The managers of the prostituted Gazette, in the
months of April. May. and June last, as matter
Of policy, lecture.l certain citizens of Delaware
upon the beauty, expediency, and principle Of
strict adherence to the Federal Party.
July and August arrived, and The Conferees Of
Kent and Sussex were appointed, friendly to the
Administration.
These Confelees, with those from New Castle
met at Dover, and Notwithstanding james Rogers
speech in opposition to nomination. one was made
and Kensey Johns, Jr. was recommended, as can
ddate for Congress, to the support Of the Federal
lists of Delaware.
What arguments Mr.. James Rogers used on ths
occasion, we have never heard, and only know thai
they were Of no avail.
| We know nothing to the contrary but that the
Conferees were appointed and the nomination made
according to the regular party usage. Of one thing
we are convinced. that, had the man nominated been
Jackson man, the manager. Of the prostituted CAT
zette would have zcalousy supported him. Blu!
Mr.. Johns was guilty of the sin Of preferring j. @
Adams TO Andrew Jackson 1t was not enough
that this same MIR. Johns had had his name erased
from the Senatorial Ticket in 1896, and that Of tei
brother Fsderahst, .andvew Gray, placed in the
room of it. They had preached about Federalism
for three months, but when MIR. Johns was nom
mated, according to Federal usage, they found t'
practice Of their doctrine very announcement.
i The Federal lawyers 60 to Sussex, and one Of
them is much slandered and belied, If he did not
make proposition to Democratic Gentleman that
Federal aid and support should be given to certain
Democratic Candidate for Congress, if taken up
E by the Democratic party.
That proposition, for reasons not now TO be stated,
was not accepted and small meeting of Federal
lists, without doubt at their suggestion. on the 18th
ultimo, at George Town, disapproved of Mr.. Johns
nomination, and recommended another man
The prostituted Gazette was then made to dc

says, to the modification of one Of the managers,
