OF Kent county, who have had an opportunity Of OBJ
serving how well he has acquitted himself in the
only public station that he has been placed, prove
by their conduct the truth of the above remark and
however much Sully may abuse them for voting for
him, they are confrssedly men of as much discern
ment as Sully or his friends. Will it be admitted
by the democratic party in either county that Mr..
Hall is no Judge of talents, and that all the other
Kent county representatives of ignoramuses
and tools? SuIly may say so-he inay use his en-
beavers to persuade the people OF Kent county that
it is so, but that will not make it so.
The abuse of the Kent County democrats, does
appear to meto be the most unwise and improper
course that men as democrats could pursue but
those men regard not the OF the democ. attic
party when it presents obstacle to their prefer
ment. That this'is the case is evident from the
manner in which the Kent County repre- sentatiyes
have been treated by Sully and his aduants, and
this II it will have the effect defeat he democratic
party IN Kent County at the next election, is all they
wish. The election in Kent was obtaneo last fall by
a very small majority, and little matter they sup
pose may ,un the scales this year. and federal re-
presentation be elected but we have reason to re-
Jolce that this will not answer in Kent County, the
democratic patty there know too we'll the motive of
their representatives Tor acting as they did they
saw that DR.. Black appeared to be the only person
who could so ta unite the democratic party in the
legislature 10 p event the election of Mr.. Read,
and neither Mr. Hall nor the Kent County demo
Gratis had any wish hat he should be taken from the
ST ite senate, they anxious therefore that DR..
Black should be elected and Mr.. Read be defeated
and why because Mr.. Read was known to belong
to that little phalanx in New Castle County who
are endesvorng to advance the interests oil Mr.. l..
NJ Lane than whom person is more unpopular
IN Ken) and lew others, at the risk Of destroying
the whole democ ratio party.
In their anxiety 10 destroy DIR. Blacks reputation
as legislator, those WI tiers have denied to HIM the
credit whic is Justly his due on the subject of the
canal apprc priaton will merely beg leave to state
the facts connected with this and leave the peo-
pie to Judge Of them OF DR.. Black and all others as
they in their wisdom may think fit
The canal company's memorial was on DR..
Cochran's motion referred to committee of three
members with leave to report by bill or otherwise
Black, Spruance aud Polk were appointed, the two
latter disagreed with Dr. Black and reported as the
majority unfavorably, and he after an animated dis
cusson, and really interesting speech (Which it is
true not published because presume not made
ike certain bombas,ic Pententary speeches TO be
published) prevented his report from being adopt
ed and obtained leave TO bring bill, which With
nuch Labor aud difficulty he effected and obtained
he passage ol in the house Of epresrntatives-wha
1ltfie uy it net with in The senate never have yet
Neard, but thrs it extremely improbable that any
member there had much difficulty and trouble
with It as Doctor Black had 10 the house Of repre-
sen'atives Il is piiul thing TO detract from a
man what IS Justly his due, and regard for Truth
alone has induced me TO make this statement
