II dnarticulats therein mentioned. In the following
Recommendation the circumstances are explained,
I5trom an incorrect knowledge OF which our former
had drawn interences which appears
3cannot be subsiantiated by facts. Gentlemen VINO
Jhave been long acquainted with the master manu'ac
turer who, it is said specially alluded TO, anu
/ who are at present. and have frequently been opr
posed to him in politics, say that he Is man of
very nice honor and that he would not use the
means f., influence his workmen Of which others have
been accused. We have great pleasure in making the
statement.
Gentlemen-In your paper of the l4th you pub
h9bel communication relating tn the late election
in Delaware. with your own redections' implying
your belief in the assertions OF your correspondent
irhe niece alluned to being compound OF the most
gros, and malicious ftl-ehuod,, it is expected that
you will publish tine following reply. The men IN
The employment of Mes-rs.----, have never been
told that heir duty was to vote as their employers
did. lhcv have never been afraid OF being turned
off ,r brow beaten nor we're they milutnced n their
votes by threats OF fear !; far is this from being
the truth that they are known to enjoy Liberties and
privileges of all kinds in an unusual degree Among
the thousands of hands who have been and are now
in their employ uymeDt. perhaps not single man can
be found who would not readily acknowledge these
facts. There rs not nor has there ever been child
on the place named A. Jackson. As TO the late
election the manufacturers IN the employment o.
the Messrs. --, were never called together t,
have their names taken down They went slng'y
10 the polls and not watched by their employ
4 ers nor BY any on their behalf. Some tickets nat
been printed on foreign silk ; but the manufacturers
an the Brandywine being desrous Of using mate
rial of domestic fabric, bought some home made cal
leo AZ a store in Wilmington. and these callico tick
cts were voted not by the Messrs - alone. Du
b, the manufacturers on both sides of the Brandy
wine. and by other friends of National Industry
u An extra0rdnary circumstance occurred seNera
months previous TO the late election. Whch comh'
to the knowledge Of sir.-orced him to address TIN
n manufacturers under hin, and has probably bee
the cause of the malicious SANDER now uttered
AGAINST him Scme political! intriguers III Whining
Ton about that period employed Ill, agent to get III
manufacturers ON the Brandywlne to sign paper
W the purpose OF which was to pledge their votes g
E the ensuing election. The mantauSrng OF TINS agei
N TO deprive teenen Of the exercise OF their own J"ts
n ment was kept secret for a long time. When
II was di.coyered Mr.. ---- felt 1t to be his dut
10 warn the men around him of this attempt to dr
troy the freedom and purity OF elections, and to Ell
couraoe them to preserve their own independents
n and therefore addressed them nearly in the follow
Il in. words:
haye never nerfereh in your privilege OF "
"A tinp You are as free as | am II am your e'
IA nloyer | have others who employ me, and shou
MI think il strange if those who give me work shou
tb;nk that they thereby acquire power over my
litical opinions. have never spoken OF politics
@ Won either individually or collectively, but when
s& find towhat extent deceptons have been practise
k% and what attempts have been made TO deprive y
u of YOUR freedom uf suffrage, To yet YOU to pled
yoirscyes beforehand IN IA written contract II
NJ hirh time 10 put you on your guard. All wish
M ynu is that YOU will each consider well the mp
N lance Of your own vote, inform yourselves well
E matters and facts, exercise your own JuhShei
E tbereopon and then vote as you please"
E ybc foregoing may be testified by all the hands
M +he establishment, aud needs no comment. 1t \
M not take many words to retute the other slander
}Y attacks on Mir. r.---'s character.
