Jhefo appears 10 be quite tempest about rep
t1Dpasatlcn according 10 population In this State.
= XnNt rsincple no doubt IL Democratic, aud should
- adhersd 10 q far ~ the circumstances would
e1nit, having The interest q the white man sole
u q vlew. The old Federal and Whig daddics
" the present Republican party never bothered
. lhig matter for half ccntury-whils, they held
Heat and Susscx, and the Democrats held New
l$asele-but now since the Republicans Of New
fkoelb rouniy, Ms far as professions 20, have In
kea III negroes into political fellowship with
IoAem, they cry out for representation according
- population thus trying to make the poor man
nd negro believe that they mean Equal Rights.
Now let us lft The veil and look at the hollow
hoarted hypocritcs. A few days ago there WIS
: Republican County Meeting held AZ New Castle,
- the papers say, and Ia locking over Its pro-
.esstsngs sce these croakers have carried out
representation according 10 population with a
.veeesancc. Last election, as nenr rs VIC could
sealculaic, the negroes 10 Appoqunimins llua-
.&ged voted 22O Republican votes; their white
napublican brethren IN the same Hundred voted
~ votes, and Notwithstanding this, ut the laie
County Meeting ut New Castle, there we're six
nefSOns ppointcd--thrce from North and three
ftUn South Appoquinimink m executive
committcc, but one negro Jacob ilarrisl Of this
.six appointed, and Of the judges 10 hold the nom
i.aiion election not one negro was appointed
Now, you hypocric Republicans, you are II prc-
y set of fellows 10 blabbcr about representation
.arcording TO population. You arroint one negro
and hrc white men ON your executive committee
when the negroes in this Hundred cast for you
$40 votes, whilst you, their white political brcth-
yrea, cast only b4 votes. Don't you feel mean
and contemplate tor II, as you pretend these
negroes arc as much entitled TO political franchise
~ yourselves, why do you treat Them IN this scn-
u inenhcr, and blatc GU, in your papers for rep
,fesentation according TO population? Now
will give you a shot between wind aud wafer, rs
the OLD sailors say II yon cannot trust hicse ne
grocs 10 equal representation IN Your meetings
.ArcoSding TO their hunters and the votes they
east, how how do you expect rs, who have lecn
raiscd Democrats and opposed 10 abolition aud
3Rr0 equality in every form aud fashion, 10 con-
Tat TO have our rights taken amns frGm rs by
yOsr negro tools? You have proved beyond con-
1rndicton, ut your late County Meeting that all
your pretended friendship for the neerv WIS ouly
Jfam teeth ouiwards To get his vote. II would
serve you right II some sensible negro would rise
NY and call County Convention Of black negro
Republicans, and make out inli conaty ticket,
from Sheriff down. This would bring your ltcr-
prrHdy home to you and mind tel YOU soon
.sr or later il will be done. never knew nns
