Yet We are in danger of lo,ing all our

we might elect four or five of them if

IL this cannot be, wo trust every Union

Governor, William Cannon, and reolect their
present able and faithful Representative in
Congress, George +. Fisher but the Legsla-
turc is more doubtful, as n majority of the
voters, residing in Newcastle County, elect but
third of the legislature, leaving two-thlrds
to the hitherto Pro-Slayery Counties OF Kent
and Sussex, one OF which must now be carried
by the Unionlsts to secure a U. 5. Senator in
place Of james a. Bayard. We hope and
only hope that one OF these Counties may now
be carried, in spite of the abseace OF the
Volunteers, who arc all Union. Delaware is

language Of Gen. Wadsworth from tho first

Horatio Seymour has held precisely opposite
language. He has sought to maintain the
Union by exacting CONCESSIONS not of the dis

Republicans should surrender their principles
