STATE OF DELAWARE.
To the Editor Of the Union:

WILaiNGros, oct 81, 1916.
l am, and ever have been, whig. and, so far as
I am aware, an honest one. The tariff Of lS42 was
opposed to when it passed, and had been in Con-
gress, | should, like the Hon. Thomas Clay ton
have voted against il. The Hon. Geo. b. Rodney,
the from this State voted for that bill
contrary to the remonstrances of his best friends
The consequence was, that when he was before his
constituents in the fall Of l542 for election, he
escaped defeat by the msagre majority Of votes,
while his majority, in 1910, was rising 900 votes.
This State agricultural State and while her cit
zens are favorable to manufactures, and willing that
they should be far protected TO enable them to
compete with the foreign market, they are opposed
being taxed by government to an amount prohibii-
ing Importation enabling The capitalist engaged in that
branch Of industry TO ride rongh-stod oper the o'o''er
and tIler Of the SOIL divide his thirty per cent? and
boil his hams in champagne toine. This the tariff Of
1912 enabled some to do. That Of 1886 has not yet
gone into operation. What its effects will be, time
will determine. Among the intelligent men of our
State (politica asprans excepted) 1t is deemed am
py protective for every branch Of industry to -four
ish under it. Political capital is attempted to be
made for the coming election by calling 1t the Brit
ish tariff and by representing to the people of Kent
and Sussex counties that government has ordered a
draft Of 600 men to be made for the army in Mex
| ico. But notwithstanding all such misrepresenta-
tons, verify believe that Mr.. Tharp, the democratic
candidate, will receive majority of more than 300
votes The people have got tired of being ruled by
certain men ddre,sed and futieing in brocade," who
look upon all who dress in homespun, manufactured
in the families of the industrious, unworthy of,
| and too poor to hold Office. Mr.. Causey's election
would perpe,uate miserable dynasty, composed OF
men without character worth, who live upon the
vitas Of the people, while they are continually ex-
claiming "damn the people" The election of Mr..
| Tharp will disperse this miserable clan, and give
the poor man chance to live; and hence 1t is that
many wings have joined the democrats for the pur-
a. basir n In nun
then, Delaware among the democratic States so far
a governor is concerned. Houston, the whig can
didaie for Congress, will probably escape defeat by

The New Orleans Tropic gives the following ac-
count Of the activity and zeal Of very meritorious
young officer, the nephew Of General Kearny:
"Lieut. Philip Kearny, nephew Of Gen. Keany,
arrived here day before yesterday, with as 6ne a
company Of cavalry was ever seen IN New Or
leans. The horses, 80 in number, are all grays,
and beautiful in the extreme. The men are picked
and noble-ooking fellows. The trappngs Of the
horses and the accourements Of their riders are all
that the most fastldious commander could wish
Lieut.. Kearny has been, from his youth, most de-
voted and enthusiastic equestrian and cavalry man.
He spent some years under the command and tutel-
age Of his gallant uncle, and then went to Europe,
under instructions from government, to ascertain and
report on the most useful and easy kind OF equip
ment for cavalry; and he acquitted himself of his
task in a manner highly creditabe to himself and
the government While abroad, with view to fa-
mlliarize himself with actual warfare, he eft the
United States service and entered volunteer in the
French army in Africa, where he served as chas-
seur through hout the bloody campaign Of l6i0. He
has again joined our army, and raised the fine com
pany Of Dragons Of which We have spoken. We
sincerely hope that he and his brave comrades will
soon have an opportunity Of Distinguishing them
selves among the ardent and gallant young officers
of the American army"

"We have no idea Of the extent Of the loss Of the
Mexicans, as they carried them Oft as fast as they
fell Gen. Taylor sent flag ofuuee TO obtain time
to bury the dead, but they refused. The Mexican
laneers speared our wounded men before we could
have time 10 rescue them.
"Lieut Boyle led on to battle like an erpe-

all behaved nobly. Captain Waters Is safe, as is
also Thomas Fitzgerald; and you may tell his

Ma. EpIroR: What the object of certain editors
and their Swiss correspondents, in the manufacture
and circulation of such monstrous falsehoods and
absurdities as crowd certain journals may be, time
win determine. The public can afford to await the
arrival of authentic statements and will then award
10 their officers and soldiers in the field the praise
the censure which may be deserved, .ss...g sH.
NV object at present is to communicate informa-
ton received through a gallant regular officer,
Who has Just returned from Monterey, in the cap
ture of which he bore his part, in relation to the
charges against General Butler. He says, explicit
w. 'that if there any complaint against General
Butler on any account, in the army, he had nepe,
heard of IT,; and especially that he had heard OF no
angry words or difficulty Of any kind between
Generals Taylor and Butler; nor did he believe that
there had been any. The officers Of the regular
army had the greatest respect for General Butler
as we'll as for General Taylor, and had all been to
visit the former after receiving his wound" ,..t
He also says that "the kindest feelings exist in
the army between the regulars and volunteers; and
that the former considered the latter as having
shown extraordinary steadiness and efficiency for
raw troops" %.
| will add a piece Of information obtained from
an equally credible source, IL is that there was
but one instance Of shade Of censure thrown upon
a volunteer corps for faerng in hot place; and
that corps mas not from Kentucky or Ohio.
