American watchman and Delaware advertiser. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1822-1828, 1824-04-30

We publish to day the proceedings of county
meeting held at Dover on the 24th inst composed
indiscrimnateiy, of both political parties. The
decision on the Presidential question is what we ex
pected, and it is decisive of the fact that the eau
Gus candidate has not the slightest chance in the
State OF Delaware, under any possible circumstan
ces. We verify believe, that if vote was taken
throughout the State in the modt adopted at Do
yer (by baLlO) the fairest possible mode of ascer-
tanning the sentiments OF the people, Mr. Crawford
would not receive 100 votes in the or 5000 votes
of Delaware.
We regret, that it was thought advisable on this
occasion to introduce the subject OF the tariff 1t
certainly has no connection with the Presidential
question; and it places many who fully sympathise
with the meeting on the question, under the un
pleasant necessity OF excepting TO their statements
and conclusions OH the other. We did not expect,
after all the light which has been shed on this sub
iect, to hear our agricultural brethren in Kent de-
claiming against the protection OF manufactures as
tending TO inure the interests OF agriculture. We
did suppose that this stale and antidelnVian preju.
dice was as completely exploded in our little State,
as il has become in all the other agricultural dis
trcts of the Union. We find that in all the States,
purely agricultural, N. York, Pennsylvania N. Jer.
sey, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, and we did
hope that we might have added Delaware, the tariff
is supported upon conviction that it will prove es-
sentiay beneficial to the farmer. No State depends
more upon agriculture and manufactures than Del
aware. Her foreign commerce is gone-and if
some means are not adopted to revive her internal
Industry she must remain as she has been for many
years, stationary in population, in wealth and re-
sources. We trust that our Senators will, on this
occasion, take a lesson from their own sound dis
creon, or if The opinions Of their constituents are
ex pected to influence their votes, they have, in OPP
position to the Kent meeting the signatures of near
ly 1000 Of the citizens Of this State, now before
them, in favor of the tariff We appeal to their
own knowledge upon this subject. We call upon
them to say, whether manufactures have not been
emnently beneficial to this State wherever they
have been established? Let them look at New Cas-
tie county, and say whether her superior wealth.
her superiority il agriculture and in improvements
of every description, is not owing to the beneficial
Influence of manufactures And we then ask them
to say, whether they will be supporting the true
Interests of this State, representing the voice Of
their constituents, by voting against the tariff.

With the Bible in his hand, the Berean will

to a stranger in an Italian city -
''The corpse is dressed according to the wealth

which nun enters convent, and that on which a
relative is buried, were distinguished by the most
marked gaiety of dress. It is not uncommon to
the corpse Of woman (and the age makes no diff
ference in the costume) dressed in yellow shoes,
white silk stockings, and purple silk robe, lace cap,
white kid gloves, ribbons and Jewels, and placed
upon hearse ornamented with the gayest colours,

MAGNANIMITY.

MAGNANIMITY.
Perhaps there is no where to be found, an exam
pie of greater magnanimity, or more noble tri-
umph of virtue, than exhibited in the conduct of
ALEXANDER THE GREAT towards the captive Queen
of King Darius, after the splendid legions of that
nbecile Persian monarch had been defeated by
the Macedonian conqueror:
He gave orders to treat the princesses
with all the respect due to their rank,
making his camp as sacred an asylum for
their virtue as any temple; nor would he
afterwards trust himself in the presence
Of Darius queen, who was woman Of
singular beauty. To understand the full
extent Of his nagnanimity on this occa-
sion, we must remember that Alexander
was then in the bloom Of youth, unmarried,
and conqueror. But far from attempt
ing to derive any ungenerous advantage
from his victory, he studied to alleviate
the misfortunes Of his illustrious captives,
by the most polite attention and the most
respectful kindness and indulgence"
The people Of Athens laughed at The
mistocles, and openly revised him even
in the streets, because he was ignorant Of
the manners Of the world, the ton of good
company, and that accomplishment which
is called good breeding He retorted, how
ever, upon these ignorant railers with the
keenest asperity: cit is true" said he,

how to raise small and inconsiderable
