,oc for President las, November, In order that every
.,,1.r may acc how entirely the new question has
d,faced and ovcrridden ali party distinctions. we
,,rs, amend few illustrative facts and reflections
Tho County of Delaware has existed some forty
,csrs and has ever ill now given her vote Tor what
ever was called the Democratic ticket Even The
,ornadocs of 1921 and 1887 broke Intellectually on
her rugged hills No matter how undemocrauc inc
measures or the principles 10 be upheld by such sup
nor, even though il were denial TO the People OF
the RICH, to choose their Presidential Electors no
dune of ouackery ever swallowed his UNIVERSAL
Curative or Resurrection Syrup win more III"
questioning faith than Delaware has rolled up hes
majority for whatever principle or swlnde was
for the time being, labeled Democratic. AND now
,vc see ticket on which the Senator and one AS
s,mblyman were VIGOROUSLY, avowedly Wings, tri-
nmpban, III her vote by some Eleven Hundred
majority.
This result, has occurred in opposition not only TO
inve;erate and clearly cherished party ties, but TO
almost every other influence No Anti Rent ticket
was ever before formed in the County. The only
two newspapers WING and Loco-F oco) printed in
the County Wed with each other in denouncng and
heaping rcproach the new party. The Wing
Express openly repu dated the District nomination
of Mr.. Van Scboonhoven for Senator and virtually
accused him of being the candidate OF assassins.
The leading men of both parties were united in hos
tility TO the Equal Rights ticket The County has
been the theatre of deplorabe tragedy, which
very naturally heaped obloquy on the Anti-Renters
and gave color TO the accusations of their enemies
Many Of the actors in that tragedy have been arrest
ed tried sentenced to prison or 10 death, while very
many more have been hunted out of the State The
County has been formally declared in state Of in
surrection, and very thoroughly dragooncd by
Military force. Judges have charged, Grand Iures
have presented, and the Governor has proclaimed
in addition TO the long and think most unfair essay
in his Annual Message, that Ambient was the
cause of mischief violence and murder. Nearly all
the journals out of the County well as all in it have
been prodigal and unsparing in their denunciaons
of the Anti Renters as mscreants and outlaws.
They have been judiclally pronounced incompetent
TO sit on Juries where the actors in fearful outrage
were to be tried. 1t has been proclaimed that they
were broken up and disbanded. And yet we see
what is the result of the first opportunity afforded
the People of Delaware to pronounce a judgment
on the matters SO thoroughly brought home TO their
understandings.
1t will not do to attribute all this to an Agrarian
desire to get titles 10 their lands without paying for
them. a good part of the soil of Delaware is owned
by the men who cultivate it, while large proper
ton of the People there as every where else, live
otherwise than by farming, or work as hired labor
ers. If we say that one-fourth of the voters are
leaseholders, we make very liberal estimate of
their number. And those who do hold leases are
in good part as intelligent, conscientious, church
going, law-abiding men as may be found elsewhere.
Indeed, we have seen it stated in the Up-Rent
papers that the orginators of the Anti Rent excite
mcnt in Delaware were ignorant Baptist or Method
list preachers. Delaware, we believe, was never
before the scene of violent resistance to the laws
And now, may we not hope that the attention
and the hearts of all parties in our State will be
turned toward these Leasehold troubles with de-
termination that their causes shall be thoroughly in
vestigated and all practicable remedies applied? A
new Legislature is about assemble, and we trust
il will st the matter to the bottom. Last winter,
Mr. Harris on behalf Of the compliments, intro
duced three bills relating TO the Leasehoid Es'
tates and Tenures, only one of which was declsvely
acted upon by the House, and that was passed, but
hung up in the Senate. This was bill 10 tax the
incomes of Landlords from Leaseholds the same as
Mortgages are taxed-a measure OF such palpaole
Justice that we see how any one could oppose It,
Yet even this equitable and salulary measure, cal
culated TO hasten the extinction of the Feudal Ten
ures by strictly lawful and peaceful means, was not
allowed 10 become law. Gov. Wright, at the
opening of the Session, had propounded TO the Lee
gislature the most mistaken and pernicious doc
trine that. because some Anti-Renters-not hi
tieth part OF the whole cumberland done 'croRS'
therefore it was improper and inexpedicnt IN the
Legislature to investigate the alleged grievances OF
them all in order to do what should be found rtght
The consequences Of this doctrine we have seem
Let all hard names and mutual reproaches be now
dropped and the Legislature take hold OF the subject
with an earnest determination TO put the matter
thoroughly at rest, if possible II the Antihen'ers
ask auv thing which cannot be granted let the Le-
gislature say so, promptly and decidedly But Ii
they ask any thing that can and ought TO be granted
lie. that be done, not grudgingly. but heartily and
speedily 1t is high time the agitation were put tor
ever at rest.
