From Every Evening, of Saturday.
JUSTICE AGAIN REFUSED OUR PEOPLE.
"Our reports from Dover show that the House
has instantly killed the proposition to give the
people OF this county Just represented, By the
unanimous vote of the members OF the two lower
conntles, This viii surprise nobody, and will pro-
duce no such feeling Ot intense excitement and
deep Indignation as it should. This refusal 70
remedy this wrong, is one of the most open,
shameless acts of absolute tyranny erer oobaRttsd
by any oorcJHGls mt on earth, ana no other civil
lied people ever submitted long 10 such scithoHt
Tisking hfe and property an open rebellion rather
than Srbnlit, yet we do not suppose there are five
hundred men in Wilmington who appreciate the
fact that of the simplest acts of justice ask
ed by an oppressed and disfrdnchised people has
been tnsO!ently fused. We see less cause for
despair IN the tyranny to which we are subjected,
than in the temper with winch our people submit
TO 1t.
II particle of the spirit which gave our nation
birth yet lived in the descendants of those who
made Deleware's name glorious in the revolution,
eUeTy "a A1iS cty Sroaid be rebel IN thought
# not "a deed against this an famous Tyranny
tchtoh defeS the letter and SPIRIT Of cOnSttti-
;ioN, ana burlesques demOcrcy by subjecting US 10
government which taEeS as scith0ut representation
aud rules SrithOH our consent We rather
expect that some one WIIl characterize this Ian
guage as intemperate, but do not care. Its tenn
perance and IOrbeArance under infamous wrong is
what Is the matter with this community. II we
hAu moi Jubby earned q reputation for eOtr0fdty
submission we should find our rights and our
wrongs treated with more consideration"
The Madame kicks the "KiVers," aside and ex-
poses the extended negatives Of her own position.
The strong points of her e1havagant romances
are emphasized in italics.
We have really been uzder the impression that
Messrs. Mars, Silver, Thompson and Riddle were
at least some representation. We cannot find that
our county has been deprived Of any OF its equal
share in either branch Of the Legislature but find
it has all the weight therein the constitution ever
gave it. Ii we were to believe all that is sald in
the above we might come to the conclusion that
our growth and prosperity, which we have been SO
greatly elsted at, had done infinite damage TO
our good people, by making them subject to 1.-The
most open, shameless acts Of absolute tyranny ev-
er committed by any government on eArth," and
taxes US without representation and rules us
without cur consent"
We really had supposed that the great number
of acts that passed by the Legislature for our
government, and for the city, and for private per.
sons, were petitioned for and had the consent and
appreciation Of the paIties for whom they were
enacted.
People abroad who draw their inIerences from
the article quoted above must conclude that Will
minRton is a Aorrid place, and we fear diseredlt
all We have heretofore said about its being a
good place 10 live in" .
