fifty feet distant, igniting quantity of char

The MOpDreIs-SOlieN Notes of their
Lion from Republican
PNDPfS.

The introduction of the negro to the
polls has entirely changed the Repub-
lican party. II is no longer the orr
ganization which it was; and most
of the high-minded and respectable
gentlemen who adroitly influenced its
action in former years, are so disr
gusted with it now that they think 1t
deserves to be characterized by some
other name, and the most fitting one
we can apply to it is at the head of
this paragraph.
The Deta ~arean, (Dem.) printed at
Dover, has the following
THE kEPGBLICAN CiRCUc- sAMEo ON
THE wAR-pATH.
The proceedings of the Republican
State Convention, held in this own on
Thursday published in another colum n
gives but faint idea of the ludic-ous
ard. disgracefnl scenes which trans.
pired therein. The personnel of the
convention was of such a character as
to invite the presence of curiosity
sckers. The negro element of the State
was pretty largely represented therein.
To many of our cllizeps it was rather
an unusual phenomenon, as there new
er was political convention held in
this town which contained such large
representation OF the negro CLEMENT
The convention, therefore, represented
mole faithfully the complexion of the
Republican party than conventions
held on former scca3ions; besides the
negroes had determined to be leard, (,
not only by their vote, but by their
speech. They think that the white
Republicans have enjoyed monopoly
of the talking and speaking long
eLough. They want to engraft upon
the Anglo Saxon tongue some gems of
African classics.
