we the ingredients of which the Into oath-bound locofooci district meeting, held in Kikton, was composed, we foresaw the olivets it would produce, not only so far as they have trails fnrthci ahead, to the time when the disgust of the people of the comity, as yet only felt, or ai most expressed in indignant words, shall come down upon them by acts and votes. We foresaw the power of the blow contained in that exposition ami knew il would Home We foresaw and we said that the sting of its lash would make even the thick -hided Cecil Democrat Cecil Democrat, whose pompous little Editor, with an affected dignity, as laughable as it was ridiculous, when last he ventured a contest with this tired of the himself olf the field, and The Whig was to have no iKilin: Iniew and we said that onr of the of that meeting, would make him give himself the lit. The exposition of that ilenr plot of as the apples of their here in Elkton with all their cunning by locofoco olllcc-holdcrs and locofoco office seekers and locofoco parly hacks to bind the people of the county on their solemn illicmitioiH to sustain and support limn against a power which they fear may take theollices from them, (for that is the whole design of the movement,) exposure of this darling scheme, the offspring of all their tactics and trickery, was too much lo bo endured a commotion was running to ami fro of llio faithful caucuses were it was found necessary that The Cecil Demon at should unbuckle its dignity (111) and come away down with all its force to notice The Cecil and arrest if possible lire effect of a blow so unlocked for and theateniug such disastrous conseeptonces. Well let us see how much will he made of it. How is the case of those oath-hound locotoco odlcc holders and hunters, (for iioleninli) declare and has all the force of an oath, even in a court of law,) atlbctcd in the K-ftSt urgj'cc by the fact that the Editor of this paper holds an office? liok'niig office wc did, nevertheless, expose their political characters and their plot.

Whatever may he nor position, they aro what wc showed them to he and who wo showed them to be arc. nearly all, the old, galled and jaded hacks of locofocoisim in this town of Elkton, trying to nrcnr in the people of Cecil County lo stand by and support the'in, and assist them to keep themselves and their tools in office hereafter as heretofore. Such is the whole matter in a nut shell: ami so let there lie no dodging on the question whatever or wherever ire me does not affect the position of those signers we have numbered and shown Up that parly of chaps iu their inanecuvriug for the spoils, and we leave them in the hands of the people of the county who, as far as wc are concerned, arc pcifectly at liberty lo he led hv the nose ami worn in to they choose. So far as the main issue between The Whip and The l)emucnd on this subject is concerned the above might he sufficient, but the sidewise intimations of that paper seem to require and shall have a little attention, in as few words as we find possible. That wc have been several times elected Clerk to the County Commissioners and now hold that office, which has been magnified into so much importance by The Democrat, is most true.

As that paper ought to admit wo did our share to elect the present Commissioners and though wc had influential friends enough, who have commanded and still shall command our services and who have and still shall have our thanks, it was not through them we were elected. The office is of that secondary character, ns to approach the nature of a private clerkship County Commissioners have about the same right lo select their clerk unquestioned, as the Clcik of the Circuit Court has to Select a clerk for his office; the present Com-, missioners thought we knew the duties of the office better than nny one else they were likely to get (certainly not a censurable rule of action,) and after their election, when we applied fur the office they did not in their choice. what authority The Democrat says wc moved influential friends in our behalf and have requited their kindness by utter indifference, wc do not know, but wc here give il our authority to say that (lie insinuation is an unqualified falsehood, wherever started and whenever repealed, and so let it rest till the assertion is avowed. Iu conclusion on this part of he subject: We have been elected to office because we were thought to be fit for ii and because we had rendered such services as wcie held to entitle us to it. We have been elected in spite of the most desperate efforts of the locofoco wireworkers and leaders here in Elkton, on every the Commissioners first on onr account and then against ns personally.

We have done the work of the office and earned every cent we have received, and while the county Commissioners and all friendly people shall have our i thanks, when wc retire we will be under no more obligation to them Ilian they are lo us, and (bough this language may horrify the sensitive Democrat or such persons as those celebrated we arc not afraid lo useil to the independent voting men of Cecil County, who will sec more differences than one between our position ns nn office holder and that of the oath-bound pack we exposed who were exposed because of their attempt to I wear in the people before (heir plans were discovered, and not because they held or hunted office. This brings us on in our notice of The Democrat's article to consider next the case of the ex whig to whom wc affixed iil In per of a Now the slightest on the part of any render ought to have enabled him to see the necessity of affixing (hose words. It is simply shallntfnfM that attributes them to a Mr. Edward E- Foard, formerly a whig sheriff', and thus possessing consequence as a whig, we Hud meeting and signing a pledge to persecute and defi at all members of the American Party. There was a reason for this and we gave it in those words.

It was our business to explain his somerset and we did. We will new give it in an ampler paragraph. he joined the Know says the Democrat, would have escaped alleged sneer.) Now, be it know that when Know Nolhingisin slartj ted here this ex-whig sheriff jumped into it like a frog into a pond, going clear under. Know Nolhingisin got into power in Delaware and a Prohibitory Liquor I.aw was enacted there and then this ex-whig Sheriff' tinned tail and hopped out of it, like a frog from a pond when the water is too pure, culling it temperance and next we find this ex-whig sheriff jumping headlong, with genuine ftog-likc jerk, into the green, scummy, muddy pool of oath-ljunnd of which was explained by onr pregnant little if a which (ho Editor of the Democrat seems disposed lo try to turn to account. It takes a better dodge than that 10 draw attention from the main issue.

No 11 is not an is only a true and a deserved and one of 1 which the ex-whig sheriff cannot complain, no i. a martyr of in this connexion, any more than the Democrat can, with or without his suggestion, insinuate that on the score of gratitude, services, or cm; other score, between Us, the balance is in his favor. remarks are forced upon us; now, is there enough said on this point. Ending this article, we ask the people of i the county to keep in mind that pledge of the Elkton character and posi- tion ol its signers and their purposes and in- teulions. We shall see if a few managers and tricksters here can sn-eny in the people of Cecil county In serve and obey them as the unifiers of the Democratic party of the county.

J. lie has been for several months afflicted with disease of the heart and his death for weeks past has been daily expected.

His exact ace is not known to ns but We believe it was about fifty one years. He was interred at dreenmount in Baltimore' on Thursday evening. Judge Constable was a native of Kent County and studied law in Chestertown in the office of Judge Chambers. Soon after his admission to the bar he removed to Harford county; subsequently he went to Baltimore and after remaining there a short time came to Cecil which continued to he his home until bis death, lie was a lawyer of great tact and brilliancy, as an advocate at the bar he possessed it markable power, and he filled his seal on the bench with great ability. He was elected to Congress in ISI.I, to the I Reform Convention in 1850 and to the Judgesibp in 1851.

The vacancy occasioned by his death will be filled by the (iovernor until November when the place will be filled by election.
