10 Venders of Goods, &C., by Sample:
The laws of Delaware require every person
travelling from place to place in this State, pro.
curing or soliciting orders of sale for goods,
and merchandise, either by wholesale or RETAIL" to
take out sample license, under penalty Of $500
Tine and two years imprisonment, enc or both, at
the discretion Of the Court.
Complaint has been made at this office that many
persons are selling by sample through the State
without license, under the impression that the deci
sion of the U. S. Supreme Court in a recent case
relieved them Of all such licenses.
Such is not the case, and the laws of Delaware
will be strictly enforced.
All such persons requested to procure licenses
at once.

WHAT A New YORKER THINKS OF LEwEs.
"A correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune has
interviewed " Lewes. He thinks it quaint
old place, but much of his letter contains
nothing new to US. We make the following
extract: " He who inquiries for schools at
Lewis will find that none exist. There is no
system of public instruction, and the last
teacher who tried the experiment of private
school left the place without having made his
expenses. Though the slave system has been
abolished, yet its blighting and deadening in,
tluence is still conspicuously shown. Fortunate
ly, however, the three churches all have -four
ishing Sabbath-schools; and in such place,
the churches, beside their spiritual influence,
would seem to be the only general means of
intellectual stimulus and refinement"

IHE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR Con-

Is the oit ti"n confined strictly to the
Polliea, but otDers Of the party, who desired
that the State should have a thoroughly
competent representative in the lower House
sof Congress, one as good at least, if not much
better, than the present incumbent. We find
that, notwithstanding Mr.. Wright was nomi.
mated on the first ballot, he was by no mean,
the tirst choice Of the party, and that he wa,
elected was surprise to most of the delegate,
IN the Convention. The first ballot it wa,
supposed, would as usual, result in merely ;
complimentary vote to the several aspirants
and that further balloting would decide tn,
cholce OF the Convention. But the matter wa
so cIeverly managed by the ring that the frs
vote decided the contest, and Mr.. w. was de
elared the candidate. Even with those VIII,
support him, almost every one in this localit
does so merely because he is the nominee O
the party: not because be is their choice
Almost any one Of the other aspirants woul
have been preferred. There is no spirit O
enthusiasm for the nominee.
The objections to Mr.. Wright are not thos
OF character or good intentions. He is re
garded, in the main, as we'll meaning, affabl
gentleman, and young lawyer of perhaps ay
erage attaIuments, which age and appIicatio
