The Wilmington Commercial Of yesterday,
gives the following graphic account of an
interview with Senator Sausbury:-
shortly before o'clock this morning Senator
salisbury called at the Commercial Office. He
arrived in Wilmington last week, but had
hitherto neglected to see us. Up to some time
on Saturday the Senator had maintained the

hours upon the Diamond at Georgeto wn, arose
in his recollection. The Senator has ruined the
whole Democratic party's character. Its breath
smells. This we regret, but we cannot help.
Mr.. Saulsbury's appearance in the Commercial
office was to some degree unexpected. he came
III to put up the money in q little bet of one
hundred thousand dollars on the election.
His, dress was respectable, his boots blacked
his hair rather awry, and his manner sportive
in the extreme. He addressed the Commercial
In familiar style, alluding to 1t in terms not

He testified his appreciation of II, however, by
Offering to subscribe, and protesting his readiness
to draw check for fifty dollars in payment. A
around, the Senator invited them UP to our
counter to take drink, and to the scandal of all
good people, called on Mr.. Hersey, a principal
pillar Of Of the Good Templars, to SET out the bot.
ties. This conduct of the Senator was painful.
1t indicated how completely the temperance
spirit of our Democratic opponents has fled.
Several gentlemen, fearing that our visitor was
troublesome, asked him to accompany them to
his hotel. This, however, he per,istently de-
clined, and expressed his intention to remain
some time. Our young friend of sixteen years,
Charley Virgins, having suggested doubt as
to whether the Senator had so much loose
change in his pockets as the bets he was offer.
Ing 10 make, the Senatorial wrath was greatly
excited, and the Senatorial language was far
from that high level of politeness which we
should naturally expect from the ruling classes
OF Dover, and below. He further inumated a
desire TO chastise Charley, and shook the Sena.

Senator meant to insult US, when he swung his
hat, and said:-"H'ror, boys! Les give
thr-cheers democratic party, right here In
more than sporrive. For Senator salisbury, of
Georgetown, to come into the front Office of the
Daily Commercial, at an early hour on Monday
morning, and in the presence of large and
excited crowd, to swing his hat AMI propose
three cheers for the Democratic party, fright

We don't mind a little profanity. and we can
stand good deal OF vulgarity, when we
consider that the speaker is only the represen-
tative of Delaware, in the Senate of the United
States, but there is point, as the Declaration
OF Independence pertinently remarks beyond
which endurance ceases to be virtue. After
several gentlemen had Intellectually sought to
lead our visitor away, our friend DIR. Askew
to his hotel. We trust that il he should again
make his appearance in public, he will be per-
mltted to indulge his humorous fancies as he
may desire, unless the police feel it their duty
to interfere. As for his calling at the CONNER
cial office it is all right, though slightly liable
to cause disturbance.
