opinion that if they get in power peace will
soon be declared by compromise to let
them go. Men of Delaware, we know as a
mass you do not want dissolution of this
Onlon You do not want one star or one
stripe erased from our glorious old flag
Inc leaders of your party have again and
again declared that they preferred dissolution
to making the South observe, obey and re-
spect our laws. Under these circumstances
1t IS the duty of all patriotic citizens to dis
regard former party affiliations and vote
only in direct opposition to the party of
dlsloyalty, which they can only do by vote
ing the Union ticket, every man on which
is earnestly in favor of the State and Nation
al Administrations, and firmly determined
on the vigorous prosecution of the war to
successful completion.
Every candidate on the Democratic ticket, |
should be viewed with suspicion, as the
course OF the party is clearly disloyal and its
object is to build up formidable opposition
to the government in Congress itself. where
the war policy may be tettered by the pas
sage of unfriendly Legislation, and by the
refusal to pass the requisite appropriation
bills for the service of the government in
this contest.
We say then vote the Union ticket right
straight through. Every man OH it is
worthy Of your support. VIM. Cannon the
candidate for Governor has been long
prominent man for the position for which
he is candidate, and, in Legislative expe- t
rlence, business tact and personal integrity j
is every way qualified for it. t
Hon. Geo. P. Fisher, your present able
representative in Congress, again claims i

plnlons, cannot represent loval sentiment t,
existing in Delaware. Mr. Fisher has p
