To the Friends of the Statesman and
Blue Hens Chicken

The proprietorship Of the "Blue Hens
Chicken" having passed into the hands Of
the conductors of the "Statesman" ar
rsngements have been perfected by which
the permanent value of the paper will be
greatly enhanced The Semi Weekly
will be continued of its former size, and
with the same general character, except
that additional effort will be used to
place the community in possession Of
whatever current information is of use
full or interesting character. Identified
in the fullest manner with the prosperity
Of the City and State, the aim will be to
develop and promote whatever may con-
duce to the common welfare. We res
pectfully request our Citizens to aid us,
by imparting such information as tends
10 promote this important object.
The weekly will partake much of the
"local" character of the "Blue Hens
Chicken" which has given that paper a
larger circulation and made it more wide
ly known than any other in the State.
1t will be however considerably en-
larged, and in typographical appearance,
will equal the Statesman" and be sec-
ond to none in the Country. The con-
ductors are happy to say that the valua-
bic services of Mr.. Francis Vincent, the
former editor, will be continued in his
favorite department, and we trust the
readers Of the "Blue Hens Chicken"
will have no reason to complain of the
change.
To Advertisers, whether in or out Of
our State, the medium we present for
communicating with the public, has obyi-
ssaGsssyy greater ivAAtOs as,-s snut ss.; be, 81
fered elsewhere, as our circulation is not
approached by any other local paper, and
the most diligent efforts will be used to
increase its list of subscribers.
Persons sending advertisements from
distance, may rely upon the same treat
ment they would receive if present.
We take occasion to say that Our JOB
OFFICE is unrivalled in the State, and
not surpassed elsewhere, for its facilities
in doing all kinds of plain and fancy
work, and with unusual despatch.

nents, and gave him every possible adj
vantage.
After all, Seymour's success is owing to
the corrupt influence of the large cities.
The Country, "God made" was not on
the side of Rum New York was the
strong hold of the enemy. At the most,
Seymour's majority in the State is set
down at 10000. Now, look at the re-

In the same connection read the follow

1t is amusing to hear the repetition Of
that cry, from sources accustomed to the
ofeveay fraud possible, for
the purpose Of gaining votes. All who
wish to vote pure Prohibitory Ticket,
should for the purpose of saving them
selves, trouble, get their ballots from the

In season and out of season, we have
urged upon the community the necessity
Of harmoniz;ng upon the questions Of
Prohibiting thesale ofintoxicating liquors
as beverage, and at whatever sacrifice
to secure Legislature who would not
trife with the dearest interests of their
constituency. Our fears are great, lest the
divisions, which prevail, should leopard
our success, but, confidence in the intel
ligence and integrity Of the community,
leaves the bright hope that in all the par
ties Except the Rum party the cause Of
the Drunkard, will not be forgotten, and
that Tuesday next will inaugurate the
reign of TEMPERANCE IN DELAWARE.
