Of the enemy, was overwhelmed and nstonish-

were current rumoTs in Delaware that dis
gracefully left the field at the first collision of
the contending forces

received, withdrew from his encompassng

But SO long ms | enjoy the confidence and es-
TEEN of you and the brave men under you, who
have stood by me through every Islander and re-
proach, shall go on in the discharge of my duty

III times IKE the present every man |
shouiu DO held responsible for his acts. The
u'e oil tne nation is threatened, and upon
Tue actions OF the people, individually and
eohectiVely, depend the result OF the mo-
mentous issues involved. 1t may be well
then TO inquire who is responsible for the
outbreaks which have recently occurred in
New York and other sections of the coun-
try Was it spontaneous outburst of the
people or was it preconcerted AFFAIR."
NO one who has watched the progress OF
political affairs during the last few years,
eau Tor moment doubt that it is the legi-
Innate ouspriug OIL the teachings oil the
,sauels o' Tue so-calied Democratic party.
ue" 'ne Enrolilng Act was under conslde-
ration III congress- Messrs. Bayard' Nallan-
ulBnaui' Nornees, CoX, fendleton and all the
'eauing democratic members, urged as their
excuse 'or opposition to IT, that 1t was un-
eous'ltuuonal. Ihelr presses took up their
declarations and re-eehoed them far and
VIDE, and day after day ever since we have
been treated to homllles OF similar strain.
lhelr Conventions have adopted resolutions
10 the same effect public meetings have
been called for the ayowed object of ex-
pressing the sentiments OF the party to be
against the prosecution OF the war for the
union' and the enforcement OF the Enroll
ing Act AT these assemblages inhamma-
tory speeches have been made by reckless,
unprlnclpled politicians, and the people ex-
nor'ed 10 arm themselves and oppose the
enforcement oil the laws oil the land. Is it
not natural then to suppose that teachings
oil mat character would produce just such
consequences as have followed?
Opposition to the law on account of the
three hundred dollar clause, is base
subterfuge resorted to in order to cover
their real design. Their real object is to
prevent the government from procuring
men to prosecute the war. They are in
