Delaware weekly Republican. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1841-188?, 1857-09-03

VA AuSShAl hNAb W hliult KNOW llg GlluHlC-
ter of the citizens OF Wilmington. The City
election will furnish u complete test of their
decency and good order. Two tickets are be-
fore us, for our election. The ono is q misno
mer. 1t is called the Democratic. 1t should
BIO the rum, rOwdy ticket, for il will be recOl-
lected that Mr.. Darrach represented the true
Democracy of Wilmington, but could not get
the nomination, because he would NOT run
ndamong all the low grJggeries Of the place.
Rum and Lager Beer controlled and made the
nomination. 10 prove this tIct you have only
to see the men who snail rally around the can
didate on Tuesday next. Mark the red noses
and swelled heads that come up from the vile
sinks OF the city to his support w hat shall
say OF the SO called Democratic candidate fol
Alderman We trust the city will never set
such an example to her youth as his election
would be.
The Gazette, although edited by decent
man, shows tho effect of contamination, and
proves the old adage that "evl communications
corrupt good manners" 1t attacks the char
acter Of Mr.. Sparks because he is too decent II
man to associate with the low and yicious.-
Tho gist OF his argument is that Mr.. Sparks is
too decent a man to be Mayor OF W ilmington. Il
the city was made up mainly Of such mon as he
advocates Tor Mayor and Alderman | should
thlnk with him, but trust there are yet loft
enough decency and morality, to say nothing
ofreligion, to rebuke the party who offer them
as candidates. ACIrIZEN.
