has recently been opened through the entire
length of our State which will add vastly
to our prosperity, by bringing our Peninsula
more directly into notice. Travellers will
see our hourishing peach orchards, and be
convinced by ocular demonstration of the
adaptedness of our land to the growth of
fruits and vegetables. Our proximity TO the
best of markets by the Delaware Railroad
is another great advantage and one that will
be appreciated.
There is scarcely spot in the entire Pc
nnsula which is more than from ten to fif-
teen miles from either railroad or navga-
bic water. The land can DO iarmcd with one

States The winters are short and mostly
mild. We have had snow on the ground
now for three weeks in middle Delaware. a
circumstance which has not occurred for
many years before.
With the Reading Railroad completed to
Wilmington, we can procure lime, the basis
of agricultural improvement. and what the
exhausted soils of Delaware need, much
cheaper than now, which will give new
impetus to agricultural improvement.

WHAT WE DO AND DO NOT EXPECT
FROM THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE.

| The alienation OF North and South that
led at last to five years civil war was diff
ference Of theory and difference of civiliza-
ton. Those differences. opposed TO each
other during the war, fought out. by the
most unanswerable logic, their own issue.
The social theories. the habits of thought,
the kind of civilization adhered TO by the
South, went down under the iron heel of the
war and are ground into the dust hereafter
the idea which must rule the country is the
| triumphant Northern one.
To these conclusions we beg our brethren
ofthe South to come, and though the drausht
may not be a pleasant one, to swallow it
speedily a. possible. American civilization
is now about to he placed al upon the same
level; the institution that made il unequal.
incongruous. and conflicting is destroyed
And the level must be made upward TO the
Northern standard not downward to the
Southern.
We do not feel surprised at many mani
festations upon the face Of Southern events
1t does not astonish us to see the white peo-
pie paying respect to the memory OF those
from their midst who fell in the service OF the
Rebellion. When every family sent mem
Der to fight for IT. when all their hopes and
fears were bound up in the success of the
cause for which they fought, it would he
something more than STANCE if the wives and
sisters and mothers of these who died should
utterly neglect their memory because their
efforts failed. For all the monuments erect
ed to dead rebel generals, the professorships
and railroad prcsidcnccs conferred on living
ones, we can readily find excuse. where ex-
PLANTATION of an opposite conduct would he
hard to give. We are not going to ask i'm
possibilities, by demanding that they shall
spit upon the memory of their "lost cause"
or those who fought for it.
But what we do ask and what they must
expect to concede, is a cultivation of friend
ly relations With the people of the North.
They must honestly uni with us Tor the
common advantage Of all. They must not
swear their infant lIannibals to wage eternal
war against the Yankee Rome. They must
NC Just 10 those Of their people who Joined
with US in sustaining the unity of the Repub-
lie. They must make the laws for all men
alike, regardless whether they were Union
lists or Confederates from 1850 10 1865. and
these laws they must faithfully and imparti-
ally administer. They must allow free
speech, free press, and free intercourse
They must bend their efforts to develop the
free labor which has taken the place of their
old systems. They must give up hints and

The joint resolutions introduced into the
House of Representatives, at Dover, by Mr..
Reed, of Kent, denying the right of the
General Government to compel the placing

WHEREAS sovereignty in State cannot be

OF sovereignty are possessed by such State
AND WHEREAS the several States of the

as having all the powers of sovereignty ex-

mission to the Union was provided for, of
the exercise of any such powers AND
WHEREAS the administration of Justice is
one of the essential powers aforesaid. and no
restraint upon the same was imposed by said

amendments thereto: AND WHEREAS such

THE HOARD OF TRADE.

Everybody interested in the growtl. and
improvement of Wilmington admits the ne
eessity of a Board Of Trade, to watch our
common interests and advance them wher-
ever possible. Yet, strange 10 say, there is
yet no movement to organize such body.
We have been told that there is no one to
do il that those who could organize and
administer n Board of Trade already have
their time fully occupied, and are unable to
give any new enterprise their attention. This
may be measurably true, but it is not a suiii-
cieni reason why Wilmington should he de-

uNITY-NoT ASSOCIATION.

Every child who is born beneath the
shadow of our National Flag should be rear
ed as an American, not Pennsylvania oil
Georgian. For years past Northern chill
dren have been so reared, and they look
upon their State with only the same feeling
of local pride that induces love for their ma
tive hearthstone. The whole countryside
country which one flag symbolizes-is to
them the shrine of their first and undivided
allegiance.
Not alone in the North, but everywhere,
must this education of American children
prevail in the future. Whatever may have
been the idea of the fathers who laid the
first rude foundations of this immense struc-
ture, is not now important. We live not for
the past, but for the present and future For
these we are and must be .'not the Union.
but the RErrBLic for these we must cul-
tiyate among the American people not .is-
s0ciation-but UNITY. Whether the framrr.
OF the Constitution meant us for Il Conitd-
eracy, with, limited powers, or whether
they meant lis for an indissolulle Union. is
now only question Of dead and unimporl-
ant history for the present and all time we
are one countiy-one people-pnc destiny
Let us shape our laws and our civilization
in obedience TO these facts.

Hon. DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, of New York.
Is not yet appointed Minister to England,
nor is Hon. Charles Francis Adams yet re-
moved from that honorable and responsible
position, but there have been the most POSI-
tive assertions from Washington, lately, that
both these events were about to occur, and
we naturally look for some fire among so
much smoke. If il should be So, it will be
very difficult to change the popular opinion
that this appointment of Mr.. David Dudley
had something to do with the recent decision
of his brother, Hon. Stephen j., the Judge
of the Supreme Court, who has recently
taken sides with Andrew johnson, and
joined with four of his colleagues in making
partisan decisions to render Rebellion re-
spectacle. 1t will be unfortunate indeed thus
to lose confidence in the highest legal tri-
bunal of the country, but that is misfor-
tune which we fear has already befallen us.
