or to provide during the rigors OF winter for the
families VINO needed assistance. the city council
did net stop To ihquire what section OF the State

generous hand gave to all. Having exhausted
4 The power hey nad before the war to RAISE mo.
ney tor extraoi binary purposes. and feeling thai
luch good remained to be done, they applied to
nv Legislature for authority to borrow money
md to expend it for these patriotic purposes
Their application was not granted. il was on
II rcJunt OF this refusal Of the Legislature, that
u" promise 10 gay 10 each of the volunteers OF

Fifty dollars has never been fulfilled. A the
Jaw then stood aud now stands, the members
OF the City Council would have become indivd-
laily liable, Chad they paid this bounty TO the
amount OF over forty thousand dollars. BY
every rule Of justice and fairness this bounty
Is cue TO the soldiers OF the Fourth Delaware,
'ut ought to be paid by the State for which
hey fought and whose credit and honor they
so nobly sustained.
