Probably the largest concsurse of
people ever assembled in Dover were
here last night to celebrate the great
victory won by the Democratic party
on the Sd instant. Long before sun
set people began to pour in from the
surrounding country. Delegations
were present from every hundred in
the county and it is estimated tn 1t
about three thousand persons were in
attendance, being a collection of the
present yeomanry, the mechanics, the
professional men of the county all as
sembled for the same purpose of rejoic-
ing and congratulating one another.
Gov. Ponder, Congressman-elec Will
liams, Secretary of State Paynter, DIR.
Cooper and other prominent men were
present.
About seven o'clock an immense
procession of the solid Democracy of
North Murderkill appeared, which,
with about five hundred horsemen of
Dover and vicinity, headed by the
Dover Silver Cornet Band paraded oil
the principal streets. The procession
was over half mile long, and during
the whole parade vociferous cheers
went up for Cochran and Williams
and the men of the Democratic party,
which, by the time it would die away,
an encore would be caught up at
another. and by this means it would
move along the line, and continually
cheer after cheer rent the air. The
State House, Court House, County
Building, Farmers Bank, Delawarean
office and the dwellings of nearly eve
Try Democrat of the town were illu-
minated in the finest manner which
made the night magnificently grand
one. The procession, with torches,
transparent lights, banners, &C., also
made u fine appearance.
An amusing scene in the parade was
representation of the effects of the
Civil Rights Bill should it become a
law. A negro man at Hotel and un-
dressing to get into bed with q white
man, and as the white man objected q
lively skirmish was in progress between
them.
After parading about all over town
the procession halted in front of the
State House were Senator Salisbury
made his appearance and in short
and effective speech congratulated
them over the success they have just
attained. He was followed by ]. Alex.
Fultol, Esq. of Dover, and Edward l..
Martin, Esq, of Sussex, who also made
short and spirited speeches. The lat
ter read letters from Senator Bayard
and State Senator elect -Fiddeman, the
latter expressed his regret at not being
able to be present but congratulated
them over the noble work accomplish
ed. The band and procession next
proceeded to the residence of Jas. l..
Heverin, Esq, when after serenade,
his son, Jas. III. Heverin, of Philadel-
phia made an address copgratulattng tie
people Of his native county On the
victory won over tho the Republicans.
Ex-Gov. Salisbury was next visited
who responded with his usual and elo-
quent and forcible manner after which
the large crowd dispersed. The grea-
test enthusiasm prevailed throughout
the evening and what was the cause Of
it allp Was it because they had trium-
phed over a fallen foe, or was it merely
for the love of party power? not at all.
They were instigated 10 their object
from the fact that Delaware is still pre-
served from the horror of Radical and
negro rule and the victory won in other
States foreshadows better days for our
Republic, which will come at no dis
tant day, but not day too soon for
an outraged people. c.
