ALI, TRTJE UEMOCRAT Alta REA n THIS


AS Democrat, deem 1t my duty to expose the
bare>faced rascaity, inconsistency and hypocrisy,
enacted at the County meeting held at Delaware
City, on last Saturday. Several Hundreds Of this
county had, by q majority of the Demoor alto
party in said Hundreds, nominated candidates for
the Legislature by ballot and aso Delegates to the
Convention. Some Of said nominations, that suited
a certain set of wire .pulers, admitted, and
others thrown out; and in the Of AppOquinimin
and Christians, nominl hese wire pullers
were made for them Just as though they were slaves
and had no rights, II the Democracy of those two
Hundreds submit to this unheardof usurpation, they
ought to have haes put around their neoks for their
masters TO lead them by. We of Appoqunimnk
nominated John Townsend by 1888 votes, and our
Delegates by the same vote another set of men,
who have had offices, and did gave but little
for tho party, nominated by 45 votes legal md lille
gal, another set of Delegates according to arrange
ment with William ID. 0cheltree and Dr. John err.
ritt-who both got themselves put on from their
Hundreds for Delegates, Onpurpose, with few 9TH
to pack the delegates of the County against the
majority OF this Hundred. These said delegates on
last Saturday, whilst pretending to repres demo-
cratic principles, admitted the minority delegates
who only got As votes good and bR into the Conyen
tion with the same rights as the other delegates who
had received 1873 votes and then threw off our nom.

when the question Of ratification was put TO the

early day, torecommend each Hundred 10 nominate
