short notice, as he joys along through the
world. We had thought to have let him pass
along quietly, but the gentleman is seeking
martyrdom, and we have slight disposition
to come to mis- relief and give the cur II kick
1t would be pity to let this martyr run to
seed. He says in his issue of yesterday, that
awe are compelled to sustain the attacks OF
four papers in our city, and it is certainly lit
tie to the credit of Mr.. Townsend to add his
bulletins to this unequal contest"
This he knew to be a wilful falsehood when
he wrote it. We never attacked him. One
time he lied about us and we said So and we
don't now, nor do we ever intend, permitting
him to lie about us uncontradicted. This con-
ceited fellow puts on airs, and talks patroniz-
ingly of the common soldiers in the Democratic
party. Listen to him-a mixture of truth and
disposition to sneak into the Douglas camp,
on his marrow bones:
ain all truth and sincerity we avow that we
would rather work with the Opposition than
to bow to the tyranny of Mr.. Townsend; and
we have but little better opinion of his CO.
laborers, who are greatly injuring Mr.. Douglas
by making such free use of his name in con-
nection with their disorganizing movements
We cannot fail to look upon those who are hos
tile to the Democrats who manage our National,
State and city administrations, as hostile to
the Democratic party
We never expect TO see Caleb open his head
against patronage nor do we ever expect to
hear single word of independence come out
of him. We would advise the independent
-, tha ~ -
Caieb's and get their cue before they speak
their sentiments. His democracy is the simon
pure, and You plebeans who have no right to
any views of your own, ought to be careful of
speaking so he can hear you. lie is the grand
censor upon the Democracy, and if you do not
come up Tor down to his standard you will
be looked upon MS hostile to the Democratic
party. We would just hint to Caleb that the
opponents of his Democracy 1.-THE pocket De-
mocracy) were to vote against the Democratic
organization, there would not be a greasy spot
of them left
We speak out plainly, and always will speak
out plainly about the abuses of the party; we
will never attempt to shoulder the corruptons
of men who were never Democrats until they
found it paying stock, aud endeavour to fight
a campaign through. We never thought much
Of the spaniel who ticks the hand that lays on
the lash, and in all our newspaper experience
we never saw as seryic a sheet as the thing
printed in this city, called the "Deiaware
Gazette" There is not genuine Democrat but
what oxecrates the concern, and gives the
editor gentle anathema as he goes along. 1t
is no wonder that he takes exception to the
meeting at Blackbird on Saturday last.
The following resolution was passed unani-
mously-not dissenting vote:
Resolved That we pronounce the anonymous
communication in the Gasettc, signed c. base
talsehood and SANDER on Demscrats of this
Hundred, and we further condemn the editor of
said Gazette for publishing communications of
that sort in his paper as it is calculated to
keep the Democratic party eternally in hot
water, and thereby encourage the enemy to
struggle for its overthrow.
When he found that the Democracy denounced
bis filthy sheet, he had good reason to writhe
under the blow. They had been villifed in
the columns of the Gazette, and they intended
to publicly rebuke him, and they did SO. The
meeting that did SO was composed of as good
Democrats as any in the party. The President
of that meeting, was one of the Democratic
candidates for Levy Court Commissioner, at the
election of 1858, and all the officers of that
meeting are we'll known to the Democracy of
this county. They are the kind of men who
make majorities in any party, and who will
not be insulted by men who have no more po-
ltical principle than the Editor of the Delaware
