WOODS DEFEAT.

Friends at distance will be surprised on
learning that Wood is at the foot of the poll
for Mayor when each of the adverse parties
regarded and fought him as their chief antagO-
mist. Two years ago, in just such fight,
Wood was first Tammany second, and Opdyke

Wood brings up the rear. The explanation is

hardly have made. Had he simply held his
tongue, avoided crowds. and confined himself
to quiet work, we believe he would have been

THE PRESIDENT AND GEN. CAM
ERON.

The readers Of our Daily Of yesterday morn.
ing may have been surprised to find no allu
sion to the topic which excited most interest
at the Federal tropols--namely, tho re-
ported disagreement between the President and
the Secretary of War with regard to that por-
ton of the Report of the latter which treats OF
the use to be made of the slaves of rebels.
Other journals had information on this subject;
we had none; simply because, while their Wash
ington dispatches respecting it were allowed to
come through in due course, ours was sup
pressed by the Government censor in the Wash
ington telegraph Office. Having received it by
mail, we give it now as part of the history Of
the times, simply remarking that We do not UNI
derstand that it was suppressed for lack OF
truth, but rather for excess of it.
TIE SUPPRESSED DISPATCH.
WAsHIEGTos, Dec. 2, 1861.
The call of the roll had scarcely ended in the
House, when the temper of the People was strkpgly
manifested by their Representatives fastening with
out delaying moment for Presidential or other
message to pass resolution emancipating the slaves
of rebels within the military jurisdictions. Before
the vote upon il was recorded, painful rumor per-
yaded tho Hall that tho President had takou open

correspondent of The Standard, writing
from Washington, gives the following as the
most recent declaration of Mr.. Seward in re-
lation to the war, which, he intimates, he
heard from his own lips:
1.-THE effective part" be said. OF the war on side Il
There be more fghpg-but The less Of IL e
seedy pence. Every battle saved-wich be
hoDeraby avoided-is gain the Of the Union The
real is II ecspe danger in foreign affairs

This is as orocular as the brief speech Of Mr..
Seward in acknowledging a serenade on Mon
day evening, that 4" III two days, the country
would rejoice in great news" Ii the Secre-
tary is truly represented by both these repor-
ters, then the great news would seem to be
peace and not battle, as battles now stand
in the way Of "speedy peace" We do Mt
pretend, however, to explain the words but
merely to report them.

We give elsewhere, to-day the proceedings Of
the meeting at the City Hall on Tuesday night.
1t was very spirited affair, and numerOusly at
tended, notwithstanding the cold, rainy, cheer

We canuot but regret the introduction of the
last resolutivn in reference to Senator Dayard.
1t seems 10 us TO have been il.tned and Ill
advised just now. The country is in the fret
stages OF a war such as ii has never before ca
perienced, and from which God only knows how
We are to escape All the wisdom, pruieace
and patriotism Of the land will he required to
extricate it from its perils with honor and
safety therefore, party runcor and prejudice
should be carefully avoided in all our delbera-
tions having the good of the country in view,
hence we deprecnte the passage Of the resolution
in question. Whatever may be the procliyiiies
of Mr.. DayaId towards secession, we know that
a very large number Of his personal aud political
friends are strongly in favor of sustaining the
General Government aud are willing to render
any assistance aud cooperation in their power
for the protection Of the Union aud the Consttn-
ton. 1t is unwise therefore, to create a leeine

dent suggestion or action, on the part Of those
who differ politically with he adherenis of Seua.
tor Bayard, cause them to flag in their Jetermi.
nation to unite with all patriotic men OF what
ever party in standing by the Union at every
hazard. 1t is enough to know that Mr. Bayar.
stands almost alone upon III, question of seces
sion in Delaware, and that while those who nc
with him III party matters admire his taleuls nm,
esteem him tor bis Jealous advocacy Of the
peculiar political principles, they will not so ia
forget their duty to their country rs to assis
him in destroying 1t for the purpose Of gratifying
the rebellious spirt of treason. Let US decii
this question Of Union first, and then, fallinl
back upon our several party platforms aud pin
ciples, we can settle the acc ,unt with MIR
Bayari at the proper time, and in IA manner en-
tirely satisfactory to those who disagree with hi
present views Of national affairs.
Delaware State journal and statesman., 1861-04-19

and the world at large, that we have govern.
ment. Not mere form, to be acquiesrd in
when it suits our convenience so to do; but a
live, active. energetic government. not only able
to protect itself against foreign foe, but also to
defend itself against treason at home.
Our " Great and General Court iourned
last week after session of ninety-nine days.
The members thereof being very clrtful not to
run over the one hnAdred days, US their pay is
limited at $500 for the session
They should nothave been in quito 80 much of
hurry as 'pidntDi" time has not come yet mud
their presence will be soon needed again, in the
present state of afairs, aud there is already
talk OF an extra session.
Now the question is, what will Delaware do in
the present exgency,! We, Of her sons scatter.
ed abroad. feel an anxiety in her welfare. Sad
rad indeed will be the day for the lule "Da-
mond State" should the present strife end in
permanent disuniou, paced as she is on the very
border Of freedom aud slavery. Let her he true
to her country, true to herself, true to humanity
aud freedom, and she will come out of the fiery

Vaccinations Of auti slavery agitations, and
where serious loses have been incurred by the
escape of slaves, there is no apprehension TINT
President Lincoln or the Republican pnrty In
tend 10 wage a war Of determination against the
domestic institution of the South. The reason
assigned for secession is mere pretext The
real cause may be found 10 the greedy ambition
OF Southern pol ticians who, relying on the pre-
JUDGES and jealouses Of their people against the
North, and taking advantage OF the closing weeks
Of an imbecile administration, with traiio rs u
the Cabinet and in Congress, to aid their designs
have hurried seven States into rebellion and war
against tue Federal Government. The doctrine
OF secession and dsunion had It's origin in South
Carolina over thirty years ago, and to-day the
citizens Of that pestierous little State boast that
thy have at last succeeded 10 realizing their
hopes by establishing n new Confederacy. How
much the traitors have been aided and eucour-
aged by orators, editors and politicians, who,
either ignorantly or wlfally, have misrepresent,
ed the North, and the principles aud objects of
the Republican party, it would not be difficult
to estimate. Without such aid aud encourage

THE UNION FEELINo IN laurel

The Union feeling every where III our State is
in the ascendant. Treason finds but few com
fcrters outside Of Wilmington, and even here they
are growing weak, feeble and contemplate. Asa
class they are not the best citizens, albeit we
hear Of person now and then Of whom we might
have expected more nationality offeeng than to
sympathise with traitors. But, as we observed
before, they are few in number and fast sinking
in popular estimation.
A writer in the Georgetown M,sseHger, from
Laurel, says that the people of that town are
sound for the Union, and that the only secession
list there Of any consequence is u preacher. The
following are bis words =
''You may rely upon one thing however, that is
we give no countenance to secession. We are
sound to the core on the Union question, with
the exception ola certain Gay preacher, who has
become SO religious that he cannot pray for those
in authority. One consolation is left us, how
ever, viz the prayers of this cleric are not
essential to the salvation of tue country"
