The LOYAL Union Convention.

The Loyal Union Convention.
We have already heard from various quar-,
tiers of the purpose of the Union people to.
be represented in the Convention to be held
in this City on the goth. Among Others, "a
friend writes US from Lexington as follows:
"Dayidson will be represented in the Con-
vention. The ball is rolling steadily, and
will not stop until the jeff Davis radicals are
removed from power"
This is the right spirit. Let every Union
list who can spare the time and the means, be
sure to attend. The only hope to restore the
Union is in the prompt and united action OF
the loyal men of the State.

The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1866-03-17
The Loyalty of Maryland.

Last week a Committee from the General
Assembly of Maryland had an interview With
the President, and presented him with the
resolutions passed by that body, endorsing
his policy. Mr.. Speaker Frazier, who head
ed the delegation and was spokesman on the
occasion, delivered, in the maine of the
State, one of the most fulsome harrangues
to the President that was ever put forth in
the name of, and to the disgust Of, loyalty.
Those resolutions do not speak the senti-
ment Of the loyal men of Maryland, and
we'll do Mr.. Frazier and the Committee know
it. They were not passed by the votes of
the loyal members of the Legislature.
The resolutions presented to the President
were introduced in the House of Delegates
by Mr.. Frazier during the first week of its
recent session, in January last and referred
to the Committee on Federal Relations. As
originally offered, they contained resolu-
ton endorsing the policy of Secretary Sew.
ard as to our foreign relations, and express.
ing qualification at his recovery from the at
tempt to assassinate him. They were sub
sequently submitted to caucus of the
Union men of both Houses of the Lecisla-
ture, where they were so amended as to en-
dorse the administration of President
Johnson and pledging him the eco opera
ton of the General Assembly in all proper
measures looking to the reconstruction and
restoration of the revoted States" In this
form they were brought before the House
during the last week of the session. Mr..
Frazier offered his resolutions as a substitute
therefor, and proposed an amendment strik-
ing out the resolution relative to Secretary
Seward, which could not pass, owing to the
objections of the Democratic side of the
House. By a combination OF Union votes
and the entire Democratic strength in the
House, the resolution in regard to Mr.. Sew
ard was finally stricken out, and the resolu.
tons, as submitted to the President, were
adopted by a vote of twenty.four Unionists
several of whom protested against them
and twenty-three Democrats in their favor,
to twenty-five Unonists against them.
And these are the solutions-Coppcr-
head all over, through and through-dictated
by the Copperhead members, passed by
Copperhead members voting solid for them
which Mr.. Frazier and Mr.. G. C. Cox, our
Lieutenant.Governor, palm upon the Presi-
dent as the loyal sentiment of Maryland.
We protest against such glaring falschood
and effrontery. The resolutions presented
by the Committee are a disgrace to the loyal
people of Maryland, and the speech of Mr..
Frazier on the occasion of their presentation
is shameless, brazen falsehood.

CofaI affairs.
THE EASTERN SfioRE RAILROAD

THE EASTERN Shore RAILRoAb.-
Our neighbors of Kent are just now some
what excited over railroad matters. The
road at present claiming the attention of the
citizens Of Kent county, Is proposed to i'll
tersect the Delaware Railroad at or near
Middletown, passing within mile and ahalf
of Warwic, in this county Some difficulty
arising about the point of intersection with
the Delaware Railroad, it has been advised
that an effort be made to make the road en-
tirely within the territory of Maryland, by
extending it to Elkton and intersecting at
this point the P. w. & B. Railroad. This
would make the road some eight or ten miles
longer, with the important advantages, how
ever, in favor of Elkton as terminus, of
having it twenty miles nearer Baltimore, and
of giving freight and travel over the road an
equal advantage as to distance between the
cities of Baltimore and Philadelphia. If
the matter were properly represented to the
capitalists and business men of Baltimore.
we doubt not that liberal subscription
could be obtained in that city for the con-
struction of the road to Ekton.
Much of the grading of what was formerly
known as the Eastern Shore Railroad is done
from Elkton to Chestertown, so that little
expense would be incurred in this most for.
midable part of railroad building. We have
understood that some of our most able men
in the pecuniary line have intimated will.
ingness to subscribe literally to the stock OF
made at Elkton. This is an enterprise in
which Cecil county, as well as the whole
Eastern Shore, is deeply interested, and our
people should at once wake up to the i'm
portance of having the road constructed
wholly on Maryland soil. BY building it on
the route already graded, great saving
would be effected, and by having the termi-
nus at Elkton, the road would pass through
rich and populous country, from which it
would receive large quantities of freight that
now finds its way to market by water; and
by throwing the road farther from the Della
aware Road, would form an immediate high
way for freight and travel between the Della.
ware Railroad and Chesapeake Bay, two
points which are now reached by long and
laborlous travel with teams.
We hope the project will receive the i'm.
mediate attention of our enterprisng men in
this and the lower portion of the county and
a correspondence be opened with those who
have charge of the road in Kent county,
Philadelphia is fast monopolyzng the trade
of the Eastern Shore, and if Baltimore does
not make some effort to secure the terminus
of this road as near that city as possible,
which is at Elkton, we fear the entire trade
of this shore will depart from her. The
time for our people to move in the matter is
now and in concert with the business men
Of Kent, representing the project in its true
light to Baltimore capitalists, we do not
doubt that the road may be constructed en-
tirely on Maryland soil.
