Gov. Seymour made similar effort in New
York recently, and was foied most signal

powerful arm of the general Government.
In both these instances the peopi-the

used by the enemies Of good government
to give aid aud comfort to the plotters Of
disunion. Let the people of Whining ton,
therefore, beware how they lend them

men may be in sympathy with what they
deem the necessity which has wrought this
seeming dissatisfaction in the result Of the

We do not believe that any very great
number of the Union men of Wilmington
are so overwhelmed in prejudice and per-
sonal antipathy TO the present nominees
as to cause them TO forget their duty to

into the hands of the Copperlead faction,
even indirectly-as they most assuredly
will-by running third ticket to-day in
opposition to the regular Union party

When every other slave State failed in
its fealty to the Constitution and laws
of the land, Delaware stood firm as a rock
