merely to secure petty slice from oncie oaii
loaf--we pity their wealness-we desplse tneir
want Of manly frmness and when again, we near
mem with one breath make solemn and Dof1ntoryas
uranccs Of attachment to, and preference ior one
payty--and Immediately after their election 70 epee

IN snch persons Is it any thing less than treason,
are the dclinquents more OF less than uscreah's'
xbo deserve TO have a label affixed to their persons

bu, IS 10 be regarded as der bought purchase lor
tho mere promise of an Office such as .lndtor 81 dc-

In what hight are we to view hepresensae'es y, d
free and virtuous people who will condescend to be

lt,s pretended that these Worthy gentlemen were
originally jackson men; and that the administration
party determined to use their names because OF their
popuarty and dare not erase them from the aa-
mistrton ticket, for fear OF their extensive person
al influence! Every suggestion OF the KIND Is whoi-
" destitute of TRUTH and those who have the haral-
hood to make them well know IT. II is confidently
asserted without fear OF contradiction, thal uen'

weight of his influence into Gen. Green's scale, had

.Joseuh Mau by majority OF 1868 votes over Gen.
Green Ii is wel known, by every man familiar
with the occurrences of the day, that the express
around upon which the ticket afterwards called the
Jackson tcket1 was made out was, that IL Was COM
posed of unpiedgca men-oi men who had not made
no their minds in favor of either OF the Presidential
| candidates Their advertisement calling meeting
at George Town on the 27th August last proves this
beyond doubt.
Messrs. Witbank, Riley and Tindal we're placed
on that ticket upon that very ground.
How, then, can it be pretended that they were
originally Jackson men
1t is further well known, that at the 2nd meeting
of the Federal committee Of Sussex County, these
gentlemen atteuded--and some of them expressed n
decided preference of Mr.. Adams over Gen. jack
SON hat was this for, but 10 induce the friends OF
the administration, to retain their names upon the
Federal ticket? And after this with what consistency
can be pretended that they were originally Jack

But their popularity aye-their popularity

were on both tckets-and ought to have received
all the votes given in on the day OF the election
There were 272l votes, voted at the Cd Tuesday in

a Mr.. Johns received 53e yotes--the lowest vote
on the Representative part of the administration
!, ticket was 1854 now deduct Mr. Johns vote 1885
