Mr.. Nasby Gives Description of the
Democracy of Delaware.

MAsrEN's CORNER, MIsPILIoM HUNDRED.
In THE STATE OF DELAWARE, June, 1870. !
The people nv the State of Delaware or
rather the Democracy Of Delewarr, come
nearer to my idee Nv what Dimocrats ought
to be than any hev ever come across yit.
The Kentuckian is good, but hcv soen
kentuckians who WIZ restless and discon-
tented. 1 hev knowcd NV Kentuckians who
did take stock in railways, who did now and
then nail up the clap-boaYds on their houses
when they had become loose, and who did
wear shoes IN summer.
But no Dimocrat NV Delaware wuz ever
knowd to do Anything of the kind They are
intensely religious people, with faith in
Providence which I never saw surpassed,
They biecve that the same Providence which
brout 'cm into this world will take kcer NV
en-, and they let him DO it with an easiness
and abandon wich to me is delightful. The
most satisiyin' spectacle my eyes ever rest
cd onto Is in the front porch NV Sopp's
grocery at this present time. There they set
leanin back on them unwhittled chairs, (no
Delaware Dimocrat ever whittles) with
their feet onto the rail in front of 'em, each
with his head lying Autwise on the wall, and
fast asleep.
All is still The flies buzz peacefully
about their noses, which ornaments temp6
them by their joociness, but repel 'cm by
their red-hot brilliancy. Like everything
else about this section, the flies is and us-
decided lot. But ever and anon one fly moro
hungry than his fellows, lites on the nose of
some slumbeing patlach he bites; the Saint
makes an exertion to brush him of, and
aMaEes, ,NS;a, Nv, Awasln, n he takes drink, after
winch a"aNes all the resi-, VINO also take .
