The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1875-10-02
HEART.BROKEN.

"the editor of the Cecil Democrat talks like
in which a genuine, unfeigned sorrow was
expressed that the best and most honored
men of the party were leaving the Ring y
ridden organization, which arrogates to
itself the title of democratic Conserva-
tive" party. We heartily sympathize with
the strong man when stricken with deep
grief, at the downfall of his house, or party,
which, in this instance, amounts to the same
thing. Some weak people-and it is aston
ishing how many sane people arc affected
with this deplorable weakness-are moth
ing less than abject slaves to mere party
name. Now such liberty is more shame
than an honor. When a party has been
taken possession Of by we'll organized
band of knaves, who by well-devised and
well-executed system of fraud, are enabled
to control the whole party machinery, and
fill all the offices with their creatures, it
should be the honest pride of every man
worthy the name of American citizen, to
rebel at once against such disgraceful and
dishonest partisan bondage, as S. Teackle
Wallis, Hon. Morrison Harris and others in
this State have done, and are now doing.
1t is the merest delusion which such organs
as the Democrat attempt to persuade their
party into believing, that the party can
reform itself within the party. That this
is impossible, is shown by the power, or
rather fraud of the Ring in defeating Mr..
Hamilton, whose nomination in place of
Carroll's, fully three fourths of the Demo-
Gratis of the State desired. On this point
Mr.. Wallis, in his powerful letter of accept
ance, the most important parts of which
we publish to day, says:
1t is idle to talk about the public mind "
being "now at last awake" If, as hereto
fore, it does nothing but awake, it had as
we'll remain asleep. Equally puerile it is to
deliver homiles about the duty of good
men to 60 to the primaries and send better
representatives to the conventions. Good
men will be cheated as often as they 60,
for citizen who has to follow an honest
occupation for the bread of his family will
never be match, in tactics, for a trick
ster whose whole thought and business in
life is political chicane. The only relief is
to be found at the polls. 1t is to be found
in the determination of men of integrity
and sense to show, at every cost, that party
nomination shall no longer be equivalent to
election; that they will permit no ticket
whatever to be put upon them by fraud;
that they will not only not vote for un-
worthy candidates, but will not be led away
by considerations of personal respect for
nnd .;n;no, ont . nartv d;sdr,ce All over
the country men are rising I'D to the con-
viction that it is necessary for them to look
to something better ana wortnler when 'ney
