FOR Sussex county. distribution Of the Offices
within the gift of the Legislature was made by
lew Jackson men. and understood and settled. The
4ud'tor Of Accounts to be the share Of the spoil
allotted to Miles Tindal-a member from the said
County of Sussex-aDd the Clerkshp of the House
of Representatives was assigned to the son of very
prominent political intrguer, and the grand interes
Ted Master Spirit of the Jackson party in the Legis
| lature.
| Mr. WiItbank could not be brought to the stick
ing point till his vanity was latered by the hig,
sounding name of Speaker Of the House of Repre-
scntatives. This, il seems. carried him by storm,
and reduced him at once to the shameful necessity
4 OF abandoning the cause of his Consttuents--a
cause which he had openly espoused-and made
HIM at the same time cnndescend to the Illuminating
business of voting for himself. All this is jackson
ism with vengeance. o tempora o mores !!
Alas! Alas! is it come to this that to succeed in
cause, manlfesty preudicia to the great interests
OF the peope-but subservient to the selfish views
OF some political mscreants, character and reputa-
ton. peace ,nd quiet conscience are to be sacri
feed and for what why to becnme the dupes of
men. who despse their duplicity, to gain the
indignation of the wise and virtuous.
Are the friends of the State of Delaware to be
made subservient to the cause Of the Hero Are
the Offices and the honor of free people to be bar
tered away by wretched minority? Citizens of
Delaware! ! is there not redeeming virtue in your
intelligence and independence Can you not, will
you not frOwn Indignantly on such unhallOWed at
temps to subvert your liberties and corrupt your
pure institutions We have passing remark for
the gentleman who has been bought once with the
promise of being the next Candidate for Governor
by the Jackson party-That is, he will never get it.
His only reward will be the corrodings of guilty
gloomy conscience.
We have, also, something to say in relation to
Cty nj oh &c IN haya oil
in aid of certain road, for which the Legislature
was petltioned years ago, to be located in
of the lower Counties of this State but we have
not time to dwell on it now-NOre of that hereafter.
guilty conscience will accuse him whom this cap
fits.
The Jackson cause has been much injured in this
State by the short sighted, selfish, intriguing policy
of its advocates. So may it flourish here and else
where We would here ask distinctly of Miles
Tndall whether he did not last fall receive letter
from distinguished law officer of this State
whether he did not read it in the presence of res
pectable Judicial officer, and then tell him that he
was to be .4uditor Of accounts ? Mr.. Tindall can
satisfy the honest curiosity of virtuous public by
publishing this letter. CITIZENS of the County
of SUSSEX: Arise, in the majesty of your virtue,
in the penitude of your power-and crush to atoms
the projects of men who feast upon your honour as
canker worms. who abuse your credulity and sacri-
flee your best abilities at the shrine of their unhal-
lowed ambition.
| Are you not, Fellow Citizens, we'll satisfied now
Of the reason why the Jackson party would not

They must redeem their pledges to those whom they
would use for a time. You cannot he too deeply
concerned for your honor and your character.-Ex

show you clearly the awful precpce to which the
jackson party has led you, while the yawnins gulpt
