The Democrat VS.. tine COlOred
school,.

A few weeks ago a teacher was sent TO
Elkton by the Baltimore Association for inn
provement of colored people, and a colored
school opened by her which is numerously
attended and in very Furnishing condition.
From the day of its establishment, however,
Tie Democrat has been terribly exercised
over the matter, and the editors of that de-.
lectable sheet, after having gone to their
beds in fear and trembling ever since. lest
they should wake the next morning to find
some of the colored scholars on an equality
with them, gave vent to their agonies in last
weeks issue, in Il short, but infamous, local
item, in which they alege by inuendo what
they dare not openly avow, that said colored
school is kept open while the white free
schools are compelled to close, and that the
teacher thereof is paid by the State Board
of Education out of the Free School Fund
of the State. Instead of such being the
iact-instcad Of any portion Of the Free
School Fund of Maryland going to support
colord schools, the taxes paid by colored
people go to support free white schools, and
the coored schools are carried on altogether
by private funds and contributions. The
co!ored people of Maryland pay several
thousand dollars annually to the school tax
fund Of the State, and colored children are
debar.ed the use Of every portion of it;
and yet the organ Of the Copperheads in this
county, true to its instincts, has the mean
ness to libel a colorcd school with the ex-
pectation of making little political capital
out Of it. o shame, where is thy blush!

great parade in decorating the graves of the

Union soldiers were passed c,ldly by, the

terday to repair the omission. Accordingly
they assembled at one Of their school houses
near the cemetery with flowers. wrcaths and

accompanied them, and in peaceful process.
sion they marched to deposit their offering,
upon the graves of the nations dead. a
more touching spectacle and one Which vi

was seldom seen, but Incredible to tell, the
procession was met at the gates of the GENE

SLAvERY.-The Cecil Democrat is Mortified
to see Union officers asserting their indie

that the people are Presidential servants and
the President not the servant of the people
That journal comprehends no other state of
existence than that of master and slave, and
very obsequiously chooses the latter position

"ELEcrIoN AT ELKroN-On Monday last
an election took place at Elkton, Nd, for
town commissioners, and resulted in the
success of the whole ticket which favored
the policy Of President Johnson"
This is news to the citizens of Elkton.-
Nothing was heard of President johnson or
his policy in connection with the town cleo
ton. If there had been the President John
son ticket would have been "nowhere. "
One of the tickets was loosely termed TIE
"dog ticket" Does the Copperhead who
sent the above lie to the Sun mean that that
was the johnson ticket? The only question
at issue in the town election here on Monday
last, was who can We elect as commissioners
