ELKTON, MARCH &c, 1870.
Giving nn the Eight.

In column and half of dismal SEN
fences, long drawn out, The Democrat, last
week, gives up the fight and ''slops over. :"
equity :" this valiant knight used to cry,
and taunt the colored man from a safe dis
lance but at the first signal Of his organ
ization for the trial of strength on an equal
footing, armed with the ballot, this Ajax
of the Democracy of Cecil, has violent
fit of the shakes. Possess your soul in
peace, and fight gallantly. Don't allow
the colored voter to excaim with Caesar,
when he met pusilanimeus foe, ''ceni,
ridi 9ict.' Let the remnants of chivalry
fight CALAMITY, and display in the face of
real danger, some of that prowess there
has been SO much beasting of in Tie DEM
ocrdt. Don't wilt and shuttle out at the
first sound of the busle. The negro has
much greater love for his old master, who
used to administer wholesome thirty-nine
on the bare back for his own good than he
has for the pie-bald Republicans, and with
out doubt will vote the way their kind mas
ter wishes, which was always Democratic
in the good old times, and Copperhead in
the new.
Don't be mewing and pulling SO, crying
and signing, wailing and railing, groaning
and moaning, bowling and growing, pin
ing and whining, jumping and humping,
dancing and prancing, shouting and pout-
ing, but keep UP the steady stream of abuse.
Throw dirt at Mr. Torbert, as valiantly as
whilom at the Postmaster General, till he
passed out of reach and it fell back in the
thrower's face
At least be consistent. Have some method
in your madness. Don't tell the Coming
Man," with the ballot in his hand, one
week, that the Democratic party has done
more for him in this State than the Repub-
licans; that they gave him the right to tes-
tify before courts of justice, and that the
Republicans made the Constitution with
the word uhHe in it, in "a, and denied him
in the Convention Of Southern Loyalsts at
Philadelphia, ETC., ETC.; and in the next
issue declare eternal enmity of the Copper
head party to according him the ballot and
proclaim his dumb ignorance hopeless
beyond the power Of education to reclaim.
Stick to some line of policy for the show of
consistency, if for Nothing else, even though
it be as helpless as the task imposed upon
Sisyphus, of rolling a stone to the top of
the hill, only to slip and return to the bot
tom. Don't
Wire in and wire out, and leave the peo-
pie still in doubt.
Whether the shake that made the track
was seing South or coming back"
Our Cecil snake has strong southern in
clination, but the South is becoming ex-
ceedingly uncomfortable for Cepperheads
and those dreaded "tramplers in Mary
land, The Democrat so long heoted at in
derision, are coming uncomfortably near
his snakeship, so that the serpent's head is
in imminent danger of the avengers heel,
even in MY Maryland"
Well, the rebels imported from Virginia
and adjacent States to Maryland. under the
fostering care Of Gov. Swami and Andy
johnson, have had a long respite, and free
access to the public crib, they should be
prepared calmly te meet their fate for in
the very nature of things, the avenging
Nemesis was sure to find them out at last.
God would not be just if the cohorts of re-
bellon and treason should enjoy undis-
turbed license in this State, and their great
crimes cry to Heaven for vengeance He
is Just. and therefore retribution is certain
