Mr. EDiToR Permit me to offer you my con-
gratulations for the bold and and manly manner
in which you have conducted the campaign
through your valuable paper. You have contri-
buted largely in bringing about such glorious
results. New Castle county, the stronghold OF
negrosm has been redeemed and the most un-
scruplous wretches left out in the cold for long
time to come. When we cast our eye over the
battle field and see the character of the slain,
I'VE almost wonder that such victory could
thaye fallen 10 our lot We he'd arrayed against
us Federal, County and Hundred ofiic:als with
their pointers, settlers and whippers-n, together
with any quantity of Ham Town negro manipu-
lators and landpasades ready and willing to dis
charge any mental duty called for and in perfect
keeping with the party to which they belonged +;
but thank God the Angelo Saxon, true to his
race, came to the rescue and drove back to their
caves and dens the congos and myrmidons OF
power and place. AT many voting places through
out the State trained negroes were sent TO the
polls, well equipped with clubs, pistols razors,
knives &C., for the purpose of intinidating and
driving white men frol. the poes but they did
not succeed. In st. Georges Hundred n des-
perate attempt was made, which resulted IN
free fight, leaving the white men victorious.
The colored troops fought bravely, but the con-
,temptible white trash who have drilled and pre-
pared them for the occasion, deserted them, too
s'cowardly and too mean to face white enemy
They could drill them in negro churches and in
their own paflOrb, Dut heIc ih'Her ueilCh'c
for open field exercise. Now after such results
As have described, let us claim for old st.
Georges the banner, for think she is justly en-
Titled TO the honor. With six hundred and thirty
five negroes assessed, against about the same
number of whites, is it not wonderful that such
a victory was. obtained. The result will calm
many mothers aching heart, to think for a
abort season. at least, that her little children will
NOT be crowded and slbowed in our free schools
nv Young negroes blessed thought;) our jury
box will also be clear af the poluting and degrad
ING stencil of negro aroma, and our county and
other officials will be swept away as with besom
of destruction When our newly elected Levy
Court takes their seats all the Big Jims will be
assigned their proper place among the niggers,
their proper companions.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in conclusion let us rejoice
over our hard fought battle and glorious victory !;
let white men and white women, everywhere re-
ioice, and in SO doing know of no better lam
guage to be employed than that used by a.strong-
minded woman of your town, on the occasion of
the celebration of the niger Fifteenth, last sum
mer. She arose from her step where she had
been enjoying the sweet companonship of big
fat negro wench, waving her handkerchief high
in the air and with stentoriau voice proclaimed,
Il shout and wave shout You Braves you have
fought for it and gained it, it has been long
time coming, } shogt:yop Brapesl' Could Ian
euage convey more, or sentiment assend higher
SO say, shout you Brave white men, you have
fought for it and victory is yours. JUSTICE
