Chester standpoint, We have to put up
with his terrible rawlings, which, true,
.rs mere idle vaporings, hut then after
all it il very unpleasant to see even a
wild animal mad AMI lashing its cage

We are told by this censor Of 'l'
public press that the establishing o
negro suffrage !y Congress was h'
real cause Of the complete Republican
overthrow in Delaware, and yet lh'
