We appeal to the good people of the
county to vote thoughtfully this Fall, and
for their oun interests. They have been
liberal to fault, with the office hunters
long enough, and too long. When the
Republican party lost control Of the State
and county affairs, taxes were low and
real estate high. The people now find
themselves overrun with swarm of Offices,
never before known, with taxes higher and
real estate lower than ever before; and
yet this party in power, have held undivided
control for six long years, with every
year things growing worse. On the bord-
ers of our county every village and town is
tseming with industry. Oxford, in Penn
sylvania, is busy hive with manufacture
ing and other interest growing like young
giants. So, also, in Delaware, the little
sleepy towns of that State which have re-
manned in stata quo since the Swedish
fishermen reclaimed the forest from the
wilderness, have started into new life and
the busy hum of industry is everywhere
heard in their streets. But our town and
our county-were they ever as silent and
poor before? The spoiler has preyed upon
them for the last half dozen years; and we
have now the bitter fruits of this "Demo
cratic Conservative "party's rule in bank
ruptcy and general decay. We appeal to
every candid man to view the state of
affairs which surround US, and answer if
we have presented anything but a plain,
unvarnished picture.

- Widespread dissatisfaction reigns
among the party which the Doctor has
placed so emphatically on the old Seces-
sion, ante6ellum, platform. Some of the
noisy fellows swear loudly that they wont
support the ticket; but we have noticed
that this state of affairs periodically occurs.
The Ring" manages adroitly to nomi-
nate its favorites, and trusts to heal up all
dissensions and dissatisfaction in the cheat
ed party before the election, which it is
generally successful in doing. Two months
intervene between now and that important
event, by which time the "Ring" expects
to not hear single murmer of dissatisfac-
ton from the present growing soreheads;
and the expectation is we'll grounded; for
the same thing has been done before. And
"what has been done can be done again, :"
the old adage declares. When the time to
vote comes round the grumblers say "well'
with a long breath, "we guess well
stick to our party. We never have split a
ticket. No true dimocrat every splits his
ticket" And the "Ring" chuckles and
counts him in as the drover does his sheep.

For The Cecil Wing

For The Cecil Wing.
The Cecil Democrat in the article headed
our Ticket and Principles, gets off some
After brief puff at the ticket of which
| am willing to let the people judge, he
goes on to speak of the Principles which
the Ticket is supposed to represent after
this fashion: "The theory of our mixed
government was that the National Govern
ment was the creature of the States, &C."
This may be Democratic States right
revolutionary Principles, but it never was,
and is not now, the theory of men who
have ever made the origin and frame work
of our government the object of intelligent
study.
AS far back of the Virginia Convention,
which adopted the Federal constitution,
the objection urged in that convention by
Patrick Henry and those of his school,
was that the constitution was popular
document made by the people and not by
the States. "What right had the conven-
tion," said Mr.. Henry, "to say we the
States, instead of we the people,"
Gail along back in the days of yore;''
yes, back before the EDITOR of the Demo-
crat was thought of, and ever since, by
those who have thought for themselves,
unbiased by other objects than correct
understanding of the subjecu, the National
Government has been considered the crea-
ture of the people instead Of the States.
This absurd theory of the Democrat was
the foundation on which the late Confed-
eracy rested, and which proved as unsta-
BILE as the other shifting sands of expo
diency which that desperate organization
call Principles.

OUR MoTHERs-who were the best and
tidiest housewives in the world-excepting
our grandmothers.-took especial pride in
the possession of rows of tinware that glis-
tened like polished mirror. Every arti-
tie about their houses susceptible of polish,
including the brass knocker. was regularly
frightened until it fairly glstened. With
their primitive materak, such as Bath
brick, emery, rotten stone, etc, it was a
serious labor, albeit one of love. Nova
days, however, their daughters use Sapolio,
and in one hour can polish more articles
and do it better than they could in a whole
day. If you wish to excel your mothers in
the brightness Of your kitchen ware, use
Sapolio.

A CONTRAST.

The "Elkton Ring selected three can
didates residing in the town of Elkton,
with fair claims to fourth. The Republi-
can Convention selected one candidate from
Elkton, who was the unanimous choice of
all the Districts. The former party is for
the ring" and Ring" interest only;
the latter consults the interest and wishes
of the whole people, and aims to promote
the public welfare.
Our County Tickets this week placed
before the people of Cecil. We ask for it
a careful, thoughtful examination, with
minds purged of all party prejudice or big
otry. The election of these officers is not
strictly political partizan business; the
County Commissioners, especially, are
chosen to transact such business as init
mately concerns every property holder, as
much so as the affairs of bank or other
corporation interests it's stockholders
There is no political principle involved in
the business which comes before County
Commissioners, except in appointing in
competent officers, and this is sure to be at
the expense Of every man owning property
without regard to his political proclivities.
Tho ticket was the work of an intelligent,
conscientious body of men, assembled from
every District in the County; who calmly,
and to the best of their ability, and the
means at their disposal, placed it in the
field. Every interest and every quarter of
the County was consulted and represented
in the selection of that ticket. And we
believe, taking the ticket as whole, and
considering the number of names which
compose it. that better ticket was never
presented to the people of Cecil, and rarely,
if every, one as good. We challenge COM
parison from every commendable point of
view with the ticket which the Democrat
places SO squarely on the platform of the
old Secession and States Rights Democ-
racy, and are willing, without any drum
ming up or fiery appeals to the worst pas
sions and prcjudices of the human heart,
to leave the decision to the calm, deliber-
ate Judgment of the moral, the religious,
the industrious, the intelligent, and the
manhood of Cecil county. Our county
and State have been plundered by harpies
of the party in power numerically for the
last half dozen years, which we propose to
show up in the most conclusive manner in
the course of this canvass.

- The Pennsylvania Democrats, on
Wednesday, faithfully followed the ex-
ample of their brethren in Ohio and Mary
land in their reversion back to the anc lent
standards of the party before it was de-
moralizsd by Greeleyism. They did not
even attempt to frame an original platform,
but adopted that of the Ohio Convention
entire, with the exception of the revenue
tariff plank.
The Pennsylvania Democracy are shy of
Free Trade, and revenue planks. What
part have our " Conservatives " with this
party in its last departure back to it's old
ground, occupied before the war?

Surveyor, we are personally unacquainted
with. He was highly recommended by the
delegates from that District as first class
man.
We have above given brief, personal
sketch of our candidates, which the Repub-
lican party has placed in the field, with
confidence in its entire success. The sew
eral candidates composing the ticket have
been selected from all parts of the County
with the most scrupulous regard for the
local pride or interest of the Districts;
every District having candidate; the
Third and Ninth having two each, and the
fifth, though somewhat disappointed in
not securing her choice for Register, can
claim one of the Commissioners in common
with the Ninth. There is not name on
the ticket which is presented at the head
Of our columns to-day, that the religious,
the sober, the moral, the Industrious, the
conscientious, men and aoomen too, of the

ness for the place they are designed to fill,
it were difficult to select better.

able ticket which it has presented for the
suffrages of the people of this county.

AT THE LAST.

Three liitle words within my brain
Beat back aud forth their one refrain.
Three little words, whose dull distress
Means everything and nothingness,
Iubidden move my lips instead
OF other utterance; She is dead
Here lingering, we talked Of late
Behind the hedge-grown garden gate
TIL, smiling, ere the twilight fell
She babe nue. take a last farewell.
Those We're the final worls she said
But yesterday she Is dead
see the very gown she wore,
The color bad praised before
The swaying length, where she would pass
Made light rustic on the grass;
There ON the porch she turned her head
For one last smile--and she Is dead
Could have known what was TO come.
Those hoars bad not beea blind and dumb
| would have followed close with Death,
Have striven for every glanoe and breath
But now the final word is said.
The last look iaken--she Is dead.
We were not IoveIs--such as they
Who pledge iai:h 10 last for aye;
Net seems the Universe 10 me
A riddle without a KEY
What means the sunshine overhead,
The bloom below--now she is dead
So new my grief, It's sudden haze
Bewilders my accustomed WAYS;
And yet so old it seems my heart
Was never from its pain apart -
" hat was and is and shah be, wed
With that one sentence-She is dead.
