A HIGnFALUTIN CANDIDATE-Thc unter-
rified and unwashed Democracy of Kent and
Sussex, with four Or five votes from New
Castle, last week nominated for Congress
from the State of Delaware, Major Benjamin
T. Biggs, known by several pet Applications.
AS specimen of the kind of talk the next
Congress will be RECALLED with by the Repre-
sentative from Delaware, the following is given.
This little speech was made several years ago,
and probably the Major has improved on his
even then splendid "siyle":
Somebody, at a political meeting in Della
ware, very improperly said uncivil things of
Gen. Winfield Scott, whereupon Mr.. Biggs
arose in his defence. The following is his
eloquent speech:
Mr. observation-disclosures says Gen. Scott
is not patriot, should be kicked out of the
back door of public contempt; rolled down the
gutter of degradation picked up with the tongs
Of general e1ecration, and buried in the waters
of oblivion"

The Radical party is reproached for having

\ MODEL CoLLECToR.-We met in the
cars with an old acquaintance on Monday
last, Mr. Richard l.. Crothers, who is the
present tax Collector of the Eighth District.
Mr.. Crothers was on his way to Elkton for
the purpose Of paying off some allowances
that were on his book and depositing with
the Clerk Of the county Commissioners the
balance Of tax remaining in his hands. He
informed us THAT he had collected the whole
amount of State tax, and large part of the
county tax, and his idea of tax collectors
duty was to pay the money over to the Clerk
of the Commissioners and the parties who had
allowances on his tax book as fast as it
came into his hands, in place of retaining
possession of the funds and applying them
to other uses. This was exactly our opinion
of collectors duty, and we were so forci
bly, struck with honest straightforward Dicks
mode ofdoing business, thatwe cannotrestrain
the desire to point him out as a model col
lector, and hope that the board of Commits
sioners have been equally fortunate in their
selection of tax collectors in all the Districts
of the county. Nothing gives US so much
pleasure as to commend honesty and fair
dealing. 1t is such an easy course to pur-
sue and the results are always so satisfactory
and profitable to all parties concerned, that
we marvel SO many men are found diverging
from the plain path of duty, to be entangled
in difficulties that are inextricable.
