Woro the Commercials "Eibows
Creased 2"

The Commercials evidently sore over the mud
die it has got in.o with the Radical members of its
party in the City Council. and its good friend the
Delaware county Republican comes to its aid in
the following paragraph which we take from the
latter paper Of yesterday:
"The Wilmington Commercial! has Just found
out "how foolish it 10 for q newspaper editor to
disapprove OF anybody or any thing-that such a
course provokes resentment and causes oppos-
tion." The Commercial has been in the world a
long time, before it discovered this important
truth Doss it not that nearly all the editors
Of suocassfsl journals have their elbows creased,
and that they wriggle in and wriggls out and
never dare acknowledge their souls their own ?
The Commercial must not disapprove when the
Jones and the Browns rob the community if it de-
sires to retain the good will Of these distinguished
personages and their friends. Its neighbor. the
Delaware Republican,, would bs Il model for it to
initiate, there danger that that paper would
:syer eyer ~ anything to provoke resentment" and
thus causs opposition"
II there is any comfort in the sympathy express
ed by brother Walter. the Commercial should have
the benefit OF it. But We cannot see that thi.
helps the matter, especially as it recommends ths
Republican 20 forcibly.

JOHNSON RALLY AT BROWNS
VILE.
Special to the Appeal.

Special W INC AppSdAs
BROWNSVILLE, Oct. 16.-The candidates
for Congress from the State at large speak
here tomorrow. Great interest is felt in
the result of the contest. The true Dem
ocracy are unit for the old hero, Frank
Cheatham, the regular nominee of the
Democratic party. The boasted johnson
rally came off at the courthouse tonight,
and was indeed wretched tfascO. There
were in all about one hundred persons
present, and were about equally divided
between Cheatham, Maynard and johnson.
The distinguished speakers were j. NJ.
Carmack, of Memphis, and Major Willo
Haywood and W. B. Folk, of this place.
Colonel Carmack led off In a dull, prosy
speech, a Ia AuGLGnche and Banner style, in
sisting that the Democratic party was dead,
and that it was useless to disguise the fact.
This was the burthen of his funeral Grafton.
Mr.. Folk next followed in fulsome eulo-
gy on johnson asserting to the death of
the Democracy.
Mai. Haywood next took the stand, and
here is where the fun commenced. He
opened by saying that he utterly disagreed
with the preceding speakers as to the death
of the Democracy. He said that the state
lltCAlb LEel5 tuO OOhAOOAAtiO PhAby was 0O@ u
was too thin. He was a straighout Demo-
crat and would never consent to anything
so ridiculous as that the grand old party
was dead. He said that he supported Mr..
johnson because be regards him as the best
Democrat in the country, and that if john
sons friends we're supporting him as sort
of side show to Rsdicalism, then he begged
TO be excused, and would have nothing TO
do with them.
The johnson men could not stand this
broadside, and fled in dismay from the
courthouse. Cheatham's friends remained
and gave the Major respectful hearing to
the end. This was a glorious occasion for
the true Democracy.
Carmack and Folk looked Oh in mute
astonishment, and did not seem to relish
the turn affairs took. 1t has been sug-
gested that Carmack will not co me up
to Brownsville again on behalf Of John
son.
