The Wilmington Commercial gives tho
following graphic account Of an interview
with Senator Saul,bury:
Shortly before so'clock this morning,
Senator saulsbury called at the Commercial
Office. He arrived in Wilmington last
week hut had hitherto neglected to sec us.
Up 10 some time on Saturday the Senator
had maintained the newly formed temper.
ance reputation Of the Wilmington Democ.
racy. At that time somebody persuaded
the Senator to take something. Since then
the Senator has felt that his foot was upon
his native heath. Fun, frolic, and faniil.
iarity inspired his condition. The sports
Of his happy. hours upon the Diamond at
Georgetown arose in his recollection. The
Senator has ruined the whole Democratic
party's character. Its breath smells. This
We regret, but cannot help.
Mr.. Saulsbury's appearance in the Com.
meraal Office was to some degree unexpect.
cd. lie came in to pu. up the money In a
little bet Of 5000 on the election. His
dress was respectable, bis boots blacked,
his hair rather awry, and his manner sport.
i've in the extreme. lie addressed tho Com.
mereial in familiar style, nlluding TO Il in
term. not complimentary, and proposing to
devote It to uses which its fair pages do not
deserve. He testified his appreciation of
It, however. by offering to subscribe, and
profession his readiness to draw check Of
$50 IN payment. A considerable number
Of people having gathered around, the Sen.
ator invited them up to the counter To
drink, and to tho scandal Of all good pco'
pic, called OIL Mr.. Jersey, principal pill.
lar Of the Good Templars, to set out the
bottles. This conduct Of the Senator was
painful 1t indicated how completely the
tcmpennces spirit Of our Democratic oppo.
nents has fed. Several gentleman, fearing
Tint our visitor was troublesome, asked him
TO accompany them to his hotel, This,
however, he presistcntly declined. and ex.
pressed his intention to remain sometime.
Our young friend Of sixteen years, Charley
Wiggins,' having suggested doubt as TO
whether the Senator had rs much loose
change in his pockets rs the bets he was
offering to 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. lie
further intimatcd desire to chas,ise Char
ley, nu,l shook the Senatorial fist ia a very
menacing manner. Gentlemen, ho said,
always had money-plenty um money
We have no objection to people express
Ing their views on political topics, but we
think the Senator meant 10 insult us when
ho swung his Int. and said: "H'or, boys
Les give thr.cheers T. Democratic party,
right here in C'mercial OFFS" This was
too much. It was more than sportive. For
Senator Salisbury, Of Georgstown,to come
into tho front Office ofihe Daily Commercial,
at an early hour on Monday morning, and
in the presence Of largo and excited
crowd to swing his hat and propose three
cheers for tho Democratic party, fright
here in C'mercial Office" Is too much. We
don't mind little profanity, and We eau
stand great deal OF vulgari,y, when We
consider tina, the speaker is only The rep.
resentntiyc Of Delaware in the Senate Of the
United States but there is point, as the
Declaration Of Independence pcrtincn.ly
remarks, beyond which endurance ceases
10 be virtue.
