the policy Of his "Accidcncy" if successful
would insure to rebels and traitors through

the field, and that the only guarantee that
we can have against future rebellion is to
make treason Odious by the punishment of
traitors, and by placing the control of GOV

The prospect of a complete victory of the
Republican party, in this State, in Novem-
her, brightens with every day and strength
ems with every meeting al which our speak
ers explain, temperately, calmly and judici-
ously, the principles and purposes OF our
party, and the reasonable guarantees lie
manded by Congress, before readmitting to
power and position the rebels and traitors of
the south. The work of instructing and
moulding the popular mind goes on hand
somely and we'll, and if our friends NIL over
the State will continue to work actively and
untiringly until the day of election, the work
of redemption will be complete, and Della
ware will take her stand among the Repub-
lican States of the Union, and once more
honor herself by proving to the world that
the principles engratted upon her political
heart by the lessons Of the war are those of
Liberty and Union, protected by the strong
arm of the people and the legislative power
of patriotic Congress. From all parts OF
the State the news is cheering, and nothing
hut supineness on our part can prevent us
from electing our entire State ticket and
securing the adoption of the constitutional
amendment

pOLlTICAL cLIppINcs.

The President rendered the cause of Free.
dom so much service in his journey to lay
the corner stone of the Douglas monument,
that it is suggested similar excursion might
be entered upon TO inaugurate a monument
to the memory Of the Copperheads in Penn
sylvania, and so forth. If his Excellency
will consent to go, the Republicans will pay
his expenses
The President left the Constitution in the
hands OF the people. The people have shown
that they appreciate the trust, and intend to
guard the sacred instrument with jealous
care, Meanwhile they suggest to Mr.. John
son that there is room for amendment of his
constitution.
The frog in the fable undertook to get out
of well. He took one leap forward, and
iell two hops backward at every attempt.
The Copperhead gains are very much like
the frogs advances, Every effort sends
them deeper into the pit to which their own
intamy has consigned them.
In one Of his speeches, the President said;
81 have great confidence in the people. "
The people reply: ave have no confidence
in you.

QUERY.-Does Mr.. Charles H. b. Day,
Collector of Internal Revenue, consider him
self "sdtrap and dependant" as Andrew
johnson publicly called all those who ac-
cepted office under him, Or does he
honestly believe that, by holding on to his
office and endorsing My Policy" he is
doing the party service, the opinion of
Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, &c, to the contrary
notwithstanding? If he believes either OF
these, all we have to say to him is that there
is better Day coming, in and during which
he will have an opportunity to revise his
political conduct at his leisure and free from
not only the cares of office, but also the good
opinions of his once party friends, but now
his plying Republican opponents.
Delaware State journal and statesman., 1866-10-19
PnEs1pENT OR KING.

Mr.. Stewards question, "Will YOU have
Andrew johnson as President or King?" is
answered by the Augusta Is. C.) Press,
which argues that "a Dictatorship is feasible
and possible" The following paragraph is
noteworthy:
"'What has been done can be done again;
and there is no reason to doubt that the
American people would submit to a Dictator
with as good grace and as much enthusiasm
as ever did those of the countries we have
named. President JohRson, as Dictator,
tcih gietC to crush out RddicQlism and to
restore the Union to its former unity, poeer
md greatness, i00uld haze title difficulty in
carrying out his proclamation and his pro-
grdmme. 1t might be said that he would
have no army to sustain him. All least OF
difficulties is 1t TO manage an army. There
would be no lack of bayonets and swords to
sustain the Dictator, and under his power,
thus concentrated and made effective, OPP
posing forces would melt like snow beneath
the rays OF MONDAY SUM-"
The Press then refers TO the recent Gle c.
tions, and adds;
"Thus it will be seen that the cause OF
Conservatism is, indeed, lost cause; and
it only now remains to be seen whether the
President will succumb to the popular whirl-
wind which has swept up like II simeon over
the North, Or whether he will sustain his
position and defend the Constitution at any
and all hazards y
From these remarks, and otlors of a SINH
lar character found in Southern newspapers,
1t can readily be inferred that the Dictator
slip limited at by "mcoherent Andy"-as
the Delaware Gazette used to call him-is moi
an idle figure of speech, but real tangible
fact, in the mind and purpose OF the acct
dental President. We think, however, thai
the 'Boys in Blue" would not he long in
convincing both the President and his satraps
at the South-should Dictatorial powers be
attempted = that having fought for theil
country and rescued it from the bloody
hands of traitors in the field, they now mean
by every hazard and at any cost Or sacrifice
to preserve it from the grasp of the tyrant in
the Executive chair Let the miserable
drunkard try it, and he will learn TO his sor
row that the great Republican party Of the
country will resolve itself INTO an army
which neither lie nor any other earthly
power can control or manage when engaged
in the cause of liberty and JUSTICE

On the LIST inst, Mr.. @, Knap, Chair
man Of the Executive Committee Of the
bread-and.butler brigade Convention, held
in Philadelphia, ON the 18th of August, ad-

words,to assist the Copperjohnsons in circu-
latng documents calculated TO aid treason
mongers and traitors in their base pur-
poses. Mr.. Wood being n loyal, patriotic
man, and appreciating the blessings of civil
liberty as far above the emoluments OF office,
could not lend himself TO such neiarious
purpose, and so informed this 'satrap,n of
his 'Accidency,n in patriotic letter which

cular of Mr.. Knap. Mr.. Woods letter
breathes the true spirit of Independence and
genuine love of country and its institutions,

DIseRAcEFuL.-The party Of Copperjohn-
sons, in New York have nominated notori-
ous blackleg and prize fighter for Congress,
in the 9TH District This is IN keeping with
the political and social morality of the party
which is constantly complaining that the
pulpit interferes with politics. Could any
thing be more manifest than that it is The
duty of the pulpit and church, everywhere,
to interfere with politics when the great
Democracy presents to the public such peni
tentiary material for places of honor
In announcing this nomination, the New
York Tribune says
John Morrissey has been nominated by the
McKeon Convention as Congressman for the
9th District, and if endorsed by Tammany,
as he hopes to be, may be elected This fact
is but an ordinary result of the corruption OF
New York politics. Though there have
been worse men sent to Congress, yet pub
lie decency and the dignity Of the National
Legislature have seldom been 50 boldly out
ragged. To select an cx-prizc-fightcr rs a
legislator is dlsgraceul enough, but Morrisey

october 0th, lSU6.
Mi. c. KNAP,
SIR
have received by mail,
circular purporting to be issued by COM
mittee appointed at Convention, held in
the city of Philadelphia, to which your name
is attached as chairman. This circular an
nounces that you propose to circulate u large
number of documents, calculated TO enlighten
the public mind on the great questions now
at issue, and from my official relations with
the President, you presume that ! will cheer
fully aid his friends, and contribute towards
meeting the expenses necessarily incurred by
you in this matter.
In reply, | would say that the recent po-
litical tour of the President, Seward Il Co.,
together with the Memphis and New Orleans
massacres, and the numerous murders per.
petrated almost daily ON loyal Union men
throughout the late Rebel States, ought Ia
have sufficiently enlightened the minds of all
who read, oil the nature of the momentous
contest in which we are now engaged; and
therefore the circulation of such documents
as you propose among those who will not,
or cannot read, will involve useless if moi
a sinful expenditure of money that might be
applied to a nebler object.
With all due Difference, question youl
right to presume, as the language of youl
circular intimates, that | value official rela
tionship more than political principles Such
an assumption places Office holders in very
uniayorable light. l cannot submit silently
to such degradation. was appointed tC
office without solicitation on my part.
then held the views so forcibly enuncatc(
by Andrew Johnson: "That treason ough
to be made odious;" that ORATORS shoul,
take a back seat in the work of restoration;
that "a traitor has ceased to be ctizcn
and that she should be subjected to u sever,
ordeal before he is restored to citizenship
Believing Andrew johnson to be sincere
when he uttered these sentiments, and wher
he said, $50 far as in me lies, those principles
shall be carried out" l voted for him. 1t il
presuming too much to infer that am viii
ling to repudiate these principles now, ant
contribute cheerJaRy towards policy tia
