WILMINGTON, May IS.
MEssEs EDIToRs The people of Delaware
arc about TO enter upon one Of the most momcn-
tous struggles of her political history; struggle
In which the cliques, who have mismanagcd the
affairs of the State for a number of years, and
converted her government into an instrument of
oppression and misrule will leave no effort, that
long experience In political rascality can suggest,
untricd, not only to retain their present power,
but to bind the chains still closer upon tho peo-
pie of Delaware, and TO enable them to carry
out Few schemes of taxation, and plumber Of the

While The names of number of men have
been suggested, who without doubt will answer
the above requisites and whose records are un.

mass of Republican voters. would suggest, 10
addition, for The office of Governor, the name Of
james Riddle Esq, of Christiana Hundred, as
answering oil the requisites in a pre- eminent

Mr.. Riddle is one of our best known citizens

won for him the esteem of all who know him.

One of the most singular sights growing
out oil the war is a continuous line Of peach
trees of nearly fifty miles in length, around
Petersburg, and exter dug toward Rich

the only legacy left by the poor fellows who
were on the advance line within one hundred

The NJ. L. Conference of East Maine has
acted on the question of lay delegation, the
vote being 43 yeas to "A nays. This which
was the last vote to be taken in America,

yet to vote, but its action will 2nOt change
the result. Tue restriction as TO represen

the church will be duly represented in its

rejoice over the plshment OF their
earnest and honest desire; but in no spirit
of.unkindness toward those who, with equal
honesty of purpose, opposed this innovation
and the latter, doubtless will willii ely con-
form to the legal decision of the question,
which has at last been fairly reached.
