with interest the article contributed bv
Mr.. j, A. Whitlock to Thursdays edition
Of the GAZETTE. Though not at present
prepared to accept or reject the mould
feature OF the scheme suggested, / am
convinced that were such an expression
Of the will of the people made known,
the proposed silver question which has
agitated the country so long would have
been settled very quickly. For believe
the majority Of the people of at least this
county would have voted for silver, and
plenty of it, and Delaware would have
given decided majority for it, notwith-
standing the position of the Hon. Sena-
tor Bayard. If such be the interest of
the proposition toin any way assist those
who have borne the burden in the heat
of the day it exactly suits.
