The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1870-07-16
The dissenters and sore-heads of Caro-

The dissenters and sore heads of Caro-
line have been having, for some weeks past,
lively time manufacturing Congressional
candidates, platforms, policies, ETC., for
the Republican party. This little band of
conspirators, who propose to take the Re-
publican party in charge, are confined to
the large, populous and progressive town
of Denton. The Editor of the american
Union having been disappointed in having
true Union man turned out of the Assis-
tant Assessors Office and himself put in,
has become the willing tool of a little
coterie of grog-shop patrons, who, by some
means, failed to get entirely over with
Andy johnson to the rebel camp, the place
where their natural afinities incline them
to- and have ever since regretted it. This
band Of Hessians have been indulging in
bad whisky and abuse of the Republican
party for some time part,-the Union serv-
ing as the organ to bring their plottings
and plannings before the world.
The Postmaster General has received a
great deal of their maudlin attention, on
the principle, we suppose, that dark or in
significant bodies can only be brought into
view by basking in reflected light. We
forbear to degrade the name of Cabinet
officer by noticing what such band of
Hessians would say. Their censure is
more to be desired than their praise.
In no part of the State, outside of the
little hamlet of Denton, has word been
uttered calculated to mar the harmony of
the Republican party. From that town,
the abiding place of political hucksters, the
public are weekly RECALLED with such para
graphs as the following, by the Union:
"We have on hand pretty fair stock of
political 60 bunsnaers - it is true, but these
are to be endured, commisserated, and
they possess, at least, one virtue not to be
found in the class above alluded to-that of
fidelity to principle"
We know Of no town in the State that
can present so good specimen of the "old
political hummer as Denton; but ." fitlel-
ity to principle" " is not feature of the
Denton hummer, as the notorious. anxiety
to affiliate with Andy johnson, and go to
Chase in preference to Grant in the last
Presidential canvass made this fact patent
to all.
If the Union and its jumping,ja are
disposed to go to the White Mans party,
let them not stand on the order of their
going, but go at once. The Republican
party have heard quite enough of their
lecturing. Cecil county is fair game for this
little party of political hacks and traders in
Denton, who have been arranging the
whole programme of the party, and dicta-
ting in true Lilapution style, who shall and
who shall not be candidates; who shall
pass muster as the pure Republican party,
and who shall be read out of the party and
buried out of sight as political fossils
Knowing the men who arrogate to them
selves SO much, and who use such dicta-
torial language, they become most ridicu-
lous in the eyes of every Republican in the
State, and their gasconade and CANNON
excites only smile of contempt, when it is
patent that the lingleaders in this at
tempted disturbance have no influence
either at home or out of the county, be-
yond their own votes. The humming and
drumming of the concern through the sum-
mer very much resembles a humble bees
nest early in June, when an investigation
reveals one big gray back drone making all
the noise.
