CArEvILLE. NORTHAMPTON Co., Va.
October Sd, 1868.
DEAR TRIBUNE IL see several writers 10 your
paper advocate a union Of all the counties be-
tween the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays into
one State. This ought to have been done by the
British Government in forming the colonies or
it could have been done in the winter of 1S61-G2,
when it was proposed by the then Secretary OF
War; Hon. Simon Cameron, us war measure
As nutive Delawartan there Is no ordinary
political event which could give me more pleasure
than this would but candor compes me to state
frankly that 1t is now waste of time ink, and
paper to write or print anything on the subject.
There are now so many practical difficulties in the
way as to render such naion impossible. Some
of these difficulties will mention.
We in Accomac and Northampton are 'recGn-
structed," that Is, we have manhood suffrage.
Docs any sane man suppose that delegates from
Kent county, Delaware, would meet n colored
delegate from this or acconac county? The
colored voters are in majority in these counties,
and could send colored delegates This would of
itself break up the Convention.
Again, ne are entirely free from the curse of
modern Democracy, while two counties in Della
ware, and eight counties of Maryland, are groan-
Ing under It, Again, Delaware and Maryland
have high taxes, while we here pay none. The
rebels ran the State so hnpelessly in debt as to be
unable 10 pay the interest even, so no taxes are
cOHecleu except nn oyster TAX, when suillces 10
pay the State officers.
/ have been here going in three years, In
charge of property that cost its owners $4,000,
with between one and two thousand dollars worth
of teams and stock, yet no tax collector has ever
made his appearance to ask me for any tax coun-
ty, State or national, except one who collected
$40 for couple of hands had planting oysters.
We not only pay no taxes, but we use no stamps,
except postage stamps. stamped receipt for
the payment of money here would be curiosity.
! bought large schooner last summer from a
North Carolina Star Heel" through n Norfolk
Commission House. and when the sale bill came
In the place where the stamp ought to have been,
wanted it stamped might stamp 1t, us the seller
would do no such thing. SO you see, my dear
slrs, that we are in land of liberty, while you
are serfs to the Democracy. and will be until you
can get the people of Delaware and Maryland to
come up to the true living principle of Manhood
Suffrage. 1t is idle to write or print articles on
this subject. T.

Democracy on Suffrage.

MEssRs. EprroRs:-It appears to me that the
Democrats of 1868 have rather ''gone back" on
the Democrats of 1864, in our little State.
In an Act entitled An act further to protect
the elective franchise" the preamble is as follows
WHEREAS, The enjoyment of civil liberty ID
of the most vital Importance to any people claim
Ing to be free and
"WHEREAs, No such enjoyment can be had
without the free and untrammelled exercise of
tho right to vote which right should be protected
not only by penal sanctions, but by the creation
and use Of penal remedies
This Act was passed at Dover, October 2Sth,
1864, the Senate being divided as follows, viz -
Yess-Messrs. Hitch, Hickman, Salisbury and
Mr.. Speaker.
Nays-Measrs. Belville, Tatum and Williamson
3.
Where is the p,iriiege about this?
Why did not the Union senators have the ques-
ton divided, and vote for this preamble?
Is it not all we Republicans Claim, and could
our yiliiied Black aud Tim" Convention resolu-
lions, or our third resolution in the May Conven-
ton Mt Dover, be stretched 10 90 ms far as this
docs? Would II not suit Wendell Phillips to I !?
Yours truly,
BLACK REPUBLICAN.

Mn. EDIToR:-Scyeral of your correspondents,
very old and respectable no doubt seem to be
wonderfully exercised as to the origin of our
Plantation Bitters. So long as these Bitters are
all that we represent them to be, we do not know
that it makes my difference from whom they
come, or from whence they originated; but for
the information Of the public generally, and old
Captain Wentz in particular we will say that he
told the truth, ard that these Bilters originated
in the West India Isands-that many of The in
gradients have been favorably used for over II
century, but our combination OF Calisnya is en-
tirely new, and our own. The rum and other
materials are the same, and MS your correspond
ent says, q better Bitters aud Tonic Is not made
