Nor TRUE.-The DelawGrean, in speaking
of the trick" attempted to be played off
upon the Copperjohnson party, by the intro.
ducton-upon the election ground-of tick
cts with the name of Samuel Jefferson on
them lor Governor, accompanied by the re.
port that Gov Salisbury had suddenly de-
ceased, says:
I'VE have seen one of the tickets and
should Judge from the type That il was
printed in the office OF the Deldware
JoHrBal"
Now, we beg to inform the editor of the
Dsla@arean that he has no business to
'Judge" any such thing. We never saw
the ticket in question, did not print it, never
heard tell OF ii and did not know anything
whatever OF either the ticket or the ''trick'
until Wednesday morning, the day after the
election
We condemn the whole affair as cordially
as the De'anrsap can do, and would scorn
the idea Of recognizing victory obtained
under such false and unworthy prctences.
And further, We here state tor the informa,
iion Of the Dela@arcd" and its readers that
the State Central Committee and those at
the head of the campaign conducting its af.
fairs by the authority and with the sanction
OF that committee, knew nothing Of the
trick until it came to their knowledge by
public report Will the Deiaworeon do lis
the justice to publish this.

that there is great deal of mystery attending
the reported negro revolt on several planth-
tons in Cuba, the statement respecting
affairs being very contradictory. There have
been many disastrous fires in various parts of
the Island, and it is thought slaves may be
the author ofthem.
An anti slave association has been organ

African negroes into the Island
A new line of Spanish steamers have been

BEroRE AND AFrER.

After the passage of the Civil Rights Bill
through Congress, the New York Herald had
an editorial of some length. approving it in
most unqualified, not to say enthusiastic
terms. The following extract indicates the
general tone Of the article:
Under the Constitution rs it is. slavery is
abolished and interdicted over all the States
to enforce this article by appropriate legisld-
tom
But does the power to enforce the freedom
of the blacks involve the power to enforce
their equal civil rights as citizens over the leg
islation Of the several States? 1t seems to
US that such is the scope of this constitutional
amendment. Take dtcny slarery, oad there Is
no color IN the Consultation, oil men Of erery
color stand upon the same terel as citizens Of
The United States The enforcement Of this
amendment, therefore, abolishing slavery,
inrot es in po,oer to enforce this equality in
cirilrights. Upon this subject it follows that
not only are all the old slave codes and black
laws Of the South abolished, but that the re-
constructive Legislation Of the late rebel
States, from Virginia to Texas, embracing
one system Of lascs for the ,chiles, and another
for the blacks, mast al 90 BY tie board. Does
this interfere with the reconstruction policy
of President johnson? We1think not On
the contrary, It rcliercs him ~ rast amount
of troublesome ,cork ii The protection Of the
ciril rights Of the .freedmsn
The Civil Rights bill we regard, accordingly
as practical, just and beskfcem measure,
and one which the President will cheerfully
approve. s

KEEPING the spirit Of the old slave regime,
denouncing Republicanism, and mad at the
progress that is forced upon it, the Democ-
racy has been compelled to endorse Repub-
lcanism in order to be tolerated in the coun-
try as political organization.
Repubhcanism accepted the war forced
upon the country BY traitors; that Repub.
lican action the Democracy opposed, bat it
now claims popular favor for its love for the
Union and its support Of the war.
The Emanci. alton proclamation was .
radical measure but the Democracy have
come up to its support. The abolition of
slavery was radical measure but the democ-
racy have been brought up to the point of
voting for it.

they have since endorsed. They are slow

move on and endorse present Republican
measures. Meantime our party,s policy hav-
ing constantly proved the wise one, and the
one which even the Copperhead Democracy
have been compelled to adopt, the people
