UNpouBrEpLy, most Of the Delaware
Democrats are opposed to Judge Chase as a
candidate for the Presidency. The Deto-
sodrean demands leader, whose descrip
ton agrees with that usually attributed to
Mr.. Pendeton. But there are a fair sprink-
ling of the Chase Democracy in Wilmington,
to say nothing of the Journal and Mates
man, and when he is nominated there will
be plenty of gentlemen ready TO show the
proof that they supported him from the
start. But there is matter further to be
considered, in reference TO the wishes of
Delaware. This is, that though her politi-
cal record is indeed a diamond Of the first
water, and her heroic action in being the
first to adopt and intending to be the last to
desert the Constitution, is now universally
acknowledged still it is not less true that
| Delaware's influence in the national council
of the Democracy is by no means what Do
yer considers it ought TO be. New York
Democrats think Delaware Democrats slight
" insane, and not especially valuable adyis
ers. They don't want Pendleton, or an.
other rabid ''sympathizer. Just that mai
is the one Dover is looking for.
In brief, the New York Convention doe
not intend to accept the advice or yield t
the dictation, of the partisan fanatics in til
"black belt. G. the Border States. TIL
perfect color blindness OF the latter's poi
ticians would rush forward to destruction
order to crafty their prejudices. But in III

the South is settled fact, and as for it any
where else, what odds does it make TO them

The denomination Of Hon. VIM. d. KEEL
ley to Congress, from the 18th Philadelphia
District, is one Of the most marked express
sions Of confidence from his constituents.
Judge Kelley is now serving his fifth term
in Congress, TO which he has been steadily
returned, by majorities largely increased
over that of his frs. election. His district
includes many of the manufactures OF Phil
adelphia, and the workingmen have watch
cd with pleasure and satisfaction his steady
and earnest devotion to the labor interests
Of the country. No man in Congress has
given larger attention to the facts OF oui
National Economy, and none have been
more comprehensive and statesmanlike in
their treatment of the subject.
AT the District Convention, Wednesday, tho
Judge was re-nominated by vote of Ct ou
of -, eight being scattering to other gentle
men. His nomination was then made unan
imous, and series of very complmentar,
resolutions adopted.

Brig. Gen. Llewellyn II. Haskell, of New
Jersey, was married At Orange on Thursday,
June 1. This young soldier who fought in
the first and last battle Of the war, who enter
ed ms a private and came out brigadier-
general. who was one Of the earliest officers
of the colored troops, and whose record of
of licroiSm is in the history Of twenty -onc
pitched battles, surrendered ut last to Miss
Emma A Gilmore. The marriage ceremony
was unique and beautiful. 1t was perform
ed in Llcwellyn Park under an ancient pine
tree, Just after sunrise. AS both groom and
bride hold extremely liberia, as distinguished
from orthodox, religious views, they re-
qucStrd the Rev. Henry Ward Bccchcr who
0illciated so fur to respect their canscien-
iious independence of cburchly ordinances
MS TO omit from the service any form OF
words based ON these. Accordingly, after
the young couple had presented themselves
on II moss-carrctcd spot, and were circlcd
at CLOSE distance by their friends, the
groom caspcd the brides hand, su, ing
81 take you, Emma for my wife, the
bride responded, Il take you Lirwellyn, for
my husband :" and Mr. licecher ud,led only
| these words "ln behalf oi sentiment of the
community in which we dwell, and Of the
laws, declare, in virtue of what yon have
now done, that you are husband aud wife,
May the love which has thus been declared
lie siiong tbs these cvcrgreens Throwing ut
their feet some cvcrgrcens and flowers To
endure the storms and winter of life, and us

then, stepping forward, threw down before
the married pair many handiuls of similar
dew-hcsprnkled offerings And this (to-
gc,hcred with multiludinous kisses, hand
shaking. and congraiulaiions) concluded y
ceremony which, to all who behcld il, APP

WE RESPECTFULLY URGE upon tho color
ed Republicans of the Border States not to
abandon their friendship for the party
which supports GRANT and CoLFAx. Judge
Chase, upon platform of Universal Am
nesty and Universal Suffrage, even though
he be the Democratic nominee, seems, we
admit, attractive, but there is further point
to be considered. Suppose the Democracy,
lemoralized as they now are, by the Chase
johnson influence, should give up the anti
niger card, send pundleton to the guilotine
and hoist the good banner of Universal SUI
frage, still they do not propose the RICH
means to secure the equal voting right
They leave the matter to State action, whicl
is slow, uncertain, and impractical. What
ever wiles may come from New York, tn
colored citizens should pause and considc
well before they accept

THE DEMOCRATS of New Castle County
arc amiable and meek in spirit, if nothing
more. They cheerfully submit to have the
same representation in the State Convention
that either of the other two counties has.
Equal representation is no part of their aspi-

meckness and humility. The Wilmington
Democracy are in still more discrcditable
position, neither asserting themselves, mol
welding such influence, as either their mum
