The secret of it is this: Plantation Bitters are

its machinery at work. and enable it to resist and
throw of the approaching danger. The tendency
Of the operations of Nature is always towards a
cure; all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonable and
sensible it is to help her along with gentle, yet
powerful Tonic, than to deluge and weaken and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds of disease and death.

to the late elections as an additional reason
for change of policy. He has thought
much of the propriety of resistance to un-

should therefore be resorted to only in ex.

The Cecil Whig.
ELKTON. JUNE 3, 1867.
The Situation.

Congress, it is pretty definitely settled
will not meet in July,-and we will conse-
quently have to wait till its regular session
next winter, for the Acknowledgement Of the
negro.
All through the Rebellion we contended
that it was the duty of the Government TO
protect every citizen of the Republic, even
though it required the whole of the national
force to do it and, although the Rebellion
has been overthrow, the Government is
still, to the same extent responsible for the
protection of ITS citizens.
There is no refuting this simple fact that
every citizen is entitled to all the rights and
privileges of citizenship. II consequently
follows that If any one citizen has been un-
justly deprived of portion of his rights or
privileges, it is the first and great duty of
the Government to see that they are restored
TO him, and that he is protected in their full
enjoyment.
The colored man has been declared cit.
zen but he is not in condition to enjoy
the rights Of citizenship Of which he has
been so long torcbly deprived by unjust
State laws. Congress should at its last SEES.
sion have passed the Wilson. Sumner bill, or
some bill of similar import, enfranchising
every citizen, without regard to color
This was one Of its first and plainest duties
but it was neglected and we in Maryland
are likely for a short time to pass under
rebel rule, and be hnrrassed as we were dur
ing the Rebellion, simply on account IF this
neglect. The way in which the colored
people Of Washington voted on Monday,
shows very plainly that if Congress had per.
formed its whole duty to our newly declared
citizens and to the country at large, we
would this fall, without shadow of doubt,
vote down the new rebel Constitution which
is being concocted at Annapolis, and place
The State again in the hands Of loyal men.
We trust that we will be able to do so even
without the aid of orr colored friends but
if we are disappointed i'll our expectations.
we will look to Congress and the colored
man for assistance. They and they alone
/ will be able to extricate us from the tolls
Of the Copperheads.
The Border State Convention, which is to
meet in Baltimore, Sept. II, will, we trust,
be a large and enthusiastic assemblage of
loyal men, without regard to color, and will
urge upon Congress prompt and thorough
action. The colored man must and will be
eniranchised. 1t is folly to delay it, and we
must leave no effort llnspared to have him
at the earliest day clothed with, and pro-
tected in, all the rights Of citizen and a
man.

THE GREAT ENTERPRISE OF THE AGE.-
The building of the Pacific Railroad, of
which FIVE hundred and seventeen miles are
now nearly completed, is by FAR the most
gigantic enterprise of the age, running as it
does for two thousand miles through a com
paratiye wilderness, but when completed
uniting the two great divisions of the coun.
try together, and doubtless destined to be-
come one Of the very best paying roads in
the world. We shall at some other time
express more fully our views Of this mag.
niheent work, our object at present being
merely to draw the attention Of our capital
lists to the article on our first page and the
ad 'ertisemcnt elsewhere, which give full
particulars.
