IGNORING GREELEY IN DELAWARE.

The Middletown Transcript, one of our Della
ware Democratic papers which repudlates Gree
ley, urges that the Electors to be nominated
at Dover. tomorrow, be unpledged to any
candidate for President, and especially empow-
cred to cast the vote of the State for any person.
" as they may think best, at the time OF the
election by the Colleges" This course, the
Transcript thinks, will avoid committing Demo-
Gratis " to the principles which they abhor, set
forth in the platform adopted at Baltimore. 1t
proceeds to argue in favor of the proposition, as
follows
- The wisdom of this course seems to be too
apparent to require any argument to enforce H.
II Mr.. Greeley ID going to win the race so trl-
umphantly as his friends and advocates boast
that he is-if there is such groundswell at the
North for him as they claim-then what good
can be accomplished by Delaware taking any
part in it
On the contrary if it should happen that
there is no such groundswell in his favor, then
the Delaware Democrats will be saved the hu-
initiation and modification of their own yolunta-
ry, unnecessary self-abasement.
e To vote for Greeley all Democrats in Della
ware admit will be bitter pill, at best--a
choice between two candidates each UNIT and
whose platforms they spurn.
The Democratic party as such, Is no more
bound by the action of the Baltimore Conven-
tlon than as Judge Stephens said in substance
in his great speech short time before his
death, any Christian people would be bound by
convention of theirs which should ignore
Christ and declare for Mahomet-which should
take down the Cross, and erect the Crescent in
stead.
Such, also, is the opinion of many Delaware
Democrats, who, under no circumstances, will
do an evil because they cannot do good II the
Democrats want to keep the State in their own
hands, let them act without reference to the do
ings of the Baltimore Convention"
We quote from the Transcript, at som'
length, in order to show the feeling of hundred
OF Democrats in Delaware, concerning the dis
graceful bargain agreed upon at Baltimore
They believe, as their newspaper declares, tina
Mr.. Greeley is unfit to be President; the
"spurn the platform on which he is presented
their party is not in the least bound by the &C
tion at Baltimore and under no circumstance
will they " do an evil, by voting for Greeley.
AS for the proposition which the TranscrI
makes, it will hardly be adopted. The New De
parturists, who so for Greeley vigorously, wi
compel the electors to be definitely named q
his representatives.

visit from Norrislown-PcrsOnuI.

On Friday, (why wasn't this item inserted in
Saturday paper y Mr.. Wills, proprietor Of the
Norristown DAILY Herald, and John II. Williams,
his versatile Assistant, formerly of the CONNER
cIAI, and Chas. T. Miller and II. X. Weand Esqs.,
leading members of the bar of Montgomery
county paid our city visit. They all have a
high opinion Of Norrstown--whie undoubtedly,
is a very pretty town-but their characteristic
candor and truthfulness impeled them to say
that Wilmington was really city entitled to re-
nown, with first class Opera House, and fine
new Hotel, fast ripening. Mr.. Miller is the
candidate named by the Republicans of Mont
gomery county, 4 there are 1000 of them and over,
for Associate Law Judge, in the district com
posed Of Montgomery and Bucks countie.. He
would make an excellent judicial officer.
Our friends are all strong supporters of Gen
eral Hartranft. They know him well and init
mately, and have watched his career civil and
military, since lie came to Norristown, studen
at law, and, little later, responded, among the
very first, to the call for the defence OF til,
Tnion. Captain Weand assures us that he ha
no doubt of General Hartranfts election. He i

A sad Family Quarrel.

That distressing squabble among the Demo-
cratic editors of this State continues. The Ded-
7carean calls the Sussex Journal the "Lunatic,' y
and insists that the Smyrna IHteligencer has sold
out to the "disorgani2ers" at much more than
lis true value. All this is very sad and induces
melancholy reflections Since our venerable op-
ponents were moon-struck at Baltimore it may
be true enough that there is lunacy among the
editors Of their newspaper organs. To ask the
Delaware Democracy to vote for Horace Greeley
for President is enough to turn their heads and
confuse their understandings. But Colone
Townsend Of the journal, is not a lunatic, al
the Dover Junta will discover. We call him til,
Young David of Old Sussex, and greatly enjo
seeing him sling his sling.

first labors were in Presbyterian church on

their labors, and there was great religious inter

where many families from distant places came in
wagons and camped in the woods. This was the

A Railway Impreyelnent

Various contrivances have been devised for
indicating in the cars the name OF the station at
which the train is next to stop but no one OF
them has been generally adopted. Something
Of the kind is certainly needed, and in England
a patent has been taken out by which this in
formation is given through indicators in each
car, which are worked by COMPRESSED air con-
tanned in a reservoir forward, in such manner
that the indication on particular name may be
reproduced simultaneously and invariably IN
every car Of the train.
