The Messenger. [volume] (Georgetown, Del.) 1858-18??, 1859-11-03

Mr.. EEIToR.--It has been sur
prising to many Of your readers, as
well as myself, that the citizens of
Sussex do not take more interest in
the Messenger. This week you are
compelled-to Issue It with an apology.
We cannot find fault with you; we
know that you cannot be everywhere
yet We do think that there might be
one person, at least, in each" town,
in your county, who could find time
to write you letter, giving you the
pews from that locality. fe9It may
appearto those, who reside in that
vicinity that it would be mighty
poor ste,ds; but to us, who are away
from ..home'iIito would be precious
'sews. What we do hear is thorough
the medium of the Messenger, and
we should not complain, nor do we
complain Of 'you.i We believe your
little sheet is a standing institution.
1t should be the pride Of the, county;
it should be their paper, and IN eve
ry manner possible, should sustain
ESPECIALLY with their money and
their pen. 1t is to their interest to
do SO. Now, we are ready to unite
IN covenant with them. If they
will promise to send you the news
from their respective localities, we
win give them our hand that we will
occasionally drop lyou few lines
Mt least We will keep you posted
relative to the doings Of Delaware
ans, in this city. 1 know you well
enough to say, that you, as the
third party--the seconds in this af-
fair-will not object to this, l hope,
mutual agreement. Will you? ~
Although it may appear that rum
is doing its work in our midst, 1 am
lglad to see that the friends of tenn
peranoe are up and doing. Since
my last, our friends, the Cadets Of
Temperance have been showing the
world their strength. On the 18th
THE "Csdets Of Temperance" had a
parade. 1t was a beautiful sight to
see the youth of our city-the hope
of our country, coming out and
showing "Johnny Barleycorn" that
his days were numbered. Ono sec.
ton carried banner with the motto
"All right when Daddy comes home
sober" another with "Rum mus
perish--the Cadets have spoken
What a great blessing to our coun,
try, if this be so! It would dry the
tear of the helpless child, and com
fort the broken hearted parent. L
would be impossible for me to under
take to describe to you the effect o.
the parade. 1t passed by some 0
our drinking houses, and must hav
made the rum sellers feel rather dull
ashamed of themselves, if posi-
Bile. On the 18th, "Independen
, Order of Cadets Of Temperance
paraded, making a fine display
: There is movement on foot to ge
up parade of the Sons Of Temper
ance. It would certainly be an i'm
! posing sight to see all of our temper
ance societies together. / have tn
means to know that the whole ten
perance order is increasing great
in numbers. Why are there nc
societies formed in every town i
your county? Let temperance mel

the old and the young. 1t has bee
: the means of benefitting many, an
: it can be so again. = 2e
