Legislature. '~s
Yon are or ought to be aware that the
opposition party to the Democratic
mite Mans Party, is composed of ali
the coIers OF the human race, and ali
tne lsms and factions, and by their false
representations and corruption in the
| omces have well nigh ruined the coun-
try. In fact thousands had despaired Of
ever again seeing united. prosperous
and happy union of the States until
after the late elections. Tho result Of
that election sent q thrill of pleasu ra
and hope. to the breast Of every true
fDemoeratic white man, and is that hone
m delaware for the crowning result Of
ne me Democratic white mans Campaign of

sade OF fanatics on our Legislature for a
local option bill which is both nnconst;.
tutional and tyrannical, for the copst.

laws Shall bo made, to wit: by Senators
and Representative elected by the peo.

shall be to meet at Dover on the follow

Avs that they think are in accordance
a majority Of the white men who sent
them to the Legislature as their agents
for the public good. These land marks
was disregarded to great extent at the
late session OF the Legislature; for with
out any previous notice by either politi.
cal party before the election in 1872 the
Legislature following passed tyranni-
cal anti Democratic license law. The
corner stone OF the Democratic white
mans faith is intended to uphold oil
white men equal and alike, whereas said
license law states that no man but q
freeholder shall sign recommendation
for license, and that he must live in the
narrow sphere of q school district. and
then after that this application must be
made to the CAief Justice Of the Court.
Not satisfied with insulting poor men
with the insinuation that dirt made
brains, but they must 60 further and
invest the Chief Justice with a kingly
power. The Judge himself was SO far
ashamed of the toadyism of the Leeisla
ture that he on the Bench spoke in con-
domination OF said act OF the Legislature
But the further fact must not Re lost
sight of-all the members Of that said
Legislature from this New Castle) coun-
ty were Republicans. and l believe every
one OF them voted for that tyrannical IL
cense law, and with few members from
SUSSEX county who were interested in
pledging the State credit for two hun
dred thousand dollars to build railroad
from Georgetown down into the cyprus
swamp. therefore the presumption is
that this license law cost the State two
hundred thousand dollars. for if we are
Ito judge this branch railroad by some
others it may not pay many cents on the
dollar, if anything. Our county has had
the good sense to send none OF the late
members to the coming Legislature. and
Sussex. l believe, has left off all of said
late members. Our Democratic white
men should take warning, for it is said
the Republican temperance paper at
Georgetown has or is about blending
fortunes with the Republican paper at
Dover. and that they are organizing
