known with us, that the Adams men have stuck n
their first principle, that they were elected as AL
milistratiun men, and that they have proved to tI
world that they are worthy the trust in so good
cause Not 50 with the Jackson men of whom vs
complain OF those gentlemen who came into As
field, before the late election, as jackson men ami
as such were elected, we have nothing more to "a,
than that we regret to find them enlisted in so bad,
cause, and if Sam HaIker was worthy TO be gNs
as proof Of the bad cause in (which they are engaged
we would present to public view, some of his vvn
words about three years since, OF the unftneS d
his present Hero, to fill the first office in the Gift
this great nation but as Sammy's words cf le
have become worth but itte we will for the present
lay him on the shelf, and will not recur to him. but
for our amusement Now it is we'll known that
the men of whom complaint made, are suCh
Jackson men as were elected in disguise, who pu
on sleeps cloathing, while inwardly they were
wolves. and that Those men owe their places, a,
members of the Legislature, to the sufiiages of fe
Administration men. There can be no doubt, tb,t
| Tinda Riley and Wiltbank. were by consent rut
in the first Administration Ticket, made out Ga
Sussex Cuunty,a as Administration men, and so pp
fessed to be. No wavering from any one Of lhu
was ever heard of, until the Tuesday before the he
election, when the two grand master spirits, from
New Castle County, came, by bye ways TO our
County Town, and there it was, that they fell in
took the first draught OF Vanberren's Papacea
which was administered by deputy Doctor, wei
gifted in political man9uvering, who resides some
where in the upper end of this State, and although
was bitter dose at the time, it did prove sowr
egn bait, and this bait, as | am informed. is called
.4uditor Of accounts. AS to the second named
member, the master Spirits before named, did not see
him until they had seen Gen. P of this County,
who was then. by his own consent, at the head Of
the Administration Ticket. The same dose by lie
same Doctor was administered to the General which f
purged the Administration Ticket of his NAME
From thence, as am informed, the same Doctor
waited Oh friend of ours, but he was of too stern
stuff, so much as not to tamper with their Panacea
ot course they could produce effect on him. +
Then it was, being disappointed, they resoutely |
bent their way to the second named member R.
and then and there no doubt, offered him such bait
as effected their daboical purpose and made him
a traitor. This Mr.. X. never out against tile
Administration, until the morning of the election
such was the disgust of the people in his own dis
trict, that he fell short, in that district about seven
ty votes Of the third and last named member. We
had no signs Of disafection, until he arrived at
Milford on his way to the sitting Of the Legislature
There it was, that he first gave any signs and then
only said he had not declared himself either way
as much as to say, am in market. the highest bM'
der has me, and as nothing was offered him BY the
Administration side, of course he bit at the bait that
was thrown him in which the jackson hook was
! placed. In fact am informed that Mr.. W.
behaved well on the day OF the election and manu-
!, ly supported the administration ticket. Harker
says that the Administration men dare not have LETT
those traitors (of whom he speaks so highly QUITO
the Administration ticket, and that had we. the Adj
ministlation men, left them, l'ndall, Riley and
Wltbank out of our ticket it would have proved
f fatal to the Adams cause. This is as true as many
other sayings Of little sammy's. How happens III
that pursng the Administration ticket OF the man
first placed at the head Of that ticket, did not prove
fatal to the election of DR.. Maui who was only
three days in nomination previous to the election,
and out run Gen. Green who was the Candidate in
the jackson ticket for months, and The man whom
Col Paynter could not think of opposing, and who
afterwards said that he resigned his place in the Ad'
d mnstraton Ticket. because he could not associate
4 his name in ticket with Democrats. How will
D this assertion 60 down with the Jackson Democrats
To return, was either of these three men, viz. Til
dali. Riley, and Wiltbank more popular than Gen
era Green | should say not : what stronger proc
then would Halker require OF the strength Of the
Administration party in Sussex than the fact of Dr.
Alaull's being elected over Gen. Green full booded
jackson man, by such a majority under such CIR
: cumstances No, these three men are not such
popular characters as to have deferred the Admins
t tration men from turning them out had they been
known to be men Of no political integrity. They have
i abused the trust confded to them, and we shall IN
| future know them (and could we have known be-
fore the election in time to have revisetour 'rcke
of their intended apostacy, we SHOULD have had n'
= trouble with them. They were, as before stated
put into the first County ticket, as administrators
men, aud when the jackson men made out their tick
ct, these same men put into the Jackson ticket
after which they declared their preference for th
Administration, to administration men and thus de
ceived hem and these are the that that prostI
tuted Press extols the skies for thus acting ant
u says they have deserved well of their country. Bu
of such men as Harker we expect nothing better
