successor to Mr.. Rodney resigned. Upon ballot.
ing it appeared that New Castle had Ia votes, and
Sussex 8, New Castle being thus fixed upon, the
caucus entered into balloting for the New Castle
candidate The result was, for S. III. Black 10 votes,
for J. r. Black 5--for Victor Du Pont flor
VIM. Cooch i. Dr. Black thus having majority,
the question was put, for those to rise who would
support him. All rose, except Messrs. Dupont,
Reynolds and Thomas. The question was then
reversed, aud those were requested to rise, who
would not agree to support DIR. BLACK. Messs. Du-
pont and Thomas rose. Mr.. Reynolds, probably
did not hear the question. Caucus then broke up.
We have now given correct statement OF the pro-
ceedngs of this last caucus. We are Wiling to
pledge our reputation upon its correctness, and we
defy any man 10 deny its truth. Now then, we tri-
umphantly coll the attention OF the people to this
caucus. Who, we now ask, is to blame on account
of the non election of United States Senator'S. You
have been told, that DR.. Black and his friends are
perfectly innocent, and undeservDg of any censure.l
You have been told that they always ready to-
take up another candidate, and that the sole reason
why no Senators were elected, was, that three gen
itlcmen refused to give up Mr.. Read, and would not
consent to take up any other candidate. This we
denied, and we promised you facts to supper, what
we said. Have we not given you facts Look at
the proceedings of the caucus, which we have just
laid before you. Where are the friends of MIR.

1.-THE proceedings Of this last caucus speak for them
selves. Do they not clearly show, that these gen
|emcn who are called the friends of MIR. Read, did
abandon MIR. Read, ano take up another gentleman,
and that the friends of DIR. Black Notwithstanding
THE letter Of resignaton) refused TO abandon Dr.
Black, and take up any other man, but that they de-
lermlned to sacrifice their faith and the democratic
party, rather than take up any man IN his stead
Now, upon whom rests the blame Can there be q
doubt. Can any man in his senses, hesitate one mo
imenr, in ascribing all The blame to Dr. Black and
ibis party. Will the people submit to such conduct
las this 1t cannot be that the democratic parry oil
this state, will countenance the conduct OF delegates
who decided, that Delaware should have no Senator
lin the Senate of the United States, unless DR.. Black
was one. Can the democratic party OF New Castle
Icounty submit to the insult that has been offered
them. majority of tlei delegates have told them
THAT there is not among them one man who IS nj for
i he Senate Of the United States, except DR.. Black.
mo, no 1t cannot be that such insoleuce as this
lean be tolerated There is still we believe, re-
Ideeming spirit in the people. The spirit OF eIgh-
hundred and twenty one, we trust is not yet ex-
Itinct. Again let it arise in its might and again lei
liz hurl this political charlatan from his throne.
THESE false and traitorous delegates too need les
son lie, the people teach this boastng majority,
tha, it is not the will OF majority of delegates that
lnust rule but the will Of majority OF the people
Teach them as you did in 1921, that though ma
Iiorty OF representatives may make law, yet that a
majority OF the people may turn them out Nut lei
lus for moment look back at this last caucus. We
have before stated that this was entered into
on the part of Messrs. Dupont, Reynolds and Thorn
as in a spirit of compromse, they having understood
from Weldon who received the letter TO which VIZ
!, have alluded, that DIR Black had resigned his pre-
! tensions. This being the case, they thought it the
$ duty abandon MIR. Read, which, Gas the proceed
lngs which we have stated show,) they accordingly
. did The proposition of DIR. Black with regard tc
pledeing, first excited in those gentlemen, suspicion
1 the trick that had been played them. This put then
on the alert. and they determined to watch the move
