WORK.


WORK.
Nothing good can be accomplished
without labor. If the Republican party
expect to carry the State this Fall it
must make up its mind to hard work.
Each and every man constituting the
party must give his personal attention to
the Canvass and take upon his individ-
ual self measure of the labor and re-
sponsibility, and forthwith enter upon a
faithful and conscientious discharge of
his duties. 1t is all well enough to talk
of unprecedented enthusiasm-of SPLEEN
did opportunities, and so on this is not
enough. Every good general, who has
won battles and made name for himself
and served his country, knows, that OPP
portunities are nothing unless utilized.
The tide in the affairs of men, which
leads to fortune, must be taken at it's
flood-not suffered to flow onward to
the sea, bearing its dead driftwood, to be
lost in the ocean of infnity. Now the
trouble with organized bodies-the rea-
son that they often fail to accomplish
results commensurate with their aggre-
gate Strengths, that men merge their
individuality into the multitude, and
forget that great results are made up
from personal effort, as the great crowd
is made up of single individuals. 1t is
so easy to cry, the party" should do so
and so, and to predicate pleasing prophe-
cies thereupon, whilst we, Tor y, remain
listless and inactive. Earnest, persistent
labor for its accomplishment, is the only
true measure of mans sincerity in
purpose. We wouldn't give fig for
the mans faith in Republeanism, who
will make no personal sacrifice-will en-
dure no toll for its triumph. Faith,
without works, is dead. We venture to
say that if every member of the Republic
can party of this State-or every one who
reads this appeal, should, from this day
henceforth till November, work for the
success of his party with the same zeal
that he would work in his own private
business, we could carry the election
beyond the shadow of doubt. And we
do not mean that men shall give up their
business and devote their time solely to
politics. We only insist that every man
who processes the faith, and who is
really at heart DESTROYS of the success OF
Republicanism in Delaware, shall use
every legitimate influence to accomplish
that end. Let each one inform himself
as to the tenets and doctrines of his
party, and on every available occasion
proclaim them to his neighbors ant
friends ;-show how the public veal viii
be subserved by their ascendency and de
fend them zealously from the misrepre
sensations and false charges of thei
enemies. No party that lives in history
ever had a nobler record than ours. 1t
purposes and its progress are alike glo
rious, and should appeal powerfully t.
the popular heart. Its animating genius
is devotion to the rights of man. 1t ig
nOres color and credit despises al
those adventitious circumstances an
supervenient aids, by which one class o
color, or race, attempt to arrogate extr
privileges and mould governments an
institutions to recognize and perpetual
them. 1t has dedicated the broad dc
main to freedom; it throws its eges owe
with sympathy for the down-trodden an
oppressed everywhere. 1t believes HI
man rights are best conserved by tina
universal intelligence which compr'
hends and appreciates them, and ever!
where Free Education is cardini
plank in its platform.
A party animated with such object
and aims, honors those who aid it, an
its advocacy and support is a prou
work for any man. We are suffering I'll
bitter fruits of the dominance of part
with an inspiration and creed as opp
site from Republicanism, or true Demo
racy, as day is from night; and to owe
throw the one and inaugurate the othe
ought to engage the earnest effort
every good man, from now till Noyembe
CHARLES O'CoNoR has finally a
cepted the Straight-Out Democrat
nomination for President, and the NOV
ment is gaining prestige. Convention
to nominate electoral tickets are bell
called in various States, and measur
are on foot to nominate an O'Conor al
Adams ticket in Delaware. There a
many Democrats in this State who W
be glad to have consistent and hone
ticket to vote, instead of that ill-fat
concern adopted at Baltimore.
