Think about 1t.

Among the reconstruction acts of Con-
gress is the XIVth Amendment, which pro.
yides, among other things, that neither the
United States nor any State shall assume or
pay any claim for the loss or emancipation
of any slave. But the recent democratic
platform declares the reconstruction acts of
Congress to be INSCRIPTIONS and unconsti-
tutional, revolutionary and void and the
Constitution of Maryland asserts that,
g Slavery having been abolished, under the
policy and authority of the United States,
compensation in consideration thereof, is
due from the United States"
Put this and that together, and it be
comes apparent that if the Copperheads get
control of the Government one of their first
acts will be to vote compensation for every
slave lost or emancipated during the war.
Voters, are you willing to be taxed to
pay for the four million slaves that it was
necessary to emancipate, to save the life of
the Nation? Remember that the men who
plunged the country into bloody and ex.
pensive war were the owners of the slaves
you will be called on to pay for, if the Dem.
ocratic party gets into power this Fall, and
if you are ready to be taxed for their benefit
vote for Seymour; if not, cast your ballot
for Grant. Think obout this matter.

Dropping the Disguise.

The Copperhead Democracy of Baltimore
City held convention, on Monday night
last, and resolved to drop the prefix of Soon
sentative" from their party organization, and
proclaim themselves henceforth "Demo-
Gratis - only. The Cecil Democrat of this
county still keeps up the old decoy flag Of
Conservative and Democrat, as q county
meeting under this nome de plume of the
rebel party is called through its columns of
last week. The Copperheads of this county
don't feel safe to trust themselves alone,
without those whom they beguiled and then
used to promote their own selfish ends
Those men who fell from the Union cause
are everywhere turning from their deceivers,
their eyes having been at last opened to the
real intent of the rebel party they have been
helping for the last two years, by the declar.
ations of another civil war by Frank Blair
and the Rebel Generals who took charge Of
the democratic machine at New York, and
are running it with view Of overturning
the Governments of the Reconstructed
Southern States, multiplying the laws of Con-
gress and again reviving the Lost Cause.

Messrs. Armstrong 4 Co. are putting up q
new foundry, 10 by so feet, on the ground

industry and perseverance they have added

very extensive foundry and machine shops.

"Let us Have Peace.o

Gen. Wade Hampton who was Sighting
Rebel from the beginning to the close Of
the war, is now rabid, red.mouthed Cop.
perhead. He went TO the New York Con.
vention and helped to nominate Seymour
and Blair, and is now doing all he can to-
ward their election. "a
After hisreturn home in July he talked
to his Rebel friends, at the first Democratic
ratification meeting he attended, in the fol.
lowing strain
1--WE can have no relief unless this great
Democratic party will come out and pledge
itself that we shall have fair election
that the White people of the South shall
vote: and want you all to register an oath
that when they do vote these votes shall
be counted, and If there is majority Of
lthite cotes, that you riU place Seymour
and Blair an the White House, in spite of all
Tie Jayonets that shall be brought against
them. l only want to see the election fair
and if they do that, even with the incubus
of black rule, we can carry the Southern
States" CApplause.]
Here. then, we have, from late General
in the Rebel army, and present leader it
the Democratic party, hearty and thorough
endorsement of Frank Blair's incendiary
letter, and un undisguised avowal of wha,
the party will do if it obtains the ascendancy.
And such language is not idle defamation.
1t is the same we heard in days gone by
and it culminated where but few of US though,
it would-in rebellion and war upon the
government. Shall we not, then, profit by
the bitter lesson taught US by these people,
and be careful that We do not again suffer
them to get into power?
Rather than submit to the will of the ma.
jority as expressed at the ballot box in 1860,
they plunged the country into costly and
bloody war. And experience has not YET
taught them that the minority in the coun
try will never be permitted to rule. En-
couraged by a hypocritical and traitorous
President, they have grown arrogant and
oyvtuearrng, anu VIII soon be ripe for new
rebellion. Elect Seymour and Blair thi.
Fall, and Constitutional Amendments, Re
construction laws, acts of Congress, State
Constitutions and all the barriers set up fol
the protection of the loyal people of the
country will be overturned and tramplet
under foot and we will be plunged once
more into anarchy and civil war.
Place Grant and Colfax in power, and
rampant Rebels and renegade Republicans
now so intensely blatant. will Immediately
stink, like whipped ours, into obscurity
the nation will once more have peace ant
prosperity, and all the citizens, without re
gard to color or condition, will have all theil
rights restored and guaranteed to them
Let US have peace.

The above communication Of our cores.
pondcnt reminds us that we took drive one
day this week, about four miles out of town !;
and such roads There lay the sharp, round
and fat, large and small stone, scattered all
over the road, knocking about loosely under
the horses feet, blocking the wheels, Grip
ping the teams, wearing out the tires Of
wagons, racking and shaking the vehicles to
pieces. The road mending in this county is
reduced to u system of highway robbery,
with a few honorable exceptions.
Look at the majority of hands employed
to work on the roads. How many of them
would any farmer like to employ at full
wages? See, in addition, numbers of them
lounging and .yiding, in order to put in the
day. There is no responsibility on the part
Of supervisors, aud the roads will never be
made better till the whole system is re.
formed
Tax PAYERS, your taxes are advancing
steadily, every year, for road purposes
They are moving steadily toward 500, 900
annually, and will reach that sum erelong.
If you don move in concert in this matter,
you may expect to be bankrupted by the
tax gathercr, while the roads are growing
rapidly worse. The business of the county
is retarded, and the value Of property re.
duced Oh account of bad roads.

The pale horse and his rider have made
another circuit through this District. On
last sunday we had two funerals ore was
that of child of James S. Mahoney, resid.

preceding Friday evening, and being unable
TO swim, was drowned In this terrible
affection, The bcrcaved parents have the SYM
pathies Of the entire community.
The other funeral was that of Jas. Moat,
who died rather unexpectedly on Friday
night, abelt o. clock, at his residence, near
Cherry Hill. lie was somewhat eccentric
man, without a family. He leaves consid.
cradle property to distant relatives. He
was in all the relations of life an upright,
honest man. His age was about 65 years.
This mogaiag, about o'clock, Charles

tel at Fair View, Qate Fox Chase,) was

But he could not have considered himself
dangerous, for he did not consult DR.. Clark,
who happened to be there for supper
About midnight he grew worse, and at the
hour stated his spirit passed away. tn.

grown-up children, and several grand chill

Drr NhIG:-I believe il is Democratic
axiom that the world is governed too much,
and that those parts Of it which are governed
least, are governed best. That this is pop
uar doctrine with the mass of those who
vote the Democratic ticket, so called, it can
scarcely be doubted. Laws for the protec-
ton OF property cannot be popular with men
who have no property to be prot ected, and
who are too apt to despoil or appropriate to
their own use the goods of others, nor can
ii be expected that laws passed for the pro-
lection Of others rights can be highly es
tccmed hy those engaged in the habitual in.
vasion Of those rights.
But am not writing an abstract political
essay | only intended TO call attention to
the application OF this Democratic dogma
to the county roads. The present season
has been exceedingly favorable: there has
not been one washing ram this season, and
yet the roads are rougher, and in many re.
spects worse, than they were last year, not.
withstanding the unprecedented rains which
time after time destroyed the work of the
supervisors.
l wish TO say to the supervisors that the
roads had better be governed little more,
Democratic authority TO the contrary, not
outstanding. Perhaps the taxpayers will
think that they are governed enough if some
other things should be neglected.
