Why If the author of this little piece of stuff
were to place his hand on the Bible to swear
to 1t, God would blow his brains out If has
any-but we hardly think he has any. He
tells our friend-whoever he may be-to
keep SHADY We hardly think he is one
of the shady kind, or he would not be SO bold
In his work. But such is the degradation
of the Saulsburys, that the man who votes
for them in the future will have no consci-
entious scruples against negro equality in
any form. But you will hear him howl at
the top of his voice:-"If you let the niggers
vote, your daughters must marry niger
"ohi consistency, thou art jewell"
We are open and above board, bitterly OPP
posed to negro suffrage, and win fight against
1t as long as we are alive. But we are d.
crossing somewhat from our main subject.
We are on the exposition committee, and
must perform our duty to the best of our.

election, by the family, no matter how much
he may lie about it.
How Cove gets up his popularity :-During
campaigns, he always looks out for some
drunken loafers, and gives them alittie
whiskey moneytogo around the streets, and
below at the top OF their voices "three cheers
for Cove Salisbury Hurrah Hurrahii"
and kick up the ID generally at his ex-

he never charges anything for his medical
services, more than their votes for him. But
he makes it up in other directions, by ex-

&C. Cove, did you never steal negroes and
sell them, before Slavery was abolished7-
This Is o question we want you to answer
without any evasion. Did you and your ete-
giant and refined brothers, not go halves with
a certain "nigger trader" who resides in
Milford, whose name is Dorsey, and who
had received an office, at one time, under
your administration. Did you not, before
the war, make it business during every
court to use your Influence and put forth
every effort possible, In sly manner, to aid

your partner in the business Did you fell
lows not furnish part of the capital at the
sales, and receive part of the money on the
second sales Of these negroes7 Answer like
this: I'VE were only silent partners, which
was not SO had--asa saeN..ais.es held before
the public, and acknowledge ourselves ira
ders in human f1esh.''i Now we were not
opposed TO the negroes being punished and
sold to remain in the State, but when 1t
comes to such men as you s,Ueets, who pro-
fess to be above all that is small, dealing in
negro flesh, we appeal to honor and justice,
to know whether or not 1t was in keeping
with anything that was good. Besides, ano-
ther thing casts very dark shade over the
matter. During the war, 1t was one of your
dailyhabits, to go about preaching to the
people, that the 'Lincoln Hirelings" were
robbing the slave holders of Delaware OF all
their slaves, and that they ought to be ''shot
or hung" Now which looked the worse, for
them to enlist the negroes in the army,
openly and publicly, or you and your tools,
stealing them at the dead hour of night,
gagging them, tieing and selling them into
the South? Which presents the brightest
side? Mind, you were a citizen of Delaware,
and should have done all in your power to
aid us in saving our property, when to the
contrary, you and few others, were kid
mapping our property and sending it to the
Southern markets. There are records at the
three different Court Houses of this State
which shows precisely the number of ne
groes sold and bought in this way, and the
persons names who bought them, which, If
printed win rise up before you like the
ghosts of some of the persons you were in
strumental in selling into bondage. But we
were satisfied with slavery, but not having
our property stolen by such ulserated cor
ruption as we have mentioned above. But
such was, and such is the purity of the sauls-
burys and their tools,
We promised in our first to give a few
more facts at some future time, in regard to
the Lottery business. which we will do now
in a very short time, also more about the
subject our last paragraph in our last letter
treated on. We shall make good all our
promises, five arespared to live long enough
which we hope we shall, for the benefit Of
