A HypocRfrYc |" WALE."

The DeSQtUufeun, as though one oracle
had furnished a common inspiration for
both, sings the same song as the Gttxette,
wherein great deal of glittering generality,
literally colored with z unveracity," Is
chanted TO tune of most dlamal lament.
1t opens with quoting the words Of Douglas,
a fit procedure, for an organ of the Sauls-
bury family, gentlemen who seeded from the |
Baltimore Convention that nominated Doug |
las for President, and at Richmond helped |
to set up Breckenridge in opposition to him.
1t goes on to say -
"We have no hope that republican gov |
eminent, as 1t has heretofore existed in this |
country, will eyer again exist In the South |
ern portion of the country, or will long ex-
LIST In any OF the Northern States, unless the
Radical power in the government is speedily
broken.
With this party controlling the govern |
ment, no hope for the future of the country
can be INDUCED by any sane man. Not only
the spirit, but the very form of our govern
ment is being rapidly changed. We are pass
ing with hurried steps from republic TO
despotism as absolute and tyrranical as exists
| In any part of the known world. In ten
States of the Union despotism already ex-
lSlS, anu IL Will, IL ndulChilSiu Coutilluco "
prevail, be extended at an early day to Della
| ware and all the other States of this Union.
| The Radicals call 1t progress 1t is progress
sion in fearful ratio to ruin. 1t is retrogres-
sion from freedom to slavery-from happi-
| ness to misery--from light to darkness-from
| Christianity to infidelity. No interest of the
country but must perish eventually beneathts
whitening touch. Can the financial interests
of the country be unaffected by the metam-
orphosis of our form of governments Nay,
verify; but in the common ruin will be in
cluded the financial interests of the country,
as well as every other interest The national
banking system, based as 1t is upon govern
ment securities, will perish with the rest
The best paying investment Of to-day will
ii Radicalism is not checked, become utterly
worthless. So too of the manufacturing and
producing interests of the country. Labor
will fail TO find It's Just reward, and penury
and want will take up their abode in homes
where they arc now unknown. Reader, do
you believe it If not, go down South and
witness what Radical reign is doing for that
section. Let it be extended to Delaware as
is now proposed in Congress, and as the
leading Radicals of the State desire, and your
lands, now valuable and productive. and COM
handing fair prices, when offered for sale,
will, deserted by your best citizens, become
comparatively valueless.
No man In DelawaIe who has proper re-
gard for his own pecuniary interest, or the
happiness of himself and posterity, not to say
the least regard for liberty, and law, can be
Radical or support the Radical party unless
he is demented. The policy of Radicalism
was, in the beginning of its reign in 1861,
War-fraternal War-and Douglas forsaw
and declared that such policy WAS dis
union.
There is a large amount of 'cheek" in
this specimen, as for instance where it
prophesies retrogression from freedom
to slavery" These are fit words and come
with peculiar propriety from newspapers
who in the days when slavery actually ex-
listed, were Its staunch allies, and who now,
, if they do not, like the Maryland Conserya-
tives, hope to see it re-established, at least
look back ON its demise with regret and sor-
row.
: When it says, 1--WE have no hope of re-
; publican government "as it has heretofore
i existed, the meaning of course is-with thu
: colored men either enslaved or excluded from
q citizenship, or both. And these it is very rea
! sonable in not expecting to see again. "W
Q are passing with hurried steps from repub
p "lic to dcspotism,' says this waller, We
i the whole course of events, and effort of thu
n Republican party is to extend suffrage,to wi
v den the bases of power, to make all citizen

e ment This is perfectly well understood b.

4 plain what is Liberty?
f. 1t is well indeed, to ask about the Natior
al finances. The organs of Mr.. Andre

If United States loans, and when one of thes
ar declares, 'the National banking system
biased us it is upon government securities
twill perish with the rest, it is easy to con
prehend a case where so clearly the wish
