"Wednesday last will he memorable in the
political annals of Cecil county as the day
which marked ne dawn Of new era in the
future politics of Maryland. being the day
on which convention assembled AT Elkton.
, composed Of white and colorcd delegates,
for the purpose of appointing delegates to
the State Convention TO assemble in Balti-
/ more on the 18th inst. The Republican
party of the county that day inanguratcd q
movement, which, heretofore, has existed
only in theory. that is destined. at no distant
day, to bury from sight, in grave that shall
know no resurrection, that dead matter of
the rebellion, the Democratic party, by
which is known the worshipers OF slavery
and all its hideous and unnatural dogmas.
The convention of the 9Th marked the
! first ripple Of the rising tide of universal
suffrage, which is setting in upon the shores
! Of our State from north and south. The
roar Of the swelling waves grows more and
more distinct every moment, a. they roll mp
and swell round this rebel bound State,
! threatening TO dash to pieces the irail floats
on which ride the present Democratic, alias
Conservative, alias Rebel party of Mary
land
! The Democracy, named the unterritted,
in the palmy days of slavery rule, stared on
the convention in blank amazement, and
| quaked at the utterance of the proud and
defiant words of the speakers, who pro-
claimed the immortal truths and determined
purposes of the Republican party-oquality
| before the law and universal manhood suf.
frage as a right divine which God has APP.
pointed to man, and to the establishment of
which justice He will % overturn and over
throw until it expands throughout the
world. and the right of self.goyernment is
enjoyed by all men of all nations.
The day being one of the stormicst of the
season. some of the district delegations were
prevented from attending at the county con,
vention. Had the weather not interfcred.
doubtless full delegations from nearly every
district would have been present.
The convention assembled at o'clock
in the Court House, aud organized by elect.
ing Absaom Roman, President and James
johnson, Secretary.
After organization and the presentation OF
credentials Of district delegates, committee
of one from each district represented, was
