SA ULSB URY TO BAYARD.

The DciaWoreon sends the Wilmington
Democrats very severe, and very unjust,
lecture, for doing what they ,uld not help
taking drubbing at Tuesdays election
The Salisbury paper evidently means to
make fling at the Bayards for failing to
come up stronger, and considering how 1t
already has the latter down in the dust by
the terms of the Blggs bargain, this seems
to be adding insult to injury. The rebuke
is as follows:-
The above result should warn our Demo-
cratic friends to be vigilant. With the large
accessions they have received from the Rad
icsl ranks better exhibit than the above
should have been shown in Wilmington
In tine selection of municipal officers II is not
well to arouse rancOrOus party spirit. but
q careful watch and guard should be kept at
all times over the movements of the oppos-
ing party. 1t is their custom before an elec-
tion to sweetly sing saway with politics,
but they as certainly hasten to proclaim a
pnrty victory when their candidate WINS
BY such advances the Radicals obtained all
power in this country, and when people
writhed under the yoke claimed the public
endorsement as license for their usurpati0n
and tyranny. While we are charitable
enough to admit that the satisfaction given
in the discharge of official duties by the
present incumbents of the Mayors, Alder
mans and Treasurer's offices had much tc
do with their re election. still it was the du
ty of the Democracy of Wilmington, having
secured equally good candidates, to hav'
put forth, In view of the approaching cleo
lion, an effort commensurate with the en-
couraging effect Democratic triumph IL
Wilmington was calculated to produce eve

CHIEF Justice Chase.

GARD FROM COLONEL WILLIAM BROWN.
Colonel Brown publishes card in the
Cincinnati C0nan1e, ci0t in answer to some
of the charges made against him by the New
York World. He says that intimation that
any one in Indiana had aught to Go with the
preparation of his speech is false. Every
line of it was written by him in his own
ROOM 1t was begun on the Nth, and fin
ished ON the stb No person had seen or
known aught of its contents except his wife
and a MIR. Seymour, an old family friend
He gave some idea of its contents to another
friend in Nicholasville KY, and to the cor
respondent of the Louisville Democrats
He says:-
Gas TO my ignorance of the movement, !
beg leave to refer him for information, first,
to the Chief Justice himself; second. to
General j. s. Whitney of Boston, the Hon.
Alexander Long of Cincinnati, the Hon.
Hamilton Smith of Cannelton, Ind, the
Hon. John j. Cisco and Colonel John d.
Van Buren, of lSeM York. 1t is in the pow
er of these gentlemen to verify every state
ment in my speech concerning MIR. Sey-
mour. also refer the World to an article
signed r. and which appeared in the West
and South day before yesterday. 'R.' is a
better Democrat and better newspaper
writer than the editor ofthe World, and his

Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,, in his
great speech in Bangor, Maine, the other
day, ,skelched briefly and tersely the incipient
stages of secession and war, ofwhich he was
u witness, during 1860. He says:
When the nation was looking forward to
the approaching Presidential election OF 1850
these Southern Democratic leaders, trenzled
with the fanaticism OF slavery, came into the
Both Congress haughtilv threatening the dis
memberment of the Union, if the people
ahould choose Chief Magistrate opposed
to slavery extension, protection and domi-
nation. The halls of Congress again rang
with the revolutionary menaces OF incipient
treason. Jefferson Davis, foremost among
that uuhallowed combination, had spent the
summer of 1859 In the North. Returning to
Mississippi in the autumn of that year with
assurances that if the slavery contest came
to blows, .'the Northern Democrats would
throttle the Republicans in their tracks, =
he advised the people of the South to turn
their old muskets into Mimic rifles, prepare
powder, shot and shell for II the Republi-
cans should elect the next President, he
was ''fOr asserting the independence OF
Mississippi. for the immediate withdrawal
| from the Union" Brown, rot to be outdone
by his rival, ''would make a refusal to
acquire territory, because it was to be slave
territory, cause of disunion." Clay de-
| clared that Alabama, s'if she is not recreant
to all the State pride, integrity and duty de-
mand will meyer submit to your authority.
Toombs called upon Georgia to ''listen to NO
vain babblngs, no treacherous jargon about
overt acts the enemy is at your door, wal
not for him at the heartbstone, meet him a
the door silln Iverson would not even sub
nit to the election of John Sherman TO
Sneaker: Sin that event." he exclaimed
Il would walk out of this Capitol, woul,
counsel my constituents Instantly to dissov
all political ties with party and people VIII
thus trample on our rights" Clingman woul'
wait for no overt act, for mo other overt ac
can so imperatively demand resistance O
our part as the simple election of their cand
| date" The Hall of the House echoed wit
these sediiious m ,tterings OF Il disloyal Dc
, mocracy. Democratic office-holders, thronl
/ ing the galleries applauded the guilty menal
+ to '.shiver the Union from turret to fonnd'
} tion stone" Slavery, disloyal in ever
q fiber of its being, seemed to have infused i
i malignant passion, Its deadlieA poison int
q the brain, the soul, the heart of the Dem0
racy. Their record, for that winter, Is
record of shameless apostacy to the countr
d to the liberties of the people, to the civiliz
d ton of the age. In that time of Democrat
apostacy, the Republicans maintained, wi
unflinching firmness, the unity Of the Repu
d lie, the authority of the Government, al
l. tho rights of mankind. Whoever reads q
ia records of that day will realize that Repu
- licanism was inspired by the generous, g
= waiting, ennobling spiritlof Liberty, and I'll
ID the Democracy was dominated by the nj
8. row, vulgar, brutal barbarism OF slavery.

NOT BOTH HORSES-O! NO.

The members OF the Delaware Democracy |
can't serve God and Mammon both. They |
cant ally themselves with national party |
in favor of negro suffrage, and yet pretend
that in their own Stats they are opposed
to negro suffrage.
Delaware Democracy. you have got to
take one of these horses and leave the other
you can't ride both.
What are the facts2
dr. Bayard, Mr. Beasten, Mr.. Bradford,
Ma. Cummins, Mr.. Wright, Mr.. Ponder,
six Of the most prominent Democrats of this
State, representing fully all its leading ele-
ments, were at the New York Convention
They helped to nominate Seymour and
Blair; they helped to make the plat
form. They came home, and their whole
party in Delaware join them in adhering to
Seymour, Blair and the New York platform.
Now the New York Convention was a
Negro Suffrage Convention. 1t was ready
to nominate Judge Chase. Vallandigham
says it was. 1t did not pass any resolution
against the right or the practice of negro
voting. Ifit had been opposed to either it
would have said 30.
Furthermore, this National Democratic
party, to which the Democracy Of Delaware
profess their allegiance, is using the negro
vote, all over the South, wherever 1t can gel
the aid of a single colored man. They pa
rade every accession and show their gladnesi
when any of the negroes are announced al
Mtying joined In the support of Seymour
,Bah,ecues are arranged by colored Demo
cratic Clubs, and meetings by white Demo
.craticsGnbs, to which they invite each othe

over news like this, "Still they Come"

DELAWARE AND CuEsEAPEAKE CANAL.-The
heavy rain storm of Friday did considerable
damage to the Delaware and Chesapeake canal.
The bank gave away near st. Georges flooding

from its sides, making it impossible for boats.
We are also informed that the banks Of the res

But this was only . slight triumph, and Mr.,
