The ElktOn Black Republican Club.

The Club held its second meeting at the
Court House, on Saturday night last The
old members, converts from the old Pagan
Democratic party to the new political
evavgel of Sumner and Greeley, did not
make their appearance. A few of the
younger were present. The committees
which were t" report permanent officers
and laws for the club didn't appear either,
and were continued. The preachers of the
new dispensation were called on to exhort,
they refused to bark; although there was
large congregation of Grant infidels col
lected and filled up the auditorium of the
house, eager to hear the experience of the
new converts. A large crowd Of niggers,"
as the old Pagan Democrats used to call
the colored men, was standing round on
the outside to hear the glad tjdings from
Massa Sumner and Massa Greeley, but the
hungry multitude received not a word; and
after little while the liberal brethren, or
the two or three that had gathered togeth-
er, hung their heads and,-shall we write
it ?-s-n-e-a-k-e d away. This band of
peaceful brothers needs neither officers or
laws. They are harmless as doves and
wise as serpents too, of the garter snake
family; and are fond of toad-eating like
that serpent. The band had been engaged
for the evening at a reduced price, but if
they didn't get pay in advance we fear for
the result, unless they accept confederate
money for pay. There used to be an old
Bourbon organ published here, called The
Cecil Democrat, edited by one Cruikshank;
they both belonged to the old red sandstone
period. He used to take special delight in
picturing these black-republican gather
ings for his admiring readers He called
them by quaint names and dressed them
up in fantastic costume. i" Black and TAM
"pie-bald, "mongrels," were few of
his favorite names for anything which,
smacked of Sumner or Greeley. How that
old red sandstone Editor would enjoy
swooping down on this wool gathering
club of "old Greeley" as he used to style
the Cchappaqua wood-chopper, and giving
it fits
If none of their own preachers have the
courage to speak the next night at the
club, we hope that some Republican will
tell these weak brethren and the outside
crowd about the great Greeley victories
that have been achieved in North Carolina,
Vermont and Maine; this might prevent
their sinking hearts from going down into
their boots entirely.

Hear Hon. Jesse c. Dickey, late member
of CONGRESS from this district:

New LONDON, July "a, 1872.
Henry Cope & Co.-Gentlemen-Though
have not been in the practice of giving
certificates to those who manufacture the
Phosphates which / have used, yet I feel
that it is due to Henry Cope & Co., to say
that of the different Phosphates that have
tried, and the various tests which l have
made, Cope's Phosphate was far superior
to any. Some other brands l could not be
induced to use at half the price they sell,
for the only good wheat | had this year
was where l used Cope's Bone Phosphate.
On grass it pays we'll. For corn last year
was much pleased, and in fact on every
crop used am confident that was we'll
remunerated. And so long as your estab-
lishment is open for the inspection of the
public, and your Phosphate continues to
make two blades of grass to grow where
but one grew before. shall never use any
other except by the way of test.
Yours truly, JESSE c. DICKEY.

"THE NEWS FROM MAINE"

The news from Maine which We have to
record this week is distressing to the Gree
ley brag party. The Republicans have
swept the pine tree State as it has never
been swept but once before, electing their
Governor by 10000 majority and carrying
every Congressional District. Last year
the State Senate stood &c Republicans, 8
Democrats and vacancies; on Monday
last, the Senate was elected unanimously
Republican. Last year the House was
composed of 112 Republicans aud 80 DEM
ocrats, which was nearly Republicans to
one Democrat; this year the report is at
the writing of this paragraph that the Re-
publicans have carried every county in
the State. This is a victory that even the
most sanguine Of the Republicans had not
dreamed of. 1t would be difficult to i'm
agine more signal defeat; and conclusive
ly fixes Greeley's fate. In the language Of
the times it may be said that Greeleyism
has gone up. The coalition between Gree
ley and his sore head Republicans and the
Democrats is beaten before the fight fairly
opens.
Notwithstanding this terrible defeat, the
New York Tribune and other Democratic
papers claim that the Maine result, as well
as Vermont and North Carolina show
heavy "Liberal gains. The Greeley
coalition has gained $500 in Maine the 7ri-
6uns asserts. Such childish folly becomes
contemplate in paper Of such manly pro-
portions as one of the "great dailies - of
New York. Such absurd sentences deceive
no body, for even the most infantile intel
lects among the old Democrats, smile grim
ly at such dying, desperate struggles
When the issue comes squarely up in No
vember between Grant and Greeley, the
majority in favor of the former will be
more likely to be over than under 20, 600.
But if the Greeleyites are satisfied with
such results as Maine has given, we have
no disposition to complain. We are rather
glad for their sake, and can promise them
with confidence, plenty more of the same
sort in October. You foxy old Democrats
who put old Chappaqua ON the track against
Grant, may as well retire him. In Pres
idential race he will prove mere stumb-
ling pillow horse. Almost any Democratic
scrub could have done better than Greeley.
1t is beginning to look as though he would
not get single Northern State, and is
doomed to be the worst lbeaten Presiden-
tial candidate-not emphatically side or
third party candidate-that ever run.
Pennsylvania and Indiana which the
"Liberals are now boasting on, as they
did ON Maine are destined to give them a
similar defeat and by the fifth of Novem-
Der Greeley will be SO far behind that he
will be not only out of sight but out of
hearing.
Crab" for Greeley! How do you like
your Black Republican bargain, Bour-
bon friends?
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1872-09-14

We hope our Republican friends will
not speak harshly of, or despitefully use
the few Republicans whose personal friend
ship and old political associations, give
them laundering to vote for Mr.. Greeley.
If they must allow them to crafty their
desire in peace. They need not hopelessly
compromise their Republican principles by
following this fancy. After November
there will be no more Greeleyism or Greeley.
They can then resume their places in the
Republican party, and help push forward
the great principles which they profess
and honestly we suppose-to think they are
the better subscribing, by voting for Greeley.
The Democrats are hoping to secure them
for future use. Let us give them no excuse
to desert to the enemy when the Greeley
.fasco is ended, by branding them as traitors
to principle and deserters. They are
doubtless honest, but mistaken in their
opinions, and the course they have taken
to effect more thoroughly and speedily
the work of the Republican party. The
trouble with them is that they have believ-
ed the falsehoods which have been published
about General Grant by men who covered
their jealousy, envy and murcenary motives,
by their high position, and extravagant
professions of "Reform." and desire to
purify the politics of the country. Our
misled friends have been unfortunately too
credulous, and have fallen the victims and
dupes of designing men.

Throwing OF the Sleeps Clothing.


This is what we find in last weeks DEM
crat:
"Men attached to Democratic principles
and desiring the success of the Democratic
party cannot repress pang at sight of so
much folly in the name of principle as has
been exhibited at Louisville in the past few
days. Principle is a valuable capital to
take stock in, but care must be taken lest
it become laughing Stock
The last clause here describes exactly the
kind of stock the Democrats have taken in
Greeley and the Liberals. 1t is "laughing
stock" for the whole country. But con-
slider the first clause above quoted, ye Re-
publicaus, who have momentarily gone
astray. "Men attached to Democrtic prin-
eiples and desiring the success of the Demo-
cratic party" Why bless us, didn't the
Democratic party at Baltimore, through its
President, James r. Doolittle, distinctly
and most emphatically proclaim to the
world that it placed all it's time -honored
principles under foot, and took up in their
stead the Republican principles enunciated
and laid down in the Cincinnati Platform
Nothing can be found in any Democratic
platform anything like these. And now
we are told by the old mouth-piece of the
Cecil Democracy that the holding of a
straight-out Democratic Convention and
proclaiming platform of undisguised
Democratic principles is only exhibiting
"folly in the name of principle" Accord
ing to this, the placing Democratic princi-
Piles under foot, sinking the very name of
that party and endorsing the Republican
doctrines put forth at Cincinnati, and ac-
cepting the candidates. in reality is only a
sham and trick to promote the "success of
the Democratic party" Was ever. a more
unblushing piece of rascality attempted
We hope that no Republican is so dull as
not to sec the real intention of that party.
We also hope that no honest Democrat
who may heretofore have worked with
these party leaders, will be found acting
with murcenary politicians who are capa-
Bile of resorting to such audacious knavery
to gain power. They have deliberately
disguised their name and denied their prin-
ciples, and adopted new name and new,
profession of principle to cheat their way to
power.

Church Gambling.

Tie Wig of last week contained an arti-

was read by majority of your readers with
great satisfaction. This practice has been
growing gradually, not only in this, but in
all christian communities for some time
past, and with evident pleasure we now see
that great lever of civilization and CHAR
rier of crime THE press-endeavoring to
put 4 stop to this nefarious practice. A
young Miss scarce in her teens, who here
tofor had been noted for her modesty now
advances boldly and with enough brass in
her manners toenclose the church and yard
with metallic fence informs you she is
endeavoring to get such or such an article,
and presenting her book demands some
thing from you to help build the Mount
Sinai Fisrt Bombastic Church and Parson-
age, although you may have contributed to
this object previously, it makes but little
difference, for she will stick to you until
you contribute something to get rid of her,
and mentally exclaim. "what bold piece"

ness enough to keep yourself and family
from the poor house and you felt yourself
constrained to give to not only one but to
all these beggars, for fear Of losing their
patronage or mourning their displeasure.
These same persons, who consider they
have a perfect right to gamble with chances
at fairs, look upon quiet game of euchre
with holy horror and imagine they would
be contaminated if brought in contact with
game of cards; thereby straining at a
gnat and swallowing camel" Let us
have no more of this hypocritical gam
bling, but when money is required for
church purposes obtain it in a legitimate
manner and not by using the devices of
the devil. X.
