HARD on THEM-The Wilmington Adrer-
t,srr, edited by John O'Byrne, thus twits the
"White Mans Party of this State:
"We simply call before the bar of public
opinion the white Mans Party" of this
State. That it is reactionary no man can
doubt. 1t advocates policy which is in Opposi-
ton to the philosophy Of Democracy-would
remand millions Of men into civic alienaee-
would take away from them the right to vote.
The same party IL this State has adopted the
worst Of the many bad heresies Of Republican
ism, to wit F: disrespect and disobedance to the
law of the land. commonly called the Higher
Law Doctrine" Is it true that the white
Mans Party" has adopted this Republican
heresy some will ask We answer, he that
aids, abets or counsels opposition to the provi-
sions of the Constitution, constructively rebels
against the majesty cf the law. and is guilty OF
having embraced the heresy of the Higher Law
Doctrine.

been made in this town tor the relief Of the
sufferers Of the West. last night the Young
Mems Christian Association of the NJ. f.

purpose of devising means to collect donations
from the citizens, appointed committees to
make the necessary arrangement to carry into
effect the purposes OF this highly Christian
enterprise. The Mayor Of Chicago informed
the country, a few days ago, that the City was
very much in need now and would probably
be all the winter, of potatoes, onions, beans,
and other vegetables which can be transported
and that any articles that can be of use among
the suffering thousands Of that chastened city
would be thankfully received. The members
Of the Y. NJ. &. A. will wait upon the citizen.
Of the town and vicinity aud ask donations Of
money, or any thing which may be either
converted to money, or sent on for the relie

to the importance of this work.

persisted all that is mortal Of one Of the best
representatives, of the Union element among

count OF any stubborn defence of the Charles

which he chose to defend his country's 1a1
