there are thousand colored voters inWil-
mincton, but admit, there were seven or
eight hundred at Que time. and seems
pieased that not more than two or three
hundred of these negr"es now vote
at all.-Republicdn.
OF course we s'snecr at the idea," that |
was expected by such gentlemen as
Anthony Higgins, George p. Fisher, and
jacob Moore, would turn Delaware
over to negro rule and put it under the
heel Of carpet-baggers to roll up debt
similar to that which weighs upon North
and South Carolina, Louisiana and every
other Southern State where the Northern
scamp got hold of politics and used the
negro vote to help him steal-steal, (that
Is the word) from the people-:o put
burden upon the lives Of child en- yet
unborn and put money In his pocket
Such debts as these should never be
paid. And they were made by men that
deserved execration forever and ever.
Yes, we do 'sneer" at the attempted
effort OF such gentlemen-and consratu-
late the white people on the fAilure to
mike the young white men of this State
the companions of negroes.
Yes, we do "sneer" at the failure OF the
Republican and all its editors in their
efforts to force the negroes into the pub
lie schools and reduce the m chanic in
the shops to such companionship.
None know better than Anthony Hig-
gins, Esq, how degraded and unprinci-
pied the great mass of the negroes are from
ignorance and profigacy, and how easy
It was to lead them to vote as the low
white political demagogue pleased tc
direct. And no man in the State re-
eeived q greater reward for his daring
and short-lived success in putting tn
white voter down and negro voter owe
him IN Wilmington. Higgins, jenkins
aud Croasdale were pretty pack to rul
Wilmington, by the help Of the "on
thousand negro votes" The whol
batch were scarcely worth as many do
lars As negro votes they expected

thousand negro votes added to the 4
publican vote in Delaware was to I
the business for them, and jenkins W
