The Truth Told.

"There has never been a time from
the day Washington was inaugurated
first President of the United States, when
the rights of the Southern States stood
'firmer under the laws of the land than
they do now; there never was time
when they had not as good cause for Dis
union as they have to-day"
The Slavery question is a mere excuse.
The election of Mr., Lincoln is a mere
pretext The present Secession move
'ment is the result of an enormous con
'spiraey formed by the leaders of the
Southern Confederacy more than twelve
months ago. ."-Steplta 4. Doagia'

The President Of the United States, having,

Mayors PRocLAMArIoN The citizens OF
Wilmington will doubtless feel proud OF The pa
triotic action taken by our esteemed Chief Ma
gistrate, Mayor Gilpin, in issuing his Proelama-
tion in accordance with the popular feeling, aud
as suggested by the President Of the United
States. 1t is refreshing to know, that, While
the pea of the State Executive refuses to write
even an invitation to the people of the State to
call upon God for deliverauce from domestic
calamity, the Mayor of Wilmington, recognising
the desires Of loyal people, nobly steps forth
and anticipates them by his patriotic Proclama-
tion. Such is the difference between an oper
friend Of the country and n secret enemy.

Of those true men come forward to sustain ind
perpetuate the government reared and nuriured
by their blood, their talents, and the labors OF
their well-spcnt lives. We trust the people
generally will continue the work thus auspi-
ciously begun, and literally respond 10 the call
Of the country, by promptly subscribing to the
loan. Delaware has within its borders an abun-
dance of wealth that might, without the slight
est inconvenience, be converted into Treasury
notes, and thus be made available to the govern
ment in suppressing this vile rebellion Thus
far most of the Loau taken in this city has been
by persons in moderate circumstances. This
should not, must not be. The Golfers Of the
rich must be opened at the call of patriotism
aud liberty, and made to minister to the JUS
wants OF the country in its present trying ex
igency While the poor aud humble march ior-
