ter1ty, do ordain and establish this Cos,stitu-
taon for the United States of America.
This Constitution of the United States,
thus adopted in September 1881, in a
Convention elected by the people--was
submitted for ratifcation--not to the states,
but to the people of the United States
who in conventions assembled in their
several states, adopted it; and this was
the work of the people of the United States
just as fully and fairly, as if the people
OF all the)states had assembled in one great
campus, or field, and voted directly for
the adoption of that glorious Charter of
our liberties. (
These are the distinguishing differences
between the Union Party, and the Demo-
cratic Party. We believe, that no right
minded man can fail to see upon full
view of this subject; and Of the Constitu-
ton of the United States-that the United
States is Sovereign Nation-and has a
right to suppress the rebellion, and punish
the traitors.

On the 10Th inst, at his residence in
Delaware, the political career of poor
Charlie Brown, aged about 100.
OBITUARY,-Alas poor Charles we
knew him we'll. He sprouted up in the
prime of youth with promised career OF
Immortality; but was cut down in his adj
vanced age, covered with the SCOT and
scorn of the accursed crew of Copperhead-
ism. His remains will be placed in the
1mder-bor and conveyed to the Potters-
field, there to be deposited with political
infimy, and 50 deep as never again to be
aroused by the trumpet of the Political res
urrectionst, or by the cries of "nigyer
equality and abolitionism."
1t is hoped that due respect will be paid
to this old-time honored viper and that a due
portion Of his friends will attend his Last
sad departure from the public arena. The
band engaged for the occasion will play
the Rogue's March as the funeral dirge.
One OF the Rev. Senators from the State
of Delaware will preach the Grafton on the
occasion, in whose remarks we hope the
mystery will be explained of them one
hundred and ninety dollars. Let his cpl
taph be plainly marked, so that the passers-
by can be enlightened as to who lies be-
meath the cold slab. ilta 81 q,

Tread lightly for fear you mash him."

never do for all the Union men of Delaware
to leave their homes and join the army, al
though we believe they would all of them like
to be here with us---and we believe what
Union men are left home, will keep Copper
headism trampled beneath their feet. We
also wish to explain to the satisfaction of
those at home, the political feeling of the sol-
diers that belong to this Regiment. Though
we are here in front of the greatest opposing
enemy, in numbers, that ever fought BATTLE
and as every one knows the suiferings and
hardshps we have to endure !; withal, when
called upon to .fo11card, march, we al. ready
and willing. Now as have but a lew re-
marks to make upon the subject, will say,
SHOULD we not get home TO support Mr.. Smith
ers, as is expected by al we will only fight
the harder in the coming battles, and every
shot will court for Smithers. 1t makes as
proud to know that those who would not be
entitled to vote at the ballot-box can have
from forty to sixty at the front, and every
vote is polled for the Union. We can and
will support Mr.. Smithers if we have to do it
as we did at Gettysburg, on the Sd of July,
1868, and at Bristow Station, on the 18th Of
October, 1868. la.a
The following are the changes that have
occurred in the First Delaware Regiment,
during the past week; @

ant Colonel of the Regiment, vice Lieutenant

FOREIGN RECOGNITION OF THE
O. s. A

Many of our friends have been amusing
themselves by giving construction to, and
fairly translating the cabalistic letters G,

again, "Carsea Secession association" and
others, " Coatemptible Slavc Aristocracy;"
but the Rebels in arms--and their Cop
perhead allies Of the North, translate these
significant letters-'' Confederate States of
A0'eraca.o With this Euphonious Title,
and high-sounding term Of Natioaality ).
" Heaven save the mark J" the slave oil
garchs of the Rebel States, have sent GER
tain AnaJassddors!!! to the Courts of Eng
land and France, to obtain from those
Governments a recognition OF these " Con-
federate States of America" as sovereign
ties, de facto. Johnny Bull and Johnny
Crippeau seemed willing enough, at first
to lend listening ear to the opportunities
of these Confederates, and have actually
recognized them as-Belligerdntsi And
old Mr.. Bull has rendered them "radtertol
aid and comfort" in furnishing them with
money, and munitions of war, and proba-
bly, but for the virtuous feelings of the
good Queen Victoria-all honor to the vir-
tues of good Queen Victoria--and the
stubborn feelings of attachment of the
sturdy working men, and middle classes
of England, who hold in grateful remem-
brance the timely assistance rendered by
the loyal men of the North to the suffering
operatives Of England, and who, be it OBJ
served, are staunch friends of Emancipa.
ton and human Liberty--but for these
considerations, and some others of eqnal
weight, very probably England and France
would have formally recognized these Con.
federate States of America.
These "othtr considerations of equal
weight" are doubtless. That the Federal
Government has shown a determined reso-
luton, and an ability to crush this rebel.
lion; that we have 100000 of men in the
field; and can command 100000 more
men for this glorious and patriotic work;
and last, though not least, that Russia is
ready to strike hands with the Govern
ment of the United States, and to make
an alliance, o6snsive and defensiye Nth as
We congratulate the Loyal men, of the
Loyal States, therefore, that this appre.
hended danger of recognition of the G. s.
A. by England and France, has passed
away-and forever. We doubt not, that
the Loyal United States Government can
not only crush out this bellion-but
could whip England and France too-and
all at the same time; but we would rather
postpone settlements with these transat-
lantic friends! till future day.

WASHINGTON, D, g., Nov. Is, 1868.
The authorization which was granted nv
the French Government to Mr. Arman for

Information of that design was obtained by

The French Government promptly revoked
the authorization when that information was
