Facts vs.. the Delawarean.

The DeIOW0reGn is very busiIy a. work in
it's efforts to convince the people of Delaware
that the breckenridge party Of this State is the
real Constitutional Union party, and that all
others are sbams.
An article in the last issue Of that paper
complains that the opposition TO the Democrat
ic party in this State brands all opposed to the
present National Administration with being
traitors of the blacklist dye. The editor tn nks
a refutaton Of this wholesale calumny unne.
cessary, but, al the same time, is of opinion
that. ts show how such charges can be met
may not be amiss. An editorial follows which,
for gross misrepresentation Of facts, we have
seldom seen equaed in the rebel press. Bu.
this may not be so surprising when we consider
that the conductors of that paper were raised
and taught 10 the same school as those most
excellent contemporaries of the South.
One point which he says they (the opposi.
tion) are striving to fix upon the public mind
is, that the Democrats made great efforts to
have a convention called for the purpose of car.
rying the State out Of the Union. Instead o
doing this he claims for the Democrats, thai
they were the first to fix the adopted policy o
the State. and in proof of this cites the resou
lion offered by Dr. John A. Moore, Democrat
| from Duck Greek Hd. in the Legislature. i'm.
medistely after the speech Of Mr.. DlckeTson
the Commissioner from Mississippi; said resO
luton dissp pproving of secession as a remedy fO
the existing evils However much the Della
,oareGn may have approved Of this resolution
we say, and say it knowingly, that the leading
Democrats in this Hundred (and it is the Hun
dred which DR.. Moore represented) did not ap
prove Of il, and abused DR.. Moore for offering
it. We, ourselpeS, heard DemOcrts in thi
t0wn brand DR.. Moore ioith being no bette
than a Black Republican. and deprecated eve
having voted for him because he offered tn
resolution. We. ourselves, heard DR.. Moor
say he wGs called Black Republican by som
Of his constituents. for merely offering UniOi
resolution in the House of Representatives.
These are facts, and go far TO prove that thi
resolution, which the DeIGDerean makes q
much Of was not endorsed by a majority OF Ih
Breckinridge Democracy. but strongly disar
proved of BY them. If we aye to accept the Dem
ocrats OF this Hundred as a fair index 10 ihos
OF the State. Farther, we think that If the ed
itor of the DeIGpGrean will refer To- the Legis

THE SWORD OF THE LORD AND GIDEON
The following among the resolutions passed
at the General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church, shows the lightin which they view the
efforts ofthe Government to put down the rebel
lion by the sword. There are none so Mortified
at the wickedness of ministers in supporting
this war. as those who hsLitually curse
them and despise sacred things:
ResOLUed, That, inasmuch as we believe.
according TO our form of government, that God,

there is, in the judgement Ofthe Assembly, no

the defence of aud perpetuiiy OF The govern.

1t would not prove that they were Union men.

not consider the Union worth fighting for,
while the resolutions passed at the Others were
expressive OF much devotion to the Union, and

The comparative proximity OF our own

irine observations Of IN, telescope. Since
the completion Of the grea, instrument of

observed il. and its appearance, ~ scen by

ScoresSy:
lit apparel like vas, globe OF molten
silver. and every ohyrct Of the extent Of ono
hundred yards, was quite visible. Eiidcc..
therefore, OF the .iri Of York Minister. or
the ruins OF Whiiby Abbey, might he easily
perceived II they bad existed. But thero
W.. no appearance Of anything Of tia, na-
,uTc; neither wa' there an indication OF
anything like water, or Of an atmosphere.
There was a vast numberSf extinct volei.
noes. several mile. In breadth. Through
one Of them was line IN continuance OF
about one hundred and iiry mile. in length.
which ran in straight direction like .
railway. Thegcnsral appearance, however.
was like one vas, ruin OF na,uro; and many
Of the pieces Of rock. driven out OF the vol.
canoes. appeared to bo laid at various DIS
unees."
We have here strong, maya complete

discoveries Of the continental philosophers

larger scale, special parts Of the surface.
The general character Of the moon J. highly
irregular, marked by huge mountains and
pits. the heigh, and depth OF which have
been accurately measured. About one
third part only Of the surface presented to
US is comparatively regular. this regular
portion being plain. and not seas, " Was
formerly imagined. There is no appearancs
Of water; and although astronomers are d..
yided IN opinion about the existence Of an
atmosphere. We are apt to conclude that the
moon Is not in its presen, state adapted Tor
the abode Of organized beings. With 70.

them are isolated peaks. such rs Tenerids;
mountain ranges, OF which some reach
great elevation, are also present in its sur.
