EVERY TUB ON ITS OWN BOTTOM.
The Republican party Of Delaware, in
augurated the campaign to make a vigor-
ous 6ght, and they have shown an ordinary
amount of enthusiasm, but there is cer-
tain amount of dirt clinging to its skirts,
that no amount Of loud professions, and
what must be empty promises can cover
up. The Republican. party comes before
the people united solely for political effect,
the fires of internal strife in its ranks have
only been smothered, but in the hearts Of
its members the hate and discord burns as
brightly and fercely as ever.
1t b represents the same party that has
pluudered the National government, and
destroyed the confidence Of American and
foreign people in American government,
and this political afiiliation if they offered
the best men in the State to the suf-
frages Of the people would alone be
sufficient to defeat them. The can
vass is now at its warmest period.
1t takes no prophet to describe the politi-
cal bearings of Delaware, for they are un-
mistakably Democratic. The Democratic
party clings to the honest traditions Of its
party, and offers itself as it has always
done upon its record. This election it
comes before the people as one Of the STAN
dard-bearers in the triunphal march that
Democracy is making through the country
Our candidates are thosc of unques-
tionably good reputation. We present
them as men who have always been before
the people, men who are known by the
people, and as men who will best serve the
interests ofthe people. Any better recon-
mendation could not be demanded Of men
who are candidates for political office. If
it is, there is, one thing Of which all may
rest assured, and that is that the Diogones
who would be 50 scrupulous would not in
spect the ranks of the Republican party in
the hope Of selecting such candidates. II
we are to take into high consideration the
immaculate cleanness of candidates con.
sciences we are confident that the Democ.
racy Of Delaware has no reason to lament
that it is inferior in any respects to Its op-
ponent. We make no war Of detraction ir
discussing the campaign. We do not en-
cumber fairness with the passions Of vituper
alton. present the two great parties o
the contest, and offer them up to the full
view of those who are the proper custodian
of the government-the people. 1t is II
them that the question Of choice is sub
mitted, and it is their inalienable right tt
say WHICH party is the one they prefer tt
secure them life, liberty and true pursuit
of happiness.a 'n n'7.o' .-
The, Republican party has held the rein
Of mower sufficiently long to exhibit it

the Democratic party intends. This is tn
