Delaware tribune. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1867-1877, 1870-04-28

The colored citizens are beginning to dis
cuss politics among themselves. They don't
all think alike, as the Radicals expected.
We heard one of them remark the other day
that he really believed the Republicans cared
as little for him as the Democrats. Well,
we think they care good deal less. The
black man will find this out one OF these
fine days. .s.l
30 says the Cambridge, (Md.) Democrat
and Herald, the same paper, which went
of into so furious furry, upon the an
nouncement that the twenty-eighih State
had ratified the Amendment. 1t then pro-
posed to wage perpetual war upon the
colored men as voters; 10 print, Exclusively,
80 white mans paper" &C., &C. Now,
note the change. 1t is encouraged to hear a
colored man remark that he believes the
Republicans are no more his friends than
the Democrats 1t thinks for itself, that the
Republicans arc a good deal Tess the col
ored mans friends, than the Democrats !
and it closes by saying that ''one Of these
hne- a~ys," the colored voters will find that
out In other words, the Democrat and
Herdtd, and its party in Dorchester, pro-
pose to prove their friendship to colored
men, by a greater kindness than anybody
else can show.
Such are the whirligigs of Democratic
politics. They may be "while mans par
ty" one day, but as the shades of evening
gather, they are ready to chase around, in
lanes and alleys, 10 ''cultivaie," Gas Senator
Salisbury expresses IT'D the friendship of the
colored citizens.

The UNITED STATES SENATE, by the great
majority of 40 to 10, passed the bill making
an additional land grant to the Northern Pa
cific Railroad enterprise, on Thursday.
This llberality is attacked In some quarters,
but we conclude it to be just and wise as
sistance to great national work, that cenld
not be constructed without such aid. The
lands granted, and the millions of acres, ly-
ing beside them, not granted, arc compara-
lively valueless, till a railroad opens them 10
markets. Why this road should not be cared
for as the Union Pacific was, we fail to see,
and indeed, the management of the latter
have expressed no public objection, at all, to
the new road, nor to the bill passed by the
Senate. We understand their acquiesconce
in 1t to indicate that they look upon
the Northern route as entitled to the same
public consideration as themselves, and SO
it seems to us.
1t is understood that the projectors of the
new work are largely cur neighbors and
friends, in Pennsylvania. 1t will prove, no
doubt,a work ofgreat importance, not only to
Philadelphia, but to Wilmington. Thecharter
requires that it shall be built of American
iron or steel. only, and besides the thousands
of tons of rails thus required from the roll
ing mills of PhGnixville, Reading, Potts
willie, Harrisburg, and other cities, there will
be needed hundreds Of locomotives, tens of
thousands of car wheels, a hundred turn
tables, and an immense number of cars, all
of which will directly or Indirectly give con-
tracts to our skillful and prompt mechanics.
