The following is worthy to be classcd
among The Democrats hcrocs, and appears
in the last issue Of that journal, at the wind
ing up of column of fudge and fustian'
devoted to The Wig:
eff there is Judgment on record against
us we wish to kno" it. If an execution
hangs over us by whom, and when was it
issued? In whose hands is it? What sher-
il is our silent partner? To these ques-
tions we expect explicit answers" Come
now, Mr.. Innocence, you don't want these
things exposed at all. That's only little
confidence game you are attempting to play
off on the public-a role for the sake of eff

respects, has for long time been troubling
itself about the ownership and editorship of
The Wig, but as such private matters are
of no interest to the public, and being per-
fectly easy as regards the status of The IVhiq
in these respects, we for a long time took no

The Member from the Third Com
gressiOnal District.

call remember the farce that was played
by the Union party of the Third Congress
sional District Of this State two years ago,
when they took up and elected Col Phelps
in place Of Winter Davis. The Union party
of that District, it is TO be hoped, have learn
ed wisdom by that act of childish folly, and
in the approaching fall canvass they will
choose standard bearer more worthy to
represent the District of the late lamentcd
statesman.
In making that selection, they can find no
one more worthy of their choice than C. c..
Fulton, Editor of the Baltimore Americau,
True to the Republic and his State, he has
stood firm amid conflicting interests and
kraved the storm of the rebellion The
faithful champion of freedom in the editorial
corps Of the american, at the outbreak of
the rebellion, the State and nation owe
much to him for his firm courage in holding
that paper to the Union cause, in defiance
ofthe sympathizers with treason, who WELD
ed large influence through the pecuniary
interest they held in the paper. The editor
and proprietor, however, undaunted, stood
sterny by the helm and steered it on the
Union course until he gained entire control
of the paper. In the hands of Mr.. G. C..
Fulton, the American has indeed been a
power in the State. Displaying editorial
ability surpassed by none, it fought nobly
the battle of emancipation in the State, al
ways taking the highest ground and the most
statesmanlike view of every question that
the throes of civil war and revolution brought
upon the political stage.
Notwithstanding a near relative held a
lucrative Office under the Administration,
the american took decided grounds against
the ruinous policy of the President, when,
it is fair to suppose, that every effort would
be made use OF by those in power to gain
the support of the leading Union journal in
the State, and, failing in this, would seek to
punish opposition from such quarter by
all the proscriptive means in their power.
The ability, craftsmanship, integrity, UNI
wavering courage and fidelity, which Mr.. C.
G. Fulton has displayed through the 1meri-
can, in advancing the Union cause in Mary
land, strongly recommend him to the Union
party of the Third District, as candidate
for Congress at the next election. In Mr..
Fulton the Union party of Winter Davis
District, as we'll as Of the State, would have
Il member to be proud Of, and not one to
blush for, as they have at present.

Mr.. EDITOR. lover of humanity
does not sometimes feel his heart sink within
him, when he sees on so many sides ten
dency to yet trample under foot the race
whom God in his wonderous working has
set free. Why will they be so blind to see,
so slow to read His DEGREES, written in blood
and desolation? Shall we again wade
through seas Of blood till his purpose is &C
complished, who puttcth down one and set
tcth up another? We thing every intelligent
mind will agree that prejudice among the
whites originated in our relation o>,them as
slaves. We are told by some that "opprcs-
sion is dead" What hollow mockery-the
colored people are daily oppressed by preju
dice,-that no one can deny. 1t develops
itself in opposition, insult and persecution,
but thank God one by one ills fangs are bro
ken, one hold after another is being Embossed,
and the day will come when its power will be
buried. We are Amcrcans-native born
Americans. We are citizens, and all we ask
is to be treated as such. We earnestly de-
sire that with the prohibition of slavery, you
may prohibit every type ofnjustice, scout and
abhor the monsters, parties, or whoever,
claiming to be men, now seek to perpetrate
true or false that God hath made of one
specter of persons, but in every cline he that
feareth God and worketh righteousness is
accepted of him, that righteousness exalteth
a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people :;
that all other estimates of nations or men.

ONE OF THE OPPRESSED.
Elkton, June Goth 1866.
The above communication, the reader will
perceive by the signature, is from one of the
Oppressed" race. AS a plant from that
race is seldom heard, and owing to this fact
the belief has been incucated by many hon
est people that they did not have very
acute sense Of the injustice and degradation
slavery has entaled upon them, and in CON
sequence there was no hope of improve
ment, we give the article place in print
In that degree which the spirit of man feels
its degradation and hopes and strives to at
tain higher position in the scale of hui
mainly. it will succeed in gaining the respect
of the truly good and great, and the enmity
and jealousy Of the mean in spirit and mar
row in soul. This communication eynces,
what has always been remarked of the race,
a strong reliance and trust in the Divine
Being, who is strong tower, the sacred
volume teaches.
Let the "oppressed'' not despair, but in
the words of the immortal Lincoln, 20 for
ward, with malice toward none, with char
ity for all, to do the right as God giveth us
to see the right. Seek knowledge; for it
alone is mightier than any two-eged sword,
breaking in pieces the rod of oppression,
and dispelling the clouds of prejudice and
ignorance, that justice may shine forth like
the sun.

ANOTHER CECIL COUNTY INVENTION.
We were shown by the inventor MIR. James
shobe, Of Upper Principle, in this county,
last week, mo a of a new machine design
ed to cup up corn and depositit in sheavcs, by
horse power. The machine is drawn by one
horse, and is operated by the driver, some
thing similar to a wheel rake. The corn is
carried into the machine and held in a vcrti-
cal or standing position until sheaf is gath
cred, when the driver, by touching a lever
drops it. The machine cuts two rows at a
time, and is so arranged as to hook up lean,
ing corn and carry it into the knives and on
to the platform. ready for delivery in straight
sheavcs. This corn harvester is one Of the
most simple and ingenious machines of the
agricultural class that we ever have the pleas
ure of examining, and has every appearance
Of answering the highest expectations of thc
inventor. 1t has the advantage of being as
easily turned and driven rs wheel hay rake,
and to all appearances will not much exceed
that implement in weight of draft.

Several machines were entered and all did

the trial were a little disappointed by a
little toy like looking mower, which was not
advertised, called the Clipper, which came
from PENNSYLVANIA or Delaware. This little
mower was drawn by pair of spirited nays,
and it slipped through the grass like magic,
bearing off the palm of victory. Nothwith-
standing, those of more substantial build
would do equally as good work, taking the

TIE Town COMMISSIONERS AND THE
RAILROAD CoMPANy.--A quarrel appears to
have sprung up between our Town Commits
sioners and the Railroad Company which is
more annoyance than profit. The Commits
sioners passed an ordinance requiring the
trains, while passing through the town lin.
its, to slack up to six miles per hour and
ring the bell.
Dat of this beginning there has sprung up
great annoyance to our citizens, which is
not creditable to the Railroad Company
The object of the ordinance in requiring
trains to blow the whistle and ring the en-
CINE bell, was to protect persons from the
danger OF beng run over at the numerous
crossings, which if complied with IN the
proper spirit by the engineers on the trains,
would not be attended with any inconven-
fence to the running Of the cars, while it
would insure safety to persons about the
track when the trains are passing. This act
of the town authorities, however, has been
complied with by the Company in IA manner
intended to annoy the whole community rs
much as possible. The steam whistle on
some of the trains is opened to its utmost
capacity, on their approach to the town, and
kept blowing as loud and shrill, with occa-
sional variations, to make the noise and dis
cord, if possible, more disagreeable, as it is
II. the power of the apparatus to blow and
screech.
Such annoyance on the part of railroad
operators can serve no other purpose than to
create feeling OF IL will on the part of the
citizens, who are subject to this piece of petty
disturbance.
The freight train, which stops here at I. 81
p. NJ, takes the lead in this contemplate
conduct, blowing the whistle in its loudest
and shrillest key, till the cars come to a
dead stop at the depot.
On one occasion an engineer provided
himself with IA large fish horn, and blew an
accompaniment to his engine whistle, while
passing the town. Such small business is
calculated TO create feeling of contempt,
and the Company ought to be ashamed OF
such a display Of i'll will, which amounts to
nothing but impotence vented by employees
on our citizens.
Any unreasonable exactions attempted by
the town authorities against the company,
we are very sure would meet with unanimous
disapproval on the part of the citizens We
think the board asked more than was neces-
sary to insure the safety Of life and limb, in
requiring the speed of trains to be reduced
to the rate of six miles per hour, while pass.
ing the town limits ; but it certainly endang-
ers life when they run at the rate of thirty
miles, which they often do. Twelve miles
an hour, we think, would be comparatively
safe speed, while passing through the town
limits. This reduction would not dctain the
trains, and one fourth of the noise would
give sufficient warning, and not be an intol-
cradle annoyance and nuisance. We think
this ridiculous railroad and corporation
strife might be settled in few minutes by
