TREASON REBUKED AND LOYALTY
TRIuNnE1EANr.

The people Of Wilmington spoke-as
we knew they wonld-most decidedly and
unequiyocaly. through the ballot box on
last Tuesday Locoiocoism in its natur-
al state, e,-that is, with all its corruption
and foul treason hanging about it-had
the daring impudencc to put into the
field ticket in opposition to the Union
nominations for city officers, and added to
their foolish act IN insult 10 the patriotic
sentiment Of the city, by calling their
bantling b" a loyal Union ticket" hoping
thereby to deceive the unwury into an
endorsement of their secret schemes and
plots against the government But in
this they signally failed, for although
but small vote was polled-a more com.
plete and hearty foggingno party or fac
tion ever received before in Delaware. -
The people have shown that they will not
trust men who array themselves in opno-
stion to the government Of the Republic,
no matter how respectable or cstimable
they may he in their social or private re-
lations. They have declared by their
votes, that, to enjoy popular confidence in
these times of peril TO our country, men
must be straightoul, clean, unmistakabe
Union men. That when the liberties oI
the nation are in danger, an equivocal oil
doubtful position is sympathy with trea
son, and those who stand arraycd against
the efforts Of the government to restore
the Union-no matter under what part,
name they may class themsclycs-mus
and will be suspected, rcbuked and dis
graced.
All honor to the loyalty Of the peopl
of Wilmington. They have shown b
their work of Tuesday that they mean t
be true to the country in its hours of ad
versity as well as in its days of prospect
ty and that neither parties, persona
friendships nor any other consideration
