We're glad it was done.
The great feture of the occasion was the
speach of the Hon. Mr.. Salisbury, Senator.
Only to think A Honorable Senator to
speak And he is a nifty man-it took two
men to help him into the stand, but l tell
you he didn't want any body to help him
to speak. I tell you it was techin' seen,
tn see the Honorable Senator standin
with no one to stiddy him, his nifty he'd
Il heavin' and a throbin' with the grand
idecs that struggled and serged for utter
ance; and tn see the crowd a pressin' round
to cetch the strains of his matches elo-
quence while cheer after cheer rent the air.
the bell tollin' all the time i'll honor of the
bursts of cloquence, which ever and annon,
flowed like a river from ekhaustless source,
o it was grand, it was sublime, it was in
discretable
l will not attempt even tn outline his
speach more to say that he argued in ia
YOUR of buildin' up their own institutions
and keepin' their money at home, and l
wus afeard the tariff men would ask him if
he ment facturies as well as Schools which
mite hev split the effet of his speech, but
not one of them dared tn cheer. In one of
his bursts of patriotism he exclaimed
I" Breathes there man with soul so dead
A nasty, drunken copperhead-
That would disown his native land.
I'm not sure that's exactly rite, for I'm
not good at poetry, and they say this is Eng
lish poetry, and | hate 'em SO like pisen that
don't kecr whether | quote EN- rite or
rong, so I git the sence rite. When the
Honorable Senator finished, if you'd
hurd the shoutin' you'd thought it was
young earthquake had come down. l ac-
tualy slept back to keep clear of the trees
which l was afeard mite be overturned, and
mite fall on me but no SIGH accident re-
suited tn mar the pleasure of the meetin.
There wus sum more speakin, but nothin
Of no occount; the CRATE gun of Delaware
had ben fred and what followed were but
popguns compared. The echo's of that
speach will rise and SWELL and reverbarate
throughout the extent of Delaware, until
the people of Delaware, stirred by its noble
sentiments shall rejuvinate q think that's
it) their dilapidated Delaware College
Then will Delaware SONS not be forced to
leave their native Delaware to spend their
dads solid cash in Northern Institutions, a
larnin' Abolitionism and other kindred
isms: but will be trained up in true anti
sectional Delaware Nationality.
After the Hon. Senator he'd poured out
SIGH stream of eloquence, his CRATE he'd
grew lite and he required to have the bal
ance restored by pourin' in an equal amount
of something else.
The College is to be opened in year
from next September, and will be sich
consarn as Delaware may delite in and be
justly proud of. The Honorable Jefferson
Davis is to be President his last Presiden-
cy didn't amount to much though, but his
friends here, who are numerous, think they
see i'll him the true conservative elements;
and assure him he'll find it pleasant re-
treat-not from Wilson cavalry-but from
who sympathise with him. and who would
have helped him if it could have ben dun
without danger or cost. The selection of
Mr.. Davis must give the College high
rank from the start. judge from the cheers
given for General r. Z. Lee when his name
was mentioned that he'd make Il popular
and acceptable Professor of Mathematics
Fur the chear of Astronomy the late Adj
neral Raphael Simmes of the late Confid-
crate States late navy, has claims that
could hardly be set aside; he could also
teach Navigation and the art of swimmin'
in case of accident. Fur Professor of
Chemistry, can think of he one more
eligible than tho Hon. John IIarraldson,
late Commissioner of the Bureau of Mining
in the late Confederate States. His achieve
ments in that line cannot fail to be CRATE
fully remembered by every lover of the
{" lost cause
As this is to be Agricultural consarn,
and ditchin is useful to Delaware
sile, name Central George B. McCle!len
for that chear, by the time he gifts the
Stephens battery finished, which may be in
the next ten years, the College will be redy
and he can take the Agricultural depart
ment, where his extensive practice at ditch
in may be turned to account. The thing
would hardly be complete without that
CRATE man Andrew Johnson in the chear of
Rhetoric. His extensive practice, and the
finished style of his speeches, seem to pint
him ont as the man for the place.
So you see that with sich a faculty, there
is brite future for Delaware College, and
through its means, fur the little Diamand
State, and for the distinguished personages
named above, future briter than their
past, JONATHAN UPTON.
