ELECrIONEERING.

The Delaware Gazette of the Goth inst. is TEEN
ing with editorial remarks, on the subjec; OF tht
| approaching election. The editor calls Mr. Haz
zard weak man, and makes many statements res
pectng him, which the federal party themselves, il
the couny where he resides, pronounce untrue, b,
their intention to vote for him, on account of hi
public fitness and private worth. But this is o
Mr. Hal ker's rnderhanded electioneering tricks, ,e
blind il possible, some Of those who are not wei
acquainted with his character. Mr.. Harker him
sell, when he announced that the electoneerine
campaign had commenced, pronounced MIR. Haz
zard TO be man of unblemished character, anc
now he wishes (if he had it in his power) to bem
ish t;-but the public are too well acquainted with
Mr.. Hazards high standing, and Mr.. Harker's
character for consistency and veracity, to be decey
ed. He has also said great deal about Mr.. Nc
Lanes conduct at the last session Of Compensation
the purpose of binding the people to his aults but
he takes good care TO say nothing about his attempt
10 U0tate the Constitution, by endeavoring TO in
trodnce the power into the House OF Representa-
lives, OF insructng the Executive relative to the

| If Mr.. McLane, as Mr.. HaIker admits, did advo.
cate the Panama Mission in his speech on the sub
Ject, why did he endeavor to trample on the COnsti
tuition, by wishing the House to instruct the Presi
dent as to the subjects Of negotiation when the Con
slitntion says that treaties made by the President
must be approved of by The Senate before they can
become the law of the land II Mr.. McLane did
not think IT right 10 appropriate money for that OBJ
ect, why did he not vote against the Bill, an hon
est man If he did approve OF it, why did he wish
TO interfere with the treaty making power, when he
knew (or ought to have known,) il would violate the
Constitution The answer must be, he was influ
enced by ignorance or something else His friends,
presume, will not admit it was Ignorance. Then
what was it! Deawarians! you arc to Judge Of this
conduct Was it honests If you think we'll of it,
elect Mr.. McLane again. You are to suffer, il you
elect men who attend TO their private interest,
instead of the public good Blu, you are not blind
you are not ready TO be duped again.
II you elect Doctor Naudain, you have man Of
talents and integrity, who will represen! you with
honor and honesty. But methinks hear Mr.. Har-
ker crying that Mr.. McLane has been long time
in Congress don't turn him out don't turn him
out" However, you are too we'll aware oil the mis-
cries OF Europe, to make places hereditary in our
happy land.
The election is near at hand--let every Republi-
can be at the poIls and true democracy-ihe soye
reignty OF the peoples will must prevail over fac
ton and oppression.
Information from Kent and Sussex is still more
ffattering. There is no doubt but genuine demo
cratic principles and lberay will prevail, and we

that the Ticket recommended 10 the Address, will

can brethren, than to request them to be united in
whatever opposition they make to it-otherwise the

will be adopted to prevent the occurrence Of any
similar cause Of dissatisfaction.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
For Governor,

For Representatives to Congress,
DR.. ARNOLD NAUDAIN.
DEMOCRATIC VOTERS
TAKE NOTICE.,

The law requires the polls to be closed at the
General Election, next Tuesday, al FIVE o'clock
We recolect that number lost their yoes last year
by coming too late thinking that the polls did
not close till si1 They waited 10 get their days
work done, and thus lost the opportunity TO say who
they wished to be their public servants. Ii would
be better to leave work for few minutes than to
let your party suffer by the loss OF your vote. The
times require that every man of you should make
his appearance Oh the election ground.
From Information we have received, we advise
the Democrats to be ON their guard next Tuesday,
against spurious tickets. More than common exer-
tions will be made by their opponents 10 deceive the
unsuspecting, in this manuer. Don't suffer impo-
sition Of this kind to be practsed Men who pre-
tend to honor and honesty, and religion, sometimes
so far lose sight of every thing like correct conduct,
that they will stand all day at the place OF voting,
with counterfeit tickets in their hands, and will lie,
and cheat and resort to every species Of ption,
10 obtain vote for their favoti,e candidate, from a
poor illitsrale person. Some of this descrip
lion will be seen at The Town Hol next Tuesday,
in opposition 10 Hszzaid and Naudan Let the m
be marked--and let the indignation of the public
he heaped upon them.
Our accounts from Kent and Sussex are cheering
In the former County the Federasts are sensible
that they are struggling for existence. and there
scarcely exists doubt oil the success Of the De-
mocratic Ticket. In Sussex, several of the leading
Federaliss are in open opposition TO MIR Polk and
using all their influence for Mr.. Hezzard. whom
they pronounce suitable person, in every re
spect, foe the office OF Governor of this State.
Our friends in the lower part Of the State write
ought to do, the Democratic Party will gain COM
ple,s victory in this Stute. They depend much
upon her and believe that upon her exertions rests
the decision OF the important question who shall be
our next Governor and Representative TO Congress
Il, fact which does not give pleasure TO state,
that there are large number Of Democrats in this
County who have not been at an election for seve
raj years. Even in this Borough there are many
who have not voted for long time. Their ndif
ference and neglect are shameful and objectionable,
and it is hoped that they will make amends there
Tor, by turning out Tuesday nert, and voting for
who know OF any OF these lukewarm persons make
some exertions to bring them to the polls Every
vote is needed. Our opponents are active, and
there is one trait in their character that would
recommend the Democrats to imitater-tlat is,
heir zeal.

Several communications the subject of the Election
too late, in consequence of paper having been
put to press earlier than usual.
American watchman and Delaware advertiser., 1826-09-29

Lest our Democratic friends in Kent and Sussex
should he alarmed at the proceedings in Mill Creek
and Brandywinc Hundreds. which are published to-
day, we assure them that Whatever alterations may
be made in the Red Lion Ticket, will not in any de.
gree lessen the poll for Hazard and NAuDAIN.
That part of the nomination made at the Red
Lion, is very unpopular throughout the County, is a
fact that cannot be concealed, and which it would
be useless 10 deny. We extremely regret that
nomination was not there made that would have re
ceived the unanimous support Of the democratic
party. AS faithful sentnels we deem it our duty
to lay before our republican BRETHREN all the infor.
nation We possess on subject OF such interest.
