The wings and Free dom ma nj ipation in
Delaware.

When we announced that the bill providing for
the Gradual Abolition of Slavery in Delaware
which had passed the House by vote of ~ to s,
had been defeated by a tie vote in tho Senate we
inquired what was the Political complexion Of the
Yeas and Nays respectively. Our inquiry has
elected from most responsible source the follow.
ing answer;
STATE OF DEL. March 2, 1s47.
In The NewYork Tribune OF the LIST March, you
ask who will send you the political complexion OF
the Yeas and Nays in the Legislature of Della
ware on the bill for the Gradual Abolition Of Slav
cry in that State That bill passed the Representa-
tire branch In Delaware by vote OF nearly or
ubout two TO one-thc Wings all voting for il ex.
cept two In the Senate al the Wings voted for
it except one. With the exception OF one Demo.
GRAFT all the rest Of that party voted against Gradual
Abolition. NERITAS.
We entreat all who believe there is any real De.
mocrscy in that party which assumes the name
NIL who vote with that party because it is called
Democrstic--to ponder these facts. Why should
they not Are they not pertinent and decisivel-
How can any man pretend TO the least ilgment of
genuine Democracy who opposes the Gradual Abo-
htion Of Slavery in State where ii may be effect
ed so safely and with little injury to any
In Delaware Why is il, how is it, that those who
live and iatten upon sanctmonious professions Of
Democracy are so uniformly the most jealous for
extending and the most stubborn in upholding the
enslavement OF Men and Women
We press this question upon the Ersatag Post,
and the clique Of Doc,yIaairss ofwhioht is the organ
Messrs Of the Post \ Co. if the Democracy of
your party be anything better than whted
sepuichre. why has that party defeated Emancpa.

mainly the more wealthy portion OF the eommuni
Is; Of course Emancipation would naiet most loss
upon them, while TO the Free Laborers. whom you
claim as mainly Of your party, il could not fail to
prove signal blessing. Why, then. has the De
mocraey' YOU eonsort with defeated Emancipation
In Delswarel Why has it furnished every vote
from the Free States against the Wilmot Proviso
while the party you stsmstize as Arissocratic and
hostile TO Freedom has givoR not only ali its votes
from the Free States but two from the Slave States
for the introduction Of Slavery from any new terri
sory Of the Union Why did not one Journal Of your
party advocate Universal Suffrage in our State last
Fall, while majority Of cur presses heartily sup,
