Under such circumstances it was, fellow c,Izen
that the majority continued to support Dr.. Black
ahd every man possessed OF common sense will
am sure, JOIN me in saying il they had done Other
wise, after they had been thus insulted and djca,
10 by three OF their colleagues they would have been
unworthy the trust you have repossd in them.
The foregoing | give as conclusive answer OsI
the railing OF Fair Play and Two thirds OF his piec
why the majority adhered to their own candidate
III 'hey had done otherwise he would have lauphs
al them for their cullibility but they were moi col
ing TO Jump into The pit which Fair Play and I'D
friends HAD dug Tor them. They knew Their dvIT
oetter--and now the ladder is licked from uriderl
leet OF me three, and they are held up as obeclc
punhc scorn. IN dear-the grapes are uery SON.
ana what sad set OF scrubs the majority oil ihss
sisla ure were, tina: they would not be bamboogst-
pu' would as Far Play 'RoaniRgiy complains, stick
IKE ieeches to their own candidate.
Far Play. accuses Dir. Black OF having used hs
influence he acknowledges he has in his own neigh
borhood in corertty opposing the election Of Msan
Chandler, Seal. Reynolds and Weldon--whls l.
appeared ope ly 10 cspouse them.
The answer is, a total denial of the truth Of tie
sharSe. III. Black did no such thng--ncr didEe
"rHe circular letters 10 cnjOLe them after the election
o support his interest, as Fair Play has also asserted
ms IS fatty denied by Messrs. Seal and Chandler
in 4 10
Shich he was not bound TO do but strong in the JUS
ice OF his cause, be throws the gauntlet Of defiance
i Far Play. and dares him to produce single idt
Vt procf 10 justify or support his assertions. The
influence OF DR. Black in his own immediate neigh
is the highest eulogy Fair Play could have
Bestowed on him and If he is thus held in esteem
nd respect, where he is best known, among hsim'
MEDIATE nelghbors, we may be sure he is an eslma
ne man-and while the talents and abilities OF M
sead are acknowledged, in which Vox Popul M
ISIS Di' Black is ever way his equal, Fair iTF
nay De asked how the influence OF Mr. Read among
Us helEhbors stands. Bui there are Other clltGa'
'aHces wen known TO the public, but which I'll Oh
eCessary 10 discuss here, respecting Mr.. keaa
nav rendered 1t impossible he should have the tS'
lace IL the power Of the People to bestow confer
cd on him. and be sent forth as fit sample oil The
emocracy of Delaware.
FAR Play says there was majority, and that
laJority Is not majority, and he proves this si0
ism by the single expression OF management; oui
presume the members from Kent will rot e'l
lemseives much behoden to Fair Play for chaFa'
using them as being men of such weak lnlellses
at they were led about blind folded by the mem
ers from New Castle. without having viii olnea
Tn--what, majority sticking to their caFdda'
sc ieeches against their own opinion, riSNm tsMa,
;. bul the truth is, that Far Play knows W4'
c duty oil the minority to have voted with the ma
rty, and feeling this to be the case he is driven
e"d his friends by quibbling sophistry, as he cav
y meet the question on the ground Of simple 'FuHl
ME on the contrary, Vox Populi has to state 'I'
i'h' and the truth only, to be borne out comps'H
all his conclusions
