FURTHER NOTES on the PRESENT CANVASS
Apart from the different war records of the men
engaged, and the attempt to lug in the Temper
ancc question, one of the most prominent features
in the canvass is the question Of enactng Free
Railroad law. Last year, neither party referred
to It in its platform, but General Geary, in re-
Spouse TO a letter, warmly stated his approval of
1t, while it was protested for Mr.. Clymer that he
was equally in favor of such legislation This
year, however the Democrats say nothing in
their resolutions, in reference to the subject while
the Republicans boldly declare themselves that a
Free Railroad Law should be passed. In the
Western section OF the State this plank in the RE-
publican platform is Enthusiastically Il popular one
for the people of the counties west of the Allie
glanies are deeply interested in the affirmative
decision Of the question. Pittshurg has been for
years attempting to get railroad which shall
connect her with Baltimore, but the influence of
that great anaconda which, like the Camden and
Amboy in New Jersey, is crushing the enterprise
and prosperity of Pennsylvania to death.thc
PENNSYLVANIA Central Rairoad--has been so great
in Legislative Hall, and Court Of Justice that 10
this day the Connellsvlle Railroad" by which
Pittsburg will have new communication with the
Atlantic, is project only, not a realization But
powerful us the monopolies are, they cannot al
ways succeed in controlling great Common
wealth., and the time is rapidly approaching in
rants will be over 1t will be no longer j, necessi-
ty of law that few capitalists shall keep their al
ready overlooking Golfers, but every section will
be equally at liberty to develop its material re-
sources, and build aiailroad as it can u turnpike,
wherever it is needed.
1t Is therefore reasonable to look for great ma
Jorties in all the western counties in favor of the
Free Railroad Law, while there should be an caunl
support Of IL everywhere in the State. The citi-
H,'ils OF Delaware are, indeed, not uninerestcd.

HEDGING ALREADY

There is no heartiness in the Democrat,
opposition to the Equal Rights movement
as any one may see who has the curiosity
and patience to read their papers. The Ga
zettc has no more ability than usual, til,
| Detuvdrcan much less,-so little indeed
that we should presume the distinguished
editors who control its utterances must be
| absent from Dover, or otherwise engaged
perhaps in reading Mrs. McConaughy news.
paper.
1t looks, indeed, as though Democracy IN
Delaware, as il did in the District of Colum-
bia, in Tennessee, and in every reconstruct
ing State, was about to become, at the elev-
snth hour, prctentious friend of Equal
Rights, for the purpose of conciliating the
three thousand, or thirty five hundred col
ored voters of the State. If this be not
the case, why is il that all the abuse, editori-
ally poured out against the movement, is di-
rected against the signers ofthe call who are
already yoters2 They are declared to be all
that is disreputable, while there is not a
shadow of allegation against the colored cit
liens. II is even limited that the "more re-
spectacle portion" of the latter are really not
DESTROYS OF attaining the right of suffrage !.
All the sgners of the call are rich men. rid
ing In their carriages C)-"except the ne
groes.' very few weresoldiers-s except
the negrocc.' Very few are native Delawa-
ans'-"except the negroes
And so it goes. Was there ever time in
Democratic history, before, when men were
to be abused, that their papers always added
except the negroess" We hardly think so.
These are signs that in view of the coming
OF the deluge, the shrewd men, who are
found even in Democratic company, are
looking around for timber suitable for an
ark. Let us be cheerful. With the example
OF Tennessee before us, we can look upon
this change of base with resignation, and
when we find our opponents insisting to
their auditors at political gatherings-out-
side of Wilmington, of course-that thew
have African blood in their veins, let us
rather grin than tremble.

The candidate of the Republicans for Alder
man, Is the present Incumbent MI. Vincent, who
| is SO well known as scarcely to need any recon-
incubation at our hands, As an old citizen Of
Wilmington, unidentified with Its interests and
engaged in several Of its prominent enterprises,
he Is familiar to ALL His ability to discharge the
duties Of the Office is unquestioned, indeed no
has given 1t degree Of attention, and raised 1t TO
an Importance which former incumbents never
did. Mr.. Vinccut's amiable and gentlemanly
character, void of offeuce to any one and care
fully respectful of the rights Of all of his fellows,
commends him to popular support. We doubt,
| indeed, If a single good reason could be alleged
against his reelection.
George G. Maris, Esq, has been named for City
Treasurer, over several other most worthy gen.
tlemcn. He is a young man whose ability as an
accountant Is excellent and character beyond
question. For number of years he was clerk
in the employ of the Mcssrs. Pyle, but has lately
established himself in business He is known to
| many Of the citizens of Wilmington as gentle
man of most upright principle, genial and polite
manners, careful and exact In all his business
transactions, n working man, and one who has
the sympathy and confidence OF the masses. He
Is liberal and earnest Republican, thoroughly in
| accord with the party, and hi, election will be In
all respects an excellent choice.
Mr.. Joseph Pierson, the candidate for Assessor,
has already served one term In the office and
given universal satisfaction, not only to the peo-
Pile at large, but to the Finance Committee of the
City Council, who warmly commend his energy
and promptness in the discharge of his duties,
and assert that the excellence of his administr-
tion of the office has had appreciate effect on
the city finances. He is q working man, ono Of
the people, Il journeyman carpenter who for
many years followed his trade He is popular
with his fellow working-men as good workman
and n kind friend, and they will not fall to give
him an opportunity to display for another term
his excellent qualities In the Office he now fills.

The PUBLICATION OF the call for convention in
Wilmington, September It'll, has produced the
warmcst and most enthusiastic response from a !,
parts OF the State. A private letter from Kent
county says -
:" The call, in Thursdays papers, was generally
read here, and, as might have been expected,
caused considerable excitement on the part of the
Democrats, but produced likewise a reaction, and
caused much interest among the Union men, who
express themselves warmly in favor of the move
