The CATHOLICS AND TEMPERANCE. 800
OF our Catholic citizens assembled in their
church at o'clock, on Tuesday morning last, to
receive the paschal communion, as their ordi-
nances direct The pastor, Rev. ]. DAILY, first
delivered sermon on the necessity of penance
as well as repentance, showing that one was
necessary to the other, and pointed out to the
flock the new obligations they were contracting
with God. After the sermon had been concluded
he stated that he had proposition to make to
the congregation, but their acceptance of it
would impose no burthen upon them which he
himself was unwilling to assume. His propo-
siton was that they should all take the temper
ance pledge for one year He first pronounced
his own pledge, and then asked all who were
willing to perform a similar duty to stand up,
when the entire congregation rose to their feet
We think il Is one Of the best omens for the
prosperity Of our town, where so large a num-
Der are converted to the cause Of Temperance.

EQUAL DIFFERENTIATION GETS THREE
VoTRs AT NEW CASTLE

Those who expected-if anybody ever did so
expect-that the Democratic Party in Delaware
could be brought up to the approval of the DEM
ocratic principle Of Equal Representation, may
perceive their error in the New Castle County
Meeting. The action taken there effectually
silences all pretence or expectation Of the kind,
and adds one more proof, though none was
needed, that the establishment Of a just system
of representation in the Legislature must come
through the success Of the Republican party, or
not come at all.
We need hardly say that this fact has been
again and again stated in these columns, during
the latest discussion Of the matter, and we do
not view the action at New Castle with the
slightest surprise. 1t is precisely what we ex'
peoted The present managers and controllers
Of the Democratic organization in this State
maintain their grasp through inequality Of rep
resentation, and when that is removed, their
hold is shaken of. Naturally, therefore, they
do not favor Equal Representation, and never
will, and the lieutenants who hold Office, or e1-
peot to get it, under their rule follow thir policy,
in voting down, with unconcealed contempt ev-
cry proposition looking toward a reform Of the
present unjust and iniquitous apportionment.
1t is true, we know, that there are a number
of Democrats who are not so bound to the feet
Of their party leaders, as to favor Unequal Rep
resentation because the leaders find advantage
in it. There ought to be a large number Of such
free and independent voters. We give credit to
Mr.. o'Byrne, and Mr.. Dean, that they at least
are in that rank, and, there are others whom we
might name.
But these men, though strong because the!
are right, are weak because they are few. Theil
utter inability to produce the smallest effect
upon their party organization was most sadly
and eonolusively shown, on Saturday, when, out
of the several hundred persons assembled at New
Castle, just three roes could be had for resolu-
tion in favor OF Equal Representation Three
votes for justice to the county Of New Castle, Al
meeting Of citizens Of the county Of New
CASTLE Three-3-uotes
Can anybody expect that the disfranchised
people Of the State will ever obtain relief by
continuing to elect to office candidates nominated
on the ticket which that meeting approves
Certainly, nothing in the past warrants such an
expectation, and the emphatic, Oontemptuous,
utterance Of Saturday enectually refutes every
pretence that even hope OF that kind is rea-
sonable.

The Gazette makes very unfair and inaccu-
rate reference to the management of our city
post ofice, and exhibits in tile same breath, the
cause of its displeasure. 1t says
"-the fault is in the post office which has
been wretchedly conducted for several months
past Whether this is owing to the appointment
OF negro clerks, or not the Necs which is an
Office holders mouth-piece, may, perhaps dis
cover upon inquiry"
The appointment of negro clerks this is
the explanation Of the Gdzet,'s anger, In fact
however, there is no colored clerk in the Post
Office at all, and only one colored man acting as
letter carrier, out OF some six or seven. The
Office is well and efficiently managed and the
