Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1866-10-25

the fact that have for many ysars been iden-
tiled with the Democratic Party Of Delaware, a
beg your indulgence TO allow mo 9 short \
space 10 your columns at this time. The party !
to which have long been attached has always
professsd great friendship for the adopted cit
izens, ard have always held out Inducements
TO us that they were our true friends. ana that
toey would stand by US il every emergency
They have occasionally given some of US
ttihing petty offices, in their gift, 10 keep US
froin murmuripg, but they have always taken
good care 10 place no aoopted citizen on their
ticket for any office of distinction or prtft
wnea there was any shadow of chance OF the
! ticket being successful yet the leaders Of our
party have always denounced the Republican
| party as the enemy Of the adopted citizen -
| They have constantly told us that the lrinci-
| pie of tLat party WAS to keep the foreigner in
this country twenty Que years before be should |
be entitled to the right OF suffrage, aud that |
| hey would never give any adopted CIT Een |
aoy office OF honor or profit and | must say |
WIN sorrow the great masses of the adopted
ciuzens of this STATE, (ard myself among the |
number,l have been deceived by the Democra-
| I leaders in our S ate. As a proo' OF this. /
have DOLLY to cite my fellow adopted ciiizeus to |
the nomination OF James Riddle fer the office
OF Governor OF the State of Delaware, the
highest Office in the gif; Of the people OF the
ate. BIZ the nomination Of this worthy adopt
I'd citizen, the Republican party OF this State
has given the lie to the assertion CT the Dem
ocratic leaders, that the Republican party Of
Delaware is proseriptive party. AID no
| sooner is the nomination of this adop sd citi-
zsn announced than those men who have al
ways heen the great friends of the adopted
citizen, are seen TO congregate IN the offices OF
certain distinguished Democratic orators OF
this city, and there laugh and sneer over the
nomination OF Mr.. Riddle for Governor and
notwithstanding the fact that they have tiled
10 guard against the adopted citizen hearing
their remarks, they have on more than one &C.
casion bgen heard to exclaim "a pretty state
of affairs, indeed, to be ruled by old Irsh>
man," and "could' mt lind any body else to nom
mate but an Irishman." And on a certain oc-
CASTOR when certain of them had been imo.-
bling pretty freely, they were overheard.to ex-
claim in derision: "Hurrah for ould Jenny
McRiddle and Jenny UKim, the Dublin cau-
didates of the disunion party Of Delaware. -
To my fellow adopted citizen, would ask
l what better evidence of the great love OF the
Democratic leaders for you, do you want than
that expressed in the sneess of her leaders at
the nomination OF a foreigner Can you will
you, be any longer deceived by those mem
will you stand by any party that will ostracise
man because he WAS born on foreign soil?
is Look at the men who are now acting with the
Nv Democratic party as their leaders. Let US for
he II moment review their past history. In the
no first place, let US inquire what were the for
ne mer sentiments OF Mr.. Joseph N. Barr, the
DIV newly appointed Postmastes of our cily,-tbt
or man who delivered that magnificent speech al
ug | Newark, Delaware, q few evenings ago,--tht
