National Republican., 1879-11-21

THE Democrats have learned to count
since the late Northern elections. The
Galveston Ne,cs thinks that the late out
break of ROBERT TooMBs is worth fully
100000 votes to the Republican party.
These chaps begin to estimate the value of
votes, and like all the world they only ap-
preciate blessings and benefits after they
have been lost. A few more TOoMBs blasts
will blow away the last chance and hope of
the Democratic party in all sections of the
country Death to the Union" is not a
very congenial cry anywhere now. 1t is
too expensive, and its cost is not forgotten
even by the South
National Republican., 1879-11-21

THE protean public character of SAM
RANDALL was never more disgustingly ex-
posed than in the proceedings incident to
the dedication of the THOMAS statue. An
ex-soldier of the Union army, and the for
mer comrade of loyal men, he now is COM
PEELED to appear in the light of truth as a
backslider and cowardly deserter. The
man who once recommended General
THOMAS for promotion, he is now the con-
fessed leader of his country's enemies and
the boastful tool of disloyalists.

THE Republican does not quote u cor
rectly, whether purposely or not n states
what the GAzErTE never uttered and
then the Republican proceeds 70 COM
ment upon its own fabrications. The
GAZETTE stated that when the Oonsti-
tutional Convention in 1858 met At
Dover and amended our Constitution
and put its adoption to vote Of the
people, the Messrs. Bayard opposed it on
the ground of its not giving representa-
ton according to population; and that
the Wings led on by the late Hon. John
M. Clayton opposed it because they were
adverse to making any change. We did
not say that Mr.. Saulsbury was in favor
of representation according TO popula-
ton. The kepvblicaR says: fl
"Why not ask the Republicans to re-
lieve us tauntinely asks the "Gazette %
and therefore are not responsible for the
wholesale DISTINGUISHING Of the people
Of the State. Majorities rule and there
toIC VIC iOOh W tIic IOT IS-
form Of the abuses complained Of"
A more sensible and truthful answer
to the question would perhaps have been
found in the reply that in Delaware the
Republican party had died for the wan,
of patriotism enough to cause its mem.
bers to pay the small amount Of poll tar
as prerequisite to voting.
When the Republican shows enough
of ability and truth in its arguments te
induce majority of the people to vote
the Democrats out of the majority, there
will be some hope for its accomplishing
what it desires, viz: To fill the office
with politicians Of its own politica
views. Its request of Messrs. Bayart
and salisbury to come to its aid is de
cidedly stupid.

SENDING OUT A FALSE IMPRESS
sIox.-The Republican has endeavored
to send forth the impression that the
people of Delaware did not enjoy equal
privileges, and equal franchise at the
ballot box before the law. But 1t failed.
It found that the tax in this State to Sc
cure q vote rested equally upon all,
whites and colored and that like tax
was demanded of voters in Pennsylvania
and most other States. 1t now tries to
make a false impression and acquire
sympathy abroad by such attacks upon
the Democrats of this State and Senator
Bayard as the following;
"If as the GAZETTE contends, Senator
Bayard is in favor Of equal representa-
ton, why does he not do something to
to show it, now that 10000 OF his own
people are DISTINGUISHED, as readily as
when the difference was only 5000 or
1000 ?"
The GAZETTE did say that Mr.. Bayard
In 1853 opposed the adoption of an
amended constitution on the ground that
it did not afford representation according
to population. We have not said what
opinion Senator Bayard holds upon this
question now. Our people have seemed
pretty well contented on the subject since
1858; when the whig party opposed all
alterations of the present constitution,
which is the work Of their ablest men,
and the people have to be governed by ii
until it is altered. 1t is altogether proba-
Bile that Senator Bayard does not wish to
become an agitator of the politica
caldron, and as there is no demand for {
change now by the party with which hi
Is affiliated, he is disposed to leave tina
matter to such as feel greyed over th'
constitution and desire its alteration
But 1t is not true as the Republicd
seeks to give the impression that 1000
people Of this county are disfranchiseC
The county only casts about 1880
votes. Every man who complies wit
the requirements of the constitution (
1882 is entitled to vote upon the pay
ment Of a small poll tax at any of oil
State elections This tax is levied aliB
upon all whites and blacks and the ball,
Is as free in Delaware as in any State

We have not the least cause to doubt

TALL SWEARING AND DISFRAECHIsING.-
The testimony taken by the congressional
investigating committee recently in session
in New York city. andpubIished in the New
York San Of yesterday, shows that Commits.
sioner John l. Davenport directed his clerk
(Mosher) to swear to batch OF 1850 CON-
plants, charging 1850 citizens Of New York
with the crime OF registering upon fraudu-
lent naturalization papers, In each case
Mosher swore to a personal belief that the
crime charged had been committed. On these
complaints warrants were issued by Dayen-
port, hundreds of arrests were made in cases
where the parties manifested disposal to
vote the Democratic ticket, and hundreds OF
citizens were DISTINGUISHED, many Of them
suffering Imprisonment in, Davenport's iron
! cage, on the upper-story Of the post office
building. The Sun says Mosher had made
no examination OF the record in any one OF
these cases, and that the blank complaints
hid been filled out By other clerks. Mr.. Mo-
sler might with almost Us much. reason have
sworn, to his 'personal Belief" that every
D mocrat in New York was frauduleutly
registered al the instance Of his employer.
