SPEAKER OF THE House OF DELEGArEs.-It is
understood that qnie a sharp contest is going
on among the democratic members of the Legs-
lature and other politicians in regard to the
speakership of the House Of Delegates, notwitl-
standing the Legislature does not meet till We'd
nesday next The candidates put forward by
the antagonizng elements are Mr.. Henkle, of
Anne Arundel, and Mr.. Hines, of Kent, the
former being a repuied supporter of the Hon.
Vim. T. Hamilton, the present incumbent, for
United States Senator, and the latter an advo-
cate of Hon. Pinkney Whyte for the position
Generally the matter of the speakership does
not become much matter of consideration till
day or two before the meeting of the Legisa-
ture, but the question of election of Senator
probably precipiiates it on this occasion. Very
considerable strength is claimed for Mr. Ham-
ton, and with that claimed for Mr.. Whyte on the
other side, it may be TINT another candidate
may be run in between them.

EoR GovERNoR.- names. of several
gentlemen have been suggested BY the va
rious friends Of each in connection with
the Democratic nomination fer Governor,
at the State election next fall. Most Of
these gentlemen are we'll qualified for the
Office, and would, doubtless, discharge its
duties with eminent ability. Some Of
them. however, have declared their
unwillingness to become candidates for
the office, on various grounds.
While We have not word Of objection
to raise against any Of the gestlemsn alrea- :
dy mentioned, and will cordially and heart
lily give our support to any good and suit
able man who shall receive the nomina-
tion Of our party. regarding the unity Of
the party as Of far moro consequences than
personal claims, yet. though we would net
enhance tbs difficulty Of choice BY null
tiplicity Of numbers, We take pleasure in
recommending to our Political friends q
gentleman. not before mentioned. who We
believe is most thoroughly qualified in ev-
cry way to fill the Office in manner that
would give tho greatest satisfaction to the
people and reflect honor and credit upon
the State. Having proved. by bis sue
cessful management Of his own affairs, his
ability to conduct the affairs Of the public
be commends himself to the people of tbs
State as in every way worthy Of their cor
6dence, and We feel assured that the inter
ests Of the people of Delaware would be
jealou.ly guarded if entrusted to his care
A life long Democrat he is thoroughly
imbued with the true Jeffersenian princi
pies upon which the government of th'
United States, and Of all the States, ar,
founded, and as Chief Executive be woult
administer the affairs of the State on thos'
principles.
Though we make this suggestion at I
venture and have not consulted tho gentle
man alluded to, we hope he will not rcfus
to allow bis name to be used by the part,
to which he has SO long been attached, bu
will yield his own personal inclinations ant
objections to the wishes of his party.
We nominate John p. Cochran, Esq
as the proper Democratic candidate 70
Governor in 1874.

SATURDAY MORNING. JANUARY ID. ls74

Tvs Nsw YEAR.-It gives us much
pleasure, in this our frst issue Of the new
year, to present our kindsst regards to all
our friends and patrons, and extend to
sh.m our best wishes for their prosperity
asI1 happiness during the year upon which
We hsve just entered. Doubtle.s the old
year bors very hard upon some Of ". and
brought us many sad losses and bitter dis
appointments. but il is gone now and it is
usslsss to speed our time in vain regrets
and complaints about the past. That
which j. gone cannot BE- recovered; We
can only sndsavor. by increased efort, TO
make up. u ths new yeas what We faded
to accomplish in ,he Old. We will Try y
remember the good tho old year brought
rs aud bear it no III will for our revsrsss.
What the new year has in store for US
who can tell? Who can foresee what
changes will be made during the next
twelve months. or how or where the close
Of 1871 will End US? Some Of US will,
doubtless, have finished our course and
ended the days Of our life upon earth be-
fore tho present year shall have passed
and another shall have dawned upon Ms.
This is but the commsu fate Of humanity,
and We will not waste our time in gloomy
forsbsdings about our inevitable doom.
Time is too short and life too busy to ad-
init Of spsnding any part Of in idle sOm-
plants. We each and all have our work
to do. and no one has . right to be q
drone in the great hive of the world, or t.
expect others to support him. Let Vi
therefore put forth more earnest efforts and
see to it that the beginning Of 1875 finds nj
nearer the accomplishment Of our work,
aud nearer the attainment of tho object o
our ambition than this year did. "Lool
not msurnfully inss the past; it come.
not back again wisely improve the pres.
ent, it is thine. Go forth to meet thu
future without fear and With o mani,
heart"
We tender to all our readers our heart,
wishes for Happy New. Year" g.

his resignation. The appointment was
