GENrLEMEN;-Holdiu position Of chairman Of
the Delaware State Democratic Executive Com
mittee, appointed by you, and owing to the late
revolution in our political party have been left
on the platform Of Democratic principles with

indolent to earn a living for themselves, aad the
abandonment OF all Democratic principles, then

prove ana endorse the action OF the Delegates

The Pittsburgh Commercial, careful OBJ
server, aud cautious IN its statements, adds its
testimony to the cheering accounts OF Republic
can prospects in Pennsylvania. 1t says that
the substance of the evidence given by capable
and credible persons, who have just completed
trips through the State,is that, while hardly a
cofporals squad Of Republicans can be found
who will vote the Baltimore ticket, there are
many Democrats who declare their purpose of
voting for President Grant in preference to
Greeley. The business interests in both parties
are also substantially united against the Demo-
cratic candidate. With regard to the State can
vass it adds that the opposition to Gen. Hart
ranft in Republican quarters is rapidly dying
out, aad reaction-based on the overwhelming
proofs winch have been adduced to his integrity
and the exposure of the ISLANDERS to which hebas
been subjected-has set i'll his favor, which au'
gurs the happiest results. The situation,it says
is every way encouraging.

WHEN THE OLD WHITE HAT WAS NEW
A COALITION CAMPAIGN SONG.

When this Old Hat was new, my boys,
The Democrats ewOre freely,
And day and night, with grea delight,
They damued old Horace Greeley,
But now change has or them come,
The like never saw,
They now are wearing Greeley hats,
And shouting Cha. paqua.
Charles Summers now patriot,
A 'statesnan tried and true,n
But Bully Brooks broke Summers head,
When this o d Hat was new,
The Democrats all cried well done,
And SAID he'd got his due,
And swOre they'd hang old Greeley next,
When his Old lla was new.
when this Old Hat was new my boys,
Dan voorhees, was the man.
Whose tall, proud form To victory led
The Democratic clan.
But now they have ruled Daniel out,
They say lie Will not d.,
Because he ands right where he stood
hen this Old ilat was new,
But Uanitl will not stand ihe storm;
He soon will tome to ''taw,n
He yet will sing Ia sweetest strains
The song OF Chappaqua.
When this Old Hat was new, my boys,
I he very air was rent
Win shouts from Dem cratic thr1ats,
For "white mans guv-er-m nt,"
But now they are fur equal rights,
To every race and hue,
They turned their backs on all they said,
When this Old Hat was new.
But stlll Z does seem strange t1 me,
'Tis hard TO tn nix sn really,
That Hendricks should ne showed asl le,
For nlgger-lOylng Greeley,
For Hendricks was democrat
To his party always true,
Ana Greeley was It's dirt st foe

But let US take our dish of dirt,
And try put 1t through,
And then 0nr backs upon the past,

POLITICAL.


To tie Editor Of he Commercial:
II il now probable that there will he no
further mention OF names for the position of
Mayor Of our city, al the next nomination cleo
ton, to be held ON Saturday week. All Repub-
llcans must agree upon one point and that IL
that the man who can poll the largest vote at the
election should be nominated. Against any one
OF the four or five persons spoken of for the
position, 1 surely have no personal objection,
but from daily intercourse with the people, and
pretty thorough knowledge Of their feelings,
my belief is becoming daily strengthened that
MIR. DOughery is the strongest man the Repub-
ican party can put in the field. He has a sim
guarly strong hold on the minds OF the laboring
people, and the confidence Of very large class
Of our moneyed men. His record IL clear aud
good, and il his devotion to the principles of
the Republican party he has manifested a
straightforwardness OF purpose which, for this
position, has brought to his support Eve think
the surest elements of strength in that organi-
zation. We recommend Mr.. DOugherty, be-
lieying that in him the city will have an honest
and faithful citizen at its head, and the party a
good exponent OF its prin iples.

DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT.
The knights of PythiRs I'm the Play On
which Their Order Is FOuaded.

The citizens of Knoxville were afforded last
evening the opportunity of witnessing the ceie-
brated hve-act Tragedy of Damon and Pyth-
las, for the first time. For the benefit OF those
who could not be present, We give the foiloW-
ing synopsis
The scene of the above thrilling play Is laid
at Syracuse, at time when Its Senate mao oeeh
disbanded by the corrupt President, ana the
tyrant Dionysius had been Illegally CHOSEN
King. Damon, a Senator, for refusing allegiance
to Dionysius, was by the latter sentenced to IN
slant death. Just at this moment PythiGS, the
friend of Damon, and an officer in the
Grecian Army, appears in Syracuse with pur-
nose to expOtIse the fair Calanthe" Forget
ting every thing but friendship. Pythtas throws
himself at the feet of Dionysius and begs that
Damon may be given four hours respite to go
and take the last farewell of his wife Hermion
and his infant boy, promising to die in Damon's
specified. DiOnysius consents; Pythias is put
in chains, and Damon flies to bis wife and child
having taken the last embrace, he starts to re-
turn, but finds that his too faithful slave, Luz
cullus, in order to save his masters life, had
slain his steed. In the meantime the hour for
the execution draws nigh, Pythias turning his
back upon every avenure of escape, and resist
ing the appeals of his bride proudly, heroically
and unmurmuringly advances to the scaffald to
die for his friend. But at the last moment
by an almost miraculous interpOsltion, Damon,
arrives and PythiGs Is saved. IhSn amid the
shOutings of the populace Dionysius removes
his diguise and gives fife and liberty" to Da-
mon.
The dranutis perso0nL were creditaby sus-
tanned by all. 'Cllanthe" the betrothed bride
of Pythias, was sustained by Mrs. j. S. Pc,
while "Hermion" was represented by Miss
Fannie H-n.
An appreciative audience witnessed the rem
ditOn of the play, the merits of which and the
skill of the actors were sufficiently attested by
the frequent bursts of applause.
The costumes we're gotten up in excellent
style and gave q splendid effect. Mr.. Crozier,
as Damon, and Capt. Allison, as Pythias, sus-
tanned the leading characters.
The performance will be repeated on Satur-
day night, with the side-spltting farce of
"Slasher and Crasher'' as an afterpiece, by spe-
cial request.
