WILMINGTON, AUG, Is, 1870.
To the Editors of the Republicans
AS there has been considerable
talk and lllibusterlng since our
county convention, which is calcu-
lated to work the Republican party
q serious injury in our country for
time to come; l think that we all
entered into Convention as true pol
itioians and were fairly beaten by
an unlocked for foe, and as true
lovers Of our party, we should sue
cumb and accept the situation.
Doubtless, many Of my friends
knew that | was q warm supporter
Of Colonel Loudon, and who above
all others was my choice, but as the
Hon. John A. Smith has been de-
olared the nominee by our District
Convention, it is time we drop all
faction and go to work harmonious
ly. In harmony there is strength.
Yours Respectfully,
GEO. NJ. ZEIGLER.

cinnati Editors in the interest Of
any ring whatever or wherever,
tits to be regretted that there is
an outside influence that has no
particular interest in the success Of
the Republican party, at work un-
der the guizc of friendship, that is
striving to widen the breach between
the friends of Messrs. Smith and
Loudon; and there is good reason
to believe that it is being done for
the purpose Of giving an advantage
to the Democratic candidate in the
District. We call then upon the
Republicans Of the district to be-
ware of these confidence game men
and papers. Their exhortations
and propositions may seem fair;
but as sure as there is a Judgment
day in the future, there is mischief
concealed under that meal.
Now, let us lay aside our person
al feelings, grid on our armor, and
60 forth in solid phalanx to the
contest, resolved on victory for our
candidate and the. principles Of the
gallant Republican party.

The Cincinnati Commercial,
with a great deal of UirtuoaS jndtg-
nation for "rings', has kindly vol
unteered its advice to the Republi-
cans of this District to withdraw
Hon. John A. Smith from the track
as their candidate for Congress,
charging that he was nominated by
the federal office, holding ring and
National Bank stock owners. We
would simply suggest to the Com
mercial that the Republicans Of this
district are abundantly able to man
age affairs for themselves, without
the interference of rings, or news
papers that have no interest in
common with the Republican party
of this district, If the Republi-
cans should be defeated in the dis
trict 1t will be by allowing them
selves to be distracted by outside
ring influences. We have no quar-
rel to make with any Republican
in thedistrict because he differs with
us in regard to the condition Of
things as they exist, But we think
a due regard to modesty would for
bid Cincinnati rings undertaking
the job Of running the political
contest in Ehe Sixth District, and
us what to do. Hands
off, gentlemen, The local presses,
which belong to no rings, under
stand the wishes Of the people in
the counties composing the District
better than you do.

Public Landa,

Notwithstanding the immense a.
mount of public lands that have been
given away to railroad companies,
and to actual settlers, Uncle Sam has
still on hand, or had on June 80, 1868,
1,4O5, 100000 acres of land, which is
equal to eighteen times the. area of
Great Britain and Ireland. The land
grabbe-s, by the aid of Congress there
fore, can go on without mnch fear of
running us short in the power to do
nate. The fact is that the United
States possesses the ability to buy, or
take by force from the neighboring
countries of Mexico and Great Brit
ain, more land, for generation to
come, than can be possibly stolen
from us by spectators. There is COM
fort in that thought. Already the old
Hudson Bay dependency, British Co.
lumbia, is talking of annexation to
this great republic, and both from ge-
ographical and political considerations
is being alienated from the British
Empire. The northern provinces of
Mexico are preparing to drop off ripe
fruit from the old and prematurely
decayed tree to which they have be-
longed, to fall into our hands. There
is not much danger of us, therefore,
being crowded for room.-E Enquirer.

Cnrrunfion at Work.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, of Jan.
3rd, says: We have reliable advices
from Columbus that leading Republi-
cans there are boasting that they will
buy up Democrats and County Re-
formers enough to rescind the resolu-
ton of the last General Assembly
which rejected the Fifteenth Amend
ment. This is to be done by the Ad-
ministration at Washington, which
has employed trustworthy agents to
offer consideration of salary OF con-
tract to that member or members who
will accept the bribe. 1t is deemed
important that some Democratic sup
port should be secured for this meas
ure, even if it is bought and paid for.
The interesting information we have
received will cause Democrats and Re-
formers to closely scrutinize the votes
of members on this question if it sho'd
come up, and mark their future trans
actions afterward. 1t will also give
them an idea of the honesty and in
tegrity of the powers that beat Wash
ington, that proposes such base offers
