In response to our proposition of last Friduy,
to insert in the Joarnai the names of the " Re-
publicans' who were charged by the Comaon.
eedtM with having their "pams creased" to
engineer the lottery bin through the Legislature
by corrupt means, the editor of that paper
says;-
" As the maxim OF the law is, "the greater
the truth the greater the libel, we decline to
furnish the names inasmuch as we do not desire
10 become the olgect Of IA prosecution for libel
II would seem to be probable, however. from the
present appearance Of matters that the names
will come out"
Now it Just so happens that tile .'maxim of
the law is no such thing; and instead of being
held in damages for the publication, the editor
would be entirety eIoardtrd and held guitless
under the law. To prove this, we quote from
the Libel law passed by our Legislature few
years since. II may lie found in the Laws of
Delaware, volume l.. From this it will be seen
that unless the editor of ihe Commonwealth
acknowledges malicious intent" the truth
" shall operate to his acquittal" Let us have
the names, therefore, The Libel law is n per.
feet satety-yaye through which they may he
passed to the people as matter necessary and
proper for "public information"

the passage of this Act, On the trial of inIict-
menis for Writing or publishing libel, the truth

My DEAR l.
I wish to have a few parting

wish 10 nave rev parting
words with you.
First-For the clearing of your own con-
science in going to war, and rid your mind Of
the presence and influence of unholy passions,
calmly regard yourself as representative man..
Yet go not in our own name, but 10 the name
of the Government--nOt TO avenge any private
quarrel, but, at the bidding of the State, to aid
in upholding the supremacy of the law. You do
all this with as clear inoifensive a mind and as
clear conscience as the judge may possess
while pronouncing sentence Of death upon the
criminal at the bar or the officers of the law
vile executing its sentence. This view Of the
case (which am sure is the just one) will leave
you as free to pray as to fight, and il fully np.
preciated will dgnify and enoble your soldier
life. Going forth in this spirit, aud in this CON
viction, you may possess the consciousness that
you can glorify God while seeking to gratify your
patriotism.
Second-Dear constantly in mind that you will
strVe your country and the glorious cause best.
by strictly obeying the orders OF your superior
officers, promptly, and with the manifestation of
a cheenfM readiness for every duiy This you
ought to do; il will serve TO lightcn the anxiety
of those in command, and ii will exert happy
influence upon your comrades in arms Thus
may you render large and Efficient service TO
your country. and prove that you are fired with
noble ambition in the noblesi cause.
Third-Take a serious thought for yourself

PROCLAMATION,

Gratitude to Almighty God for many mercies
through another year, and the observance Of an
honored custom, call for day of devout thanks
giving from the people Of this State
Though our country is suffering from the hor.
rors of civil war, brought upon it through the
wickedness and perverseness of man, and its
advancement TO greatness, power and general
prosperity has thereby been retarded. aud many
brave souls who have entered have fnlen in the
unnatural strife aud by their fall shrouded many
households in funereal gloom, still, through all
these calamities Gods blessings are visible,
marked and unmistakabe- lie has blessed us
with sunshine and rain, lie has bountiiully filled
our garners with the fruits Of the earth, and lie
has spared us from the dread ravages OF pesti-
leuce. For his mercies il becomes us to thank
Him, and for our nficions to offer prayer that
they may he removed.
Therefore, |, William Burton, Governor Of the
State Of Delaware do appoint

Almighty God aud recommend that the people
of this State, absainng from oil needless secu-
lar employment, on that day assemble in their
respective places of worship and unite in fer.
vent expressions of gratitude to Him from whom
all blessings flow, aud to whom only we can
with confidence appeal for restoration of peace
to our beloved country.
