has
been out of late on several airing expedi-
tons, and doubtless its wild, discordant
shrieks of g hunger, rage and pain" have
startled its buffers, and stewards, and grooms,
and lackics, whose family pride for the
"party" is fully equal to that of the old
butler in the Bride Of Lamermoor. The
County Commissioners were whisked down
two or three times-though their tanks were
somewhat exposed, we must admit-and last
week the Legislature had a shampooing,
which like all tonsorial operations produced
a good deal of froth, which may possibly
have salutary influence. The members are
reminded that they had their "gold bill y
and their :" SLIGO postage stamp BILL" both
of which every rebel in the Legislature voted
for, and it was not the fault Of the members
who are advocated by The Democrat that the
"gold bill" did not pass, and it was the
Union members who prevented that robbery
of the State treasury from being perpetrated,
for which every secesh member voted

votes Of its own party members shows, if any
thing, harder cheek than even his sooty
Highness could exhibit.
But the "negro bills!' there is the vital
point. That touches The Democrats reli.
gion. The god of its fathers have been
blasphemed; the black affairs Of slavery have
been desecrated, and the hideous idol of
Baal, to which the apostles of the political
school of The Democrat ministered, has been

hence this wall of the high priest of slavery
in Cecil.
It is asserted that the Union party denied
last fall that the black laws of the State would
be repealed. The party denied no such
thing, it being their intention to wipe out
every emblem of disgrace fixed on the statute
books by the naughty. salt important slave
power Again we find the assertion in the
last article On the "negro" in that veritable
imitator and COPPER of Ben Woods secession

scarce elapsed since the charge that the
abolition of slavery was their intention would
make the whole Union party show fight
Ever since the traitors fired upon the national
flag it has been proclaimed here, and the
promise was constantly kept in view, and
finally made good. But we need not follow
further this rambling article of invective and
groundess charges, introduced more for
show than use. The object of all this railing
is to cajole the people of Cecil county into
voting for secession candidates for Office next
fall. The whole remnant of the rebel party
in this county are in a starving condition,
politically, and great effort is to be made
by them to cheat the honest masses. Let us
look at what they did and attempted to do
when last in power. Their last Legislature
held friendly intercourse with the rebel army
on the borders of our State by commission.

1t is we'll for the people to recall these do

party to mind, which happened before theil
souls were stained with the crime of treason
Since those days they have added the iniquty
of the rebellion, and now mock the people
by speaking Of the short comings of the
Union party and Union men in their warfare
against the rebellion, and the dark schemine
of its sympathizers who are all in the part,
that The Democrat speaks for. Away with
such hypocrisy The people know these
fellows who now mourn over the triumph O
the Union arms, while they ask you to joir
them against the men who have headed thu
strife for the last four years, which has event
ually thrust down slavery and rebel sway.
If there are any grievances to complain
of, the remedy is not in elevating to place
and power traitors and their sympathizers
but in selecting Union men for candidates
