A HANDSOME AND VALUABLE PRE-.
SENT. WHO SHALL HAVE INA

In passing down Market street, yesterday,
we observed in the window of the store of our
friend Mr.. Il. Y. DeNormandie, one of the
finestand most complete china dinner sets we
have ever seen. A placard in the window
states that the setis to be voted orat the fair to
be held in the Institute Hall, for the benefit
of the Second Baptist Church, and is to be
presented to that pastor of this city receiving
the largest number of votes AS number
of our churches are accustomed about the
holidays TO give their pastors handsome
testi monials of their appreciation Of their
''works of faith and labors Of love" it oc-
Cured to us that this dinner set was just the
thing, that no church could make TO a pastor
more beautiful or enduring testimonial of
their esteem. Knowing that frequently dis
satisfaction has been given by the manner in
which voting for articles is conducted at
fairs, we took occasion to enquire OF Mr..
DeNormandie as 10 the modus operandi in
this case and we are satisfied that it must
commend itself to all as the very best method
OF doing such things. Any persons desiring
to vote will receive a card on which they
will write the name of the pastor for whom
they vote and the number of votes they take.
They will then enclose the money with the
card in an envelope, which they will seal
and then endorse. Then they report to the
person receiving the votes their name and
the number of votes they have taken. Theii
names and the number of votes will be re
corded but not the name of the person the,
voted for. The envelope will then be dc
posted in box, not to be opened until til,
last night of the Fair. 1t will be seen by
this, that no one, not even the person having
charge of the voting, can possibly know any
thing until the votes are counted. Mr.. De
Normandie is authorized to receive vote
now at his store. The votes are fit,
cents each We hope we shall hear of al
immediate movement in our different con
gregations to secure this china dinner set
Who shall have it.

THE GAME OLE nRAG.

1t is really amusing to witness the game of
hrag that our opponents are playing. They
boast of being able TO carry the State and
even New Castle County by large majority,
while at the same time they know they have
not ghost of chance of doing it, and are
trying to keep up the courage of their party
by such falsehoods. The people are desert
ing the Copperheads by scores in all the
counties, and the game of brag adopted by
the leaders is strong evidence of their weak
ness. We have the very best authority for
saying that if every Union man will do his
whole duty, that Riddle and McKim will be
triumphantly elected and that we will have
majority in both branches of the General
Assembly, the assertions of the Copperhead
press and orators tothe contrary notwith-
standing. Union men of Delaware stand
firm, and a glorious victory awaits you
Honest democrats desert the sinking ship
and come into the fold of the great national
Union party now, before the party to which
you are attached receives the terrible and
overwhelming defeat that awaits it.

The Democratic party used TO be opposed
to monopoies, But now few men in Della

of the party.
The knights and Barons and Earls and
Dukes OF England loaned hundreds of mil
lions OF dollars to the rebels; and they want
the Democrats to succeed that the rebel
debt may be paid
The Democracy have no more love for
the soldiers now than the Copperheads had
for them during the war. Then they were
denounced as 'Lncolin's pups;' and now
their votes are coveted, but they are not
deemed deserving of place on any of their
tickets.

holders of the Rebel Bonds, publishes II card

"My Policy Again Rejected.

The intelligence from West Virginia as TO

is of character sufficient to indicate the re-
election of Governor Boreman, the Radical

doubt that the other Radical candidates, b.
