Byr0H
The Democrat, chastised with his own
rod, expcnds his last efforts in incoherent
raving, and cries to the public for sympa-
thy. Though the opportunity is more
favorable than ever to lay the scourge ON
his lacerated and bleeding back, such heart
rending shrieks in blind rage, as he made
last week, disarm us.
The public are appealed to to examine
THE Democrat and prove the purity of its
diction and general gentlemanly deport-
ment. For the sake of its editor, the pub
lie had better not Scarce an article can
be found in it for the last five years, which
is not filled with slurs and personal abuse
of some one, altogether foreign to the qucs-
tions it purports to discuss.
We know the editor has always plumcd
himself OH being finished satirist This
was fondly believed by-himself, to be his
forte. He is by this time aware-at least
the public are-that he is only bungler.
His satirical efforts, like Biddy's, are moth
ing more than coarse impudence. We hope
that for the future he will confine his edi-
torial efforts to legitimate criticism of pub
lie questions and newspaper articles, and
not interlard, as has been his invariable
custom, every other paragraph with per-
sonal epithet or coarse slur, not at all ger
name to the subject. If the disease, how
ever, is so deep seated as to require further
probing, we have longer and sharper lances
in reserve.

Delaware Democracy.

The White Mans Party" of Delaware
recently held State Convention in which
"They hereby declare that they do not
want and will not seek the negro vote, but
will rely exclusively upon the votes of white
men, hereby declaring that the Democratic
party of the State of Delaware is now as
it ever has been, exclusively white man 8
party, and they cordially invite the white
voters of the State without reference to
former divisions or association to unite with
them in the maintenance of the supremacy
of the white race in this State and to the
extent Of their ability throughout the Uni
ted States.'
The above will serve as text for our
Cecil Democracy, when it assemblies in
County Convention on Tuesday next. If
The Democrat is orthodox, the party forbid
all colored voters casting a ballot for one
of their candidates.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1870-09-03
The Democrat and the COlOrcd Men.

The Republican County Convention last
week afforded The Democrat fine oppor-
tunity to ridicule and make game Of the
colorcd men.
''1ndeed,' says that paper whose verac-
ity is unquostioned, it was noticed that
whenever their names were called they al
ways said aye Like the raven they had
been trained to one word, and they knew
no other. When it came to ballot for
delegates tickets were handed them and
they walked up like aut omata and deposited
them unquestioningly.'
Inplace Of the latter being the fact, every
man selected his ticket from among the
nominations, and voted for the men he pre-
ferred. But the thousand and upwards of
colored men in Cecil will give this and all
similar ISLANDERS, a fitting answer in Novem-
Der next. If they do not it will prove the
theory Of tho Democratic party to be true,
that they are not fit to be free.

Under this motto the editor of THE DEM
Ocrat recites his modest merits; and among
the many qualities that make a truly great
man, and for the first time brought to pub
lie notice, is his unequalled success as a
journalist. After enumerating them all,
the last and greatest is set forth lin these
words-"and find a majority of one thou

came editor, now turned to a majority of a
thousand in our favor, as evidenced by the
last two elections" This estimate, by the
evidence above cited, is about 80 per cent.
| too high; but this is much higher the truth
than The Democrat generally approaches :;
so for the sake of illustration we will let it
pass.
How ungrateful the great Democratic
party proved itself to be. Owing such in
calculable benefits to the unrivaled genius
who lifted it from the very ground where
it was trampled under the Radical heel, to
the dizzy cminence of a thousand majority
by the single and Incompatible efforts of a
great Journalist in one year after taking
possession of the editorial chair; and when
in the first flush of a conqueror's glory, he
asks the County Convention of 1867 to ac-
knowledge his services by giving him the
paltry nomination for States Attorney, he
receives out Of forty-five votes, the beggarly
compliment Of four orfue! Was everparty
SO ungrateful?
In the meantime, however, we will bring
up our Corps D'Afrique of thousand
strong, and punish this ungrateful party
for its neglect of the young Napoleon of
the press. None ever did appreciate the
legal merits Of our neighber except Mr..
Weldon, and the inhuman Democratic
pack tore lin in pieces. Was it in revenge
for this prescience?
