A scribbler Of this order of beings desc
crates the name of ''Unon Soldier in the
last Democrat-that lifelong apologist for
rebels and the rebellion, and from whose
dark pages, during the war, no appeal ever
was Nude in behalf of the Union soldiers
nothing but snecrs at the effort of those SOL
diers to maintain the Union and disarm
treason. This BREAD and Butter Brigade"
is now crying out against the noble, undaunt-
ed, loyal men, for their efforts to prevent
traitors again from selling the Government
and opening new rebellion.
The Cecil Democrat has not changed its
principles. It's Editor and its policy are
the same they ever were. They preached
anti coercion at the beginning of the rebel.
lion, which was disunion and only dsunion
the right of every State to seccde and no
right in the Federal Union to prevent it by
force of arms. What was that but disunion
and annihlation of the Constitution, which
is the subject now of so many Coppcrhead
sermons?
THIS Union Soldier seems to think the
people have forgotten the facts of the last
six years, and that he may, without an eff.
fort, palm his secession fasehoods on the
public. IT'S true the Editor of Tile Villa
never was called to the front, but what was
equally as trying, he has been bored TO death
time and again with miserable rhymes from
this 'Un;on Sold en-" when he followed
cowsi the upper districts and tried his hand
at pastorals. In revampng rebel lies he has
found his forte at last. 1t lays not in poetry

head editorial, we will notice few of the
f,lschoods it contains. For downright brag
it claps the climax for bald assertion. He
has great deal to say of The Hhig, which
supported him if he was in the field, Will
Tie Democrat left him and all who warrcd
against its southern friends without one word
Of chssr, without one spark of comfort. -
If an appeal was heard ir behalf of the suf.
Iering soldier in the field, from this county,
The Why made it. If II defense of the sol.
der against secession defamation and mis-
representation was required, The Hhig was
always found battling for him and we have
never known any but a sneak and u coward
on the battle field, who, under the name of
Soldier" ever rcsorted to secession sheet
to Witty and SANDER The Wing, one of the
few friendly organs in the State, which sup
ported the soldiers cause with hearty will
throughout the rebellion.
"Soldicrs of Cecil" says this lying writer
for The Democrat, remember the Radicals
have no sympathy for you. Only last year
Col. Hill presented himself as a candidate
for nomination for sheriff of this countv.-
Was he chosen? Why, the very party that
boasts of its devotion to the soldiers, whose
proper organ is The Wig, chose stay.at,
home before him, claiming that he had made
money. enough in the army"
One of the principal men who contributed
to defeat Col. Hills nomination in the con.
ventou was ex sheriff Cosgrove, who now be-
longs to the "Bread and Butternut Brigade"
The other elements which mainly contributed
to his defeat before the convention were the
soldiers of this county, who ragged against
shoulder straps" These are facts that
can't be denied. Mr.. Janncy, the present
sherifs personal popularity secured him
many fast friends in the Union party, and
they have never had cause to blush for him
as they have for some they raised to power
and place.
Again, the following is specimen of the
bosh made use of by this place hunting party.
.'The Editor of The Wing goes so far as
to say this great war was waged against sla.
very-not waged for the restoration of the
Union under the Constitutions but for the
abolition of slavery and the elevation of the
negro"
The Editor of The Wing never said any
thing of the kind. Nothing like it can be
found in any number of IT, Affer moro ro
domontade similar to the above, this lying
fool puts forth the following
"Does he think that the soldiers will stand
by him or his party when he openly declares
that the war on the part of the North was
waged for the abolition of slavery, and not
for the restoration of the Union? If he
does, be will find he is resting on fancy,
which sooner or later will be known to him
and bis party. All we ask is the restoration
Of the Uuion under the Constitution which
bis 1.-THE RadicaD party has refused to give
us"
