OOlfOlklNo VI
The Delaware Gazette says. cannot find time
nor space 10 notice. as would like, the addresses
made by our friends at the many meetings that arc
being held throughout county and state. The
spirit OF Democracy is awake the fire OF RePubli-
canism is rekindled,
And every patriots souls IN artUf,
and eager Tor the Tray.
The great popular battle of 1901 is to be fought
over again; aud the people soon 10 say whether
the Institutions which have reflected honor and glory
upon country for half Of a century are To be
perpetusted, or whether they are To yield 10 the
schemes Of modern whigs, and be crushed TO atoms
! by the omni potenee OF great National Bank.
Our citizens appear aroused 10 just sense OF the
| Importance Of the issue. Ii such not the case
throughout the length and breath OF the State We
hope they will delay longer, but come al once TO
the rescue. Organize-organize IN every hundred
and every school district and that every voter is
| al the p lis on the ID Tuesday Of November next.
| Since municipal election friends do not op-
pear doubt the result OF the next days yot n.y. but
hey should remember 1870 should consider nothing
as certain when the coons are party To the transsc-
ton; they houd remember their deeds evil, and
they Work secretly In the dark when the democrats
least expect IL.
| Our ciizens Of Wilmington and Brandywine were
addressed on Friday evening, by James A Bayard,
Esq in zone Of the most powerful and convincing
speeches We have ever listened TO.
| Mr.. B3yard is now citizen OF New York, hut bis
attachment for Delaware does not appear TO be weak
ensd by his separation. He feels deep interest
IN the land Of his birth that land feels in the
cess OF her able and distinguished son and we trust
The day close at hand when the citizens OF the En-
pre- State Will no, only know but appreciate the
worth OF this able jurist and truly eloquent man.
We regret that more extensive notice had not
been given Of the meeting Friday evening" for we
ieel convinced that every citizen OF Wilmington and
Brandywine as well the adjoining hundreds,
would gladly have to listen to their old friend
once more. He spoke for about two hours and a
half al was distinctly understood by every man in
the building. He dwell upon the Tariff until every
man must have been convinced &c that the difference
between the two parties was only in detail and not
OF principle" He deprecated the course pursued
BY the Whgs-ther appeals TO distant classes, whe-
lber farmers, manufacturers, mechanics, and pro-
nouDced IT the greatest evil our countrymen had now
to C intend against.
He spokr for some time upon the Bank, which
was more Of party question than the Tariff and
depic ed In true and forciblc manner The evils
which such institution would inevitably entail up
on our country.
1 he third aud last question which came under his
consideration the question OF annexation and
while discussing this, he scored Mr.. Webster most
beautifully He vas not in the habit Of speaking OF
the private character of any political opponent, but
elt constrained by c.rcumstances-b just sense oil
the duty he owed his fellow Citizens TO notice that Of
Daniel Webster who had lately been travelling
through the States Of New York and pennsy lyanIa,
and endeavorng TO excite their citizens, by appealing
10 them as classes, to sustain the Wing party
Mr. Webster he considered great nan, of ggan-
tic Intellect, but corrupt and dangerous he was
great; and Notwithstanding lucrative profession,
he has been political pauper, dependant upon The
charity Of the citizens OF Boston for The last twenty
years
We do not pretend to give the language of Mr..
Bayard. His speech very long and eloquent
throughout, and drew forth laundering bursts OF APP
Plsuse. lie spoke Of Mr.. Webster's position on the
Texas question, as upon all other questions in which
England was concerned, and declared when such was
the case, he, Daniel Webster, was always found
siding against his country He sought to establish a
lame abroad n preference to at home, and would
never do otherwise unless it could be made to suit
his selfish and ambitious motives.
We should like, very much, to sec this speech in
print. 1t was convincing throughout, and, we feel
satisfied, would do much good 10 advance our cause
in little Delaware. We would like to compare II
with the speech made by John NJ. Clay ton, at Della.
ware City, on The 10Th OF September, or J. NJ Ber-
lien. OF Georgia, in our City Hall on Saturday eve
ming last
Every Wing who is capable Of approaching ar
gumept; every man who can look beyond the prelu.
dces which cast around his mind, be salts
hed-must admit, that James A. Bayard, Esq is far
superior IN argument or political debate, 10 John NJ.
