Journal:
DEAR SIR: Tuesday last was day long
to be remembered as day on which as
loyal people as ever owed allegiance TO a
government, were struck down by the iron
hand of despotic power. earned bands |
were around every election poll in the |
state Aged men, whose gray hairs were
no protection, were charged on with brst
ling bayonets, and driven from the polls,
for nothing but attempting frceman's
privilege-the right of voting. Oh, God,
and this in land Of Washin ton, Jefferson
and jackson Now, l will explain why
the military power was used. The Admin
istration knew the Democratic party could
carry the State by 1900 majority 1t
being a slave State, it was determined it
should not be done, and by carrying the
State for the Abolition party, make it ap-
pear to the North tn at Delaware is in favor
Of emancipation and another great OBJ
ject was to defeat Hon. j A Bayard for
the United States Senate. In the above
objects they have been disappointed, as it
is certain the Democrats have ma jority
of the Legislature. which will prevent the
above scheme. The military used for the
purpose of depriving American citizens of
the right of voting, was the Fourth Regi.
mcnt of Delaware Volunteers, under Col.
Grimshaw, one of the Greatest Abolitionists
in the State the First Regiment of Della
ware Cavalry, under Representative (also
Col) Fisher; the Delaware Battery, also
under an Abolitionst, aud three regiments
from Baltimore, under Major General
Wool who accompanied the troops himself,
be it said to his shame, and that on the
same day that his State New York, put
its seal of condemnation upon the usurped
power of the Administration and in such
q voice as to shake it to it, very foundation.
l say let the name Of Wool, who allowed
himself to be tool in the hands of the
worst men who ever abused power, be
execratod in all coming time.
| send you this as hurried statement Of
how the Democratic party was used here.
Knowing that our population was too small
to maintain the rights guaranteed to us
under the Constitution, you can see we
were nothing but slaves under despotic and
usurped power. would like you to write
something from this, and let the world see
the wrong committed to a sovereign State.
l am, dear sir, constant reader of your
popular journal. j.
New CASTLE DELAWARE,
November Gth 1862.
Mr.. Eiitor by the official vote, low
in, of our State we find that we have lost
our candidate for Governor; but have
these substantial results. We have elected
Mr.. Temple by a majority of 26. We
have IA Democrats in the lower House,
and in the Senate, against of the Re-
publcans in the lower House, and in the
Senate, which nsures the return of that
pure statesman, James A. Bayard.
There were $4,000 soldiers sent from
Baltimore up the Nanticoke river; they
, were disembarked at Seaford, and were
placed at all the polls, and there were
many of our men SO much inundated that
they did not come to the election, which
has reduced our majority in Sussex from
500 (what we could have rcccived) tc
|. about 25 to 50. These are facts. Sent
