To the Democrats of Christiana Hundred.
conem pla,ion of the conduct Of certain men
at the late Hundred meeting, held a. SCOTS Tavern,
must call down the warmest Indignation Oh every
honest and decided Democrat. Aciuated by self
interest and spirit Of intrigue certain individuals
have been driven from the course Of common cour
tesy, and in tones. gestures. and language, have
rendered themselves not only ridiculous. but pre-.
emineniiy disgusting. When we see men give
place to abuse, anger and tyranny, we must con
clude that either reason is declining, or that some
self interest is deeply wounded / will not PRE-
send to judge with nallibility what caused such tu
nultuous behaviour; but | must conclude thai
such conduct tends to the diminuton Of both pub
lie and private responsibility. Sh II the tones Of
turbulence and revenge usurp the place Of cool de.
liberation, and dlsorganzc social order Shall the
OBJECT OF our meetings be perverted by the bully
like conduct of few Individuals individuals, toe, !,
OF a dubious character ? Shall every mouth be
stopped by the menaces OF boisterous men No
Fellow Democrats . hope we have vet sufficient
spirit 10 assert our rights and principles and hope
We have strength sufficient to carry on our we'll
meaning Infections. Our minds are not vet blinded
by the veil of Intrigue neither is our voic hushet
ny The passionate thuniers OF our opponents. Let
US still exercise our liberty Of choice.
II is well ascerained hat the design of those
men who have attempted to carry evety thing By
storm. IS to diminish he strength Of the Democrat
&c party. These Democrats (sad misnomer,) have
so long been vasclllatng between the two parties,
that all confidence has been lost in them Az last
they have come out, and although mt positively de
clared themselves by word. have by deed, sided
with the Federaliss. 1t now remains with the real
Democrats to decide whether they will be driven
hy these isnominious compounds ofintrigue and ty-
ranny. or assert their rights and exercise their
own privileges
These political hypocrites. half snake half hyena,
have attempted to paralyze your efforts, and lull
your senses by pouring the poison of sophisry into
your minds. They have told you that Parties are
now dead--there remain no such distinguishing
marks-tha. we should pay no attention to the for
mer principles and practices of men, but that we
should choose them for their own presen, apparent
iy good qualities. Beware this is the betray-
Ing cry of the hungry crocodile. 1t is the
mean suberfuge of dying party. Being degra-
ded in the depths OF minority, they wish TO avert
the public mind from contemplating them, un'il
they have regained their former strength, by de
set and intrigue. They now wish to luII the pub |
Tic voice from speaking oi their existence, until
ehey can without molestaion secretly grow 10 their
iormer influence. Let us, therefore, unite to crush
this insidious foe-let US unite heart and hand in
ms necessary and laudable measure and show the
world that Christiana Hundred can get boast of
GENUINE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
A DEMOCRAT.
