ayENA TOR BA YARDS MONARCH
Ty1T

We have already stated that Senator
Bayard, of this State, was an opponent of
Democratic institutions, and that he desired
to take away the ballot from large portion
of the people of Delaware. We said so,
and proved 1t out Of the Senator's own
speech, published in his own party paper.
But that paper, (the Gazette of this city,
fearing to be responsible for such aristo-
cratic, monarchical expressions, tries to
wriggle the unfortunate Senator out Of his
tight place, by pretending that the express
sions quoted referred only to negro suffrage,
and that he was willing white men should
continue to vote. 1t says We" distort' his
speech.
Now we did not " distort" his remarks,
and do not need to, to show his thorough
contempt for popular government, an gene
raj suffrage Of the people. He said, and we
quoted him, previously as now, verbatim !:
" Il am one of those sOho haze Tong be-
lieved that already the suffrage in this
" country aUas far too s0ideiy ertended-'
This expression is as plain as the nose on
your face or the ears on the Gdsette's
head. Mr.. Bayard never saw, or heard, Of
any large number of colored citizens voting,
in this couatry, till within three years. He,
therefore, does not refer to negro suffrage,
when he says he has g long believed, that
too many men had the ballot. Why does
his party paper thus lie about him Why
misrepresent the man, when he is proud o.
his views" which are "not new," ant
"not newly expressed r. Mr.. Bayard is
and does not otherwise pretend himself, al
advocate of narrowing the range of suffrage
He thinks it is not only in the hands ofsomt
people,-a few NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
classes-who should not possess the "privi
lege," as he calls it, but thatft is ".far"-
mark the expression" far too widely ex
tended"
Now, what is the use, we ask again, o
the Gazette misrepresenting Mr.. Bayard
Believing sincerely, as he no doubt does, tina
far too many men already vote,in Delaware
he must desire, and does naturally desire, a
the result of his convictions, to take til
suffrage away from large number Of thos
people. We, therefore, say again, and an.
man capable of comprehcnding the Englis
language willagree, that Senator Bayard G
Delaware is an aristocrat, an enemy to pop
ular government, and an advocate of th
disqualification of large mass of our pre-
sent voters

IT IS AFFIRMED that Chief Justice Chase

men however, show firm front for ratifi-
cation, one of them, Mr.. Yeatman, having
himself introduced the resolution to approve
the amendment, into the Senate. The Gin

THE WELLS REPORT

The report Of Special Revenue Commits
sloner, David A. Wells, to Congress, is ap-
parently a document of great value, prepared
with fairness, and containing important
statistical information. But like that pre-
sented by him, year ago, 1t is deceptive in
its pretensions to accuracy. 1t fails in the
precise particular, wherein SO much is
claimed for it. An important error IN it's
statements has already been corrected, name
ly, the allegation that pig iron is now being
produced at cost of from twenty-four to
twenty-six dollars per ton, by the large fur
naces of Pennsylvania. On the contrary,
large number Of the most extensive furnace
owners have Joined in certificate, the cor
rectness of which they desire Congress to
test, showing the average cost to be from
twenty mine to thirty dollars, while they
consider their location, and other circum-
stances, enable them to produce it much
cheaper than many other furnaces.
This is but single instance of Mr.. Wells
unreliability. We are glad to know that
the numerous inaccuracies. to call them by
no harsher term, which he has so formally
presented to Congress, arc about to receive
thorough overhauling at the hands of Judge
Kelley of Philadelphia. Mr.. Kelley is
thoroughly familiar with the matters upon
which Mr.. Wells has spoken, and his pres
entation of facts and figures is always over
whelming. We sincerely believe Mr.. Wells
report to be an unreliable and deceptive
document, written in the interest OF Free
Trade theorists, and intending to aid their
efforts by display of figures which are
intentionally garbled, or are equally bad,
through the pure inability of their author
to see any but his own side Of the question.
The country will await Judge Kelley's dis
cussion of them with great interest.
