excitement in this town-cause, two political

marshalIing of the forces, for any one conver.
SAINT with these demonstrations knows that
much depends upon the size of the crowd that
can be collected together, in order to insure a
success. The two parties-Democrat and Re-

good speakers, and will no doubt do everything
TO make their respective meetings attractive

Census of Delaware,

WE find in the Wilmington Gazette the
complste returns of the census of Delaware,
ftOm which we learn that there are in the
STATE llO.542 free persons, and 1904 slaves,
or 1881 Inhabitants altogether; l9,257
dwellings,, 19.264 families, 6666 farms, 6l5
slave owners. There are 254 slaves in New
Cattle, 2O3 10 Kent, and l345 in Sussex. In
1850 there were in New Castle 347, Kent 394
aud Sussex I549-total 1890. There has
therefore been general decrease of slaves all
over the State, reaching in the aggregate l85.
The total increase in the population of the
State is 1855.

NOVEMBER AND OYsTERs.-November and
oysters are synonymous. 1t is said that BIZ
valves ought not to be eaten in any month
which has not an K in it, but we will 90 fur
ther and say that they ought not to be eaten
until October or November, for then they be-
gin to fatte0. become juicy and are in " robust
health" We are pleased to notice that they
are getting plenty in our market, and of un:
usual good quality. The only regret have
is that the stiffness of prices and the tightness
of the times prevent many from enjoying often
er the luxury of dish at supper. But if all
our readers cannot enjoy the oysters, they can
at least enjoy the music of the following hard
she'll lyric, set TO music by FRY:
Strike the resounding Tyre
Bring roses from the plain
Rejoice ye young--let's all get sprung;
Oysters have come again!
The summers past away
OF that cont complain;
Its flowers have died-but let 'em slide
Oysters have come again!
sought foI joy in clans
Awhile they eased my pain
But now all clans seem stuff and fams-
Oysters have come again.
Now let us sail with Joy
Over life's stormy main;
Crack on the ship and let her rip
Oysters have come again!

A DOUGLAS MEETING was held at Ward 8
Hall, in this town, on Wednesday evening
last, and spirited addresses delivered by Elias
s. Reed. candidate for Congress, and John
O'Byrne, of Philadelphia. The Hall was
filled, the meeting being composed of men of
all parties--lhis being the first Douglas meet
ing held in town-and notwithstanding there
was no organization to receive and introduce
them. they failed not to arouse the audience,
and elicit frequent applause by their force, en-
ergy and direct hits at their opponents. The
two speakers have, we learn, been making a
tour OF the State with encouraging results.

THE ominOus future Of Europe, says the New
York Times, lies further to the East. The ti-
dings which come to US from Syria Of Moslem
outbreaks, following instantly upon the with
drawal of the Ottoman troops are infinitely
more menacing than all the diplomatic quip-
rOquos which come to US from Rome and Ma
pies. The Oriental question is the existing
and threatening question of Europe. 1t at
iaehes itself TO the most dangerous features Oi
o'iental life, and the warning which we re-
celse may well advise thoughtful men Of a
stern and general settling day no longer to be
postponed. 1t is simply inconceiVable that the
Syrian knot should now be disentangled other.
