Opposed as we are to corporate indebtedness and In
creased taxation we forced to say that think the
voters of Wilmington ought by all MEANS to authorize
the town authorities to make the subscription upon the
terms and conditions proposed We think that if not
DONE it will be cause Of a regret.
The conditions are simply these that responsible
contractor takes the whole work to do it through from
one end to the other to be in working order within
year from the first of next month"; the only guarantee
quired of the town being the obligation of the town
thorities to issue town bonds for the amount of
as soon as the contract is fulfilled and the whole work
operation.
Upon the whole, we really aud honestly think that
the prospective advantages outweigh the risks. Were
the question new one we should declare ourselves OPP
posed to all corporate invOmentS. 1t would be better
in the long rum if not single city or town on the con-
tnent had soed paper with the evidences of its
debte1ness. But this is not a question 1t must
be taken as we find it. We in a certain position
and must act so as out of that position to reap the lar
gest amount of benefit and sustain the smallest amount
of injury We think we shall act most prudently by
authorizing this subscription. We honestly do.
We confess to considerable difidence in urging this
matter upon the attention of our fellow citizens. With
our IDEAS OF corporate lhuepteuheos' VIC Always l 80

are laborng under the heaviest embarrassments
The fact, however is before A question: if not o.

Of the greatest importance to the town and to the State
is to be decided For our part, we cannot bring
ourselves to despair of that workwe cannot overlook
the immense benefits it must produce and confer-we
cannot forget that the eyes of the State are upon us
that this may be the turning point when success achev
ed, will give Us an onward impetus, and failure may
mark the first step in our decline We cannot but think
Also that the proposition submitted is safe and fail

BF@As an evidence of how secretly the movements of
the muneers in British India concerted we may
allude to the grounds of encouragement originally held
out by the English press and repeated often long after
the disturbances had broken out and assumed formidable
proportions 1t was said that the British could rely
upon the old maxim of satecraft-that they could "di
vide and govern. 1t said that the Hindoos could
be offset by the Mohammedans, and the MOhamnedans
by the HindOos-tha the outbreak was supposed to
proceed from Hindoo superstition, the Mussulman big
otry would hold it in check.
Now, the disturbances first exhibited themselves among
the HindOo regiments but it is now admitted on all
hands that the Mohammedan princes at the head Of
it. and that the object aimed at is neither less
than the restoration of the Mohamedan regime under
the sovereignty of the MOgul Emperor of Delhi.
Previous to the advent of the East India Company
the whole OF Hindostan either really nomnally
under the scepe of the Delhi Emperor and all the 9th
princes rulers held their authority under them as
their liege lords. When the Empire began to fall to
pieces, the Vceroys set up independent soveregns
and sustained in their refractory course by the
English into whose clutches they fell The glories
of the old Empire still live in the imaginatons of the
sodery and that it is which they aim to reestablisb
that they may govern in its name.
