DOVER, September 1862.
In the Times of the Il th ult., see
with pleasure, that you pay your respects TO those
traitors in midst, who huted from the Prcsbyc-
rian church ON the 3lst day of August because the
PASTOR of that church, in his prayer, peloned the
throne of the Most High for blessings ON those who
were fighting the battles of the Union against treason
and for the salvation and preservation of beloved
country. You do not give tho names or antecedents
of those persons. Doubtless it is we'll not 10 publish
shs names of traitors in loyal journals lest they be
handed down to future generations, and their dis
grace and infamy attach to their posterity
But the neglect to give their antecedents is
omission upon your part-unintentOnal of course
which propose 10 supply.
The name of one of these boilers was repeatedly
spoken of, as a candidate for nomination for Rep
resentatve in Congress by the Reasonable Breckn-
Tidge-LocOfoco party of Delaware and i'll the pub
lished proceedings of the convention see his
mentioned, having been brought before that body.
/ am informed this boter asserted to of the
other members of the aforesaid church, that two
thirds ofthe membership and half of Kent count
prayed for the of the Southern Confederacy
Of course this genteman-if gentility and treason
at III compatible-is a member, and high in the
estimation and confidence of the REASONABLE
Breckenridge Locofoco party of Delaware; else why
should he have been presented competitor for
the hOnOrs conferred upon his confrere William
