IN favor OF aroher, To whom the federaiiss ikeNis
gave their support
J. The Calm Observer knew that Mr.. Du Point ha
oeen elected as democrat TO the senate of thi
state ny the votes Of the democratic party HI
Knew he had been put on the ticket by the delegate
OF New Castle county, when Mr.. Du Pont, was him
sell present, and sotenly promised to give his sup
port to the ticket there formed. He knew he hac
been sent to Dover to meet the delegates from tn,
other counties, to select candidates to be supported
Tor members OF Congress, and be was informed tina
lr. Du Font, IN common with the other delegates
then engaged to give his entire support TO c. A
Rodney and Willard Hall as the candidates of tn,
democra ratio party throughout the state.
The Calm Observer was informed, before tina
election, that MIR Du Pont meant to rolate his pro
nase and the trust reposed in his honor and integri
ity, by deserving his party, and voting for Mr.
M Lane, the federal candidate and he knew that MIR
Du Pont had at the election, violated his poiitica
integrity, and had given Mr.. M'Lane all his sup
port and all his interest, against MIR. Willard Hal
whom ne had Sotemnty pledged himself to vote fol
at the meeting, at Dover.
The Calm Observer, had heard that MIR, Du Pom
had declared at Dover; in Boosting manner, thai
ne held the keys Of the State and that no Senators
TO Congress should be appointed, unless suited Il
has r1elOS, and the Calm Observer had had certi6
cate put into his hands, from MIR. VIM Hopkins, :
representative to this effect.
Under these circumstances the Calm Observe,
considered himself bound by sacred daty to his
tettoU citizens to make the publication he did. in
order to draw public attention to the facts therein
stated, and that the ntrgues and corruptons of pub
ttc men might be traced to their source, and tina,
those who had practised them might be held I'D in
their true and undiSguised colours before the people
Mr.. Du Pont, in reply, denied that he had endea.
vored to draw over any member TO vote against Mr.
Rodney In consequence, the Calm Observer, fel,
himself bound in justice and candor, to name Mr..
Alrichs Ryland as the gentleman, to whom he had
alluded.
For having thus dared to consult the best and
dearest interests ofhis fellow citizens Mr. Du Pont,
with view to stife inquiry, has been pleased
to honor the Calm Observer with the designations
OF lar and puppy Ifthese designations had been
deserved, then indeed The Calm Observer would ieel
himself disgraced by having merted them but in.
stead OF lying he has been telling the trath-but
how does the case stand with Mr.. v. Du Pont ?
when he violated the promise he made at the Red
Lion, to support the Dbole democratic ticket, where
was then his regard for truth when he voted for
MIR. M'Lane against MIR. Hall, contrary 10 his
pledge at Dover, how did this comport vith truth i?
When he applied to Mr.. Arichs Ryland to support
Mr.. M'Lane for senator and then desired it, bow
does THIS quadrate with the truth y When he says
he never deprived Mr. Rodney or tried to do so, OF
"a vote, and we, voted against him himself, where
was his love Of truth ? Whether from these facts,
the epithets bestowed on the Calm Observer do not
eIactty suit Mr.. Du Pont himself, he leaves TO his
fellow citizens to say, for the truth lcas not IN him.
In any OF these instances qti capit lille facit-let
the CALLED Jade vince, the cap will fit those who
wear il, but the Calm Observer unswerved by me-
naces, unmoved by threats, will continue, at all
risques and at every hazard, TO unmaSk and detect
the intfigaeS and corruptionS of public men when
ever he can do SO. He cannot descend to the leceI
TO which MIR Du Pont has reduced himsef--he has
brought himself to it by his own handy work, and
by his own departure from political integrty--but
let MIR. Du Point prore he has always acted with
political honesty--that he has never intrigued or
sacrificed the democratic parity blu, has always per-
formed the pledges and promises he gave, and then
the Calm Observer will quickly meet him face to
face, in any way, or in any manner.
A CALM OBSERVER.
AS the Editor of the Gazette has inserted Mr..
Du Points piece, candor and common Justice will
induce him to give this number of the Calm OBJ
server in reply, also place in his paper.

Mr. WILsoN-When man tells publicly lie and is pub

to be done?
