BELIEVE that ten years will not pass be-
fore the people Of the South will erect mon
umonts to commemorate their delivorance
from the blight Of Slavery.
They will verify the truth oil what Homer
declared two thousand six hundred years
ago, when he said that
"whn'ever day makes man slave
Takes halfh worth away"
/, for one, envy not the man, who, to save
a nations life will not say Perish Slavery
perish all that stands in the way of main
tanning the freedom and independence that
our Union was intended to secure.
The above is taken from recent noble
letter of Peter Cooper, ESP, of New York,
10 President Lincoln, on the expediency OF
arming The slaves Of rebels to fight for theil
pcrmatcnt liberty and the salvation of the
Republic. 1t sounds very strangely and
seems foolish prophecy. But who will
undertake to prove that it will not be full
filled We have seen during the two and t
half years Of this shareholders war grealel
changes than this. IL any man had saiC
publicly, ten years ago, that Benjamin +
Butler, or Daniel ). Dickinson, or Andrew
johnson would, within decade, publicl,
advocate before the people of these State
the very doctrines then so obnoxious il
Phillips and Garrison, he would have beef
sent to an insane asylum and yet we hav

THIS WAX for the Government and all
our noble free institutions will go on until
" the last armed foe expires" So much
IS settled and made sure. 1t remains for
us to say whether Delaware, true to her
honored history, shall have and hold an
honorable place among the loyal States
Our brave andnoble soldier-citizens, who,
on the field of strife have 50 CALAMITY re-
presented US, are all deeply interested in
the decision to be made at the ballot-box.
1t is not doubtful what their verdict will
be, Though not quite all Democrats
they are all loyal Union-loving men.

EVERY DEFEAT of the Union party
helps to strengthen the hands of the trail
tors in arms. Mr.. Brown the candidate
of the Copperheads in Delaware, is an
ayowed opponent Of the war. His cleo
ton would cause as much rejoicing at
Richmond, as victory over the Federal
arms Remember this, freemen of Della
ware, when you go TO the polls on Thurs
day next Recollect too, the rebels boast
that they will continue the war until the
Democrats are restored to power, when
their bastard government will be recog-
nized If you would elect man who is in
favor Of an honorable peace, based on a
restoration of the Union, vote for Ma
THANIE1 b. SMlTHERs. Remember too,
the moral effect the election of Mr.. Brown
would have not only on the interests Of
the government, but our own State, and
let your votes be given for an honorable
peace and undivided country This, we
conceive to be the duty of every man who
claims to be a good citizen.

DELAWARE STATE JOURNAL AND TUEsD

EVERY CITIZEN of Delaware who has
vote al the present election, should keep
in mind the duty which he owes to those
who are 10 live after him. We Of the
present generation may do well enough
To let the policy that has hitherto obtain
ed continue nut We owe something to
the iutare. we came into this heritage Of
slavery and have never known any other.
But we are under the most sacred obliga-
lions TO leave TO those who shall succeed
us, u heritage of freedom. We are bound
to ri,l our territory of this intolerable in
cnbus-un institution long since dead
MS to all practicable benefits, alive only as
TO the evils it can iuilict Iii Kidding
our State Of this body Of death, we are
ouIy acting in conformity TO the legiti-
mate measures of the national government
in putting down rebellion, and keeping
pace with our sister States in their grand
march to freedom and material and social
prosperity. Our little Commonwealth
has too long been under the control OF a
set of heartless demagogues, whose every
instinct has been with Southern slave
lords and oppressors. Fittingly indeed,
were they represented by the chief mag
nate, at Montgomery at the very hour
when armed rebels were striking down
the magesty of their government, and in
augurating bloody war which has al
ready drank up the life-blood Of quartz
Of Il million of our countrymen. On thu
10th day of this month of November, W
must pronounce the political death Of thi
spurious democracy whose heart is with re
bcllion, and we must leave to our success
sois Il legacy Of freedom and political vii
: tue. We must make sure of being iairl
represented in the popular branch Of Con
r gress, and as soon as time permits, W
u must place loyal and true men in the Ser
= ate in the room of those whose every eflol
!, has been made to aid the most foul an
II wicked plot against the life Of our gov
n ernment, that was ever recorded in til
o. annals Of history. Freemen and brotl
+ ers, this is the work we have to do.
