The Duty of Dem ocrats.

The Democracy,O of Delaware have achieved a
glorious victory over their opponents victory
which may we'll cause the bosom Of every
patriotic Democrat to swell with emotions of
joy and pride
Democrats should remember the political his
tory OF all victorious parties or States. and
should bear in mind the all-important fact that
our work as party is by no means ended -
our work is just begun.
HANNIBAL was brave; FAplus was cautious.
All historians agree in censuring the great Car
thagenian General for not marching immedi
atcly on to Rome after he had utterly DESTROYED
the Roman army at Cannae instead of dallvinr
by the way, as he did, in the attempt TO
strengthen his position by alliances with the
subordinate Italian cities The fate Of Carthage
Should be warning 10 all parties, more cspe-
cialiy the Democratic, at the present time, to
discountenance alliances with side factions,
however plausible and comedy their designs
may appear to superficial view. As brave as
HANNIBAL the Democracy have proved them.
selyes let us, then, in the day of our great tri-
1'iP"' en'ul"te AbioS III caution ana prudence;
and our victory shall be as permanent and as
full of glorious achievements as the most sincere
patriot could desire.
There is much work knotty work in store
for the action of the triumphant Democracy.
Let our men plant themselves firmly on high
ground--on the FIRST and best principles Of gov
ernment let all new measures lie cautiously
subjected to the Democratic rule and whatever
IS right receive and support, whatever is wrong
reject, though present policy should seem 10
favor it. In this manner will our victory be
consolidated our position made impregnable,
and two years hence the election of Demo
cratic Governor, BY a thousand majority, made
certain.
Delaware State reporter., 1856-11-11

CAss AND DouGLAs.-Tn the midst Of our re-
joicng over the great national victory Of our
party, we must not lose sight of our losses
Some Of our greatest generals have been left on
the field of battle From the niger complexion
of the Legislatures Of Illinois and Michigan,
CAss and DOUGLAS will not be returned to the
United States Senate When we look back to
the history Of our national legislation, we find
the Senate has on repeated occasions proved the
bulwark of the Constitution and, we NAV saw,
saved the Union-that palladium of all our
dearest political rights; when We reflect and
remember that CASs, a CLAY, a CALHOUN, a
CLAYTON, a DOUGLAS and WEBSTER were the
leading spirits in that Senate, it is mournGul to
be made known these inteects are to give
place to younger and more inexperienced men,
CLAY, CALHOUN, CLAYTON and WEBSTER have
gone to their last resting place, and CAss and
DOUGLAS arc to be sacrificed to the fury of a
wild, suicidal fanatcism. The Senate, the ma
ton, the world will much miss these statesmen
from the council-halls of the country. May the
spirit Of their patriotism rest with their success
sors, that the glory and the unity of our coun-
try may be preserved TO future generations
furnishing an example which the struggling
humanity Of the old world will emulate 10 their
final redemption from the kings and the dcs-
pots Of Garth
Delaware State reporter., 1856-11-11

NEW License LAw.-It has always been the
endeavor Of the Democratic party to take the
temperance question out of politics, 10 restore
1t to the healthful, potent influence Of moral
suaslon; to place and keep it where it properly
belongs, III social life--one of the leading rraces
OF all civilized communities The existing
monsirosity ola law has got to be repealed by
the incoming legislature. 1t should be the de-
sire Of every citizen, of every good Democrat,
that the substitute should he as near as possible
in conformity with the will of the majority Of
the peoples that it should be based on the most
approved and correct principles Of both govern
mcnt and the Constitution and that its practi.
cal operation should be found 50 consistent with
the wants Of the public, and at the same time
with the absolute requirements of society, that
the question will be settled forever, and there
will be no more futile attempts to lcgislate men
INTO sobriety no more endcayors TO divcst men
OF their natural right to cat, drink and wear
whatsoever they chose, subject only to their
Creator and Society for the abuse Of this, their
prerogative. To this end let the members elect
consult well and extensively their constituents
as to the character Of license law they desire.
and let the peonln takn fraana,,t >..@~..:--,
press their views fully to the members. If this
be done and correctly acted upon, public scnti-
ment will endorse the new law it will stand
for years and years; Maine law fanaticism will
be utterly cradicatcd, and the machinery of gov
ernmcnt will once more move evenly by true,
wholesome aud correct principles Than this,
by JACKSON, no man ever uttered noblcr scnti-
ment; = Let the blessings mot the despotisms)
Of government, like the dews of Heaven, fall
upon the rich and the poor alike. :" No system
Of government, which has not for its base the
principle of equality, can long survive in this
land Of equal rights and equal privileges.
Delaware State reporter., 1856-11-11

VINO is INDEBTED ?-Wc have opened an en-
tire new set Of books for the transaction of all
the business Of this establishment hereafter.
We have closed the books Of the late firm; and
as soon as the accounts shall have been footed
up and the amounts ascertained, we shall for
ward to each debtor statement of bis account.
1t is particularly desired that each person will
Immediately send in the amount to US in person,
SO as to save the annoyance and expense of
having to resort to a collector. There are at
least one thousand accounts standing open,
owing from twenty-five cents to twenty-five
dollars. The average of each will be about two
dollars. To put these one thousand small &C.
counts in the hands of collector, would cost
us about what they are worth. No just man
would force us into this alternative. Therefore,
friends, hold yourselves in readiness to settle
your accounts as soon as they are presented to
you.

TIE OLD LINE Wines. cannot give TOO
much credit, TOO much honor to those noble
hearted old line Wings, who, in the late con-
test, rallied under the banner of the Constitu-
ton who fought side by side with the Demo-
cratic party, in defence of the lights of the
States and the preservation of our republican
institutions, and who so largely assisted in Sc
curing for us such a handsome majority over
the combined force Of factions and sms and
everything else which could be put in harness
and arraycd against us, In this State we con-
TESS ourselves vitality indebted to their timely
assistance; and we sincerely hope and trust
they will like the acquaintance so well that
they will be induced to swear eternal friend
ship with the Democracy; to become part and
parcel of that great band of brothers; and to
continue with us from this time, henceforth
and forever. In this dark day of fanatcism
and growing sectionalisin, it wisely ard nobly
becomes all national men-all true patriots,
who love their country more than party or self
10 join hand-in-hand and do battle in the
cause together.
Delaware State reporter., 1856-11-11

Two U. S. SESAToEs.-Tn the political wrld
outside We hear several different arrangements
spoken Of for the election of the two Unied
States Senator'S. The first is Hon J4sslEs ! /.
BAYARp to be continued for the long term ani
NJ. W, Bates, Esq, for The short term. If Mr.
BATES declines, then W. II. ROGERS, Esq, WIZ.
LARD SAuLsnrRY, Esq, Hon. GEo. READ RIDDLE
and DANIEL NJ BATES, Esq, are spoken Of
The second is, in the event of Mr.. BAYARp be-
ing appointed Attorney General under b.
cHANAN, to take RoGERs and SAULsBUaY. Out
siders may speculate as much as THY please,
but we trust implicitly in the wisdom and good
judgment Of our new Democratic legislature
to select the best mcn-mcn who VIII most
ably represent the State.
Delaware State reporter., 1856-11-11

TIE LATE ELECTION. Sufficient returns have
been received to place the fact of the election Of
JAMES BUCHANAN to the Presidency beyond the
possibility Of doubt. The Z. S. Senate will
be at least two-thirds Democratic The House
of Representatives will be composed of about
l35 Democrats 90 Niger Worshippcrs and 0
Know Nothings. After the agonizing doubts
experienced by the national men of the country
in consequence Of a great sectional party
aspiring to power with the probability Of sue
cess-this result brings quiet satsIaction--a
calm, peaceful joy and larger and Geer
Dreath-for the country is safe.
Delaware State reporter., 1856-11-11

The CHANGE.-Commcncing with the next
issue, the publication of the REPORTER will
be weekly. The subscription price will be two
dollars year. No subscription will be served
unless the order is accompanied with the money
The size Of the paper will be increased as soon
as the circulation and patronage will Justify it,
In making this change we have consulted the
interests Of tho party, the reading-pubic and
moro particularly the pecuniary Interest Of the
proprietor. As more time will be given for
composition, our editorials will bear being
written with more care, thought, Judgment and
delibcration. In this manner, measures of
policy and all matters concerning the future
development Of our State, can be discussed
more at leisure and consequently more under
standingly. Further, we believe the pubca.
ton of paper but once instead Of twice week
can be done without loss or the constant drain
upon the private capital Of the publisher. From
the day the publication of the REPORTER was
commenced, it has been in healthy condition,
and would have been remunerating if the bust
ness had been cash, or even approximatng to
it. But the credit system, which it extended
very generally, kept it constantly embarrassed
1t cost more than the profits to collect barely
enough to keep up expenses. This sclf.de-
vouring credit system must be curtaied 10 in.
sure an uninterrupted publication of the paper.
With this positive understanding, we expect
all persons who wish hereafter to be served
with the REPORTER, and all our friends who are
pleased to continue their patronage, to remit by
mail OF otherwise two dollars for uanr,s p..i
scription in advance. The paper will be sent
to none but paid subscribers. We had rather
furnish five hundred paid subscribers than two
thousand unpaid. Don't forget this, friend,
but send on your two dollars by the next mail
We shall look for it.
