ROMANTIC SITUATION -ENTERPRTsE-DELIdHTFuL

If PERCEPTIONS and rocky hills, give romance
aud beauty 10 a town. then indeed is Port Deposit
entitled to the name of romantic situation
Located upon the Susquehanna, just where
that great river discharges ils waters into the
Chesapeake Bay, aud ~ the head Of tide water
and steamboat navigation, 1t IL place OF no
mean Importance in the shipment of lumber.
The town il long and somewhat struggling, ex-
tending about mile and half along the river

made aud houses erected On terraces, high above
the tips Of other houses located ON the level

some, the dwelling house of Jacob Tome Esq. and
other houses built with Port Deposit gray stone,
in beauty of design and finish challenge adnlira-
tiOu and competition. The Port Deposit NJ. II.
Church built of gray stone is model of artistic
neatness and Durability, not found elsewhere on
the peninsula outside of Wilmington This
church, which will, when finished cost prob
ably 80, 900, haH been built mostly through the
munitcent liberality of.Jaoob Tome, Esq. During
our transient visit to the town. with the Union
NJ. l.. Sunday School EXcursiOnists, we noticed
several manufactures one Of them foundry,
with large number of hands employed. The
population, we were Informed, is about 1900,
large proportion Of which are engaged in the
hurquehanua fisheries and in numbering.
Tic short branch liairoad, which formerly
connected the town with the r., W. and 3D. laiI-
road, is uow a part of the Philadelphia and Bal
timure Central l,ailrOad, with regular running
trains. Another Railroad il in course of co.,

desire to remind the Republican vcters Il
Wilmington that we are on the eve of an impor-
tant nomination. On Saturday next, you must
decide by your ballots who shall be your nomi-
nee for Mayor. The party to which you belong
has good majority in this city, it is very true,
but to insure success we must nominate strong
candidate. The Office Of Mayor ID one Of great
Importance to eVety ciiiHeu.nu matter what may
be his position In society Every man il deeply
Interested ia our municipal affairs II II very
essential that unr chief Uili 'er shonld ho such
man as will have the entire cnnil'ie"ce ut our
people, regardless Of party politics. Tho man
To I'LL this puriiiuu with credit TO hmself and to
the city luni-t be one who will mt only under
stand the duties deyuving upon hlm, but ho must
have tho fortiinde to discharge hs duty fear
lessy. It is also important that talent should
be combined with fidelity and fortitude. The
Mayor should have good legal knowledge. He
should be able to creditaby preside over any
deliberatlve body, which may assemble in our
city, should he be called upon to do 30. He
should he able to receive any delegation, that
may visit our city, on business or for pleasure.
Aud whilst have not one word to say against
the moral character Of any Of tho gentlemen
named for tho position, 1t In certainly self-evl-
dent that mono of them are a. fully qualified in
every respect as Robert O. Fraim Esq. For
every position which the Mayor could be called
upon to I'LL III an official capacity he in thoroughly
competent. As public officer, he has been
fully tested, his official acts during his term Of
Office Register Of Wills, for New Castle county,
fully demonstrated hiH executive ability. No
man who knows Mr.. Fraim car, for one moment,
doubt his business qualifications, he mas not
only successfully prosecuted his own private
business, but he has held important positions of
trust and responsibilities, in which the interests
of large number Of our citizens were managed
by him with strict integrity and marked ability.
With Mr.. Fraim al our Mayor we would have a
man who would faithfully execute our laws, and
protect our citizens in their legal rights Our
property owners are deeply interested in this
matter, and have no doubt but what our law
abiding cilizens will rally to his support and
nominate him by large majority.
