Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1866-03-12

/ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 1It6nQ Whlt4I OIL tne
/ Delaware County Republican, thus noticed q
lecture delivered in Chester, on the 9Th inst,
| by our townsman, Thomas Roberts, Esquire
| IA NIeHY WI BURNS. Those OF our citizens
who were not at National Hall, on Tuesday
evening last, missed q rich treat. Mr.. Roberts,
the lecturer, is evidently an enthusiastically
siastic 10 his admiration for Scotland, for lib
erty, and especially Ter Burns. A Scotchman
himself, he understands perfectly the charac-
teristics Of his couutrymen, and 10 thoroughly
conversant with the lite and poetry Of Scotia's
bard. He Is q hunorist, and frm believer In
the "laugh and grow fat'' doctrine. By his an
ecaotes, and more especially by his manner
and genial countenance, he keeps his audience |
convulsed with ughter. His quoted passages |
are culled from ths poets best productions, |
and recited in the Scotch with feeling. His re-
marks on patriotism, and bis allusion to his |
adopted couutry and her flag, were evidently
from his heart, and well calculated to shame |
some natives less ardent in their love Of
country. Certainly no one left the Hall dissat-
isHed; all were pleased and many delighted
We hope Mr.. Roberta may be induced to re-
peat his lecture at an early day.
The Gopsrnorship.-The editor of the Della
ware County Republican, in noticing a COM
munication recommending Jams 90 Riddle for
the nomination of the Union party OF Della
ware, for Governor, says 1.-THE above article
meets our cordial appreciation. We're we q
citizen of Delaware, we should urge the NOM
instion of Mr.. Riddle for Governor, In prefer
ence to any other gentlemen who might be
presented to the Convention. We have known
him for nearly quarter OF century, as an
honest, upright, outspoken mana friend to
the laboring classes-one whom they could
support at the polls with full knowledge that
they were voting for representative Of their
own, who would watch and carefully guard
their interests. The manufacturing and me-
chanical classes oil Delaware have always been
overlooked in the choice of Chief Magistrate,
, and this is one csuse why the Republican or
Union element in the State has nearly always
been in the minority. Let our political friends
try the experiment oil nominating a man like
James Riddle, and the result will be a sure
triumph for their principles and their man.
