he found the Union atmosphere of Phila-
delphia was uncongenial to him. He is an
avowed secessionist and pro-slavery man.
With Smthers as their standard bearer,
the Union people of Delaware can put a
final extinguisher upon Charles Brown"
The New York Tribune saysi
"The Unconditional Unonists of the State
Ct Delaware, held very large and enthuA
siastic Convention, at Dover on the 7th
inst, and nominated Nathaniel b. Smith
ers for Congress. Mr.. Smithers was
leading membeRIQf4 the Chicago Conven-
ton, and is one OF the ablest and best men
in the State, is now its Secretary ofState,
and has been foremost in every good work.
His opponent is Charles Brown, late of
Philadelphia, where he was repeatedly
chosen to Congress, figuring in the House
as the meanest and most groveling Dough-
face that ever disgraced Free State. The
slavish Democracy of Philadelphia at
length grew sick Of him, and being drop
ped by them, he moved southwark inquest
of constituency who wanted represen-
tative of his sort. He has not gone far
enough yet by considerable, and must keep
moving"
We think Mr.. Brown can hardly stand
the pressure of the Philadelphia Sunday
Despatch, and it would be advisable, after
reading the following article. that he. should
go home and "pass the remainder of his
days in peaeefalaafntuds.g- The Dispatch
