DEAR Sir,
You may remember that told you, last summer,
when war was waged upon some OF our Judges by
the Jatksones, that they would respect no lndlv-
dual in the Stae--not even the Governor himself,
if they supposed the attack would be favourable to
them Their object is ylctury-and they will try
to obtain it-peaceably if they can-torcbly II they
must If there be man who lmredes their pro-
gress-that man is approached by promises OF office.
&c &c or assaulted by some'b base calnmny, as he
mal prove willing to yield, or take his independent
stand in opposition to them.
i,nt who would thnksof noticing their various
ribsdry and bngSgates | admit, frankly, that
many persons differ from me on lie SUBJECT, ana
think that however justly their calunnles deserve
silent contempt, there are persons who may be in
huenceI by them unless something, now and then
is published, exposing their depravlty.
These men--I speak only Of the leaders-have
showed their teeth to the Governor and Secretary
Of State They desire to ntmidate his Exceency
in the discharge of duty but if they succeed with
Charles polk-then, say, the countenance is no
index Of the mind of man. They had better quit
that business altogether unless they are fond OF
biting files.
re Secretary Of State, of course, they cannot
like as he is too conspicuous and efficient an advo-
cate of that order and good government with which
thew are at war. They, therefore, have reviled him
4 with the most ABUSIVE epititto-edlNiuiiJ afouno
those specific and distinct charges which absolutely
REQUIRED proof and which must be adduced to salts
fy The public They deal in lnsduons lnuendoes,
eyadnp personal responsibility, skulklng behind
dark and mysterious insinuatlons and vague gene
ralities. They hope that this course Will answer
their object. -
Notwithstanding, these Executive officers pur-
sue the even tenor Of their way, faithfully dlscharg
inc their duties in spite OF the malicious ISLANDERS
leyellcd against them; trusting, as men IN 'neli
station ought in their established character and IN
that GOOD opinion Of the people of this State SO de-
scrvinrlv entertained respecting them. II IS true
: all persons may not and probably do not, know
: what napable misrepresentation those are "hlcf
designing men chose to circulate respecting thess
' and other distinguished characters IN delaware

to notice the tales and title tattle OF hese caiuni
