The two leading Democratic papers Of this
State are entirely silent on the 6 New Depart
ure." We haye no idea that they indorse it,
but they are afraid to oppose it. We're an
election held next fall they might come out in
opposition to it, avering, as they doubtless
would, that the sentiments of the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Tennessee were not
the sentiments of the Democracy of Delaware
But by the time the Presidential election
comes off the New Departure doctrines will be
incorporated into the National platform of the
party, which will be as much the sentiments of
Delaware Democracy as any other, unless the
party has two wings, as in 1860 They doubt
less see that they will have to come to it, so
they will keep quiet and sneek in. We said
last fall, the ~ white mans party" cry would
end with that campaign, and the next contest

MARYLAND LABOR CONVENTIONAL
Thursday last Labor and Immigration Con
ventiOn assembled in Baltimore, the object be
ing to induce foreign immigration to Maryland
Most of the counties were represented. Amons
the propositions was one by Col. Earle, o
Queen Annes, to appropriate, out of the Stat
treasury, the sum of $3.50 900 to induce for
eign emgrants to settle in the State. In re
ferring to this proposition the Easton Star
tie Democratic organ Of Talbot, thus refers t
the class of men the State desires as settlers
and which the Star likes so we'll as voters:
In December last the Convention thought
State appropriation Of 100000 would be am
ply sufficient to fill up the waste places i
Maryland with diapidated Dutchmen. Tn
late war having thinned out the Germans an,
put up the price Of Dutchmen Col. Earl
thinks now it will take State appropriation q
$230,000 to do the business. BY the time tn
Legislature meets the demand will in all prob;
bility be figured up half million of dollar
The argument seems to be that Maryland lane

crops are light in consequence Of drought an

million OF dollars to stock the State with Ge

STRAwBERRIEs.-Mr j. P. Dickson and
j. d. Boggs, Agents of Brenford and Moorton
Stations, have kindly furnished US the amount
of their strawberry shipments for the present
season, which foot up as follows, in compari-
son with last year:
1871 1870
Brenford, 10000 qts., 4O,979 qts.
Morton, 1000 = 1850
The former station is the shipping point fol
the growers of Smyrna and vicinity, and i:
perhaps the champion berry station on the
railroad, though Dover claimed the cham
pionship before the shipments commenced
The total shipments from that station were
69,673 quarts. This shows remarkable in
crease, and iustifes Mr. Boggs' prediction o
last year, that the yield would be thribbed
We had intended to give the largest individua
yields, but could not get some Of them in time
so we would defer their publication until mex
week. The shipments from Clayton were q
600 quarts. Last year-2O, 900.

a SAMPLE ECONOMIST.

Speaker Blaine is in .~predicament.
With every disposition to do the Demo
cratic members of Congress full justice in
the appointment Of committees, he still
has some responsibility in the matter
which must make him CAREFUL in this re-
gard hereafter. When he appointed the
committee to investigate the ku-klux out
RACES in the South three Democrats were
selected and put upon he'committee in
order that both sides might be fairly rep
resented IN any investigation that might
be Instituted. These Democrats, it seems.
were the most expensive members that
were employed. each one of them drawing
over a thousand dollars, while the Repub-
licans contented themselves with such infe-
rlor sums as three and five hundred dollars
apiece. Congress can never introduce
civil service reform while it insists on Civ
ing the Democrats a chance at the treas
ury. Representative Kerr, of Indiana,
who is Il Of the big Democratic shot
guns that came. down TO Louisiana two or
three years ago to eI.ighten Us about the
branches OF government, drew something
over twelve hundred dollars. If he will
down here again and explain his
board bid, his speech will be listened to
some interest.

be" and the Democrats know from expe-
rience that when George w. Carter re-
gains his strength 'the devil a monk is
he" In some instances, as shown by the
report Of the experts of the Eighth Dis
trict Court, Speaker Carter and his chair
man Of the Contingent Expenses Commit
tee have permitted, if not assisted,
in using the names Of Democratic men,
bers to fraudulently draw money from
the State treasury. Those so outraged
will probably take occasion to express
some little Of the Indignation they feel,
when the question of the Speakership
comes up next Monday. 1fthey do not, it
will be difficult to convince the people
that the profits of the n~efarious transac-
tons referred to did not find entrance
into their pockets.
But we have little fear on this score so
far as the majority are concerned. The
Customhous-concocted plot, with its
glitte,ing reform bait for the membe RS.
and its more valuable (and portability adj
jlnctS for the wireworkers, must fail. Mr..
Carter will be retired, and the Democrats
can find abundant opportunity to crafty
their desires for reform in pushing
through the measures which the Repub-
lican party will institute.

SKILL AND LABOR THROWN AWAY,

Come into my parlor said the spider
to the fly" Come into No. g. Custom
house street, cry several ambitious young
sp1nners OF Democratic proclivities to
their brothers Araneidn who represent
Democratic parishes in the Legislature;
we have prepared for YOU there ssthe
prettiest little parlor that you ever did
spy"
Such, i'll substance, is the announce
ment made to the country members
through the New Orleans Times, while
really they are iattered into a belief that
they are wanted to consult Oh matters of
reform" This is a repetition of the
same old game that has time and again
been played upon the Democratic legisla-
tors. A few inscriptions men in this
city have set themselves up as leaders
and opponents of Democratic sentiment
and policy for Louisiana, and By a vigor-
u application Of the party lash seek to
compel Senators and Representatives to
vote in a way that will promote whatever
selfish scheme they may happen to have
on hand at the time.
At present they have gone in With the
C~ustomhouse faction, but what the con-
sideration is has not yet transpired. They
cloak their designs with demands for
''retorm, but their real object is to con-
tinue Speaker Carter in the position from
which the Republicans have determined
to expel him on account Of his gross mis-
use of its powers.
In so far as this scheme looks to a
widening of the breach in the Republican
ranks, We can believe many of the Demo-
cratic members would countenance it as
sound political strategy; but that, even to
gain a temporary party advantage, they
will support a man proven utterly IN
worthy, simply because be processes re-
p%entance and promises to amend his

TIE POLITICAL PROSPECT.

The Republican members of the Leois
la.ure are daily arriving in this city, and
almost without exception they confirm
the cheering assurance given by the Re.
publican State Committee in its recent
address, that o party has again been
consolidated Private advices from other
sources, as we'll as the country press, give
additional proof that this is not an over
confident assertion, and we may safely
congratulate our readers upon the fact
that there exists to-day a greater unanim-
ity ofsentiment and fraternal regard among
the local leaders and masses Of our party
throughout the State than at any time for
nearly a year past.
The fight with the f~actionists is virtu-
tually ended. Based upon selfish ambi-
tons, and sustained by demagogues' arti-
fees, there was at no time a possibility of
their obtaining a lasting hold upon the
popular mind and heart but the forced
and unforeseen exposure of their plots, as
developed by the unexpected election for
a Lieutenant Governor, struck them the
death-blow at an earlier day than the most
sanguine had reasen to expect. The fu-
ture is o bright before us, and the Re-
publican party Of Louisiana need only be
true to itself in order to perpetuate its
government Of equal privileges and pro-
lection for an indefinite period.

George Alfred Townsend, in a late letter,
says Of the Democracy: 'The Democratic

the difficulty of making anything out of its
ruins. l have seen about a dozen Demo-
cratic members of Congress here, and they
all look upon any new party utilization with
that sort of apprehension that an old poor
house vagrant does when you begin to sug-
gest any new proposition Of pauper reform.
Many of these Democrats fear to break up
their grOg caucuses at home, of which they
now pull the strings by a sort of automatic
genius, while any change might result in
their replacement by better men under the
new coalition. This makes them all stand

GENERAL SHELDON AND HIS LEVEE

Oar Representative in Congress from the
Second District has been made the victim
OF a typographical error. Like a good many
OF his constituents, he partially pre-
pares his copy for the printers, rushes to
the Office and has everybody put to work
on the halt finished scheme, and then
forgets all about it until he sees it in print.
The generals case may serve to point a
moral, namely: Don't. go fooling around
a printing Office with blanks in your
articles. Time, tide and the compositor
wait for no man. And as our dist:n-
guished Congressman could not recollect
the names OF his constituents in time
for their insertion in that fatal
blank, it was closed. and he suffered
for a time under the imputation that had
forgotten Gs political friends, at the
wrong moment while those who have
never been ranked as such were fresh in
his memory. We subjoin a note Of ex-
PLANTATION Just received from General
Sheldon:
HORSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
Washington, u. C., December 81, 1871.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In reply to the criticisms on the levee
bill. III your paper of the sixteenth instant.
please do me the favor to insert this note:
Ne manuscript of the bill contained a
large blank for the insertion of other names
from louisiana. as incorporators. and in the
second section there was also a large blank
for the insertion of other names from Louis
lana and other States, as a committee to
call the meeting of the incOrporators, but
the printer, without my knowledge, closed
up the blanks in printing the bill. No design
to ignore anybody or show partially. Con-
siderable interest is felt in the levee Gues-
ton, but it will require the united, vigorous
and persistent efforts of all the people of the
lower Mississippi valley to pass a subsidy
bill. care nothing for what may be said
of me, personally, in comparison to the
anxiety | feel in regard to the accomplish
ment of the great measure weso much need.
