Ar. McGlinchey 's last Resolution.
OF all the resolutions which Mr.. Nc
Glinchey has offered in the City Coun'
Gil, that on Thursday evening looks to
the most practical benefit to Whining
ton, and should be heartily commend
ed, and We hope the efforts to have the
improvement, suggested at the mouth
of the Christiana will not abats until
they are successful. There is no doubt
that had Delaware been large State,
rs large even as her sister across the
river, Q river front wharf and landing
by National aid would have been COM
pleted long ago, but only having three
votes in the National conventions Of the
two great political parties Of the day,
she has always been thought OF too lit
tie consea uercs to look after. There
can be no doubt that fine barber can
be made on the Delaware front by the
aid Of o little Of the National appropri
ation, thathave besn squandered upon
in significant trout streams in Western
Pennsylvania, three hundred miles
away from any point that could be
touched by an ocean steamer. Will
mington has now no doubt a population
of fully 0,0O0, and her commerce. and
trade now are Of sufficient Importance
to claim the special attention of Con.
gress for once. What we want now is
the active support Of Mr.. Bayard, who
seems to have great influence in the
senat-. especially in financial matters.
He has been the Joshua that command
ell the silver moon of Congress to stand
still and it stood. Now if he would but
Just turn his attention to maratime i'm.
provements on the Delaware river front
and get Congress, while it is showering
its favors all over the land, to not pass
by Wilmington, he will bs dong his
constituents more real service than by
the def-.at Of dozen Warner silver
bills. but will Mr.. Bayard do this
much for Wilmington While We hope
he will, We must confess that our hope
grows weak when we look upon that
other fact that there are 40, 900 disfran.
chissd citizens of Mr.. Bayard's, inst
around his own palatial home, and he
has never yet made public effort slice
he has been in Congresses or since he
was a stripping Of a youth to have them
endowed with the full rights of Ameri-
can citizenship.
We believe that il Mr.. Bayard would
use his influence in Congress, there
wonld be no trouble in securing Ma
tional aid in the Delaware river i'm
provements so much needed at the
mouth of the Christiana. At any rate
upon his return from his European
junketting he will have an opportunity
of turning his attention from laying pc.
litical pipes that lead to the Presiden'
tial chair, to something that will be a
real benefit to Wilmington. We are all
with Mr.. McGlinchey in his first incip-
lent steps towards securing National
recognition and National aid tor the
projecte Delaware river improvements
and We hope that ere long in spite of
the indifference of our National repre-
seutatives in Congress We may have
the pleasure of seeing the large river
steamboats,, and our ocean merchant
steamers, stop at our wharves to ex-
change passengers and trade. Go ahead
Mr.. McGlinchey with your survey of
the premises, and then induce Mr..
Bayard to brush the Presidential bug
out of his hair long enough to lay the
matter before Congress backed up by
the powerful influence he is said to
possess and then these resolutions may
result in something practical.
