The readers Of the GAZETTE, during the period
alluded to in the affidavit Of Mr. Humphrey Nor
row, will remember that the acts complained OF
therein were by us charged upon the managers
of the Radical party at that time. These char
ges were denied by the Commercial Col. Jesse
Sharpe, Of this city, Mr.. Samuel Townsend, and
other Democrats of APPoquinimink Hundred
will remember we'll how nearly the outrage ar
ranged 10 be perpetrated upon the ballot-boKea
was of being accomplished. The exposure OF such
all act at this day shows 10 what terrible state OF
demoralization the Radical party had descended
at that day. 1t has been getting worse since, aa
this correspondence and controversy proves. Bat
il is not necessary for us TO say that Mr. Marshal
Dunn was not the only one OF that party impliea-
ted in that attempt 10 deirAud the people Of this
city. county and State OF the right Of choosing
their rulers, by stealing the ballot hOxeH and. per-
hsps, numbering the election officers 10 Aght.
No. Such an assertion would not bO credited. =
Older heads and more responsible men than Dunn
were involved in that attempted Outrage. The
chickens will yet come home TO rOOSt; and We
hope all who we're interested in tho affair will be
exposed before the war OF the fsetions, that Il
now being wsged 90 bitterly, will cease.
