the essntalion from either of their sister coun
tics.
"Appearances'' says-a 1t is no secret that a
very consider able and highly respectable portion o
the democratic party petoned their late conferees
to omit any nomination of candidate Tor Con-
grcss." Now this is an assertion and we can attach
what credit please to it, until the writer proves
it, by publishing the names of the petitioners, as he
says it is no secret Appearances admits that
there were several causes of objection to Mr.. M.
Lane at his last election, which he says do not now
exist this is, as usual an assertion without proof
or probability if necessary the additional obec
tons can be stated.
uAppearanccs' says, tive invite comparison with
our opponents between the two tickets Estate tick

Mr.. Polk is considered very worthy man but
Mr.. Hazard is much older. and have heard no
party doubt his being well qualified to govern The
State with honor and advantage With respect to
Mr. M.I.ane and Doctor Naudan, the most that
have heard The friends Of the former urge in his ia
yor was that he had more experience. Doctor Nau
dan is considered to possess every requisite Tor a
good statesman and would ask candid public,
whether, because man had been in Office several
years, it Yves good reason Tor continuing him al
ways.--I can answer for myself, never considered
it truly republican. But with regard to the en-
suing election, (to use the language Of Appear
nnces,'') haze been informed that there is pros.
pect that Sussex will give the Democratic Cover
and Representative, 200 votes mose than at he
last elections for the same Offices and it is a TACT
that Appearances" presume, will not pretend 20
deny, that The Democratic meetings in Kent
never numerously attended as they have been

respectable persons who formerly went with the
federal party but not approving their measures.
considered it their duty TO leave their ranks-and
the probability s there will be about the gain
to the Democratic party in Kent that is expected
in Sussex.
With regard to New Castle county, I have no
doubt but Mr.. Hazard, as we'll as Doctor Naudain,
will get many votes than at any previous
election; as the Democratic party mt yet ready
{and hope never will be to be cajoled by their
opponents, until their hands are ted-or to be diy
ded by their secret ern,ssaries until all is lost,
and they pointed at with scorn by their deceiv

Citizens consider well what you are about to
do--whether those principles, and that practice,
which have oyerruled in every State (except ours,)

zens, shall not prevail in the State of Delaware.

Hon. ROYALL TYLER, aged &c.

DIED. on the 10Th of August, in Brasboroueh VI the
Hon. RoYALL TYLER, aged &c.
Judge Tyler was native of Boston, and commenced his
public life as Adde camp to Gen. Lncoln who command
ed the army that suppressed the rebellion of shays,
l1oo-7 During that campaign, Mr.. Tyler charged by
Gen. Lincoln with special mission TO the Government OF
Vermont then administered by the Father this State
me venerable Thomas Chttenden Upon that occasion
Mr. T. was permitted to address the Legislature Of this
State, then in session Bennington and displayed for the
irs time to the Green Mountain Boys the charms of that
classical eloquence which has since given great celebrity
to ms name. The circumstances of this mission are ecor
ded in Judge Minots elegant history of the Rebellion in
Massachusetts, Abou! four years afterwards MIR Tyler re-
moved TO Vermont and very soon became of
distinguished advocates He assistant Judge of
the Supreme Cour six years. and Chief Judge of the
Court six years more. As of genius, a poet, an
orator. civilian an erude and accomplished scholar, and
gentleman OF the most elegant and endearBg in
social and domestic life his memory will long be che rsed
with affection and respect by The companions of his youth
IN Massachusetts, and those of his mature and declining
years in Vermont. "The 4lgsne Capioe" unquestiona-
by one OF the most original and brilliant productions of
this generation, will forever him high rank among
American WRITER'S and the future admirers Of his beautiful
poems will 'gve his name in charge to the sweet Tyre.
We have been favored with the perusal OF let.
ter from gentleman in Kentucky to his friend in
this place, from which we are permitted to extract
the following interesting particulars relative to the
closing Of the life of the late Gov SHELBY.
Nat. Banner.
"On the 18th of July, Col. SHELBY bresthed his last
whist sitting in his chair, without pain, and without any
complaint of previous ndsposition On the morning be.
fore his death, he rode his Isaac ard return
ed before dinner he ate his nner with as GOOD an appe
te usual and walked up the gale in front of his house.
returned and took his seat with Mrs. Shelby, and coneh-
ced conversation cheeruy with her conversation clo
sed for moment, and she heard him draw long breath
when she went up to his chair she found his head leaning
back, and the breath entirely gone; muscle Of his
face appeared to be changed the least distorted The
oid man had frequently expressed wish that when he
died no person should be present but his wfe-in this
singular wish he gratfed-no person present bu
her and she sustained herself in the trying moment with
becoming ortitude lis remans inferred on the
spot where he pitched his first tent the farm where HI.
resded about y years ago, and for fear his sons would
not know where TO find the exact spot he had before his
ieath, marked it out himself"
