From the Washington Gazette.

Whether the contest would have been a hotly
contested one or not had the orders of Schenck
not been issued, not prepared to say.
Until these orders were promulgated bow ever,
we thought the chances favorable to the election
of Mr.. Brown. We were informed that Kent and
Sussex, notwithstanding all the exertions of NJ
Smirher's friends, would have given Mr.. Brown
larger majority than they gave to Mr.. Temple;
and we were induced to believe that New Castle
county would have given Mr. Smithers a much
less majority than it gave to Mr.. Temple. The
Republicans themselves, as the election approach
ed, doubtless began to fear the defeat Of their
candidate; hence the clamor which raised the
two or three DAYS prior TO the issuing Of the mill
tary orders, for such action Nor did they become
confident until these orders were published.
On Monday evening we understood some of
the Democrats became possessed OF the order Of
Gen. S:henck. 1t was read in their association,
aud after some consideration it was resolved that
Mr. Brown should not actively proceed further
with the canvass; accordingly several gentlemen
were sent to Christiana, Md, where he was ad
vertised to speak that evening, with directions to
tender a suitable apology for the absence of the
Democratic candidate This was done. the gen
tIemen finding large meeting there assembled.
meeting of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee and the delegates to the last Democratic
State Convention, and such gentlemen OF the
party as cOulu De HOt tOreluSr, WAS duiiOuHCcu W
be held a. New Castle ON Tuesday. The con-
clusion arrived at by that meeting will be found
in an address in our columns this morning This
address, in connection with the orders of Gen.
Schenck, were printed and circulated through
the county and State on Wednesday morning.
On Thursday morning, "A large body of troops
landed at the foot OF Fourth street-loaded, fixed
bayonets and marched up Market street, stacked
their arms in the City Hall yard. aud were dis
tributed in squads at the various polls. So far as
we have heard, the men conducted themselves
with propriety.
OF course, cannot at this writing tell what
will be the ultimate effect of the address issued
by the Democrats. Its present effect will be to
give Mr.. Smithers almost the unanimous vote. as
so far as we have heard. very few Democrats will
attend the polls.
The vote in the CITY, on Thursday. was l .61e.
Mr.. Smithers received the whole vote. Mr..
Brown did not receive vote, SO far as we have

a correspondents writing us from one Of the
Southern counties in the State, makes the fol
lowing suggestions as to the position the Demo-
cratic party should occupy in the approaching po-
litical canvass:
The Democracy of this county are thoroughly
organized and ready for the approaching contest.
We don't want any pandering TO mere success.
We must plant ourselves ON platform with just
ice and right glowing in every line, and then
abide the consequence whatever il may be- Tits
the duty of the Democracy to save the country,
and. to accomplish this great purpose. we must
oppose the military revolution of the party in
power, as well as the revolution at the South.
Gen Mansfield declared in his speech At this
place few days ago, that "the Constitution as
it il, and the Union as 1t was. made him smile. %
that call revolutions had tendency TO change
existing insttutions:" if be is right. then where
is the test of loyalty. il we have constitution
Who can be guilty Of treason, If we have a revo-

intimate. and what are we fighting for? have
always thought We we're fighting under an organ

Let Us not be timid because bad men denounce
us as traitoe. Vice ever wars against virtue. We
must meet the issues In the approaching contest
like men, and save the government even IL Mr..

ecrsfions of an indignant people determined TO
BE free.

Democratic state COnventiOn-ActIon
OF the Democratic state Central
Committee.

The Democratic State Central Committee met
Wednesday The meeting was fully attended, and
after free interchange of views and consultation
with prominent members OF the party from all
sections of the State, il was unanimously resolved
by the Committee TO hold State Nominating
Convention Immediately after the meeting of the
next Democratic National Convention. 1t is
supposed that the latter body will be assembled
in May next, or early in June. resolution was
adopted by the Committee, requesting the
Democratic National Committee to call
National Democratic Convention at as early a
day as practicabIe-not later than May June.
The following resolution was unanimously
adopted, providing for the selection of delegates
to the Democratic National Convention:
ResoIued. That this committee respectfully and
earnestly recommend the Democrats in the sew
eral Congressional Districts of the State of lnd-
ana to meet in their respective Districts on the
9Th day of January. 1864, or soon thereafter
as may be convenient, for the purpose of appoint
ing in each two delegates and two alternates to
the National Democratic Convention.
1t is hoped that this recommendation of the
Committee will meet with the concurrence and
response of the Democracy of the Congressional
Districts. and that the day made memorable in
the history of the nation by the Hero of New
Orleans will be thus commemorated by those
who respect his patriotism. his unselfish devo-
ton to the Union, bis gallant services in be-
half of his country and the political principles
he so earnestly maintained as necessary 10 the
perpetuation of free, constitutional govern
ment
The Committee appointed an Executive Board,
consisting of FIVE members, viz: Messrs. J. J.
BINGHAM. J. S. ArHoS, AoUILLA JONES. r. H.
HALL and JAMES B. RYAN, to aid in developing a
more efficient organization of the Democratic
party Of Indiana and in the dissemination of
sound political principles.
The Committee adjourned to meet on the 22d
day of February next.
