too much exposed to have adulation
poured into their ear. 1t was the
cause of the overthrow of too MANY OF
the thrones of Europe. We had not
heard that any Of the kings who had
OF late years fallen under the domini-
on OF Bonapartc, were in want OF
courtiers. 1t was ht that the king of
England should occasionally hear the
truth from his Commons, and no bet
ter opportunity than the present could
possibly present itself. The Secreta
~ OF State had objected to the idea OF
this being sinking country. He (Mr.
Canniug) might be rising, but the
country was sinking. He (Sir Franz
els BurdetD was of that opinion, and
there vas too much ground to believe
II would sink still lower, if a reform
did not speedily take place.
Mr. Whithiead replied to Mr.. Can.
ming, and after conversation, in
which several other members spoke,
the address was agreed to, and was
ordered TO be PIE ented to his majes,y

You are to consider well your duty and
to do it, it YOU desire to receive the appro-
baton OF the county. II is your duty to seek
and bring into nomination virtue and ia.
lenss-But you ought not to indulge your
individual whims at public expence or sa-
crihce. You ough, not TO turn the measure
YOU are the means of executing, to local
purposes.
As many of you contributed to carry this
measure when agreed on at REBELLION, you
are bound in honor not to abuse measure
ofyour own; and to employ the power you
possess, as legates, to effect local par-
pose will be au abuse. The arguments for
the mode of selection by delegates were, to
and guard agai' st thoughtless indiscretion"
No man venturcd to assign for a reason
that sit would enable the county to exclude
New Castle, Pencader or any other hun
bred from being represented in the Legis-
lature by men who were opposed to remov-
ing the Court house," For certainly had
such reason been assigned, contrary de-
cision would have taken place; and whasso-
ever was unfit to be avowed then, must be
unfit Tor you to execute.
In order to elucidate this point let US sup
pose that Wilmington, Newcastle and o.
Their portions of the county should lay the ir
heads together to remove the funds of New
ark academy to one Of their colleges, and,
besides pe,itioning the Legislature, should
carry plan of selection and election to ex.
clude Newark and its friends from Repre-
sentative. Is there any of you would think

tice and fair play require they should be

every plan to rob them is dishonorable and
unjust.
Perhaps it may be said the Bridge ques-
ZION was SO disposed of: yes it was, hu;
that was because New Castle and the op.
posing Hundreds refused the other DISPOSE

was over. The proposed disposition Of that

was extremely sor"yto find so much

Witnessed at the REBELLION meeting of tbs
o;h instant, and most sincerely regretted to
find that the intrigue of the New Castly
leaders had ins'nnaied itself into Prncade'
hnndred. Through the influence Of a cer.
tain gentleman, whose business naturally
gives him some Influence, considerable
portion of the c,,zcns of that hundred be-
came violently opposed to a certain local
measure, now in agitation, contrary to their
own interests ard majority Of the people
OF the hundred. The gentleman from Pen
cadcr who was so loquacious in opposition
to the cid and true method of forming the
county ticket, was Il few weeks ago, as is We
~ well known, an active adrocaic for the
removal ct the seat of justice, and is now as
| active in ohb5~Hon:---the reason Of this
sudden change deserves an expiaration.---
BY some accident he wa prevented from,
attending the Rvd-lon meeting Of the 24t
Of June, and did not happen to be placed op
the committee appointed at that meeting
for % meet ON a Subsequent, day, to draft .
petition tor the removal ct the seat OF jos.
tice, &c. &c. lmmediatev, upon hearing
tina, he was not ore of that committee, h.
changed sides, and went riding about thro
his neighoorhood. telling the ridiculous
story that new court house would cost the
co"nty 10000 dolla~s-ihat their taxes
would be doubled and trehlcd to paw this
and asserted the same in small meeting of
his own hundred, held for the purpose Of
consulting upon the measure. Now, what
are the people of Pencader hundred to
think of the weak, puerile and tickle crea-
ture, who would let the disappointment Of
Beng member of committee, influence
him in a matter Of so much consequence to
a majority of the inhabitants of New. Cas-
lie county? should not be disappointed to
see this gentleman, in case he should lose
his'election, Gas it is said he is now intrigue

li,ics altogether. l hope the citizens of
Pencader hundred viii be more circum-
spect In their choice, and not elect for their
representative mere zuea,ber c5cA, who
will change sides with every wind. The
station of representative requires more
frmness, than perhaps any other; and de-

unfit for that station. G..
