ELMTON, JUNE ,, 1865.
The County Ulicn Convention.

The County Convention that aSembled
here on Wednesday last, in responss 4 to the
call for the 9th of June Union State Conven-
ton, spoke volumes for the Union cause in
old Cecil. We recognized in the delegates
, many of the same men who met here on the
! Tuesday following the 10Th Of April 81, and
sounded that clarion blast of defiance and
high resolve which echoed throughout the
State and was caught up by the loyal North,
and re echoed back, giving cheer and hope
| to the faint and dcsponding in that hour of
the Republics greatest peril. The same
men who declared on that occasion that, let
| the State resolve to seccde if she may that
| Cecil county was determined to adhere in
her allegiance to the Union and the Consti
tuition. We find the Union masses again
speaking in the same unmistakeable tones
through the same organs, and reailirming
their answering fidelity to the cause of the
Republic, and their hatred Of treason and
| their country's enemies.
The Union party of Cecil stands firmly on
| that high ground which it assumed at the
commencement of the struggle which is not
yet ended, that traitors should be forever put
down, and the future destines Of the State
shaped and controlled by loyal men. They
| believe what is so obvious to common sense,
that men who tried to overthrow the govern
mcnt, State and NATIONAL are not worthy to
| be trusted with political power again. Be-
lieving this palpabe truth, they have again
| renewed their VOWS at the sacred shrine of
! freedom to sustain the men in Congress and
in other positions of political power and
influence, who have ever shown their zeal to
| the cause of the nation by their unfaltcring
| resistance to traitors and the rebellion. And
in the contamination of the final settlement
of this reconstruction question which is now
Agitatlng the country, they are determined
that arrogant rebels shall take that back seat
| which President johnson once very appro-
priately assigned them. And believing that
the present Registry law Of the State is neccs-
| sary, just and proper, they have determined
that shall be sustained and rigidly enforced.
BY the proceedings of the Convention and
the resolutions of several Of the primary
meetings it will be seen that Senator Cres
well is heartily endorsed and his course
approved by the men who alone have the
right to speak for the Union party Of the
county.
The Union party of this county is firmly
united and fall of confidence in achieving a
GROWING victory over the cohorts of rebel
lion and treason in the approaching fall
election.

Negroes Voting.

Notwithstanding provision is contained
in the Constitution Of Maryland denying the
exercise of the elective franchise to the col
ored race, the Copperheads find, or think
they do, valuable battle cry against the
party, which so ef'ecually put them and
their secession friends down.
10 counteract the influence that such a
misrepresentation may have upon those who
have acted with the Union party and have
not yet learned to detect Copperhead lies,
although the veil be ever so thin which CON
ceals them, it is the fashion with many of
the Union party, who convene at public
meetings, to pass resolutions declaring that
they are opposed to negroes voting and that
the question is not before the people of the
State in the present issue, it being cii'cctually
excluded by the Constitution. Every man
with five grains of common sense should be
satisfied that in order to introduce the col,
ored man as voter in this State, con.
vention would have to be called, and the
Constitution altered, and that alteration be
again submitted to the people for ratification,
and approved, before negroes could be ad,
mitted to the right Of elective franchise.
This being the fact, we never could com.
prehend the good sense which dictated these
nervous resolutions, which, although per-
haps not intended to do 50, cast, indirectly.

to the traitors whom he aided so manfully
to conquer. When men protesting to be
Union men are heard mounting the Copper.
head whine about the Union party advocat-
ing the ballot for the black man in the State
it is pretty good sign that all such men find
something congenia in the Copperhead party
and take this sneakng way of getting over.
They had better be bid God speed at once,
for it is their intention to go here, and let
the Union party not for the sake of retaining
such members, wantonly abuse the colored
man who has aided with all his might to put
down the rebellion, and does not eUen ask to
rote in this State.

day last, there being but two votes in opposi-

tutes, but only volunteers. The amount
allotted to each soldier who served for not
less than three years will be about $500,
from which any bonnties, Government or
local, heretofore paid will be deducted, ex-
cept in the case of veteran volunteers. 1t
will mainly benefit those soldiers who enlist
ed in 1861 and 1862, before bounties were
generally paid to secure enlstments- If the
bill should become law, the sum required
to pay the bounties will be from one hundred
to one hundred and fifty millions of dollars
