have watched with a great deal of eoicit1de the
conrse Of the sSustion with regard TO the time OF

10 the confederation OF the qneston in consequence OF
tie suppo, ed sma lnes of their numbers. Bot there
are 500 reasons, growing ont OF the political condi-
ticn Of The State, hcb | think, entle their repre-

That there is among the Opposition in Dola ware a
snch larger Republican sentiment than has yet
found voice at the polls, is beyond questions and
thar. by iuditious eourse of action, that senti-

fifteen hundred votrs in this State who will not under

10 be the generally expressed desire Of all localities
and ia tie absepee Of any dissenting opinion, we think
we have right to expect the National COMMITTEES to
make the change If there good reasons why 1t
