The following note written with a pen
Gil was handed us last evening just as our
paper was going to press.
TO the Editor Of The Whig. +.
SlR:-i this afternoon had SEM me by
some person unknown a copy of the Del
aware Republican OF this morning. lam
always pleased to see il, the editor makes
good selections, and writes sighl pretty,
and TO tell the truth am slightly predis-
posed in favor of his paper, on account Of
his having once copied from the Wing
with flatlerlng comment lam not frank !
little article Of rhine in favor Of Henry
Clay.
lie was here at the meeting on the 4h
inst. aud gives it what consider quite an
beg leave to be frank again imperli.
nent notice. He is quite severe upon Mr..
Coleman, (Which am sorry to see, but
with which | have nothing to do) but
the "lnkndest cut of alp is one he makes
at the ladies.
only write 10 say, that the fact of his
coming here to enjoy the hospitality of
the good people OF EIkton, and then ga
ping al the ladies while dining, and refer
ing to thenimpudently in his paper, shows
a want of that good breeding, of which
had heretofore supposed him to be pos
sessed. LYRA,
We beg leave to say to Lyra that we
only look upon the article by our ''cousin"
as all innocent ebu!lition of merrimen,,
that should be looked over, We hope
that after ''sober second ,hough,'' he.
anger will be 'urneo away, Ed,

On Saturday the Cd inst, We had a
highly respectable meeting Of the people
oil this county without respect to party,
to express their views of the odious doc
trine of RePudiaton. They assembled
in the Court House about 3 o'clock, ?,
NJ. and although the meeting was NO,
very numerous, owing % the want OF
general notice, the busy season with far
mers, and the unusual and excessive hea,
of the day, yet there wcrr many of the
heaviest tax payers IN the Cou"ly pre-
sent. Enclosed is a coy II ,Ae pro-
cecdings and resolutions; and trust that
this meeting will be followed by meet
ings in all the counties, So that by means
Of intelligent addresses and all inter
change of sentiments the people may lul-
ly understand the turpitude Of Repudia-
tion.
The ad, COATES Of this heresy have cal.
led a meeting for the 4,h inst, and may
from their industry in drumming up, from
the leisure OF the day, (it being generally
kept as holiday,) and the curiosity Of
many, have numerous meeting, butyou
NAV rest assured that Hartford will never
send Delegation OF that kidney TO the
Legislature. They call it the .4nti-taI
party, and the very name, appealing as il!
does to the pecuniary interests and pna'i
cts of the people, may gull some; .u.
many of the most respectable and ia.'a-
enlial of the Democratic party here,
have declared tha, they will not vote f.
the ticket, and have no sympathy with
them. Several of these were present
and took partn tile meeting of Saturday,
and some Of the officers of he meeting
are of that party.
The addresses were spirited and we'll

Elk close by the grove, and forming into
a line were passed by the male process

halted and faced the road, while the pro-
cesslon of Ladies passed on the ground.
Af,ef the men had dineG, the meeting
was called to order by the President. and
John Mason, Esq: deliveieda a temperance
address Of an hour and half in ieng tn,
in his usual eloquent and happy style
Mr.. Mason has done much for the TEN
perance cause, and we doubt not but his
speech on that day will have an extensive
influence.
A band Of Music had been procured
from Wilmington, which marched with
the procession, and enlivened the meet
ing, by playing during the intervals of
speaking.
Taken all together, we never saw any
meeting Of any kind pass off as finely
A more beautiful day never beamed on
the earth--a Pre,tier place for the meet.
ing could have been no where seIected;--
Of the speaklng-of the Ladies and their
smiles We have spoken. All was worthy
OF the glorious anniversary of Liberly's
birth day, and Of the glorious cause of
temperance. We are now more than
ever convinced that temperance must soon
put down every opposition and reign tri-
umphantly.
The different committees for making
prepara lions for the meeting deserve
great credit for their activity and man
agement Having from the first notice of
the meeting anticipated crowd, we fear
ed the provision committee would not be
able to feed them all, but they supplied
all their wants and had many baskets full
left. There are many things else we
might speak Of but time aid space will
not permit us.

Tcsas .sera.lCe Celebration.

We .ad along, previously 10 the Atm
hofal aNa. lxp4c,ed that the meeting on
tia. Jay would be one worthy of the
day, &aa ~oruy Of the principles upon
which il Was TO be celebrated. We were
not disappointed. Never perhaps in the
whole country did meeting pass off
with more satisfaction to all who were
present. and never perhaps was temper
ancc meeting Of equal size held i'll tins
State; in a country place. Not lhe slight,
est accident TO mar the pleasures OF the
day-not an angry word-not a frown
All was life, and smiles, and joyuusness
The number present is variously estlma-
ted, from three to fire thousands. We
set them down at three thousand all
told. and we are somewhat noted fer is.
,inating crowds far below their actual
number. We never saw so mary pretty
girls together before, which leads us to
think we were correct IN conclusion
we arrived al long ago l. c. that ladies'

Denton Pcarl.-The editor Of this
paper, this week publishes one side of a
quarrel which happened in 1871, between
\. L. Forwood and us, in order to make
US appear to disadvantage before his read
ers. We have only to remark i'll regard
to ii; that to say the lea st, in our quarrel
with the above named Individual, our
character and standing lost nothing in this
community, no. could we possibly lose
caste by II III any community where tn e
whole matter was known. To ask this
cowardly editor to publish the other
side would be to ask him to act honora-
bly and fairly, which he has proved him
self incapable Of doing.
lie need not think to escape the pre-
dicament in which he has placed himself,
by attempting to blow up the embers of
an old teud. lie knew the issue of that
controversy when he in the mhining tone
ol puppy besonght US for all explanation,
accompanied by threat if it was not Civ
en-. When we refused to explain, and re-
Pcated all we had previously said, did he
execute his !hrea? Nol but like cowdrd-
ly polfroon he "shamefully backed out"
as all know who have seen both sides of
the quarrel between him and us. lie de-
serves our contempt; and not ou. animos-

We are much obliged to gu. correspondent, Y,
for his communication respecting Lyceum, which
appeared in our paper last week With him we
regret that little interest is manifested by our
citizens in an institution which, with the talents
and learning among us, might be made useful
and interesting. If our citizens were awake 10 the
moral interests OF this community, il seems 10 us
that they would be exceedingly anxious to provide
those intellectual entertainments, which would
serve the double purpose of affording instruction,
and of fortifying themselves and their children and
friends against those temptations which would lead
them to gross indulgences. People, especially
young people, DESTROYS of assembling together,
of seeing each other, of exchanging kind words
with one another, and those who desire the moral
welfare of their children and of the young ought
not to be Indifferent to any project, which promises
better influences than the accidental gatherings OF
the street, and the usual places of public resort
And il our citizens generally, if our professional
men and our mechanics, if our merchants and our
farmers, take interest in furnishing the means
of intellectual entertainment and instruction It can
not of course be expected that our children and
youth will set a very high value mental culture.
We think that those who are capable of giving in
structon by public Lectures have no moral right
to bury their talent, but under obligations to
