bred, in the State NV Delaware 7
September Is. 1870.
The leading Democrats Nv Maten's Cor
ners held meeting last night in the sittin-
room attached to Bill Sapp's, for the pur-
pose NV takin sich ackshen cz mite be
deemed necessary to swell the Democratic
majority Nv the Corners ez large ez it could
be by square vOtin. We shell only rcpeet
ez much ez may be necessary to save the
State. and allow one or two hundred voters
to 90 over into some counties IN Pennsyl-
vania.
Bill Sapp was made chareman. witch so
elated him that he at wunct drawd "a five
gallon key NV kind NV whiskey they make
in Moo Jersey out of apples, witch he made
free to all Nv us for that evenin only. After
an hour spent in conversational drinkin, we
proceeded to the biznes witch he'd called us
together.
Tommy Potts sed that he knowd a Proc
shen witch lived on the edge wv the village,
and he would therefore offer the followin
resolution:
Resolred, That in the present struggle be-
twixt Prooshen liberty and French despOt-
ism, the sympathies Nv the Democrisy NV
the corners is wholly and entirely with
Prooshy.
Bill Sapp knowd NV an Englishman near
the Corners, and offered this rcsoloOshen:
Resolred, That the Dimocrisv Nv Misi,il
lion Hundreds declare their mistaken con
fdence in England, and their undated aid
mirashen Nv the English karicter.
There alluz hez bin three Irishmen Twin
in the Corners, and the following resoloo-
ehnn WIZ therefore passed enthusiastically:
Resolred, That the Democrisy NV Mas
tens Corners do hereby express their sym
patty with Ireland sutferin ez she alluz
WIZ under the graspin, crOOel, merciless
and grindin tyrany NV England, in whose
buzzum Their is neither pity nor justis.
Their is two Frenchmen runnin barberin.
Clothes-repairing, ETC.. i'll the village, there
fore the follOwin resolCeshen was passed:
ResOlred, That the DemOcrisy NV Mastcn's
Corners do, and ever shell, sympathize with
the strugglin French republic, agin the
tyrant Willyum Of PrOOshy, witch is assault
in France, is piercin the Goddess Nv Lib
erty with bayonets.
After this wuz passed there WIZ hitch
occurred in reference to it. One of NV the
Frenchmen wuz a Red Republican, the
tother was an Imperialist, and it wuz
amended so az to read that we sympathized
with the Emperor Napoleon i'll his misfor-
choons, and with the French people in
whatever they hev done or may hereafter
do-wich will capcher EN- both.
Ithamar Meggs reported that very old
Italyun, retired Organ-grindcr, had set
tied in the visinity of the village. on an
aker or two he had bought, and a resoloo-
shun wuz adopted sympathisin with Italy.
but ez he coodent speek English we coodent
assertane whether he sympathized with the
Pope or with Garabaldi, or whether he
didn't care a continental for eithur NV EN-,
and so the resolushun he'd to be stranglcd.
We passed resoloOshens sympathisin with
the Cuban patriots, and with the Spanish
o,,l !, oh, nf1 n1If
Wuz represented, ez neer ez we Good find
out, in the State.
At this pint Bill Sapp remarkt that so far
the resolOoshens he'd the look NV svmpa-
thisin with most everybody: to give a dash
nv variety woodcnt it be well enuff to de
nOunce some Onel
Simon Wagner believed Mr.. Sapp's seies-
ton, like his lkker, WIZ eminently good,
and he wood. sejest the Chinese ez people
which Good be denounst with safety.
Bill Sapp enquired if eny OF the Chinese
had votes.
| ansered in the negative, nor WIZ there
any prOspeck that they ever wood hev.
.'Hev they any friends - ask Bill.
"Nary one, anywhere" | ansered.
will they ever hev any friends p askt
Not outside of Massachusetts. and ez
ther trends there all wear clean shirts we
may be shoor that they are to a iman IN
deadly opposishen to Dmocrisy'
Then sed Bill, Its our dooty ez Dino
krats to give EN- hell and he moved a
resolOoshun denounsin NV EN- ez incapable
Nv civilizashun, Ell bein foreigners witch
come to Ameriky to take the bread ont NV
the mouths of struggin Amcrikin, French,
German, Irish, Italyan and English labor
ers, and denouncin the Radikal party tor
backin Nv EN-.
These resolushuIis out of the way, Bill
WIZ sufficiently mellered and recbiis ez TO
order in another five gallons Nv lillkcr over
which we organized Temperance and Pro
hibishen party. With an unseltishness
witch hez bin only paralleled i'll Moo York.
Moo England, and in some DISTRICTS in
Ohio, we rendered the nominashens to Re
publikins. This, We rather think, will
divide the Republican vote of the State and
counterbalance all the good they git from
the niger vote
There Is ez much politikle sagassity in
delaware ez hev ever seen anywhere
