There arc efforts made to bring IL

| -Thcrc are efforts made to bring the
present Board of County Commissioners
into disrepute, for the purpose of injuring
the election of the American candidates
for that Office now on the ticket. The
| article in the Democrat of last week,
signed I" II Furmer," may be taken as a
fair sample of the attempts to this effect.
Let us examine it. The writer asks -
"Why is it our land will not bring as
much in the market as Delaware land !"--
" 1T is simply because we are borne
down by excessive taxation. And what
cause has produced such an effect? The rule
or mis-rule of that party opposed to Demo-
cratic principles"
1t is know fact since the people dis
cardcd the last Democratic Board of
Commissioners, which gave away three
thousand dollar fees, and did other
ridiculous things-since the voters have
kept Wings and Americans in the Com
missioner's Office, the prices of lands in
this county have nearly, if not quite
doubled. In some localities they have
more than doubled. And much of this
is owing to the fact that the County
Commissioners of "that party opposed
to Democratic principles Ito use the
words of the writer,) have turned their
attention to improving the county, to
building substantial bridges and opening
up good highways for the convenience
Of the landholders, lin which matters the
people Of Delaware, to whom tho writer
refers, were far ahead of us.) And it is
reasonable to suppose that under the
safe administration of such men as
STEPHEN RICHARDS, JETHRo j. MCCUL
LoUGH and JOHN FRANCIS STEVENS,
the county will continue to improve
They are men whose interests are con-
nected with the interests of the people
of the county, and business men of more
than ordinary capability, the voters of
the county Will not fear to trust the busl-
ness of the county in their hands.
The writer proceeds: "The opposition
cannot deny that our taxes are enormous"
The taxes are 70 cents in the Sl00 ;
of this II cents is School tax; and, we
presume, an equal amount, if not more,
the sum necessary by law to be levied to
pay Witnesses, Jurors, and Supervisors
in advance which would make the tax un-
der ordinary circumstances but 46 cents,
which is a low tax. Any man ofintelli-
gence knows that any Board of Commits
sioncrs democratic or otherwise, would
have been compelled under the laws, to
levy the school tax, and the extra amount
to effect the change in the county's
financial affairs, ofpaying witnesses &C.,
in advance, without which extra amounts
J the county levy would not probably have
