ASHAMED of the outrageous acts of

publican orators dare not attempt to
defend them before an incensed eommu-
nifty; and, therefore, they have resortcd
to the ruse of prattling about the public
school system, the tax on mortgages, and
the attachment laws; all of which have
passed upon legislatures without regard
to party politics, and have never been
considered political questions. Neither

THE MEETING LAST NIdIIr was very
large and enthusiastic. 1t was ably ad-
dressed by Senator Salisbury and Chas,
B. Lore, Esq. There is every reason to
believe that the arguments of these
gentlemen have had great weight, and
the prospect for majority Of several
hundred votes in this city for the Dem
ocratic ticket is at least encouraging.
In the two elections this fall that have
already been held the Democrats claim
right to triumph, inasmurh as in the
first they carried six wards out of ten,
and in the second, with circumstances
against them, there was tie. Now with
the popular vote running so strongly in
tleir favor in all the cities and States, it
would be very strange indeed if it should
not be so in this State also. Appoquini-
mink and New Castle are contending for
the banner Hundred; but they might
possibly both be beaten by Wilmington
1t would be glorious thing to see our
little city once more record her vote
with laundering majority against cor
ruption, fraud, oppression and misg5v-
ernment. 1t would prove that the peo-
pie of Wilmington are true republicans
at heart and understand what the ballot
is for-that it is not simply to keep men
and parties in power, whether they are
honest or not, that they may live by OFF,
cial patronage. But that it is for the
very purpose of changing our rulers at
will-that is frceman's right in the
ballot, and we hope the people of vii
mington and the whole State will so use
it on Tuesday next.
