Graf very courteously charges US WIN having
promulgated untruths in regard 10 the recent
election in this state. The fdcts are, that we
first announced revolution as having taken
place in favor of the locos, but subsequently
we quoted an article from the Delaware State
Journal which stated that the cause Of the
apparent political change, was local question
of county reform. The following article from
the same source, confirms the statement. The
National Inteligencer also doubts whether
u S. Senator will be chosen, owing 10 the
mixture of parties in the Legislature. The
public can therefore judge Of the grounds which
the Democrat has for its charge. We pity the
man who has such conscience.
IT, S. Senator from Deiaware.---No cleo
ton for Senator has yet taken place in the
Delaware Legislature, nor is il probable,
from present appearances, that any will
take place during the present session
owing 10 the difference OF opinion between
the two parties respecting the law on the
subject The state OF the case is in sub
stance, ms we learn from the State Journal,
as follows The state ofparlies in the Legis-
lature is, Senate six Loco Focos 10 three

Focos,-Loco Foco majority on joint ballot.

by the detection OF TWO members who
were elected 10 the Senate as Reform
Wings in Sussex County-and by the de-
fiction Of three members in The House from
the same county, who were also elected as
Reform Wings.
The Wing members from Sussex Coun-

of efec,ing some reform in the manner in
which the county business was transacted.
All the nominees on the latter ticket profess
sed 10 be Wings. up TO the day Of election,
and as such were voted for by many Wings.
II now appears that there was an understand
ing between some of The candidates on the
Reform Ticket, and the Loco Focos, who
MI voted for them. for Immediately after the
election they We're claimed by the Loco
Focos. and their votes counted on with GER

In Sussex county there was IA dec ided Wing
majority on the Congressional ticket. and
none OF the candidates on the Reform ticket
would have been elected had il been sus-
pecied that they were acting in concert with
the Loco Focos. AS il was. Two Wings

latter FIVE have become apos,ates and joined
