QURRY.-lt The GAZETTE does not desire the
nomination OF colored men tor office, why does it
continually agitate the subject Republican.
Because you don't like it. You tell the negro
that he ia as gsod as a white man to get his vote
But when you are asked to vote for him YOU
hnd he is "unwsShed" and you prefer the odor-
less"
NOW, we want you to treat the negro fairly
He is, according to your own declaration, "a man
aud brother" and he has served you faithfully
as political slare. Why still hold him as a ooii.
t'ea1 slaref 1t he is your brother vote for him.
he is a fool to allow you to hold him in such ser.
vrude when you know he might bind Jump to
give him Office al New Castle IT he is elected Gov
ernor. Your Civil Right Bill proposes to
f9rce the negro into the jury box, the public
schools and the hotels and churches and we
"anl you TO nominate him fairly and let the peo-
pie OF Delaware have a chance to show YOU what
they think OF party that will ask them 10 vote
foE negro In preference to white man We
have right to defy You to do lhis-you have .a-
keniyour position with the negro. You may sleep
with him If you like but VIC do object to your
proposing to put him in Che room and the bed
with white women's husbands and we call upon
your party friends to note the fact that the white
men Of Delaware will never submit to 30 disgrace
their wives as to sleep with negroes in hotels, or
In cemeteries either. The white women of Della
ware would prefer cremation to this but they
need not fear cremation; they have only to
get their dear husbands to vote the Democratic
ticket, and the political Sambo and cremation
will both. in November, be buried in a common
grave. First the heather, and then heathen rites.
Will people not reflect.

the precepts which the teacher has

referred to by "Scholasticus." We
confess that we have found out that
"rod" does more good in cases of
profanity than all the good advice
we could give. We remember on
one occasion we reprcved a little

thunderstruck by the reply, "My

Messrs Editors /:

Many thanks to "Scholasticasn
for his able communication in
your paper of the 9Th of Deem
Der. We are glad some interest
has been excited on this subject. by
cur query. But there are a few
points in the communication of
'Scolasticus' that we must ask
more light on. In the first place
he says San ounce OF preventative
is better than a pound of cure"
Very good. But let us ask one
questions, When all the good ex-
ample and earnest advice of a
teacher are counteracted by the
"home influence what can a
teacher do? Take for example,
swearing, when children are ac-
customed to hear oaths from the
