The Election,

The election to be held on Wednesday
next, to determine the fate of the new Con.
stitution, should not be neglected by a sin.
gle Republican. The whole connection is a
copperhead and ex.rebel enterprise to secure
to, and thus satiate the hungry greed of a
swarm Of professional politicians, and Office
hunters, all the Offices in the State, form
Governor to Constable; and to place all
power in the hands of the slave drivers of
the southern counties, in order to enable
them to control the State for evermole.-
Let Republicans turn out in their strength {;
let every man see that his neighbor is at the
polls, and that the full Republican vote of
the county is polled against this anti.repub
lican Constitution. 1t is necessary that the
Republicans Of the State should place their
protest against it, on record, that if it be es.
tablished by rebel votes, Congress may have
no doubt as to the sentiments of the loyal
people of the State, and they will make
short work ofthis antedeluvian Constitution.

Look Out for Them.

In their anxiety to make votes for the
Chinese Constitution, next Wednesday, the
antediuvians are resorting to all sorts OF
lying rs usual. They find number of peo.
pie justly apprehensive that if the Constitu.
ton is adopted, the present excellent school
system will go by the board. To satisfy
these hcsitating ones, they tell them the sys.
tenn now in operation is obnoxious on &C.
count of expensiveness, that it costs for
officers, in Cecil county, $50, 900! and that
the object of the trainers of the new Consti.
tuition, in providing for the expiration of the
system at tfenext adjournment ofthe Legisla.
turc, is merely to provide for the Inaugural.
ton OF less expensive system. Some will
believe this lie, and will, should the Consti.
tuition carry, wake up some fine morning,
and find themselves without Public Schools.
The best rctutation of such an invention is
the fact that the entire school fund of Cecil
county, amounts to just $14, SAG, Os, and the
entire sum paid to the officers of the School
Board of this county, is less than tpo tAou.
sand dollars.
(. The talk of the antcdluvians, as to ex.
pcnse, sounds well in view of the lavish OK.
penditures Of the last Legislature, by which
the State Treasury has been well nigh bank.
rupted, and the proposed change of the ju.
dicial system for the State, which, if the
Constitution be adopted, will entail upon us
an additional cost for judges of over $40, OoO
per annum. Verify, Democratic rule prom.
iscs to be everything else but cheap.

ELKTON, SEPTEMBER II, 1867.
Reasons Why the Constitution
Should BE Voted AGAINST.

Before another issue of The Wig, the
question OF acceptance or rejection of the
! new Constitution will have been decided. -
We have only space to glance at its most
prominent defects, the time having been
shortened in which the people were to study
and become thoroughly acquainted with
merits and dement's, purposely by the franz
ers of that instrument, in order that it might
be fastened upon the State before its odious
anti-republcan features could be properly
examined and understood by the people.
In former issues we have exposed its
monstrous inequality in representation, and
pointed out the unblushing efforts of the
former slave owners to secure, for all time
the hands Of Il few aristocrats Of the little
effete counties, where rebellion and treason
have always retained their stronghold. The
following table will show at glance the
robbery in representation, aimed at by these
men, who arrogatc to themselves the right
to rule through all time, because they once
owned and lived by the sweat of slaves
The following table, as arranged, taken from
the Baltimore Americon, will show at II
birds eye view the whole fraud in reprcsen'
tation aimed at by those former lords of the
lash:
We have arranged, as will be seen, the
western and northern tier of counties to.
ge:her, with the population and representa-
ton of each; and the southern counties to-
gether in like manner:

The Border State Convention,

We have not room, at the late hour which
they come to hand, for the Resolutions pass.
ed by the Border State Convention, held at
Baltimore on Thursday last, but will give
them entire in our next issue. The Ameri,
can, commenting editorially on the Conven.
ton, says:
The Border State Convention, held YES
terday, was an earnest, manly and success
full demonstration Of the friends ofmanhood
suffrage. The large attendance of delegates,
representatives of the Republicans of Mis-.
souri,, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia,
Delaware, Maryland and the District Of
Columbia, the enthusiastic and numerous
audience, the eloquent, earnest and pointed
addresses, the firm, dignifed and loyal ut
terance of the Convention through its unan.
imously adopted resolutions, ali made the
occasion one that will bespeak the consid
Grafton, and we earnestly trust the favorable
action Of Congress on the appeal which it
has SO forcible made.

The New HALL.-The Odd Fellows Hail.
which is being erected IN this town, has
been pushed forward since its commence.
ment with commendable enterprise. The
brick work will be finished in a week or ten
days, and when the structure IS completed
1t will be an ornament and an Improvement
to the town, that the Order and citizens NAV
be justly proud Of. While the style of archi
lecture of the building is comparatively
plain, it is neat and handsome. The Hall,
when completed, will cost twenty.th
thousand dollars. Fifteen thousand dollars
will be raised by stock subscription, and the
residue furnished by the Order.
While the efforts of the Order to erect
such a public building in our town, is
worthy of all praise, especially when its
comparatively limited, pecunary means are
considered, the enterprise has not met with
that cordial co operation and material aid
from our wealthiest citizens it should have
done. Those of humber means have come
forward nobly and helped to erect this fac
Hall. The fact that such building will add
TO the value OF property in the town, should
be an incentive to large property owners,
to lend a helping hand. The stock is not
asked to be taken as donation. The in.
vestment will pay from the start per cent.
Offices are engaged in advance, the rent OF
which will amount to S;l,4OO per annum,
without counting the proceeds from the
public hall and Offices not yet engaged. -
The wealthy property owners of the town
should be ashamed to hold back, and offer
no encouragement and assistance to the
Order, in its efforts to increase the interest
and add to the beauty of the town. The
Order ask, as matter Of duty, the property
holders to 1--WE them more liberal aid. They
do not solicit donations, but pecunary aid
to complete building, the rents from which,
in few years, will return every dollar of
outlay.

that the Town Commissioners purchase a

The custom of hitching horses attached to
carriages in the street in the neighborhood
of the post office is both annoying and dan.
