Democratic Meetings.

The Democracy OF the lower portion OF
New Castle County are rousing up; a.
waking to the importance Of tho great in
terests at stake in this campaign. The
shameful, cowardly, contemplate attempt.
made by their opponents, to bring in the
aid Of the Federal power to override our
State laws aud institutions, and make cap
ital for their party by prosecuting the Levy
Court and County Assessors. has stirred
up the indignation Of all fair-dealing. JUS
tice-loving men throughout the State, and
seeing from that action what may be ex-
rec.ea should they, through luke-warm-
ness and apathy. allow the party which
stufs ballot-boxcs and makes use Of Gov
erpmeut bayonets to control elections. but
raises its hands in hypocritical horror at
the accidental non assessing Of q negro. to
get into power, they are going to work iu
earnest. and are determined that no such
public calamity as Negro-Republican
victory shall befall the Little Common
wealth thr, ugh their Indifference. The
Grand Mass Meeting to be held here to-
day, and tho great number Of meetings
that are being held at various places arc
indications that Democrats ase ssstisg iu
earnest.
We are glad to see this spirit Of enthu.
siasm pervadiug the true sons Of Delaware.
We have ever contendcd aud believe now
that strong, hearty. united effort made
by the Democrats Of Delaware will save
not only the State. but this county. too.
from Radicalism. This is extremely nec-
essary, we have not yet been subjected to
the degradation Of perfect equality with
negroes in Delaware. The children Of the
laboring men Of Delaware have not ye,
been compelled to go to school with Negro
children. and Delaware jurors have moi
yet sat down in the jury-box side by eide
with negroes. But how long will they b.
exe,np, from these disgusting equslitisl
after the Republican party becomes pos,
sesscd Of the rcins Of government
II is useless for Republicans to say thai
these things are the " creatures Of Demo
cratic Imagination" Il is vain for then
to deny that this will be the result Of thei,
success. They have invariably denied al
accusations Of this nature brought sgains
thcm BY tho Democrats. yet every chass'
has beet proved to have been correct.
But even il they we're ever 90 much op
posed TO the practising Of these things
they could not prevent il. They are u
entirely and hopelessly dependent upor
the negroes that tbry would be obliged :,
yield 70 their demands and do the bidding
u their bcnefacsors. Nay. mere, ssinl
their ssccudeucy wholly 10 the asgroes
they would fear to do ausht contrary h
the wishes Of their allies, and the nsgros
would thus become their masters.
