HOW THE ''poLLIEs' WERE BEATEN IN KENT
--aooDINo FOR SPEAKER OF THE SENATE.
Correspondence Of the Commercial.
DOVER. Nov. 16.
Now that the smoke of the political battle has
cleared away we have an opportunity OF viewing
the field, and beholding the means made use of
in Kent county, by the saulsburyites, to..prevent
the success Of the Independent Democratic
ticket. There is no Disgusting the fact that the
'sRing' we're seriously alarraed when the Indc-
pendents threw their banner to the breeze, with
"Opposition to the House Of Salisbury" in
scribed upon it. It is confidently asserted by
responsible gentlemen Of the Democratic faith,
that at the Commencement Of the Independent
movement the Democratic clubs. in the
Forests, in the Western part of the county
declared iu favor Of the opposition. This to the
Ring was serious feature of the campaign.
Alarmed at the ambitions movements. and crack
Of the imperial lash Of "Gove, Willard, Eli d
Co." even these denizens Of the woods rebelled.
The usual means were applied. to bring the
rebels to subsection. Ambassadors from the
Royal household were dispatched to Mispillion,
North and South Murderkill, West Dover and
Kenton to hurl the "Anathemas" of the family
upon the heads of their former devoted and
traotable subjects. The command was given
I" To your allegiance ye rebellious sons Of the
House of Cove" But, to the astonishment Of
the whippers-in, came the defiant answer
Down with the Saulsburys." Quaking from
head to foot the emissaries of the Royal House
found that the party lash had lost Its terror;
other means must be resorted to-. Offices in
profusion are promised. It is said by knowing
ones that for every Office in the gift Of the family
at least dozen in each Hundred are informed
that they are the very persons selected Tor the
place. But even these promises which had
always before been made only to be violated,
failed to have the desired effect. What then
must be done? The truth at last forced itself
on the Governor, that nothing short Of a pre-
tended total surrender of the power exercised by
the family would pacify his heretofore loyal
subjects. 1t was evident that the surrender
must be made, or the Independents would carry
Kent county, the Republicans New Castle county,
and insure the election of Smithers to the
United States Senatet to occupy brother Wizards
seat.
Accordingly the surrender is made, and the
Forest Democracy are assured that If they would
but vote the regular Democratic ticket, only this
one time more, that neither Willard, Cove or Eli
would be candidates for the seat in the U. s.
Senate. The result Of the surrender is known,
the independents were defeated, and the Ring
again triumphant, but whether the Salisbury
promises will not be like many others, easy
broken, remains yet to be seen.
Then who is to be United States Senator
Would you believe it, O, people Of Delaware,
that unless the Salisbury promise is violated,
the carpet Dagger, Hon. ex-Congressnan Buch-
anan's ex-Auetrian Minister ; ex-Reverend, J.
Clancy Jones, with little over years residence
in the State is the accepted candidate of the Ring
Democracy of Kent county. Ask Forest DEM
ocrat who is to be U. s. Senator, he will answer
J. Clancy Jones, and scout the idea of Sauls.-
bury being candidate. 1t will be remembered
that within the recollection Of the present gen.
Grafton Hon. J. Clancy Jones was the only
Democratic candidate that was defeated in Berks
county, which has o steady Democratic majority
Of about 5000. Honest German John Schwartz,
proved too much for him in 1858 and was elected
by 10 majority over the Hon. ex-Congressman,
ex-Minister who expects to step into the shoes
of Willard Verify the world moves when carpet
baggers cease to be odious to the Delaware
Democracy.
The Speakershipof the Senate being conceded
to New Castle county, it is supposed that Chas.
mington, will be the successful candidate. The
Speaker of the House will undoubtedly come
from Kent, but who the successful man will be,
does not vet appear. KENT.
