pJred By the people
VIZ AKE perfectly willing 10 bear the
insolent sDeers Of the organ Of the ne
grosles fer What advice We have given 70
the Levy Court Of New Castle county |;
nor are We Of all influenced BY its ap-
peal 10 such gentlemen - it sees proper
70 srrsign us before We sas again thai
the Levy Court caaDot szzord 10 be 30
indaleent 10 the Dezroes Of this county
rs Kent had been TO the negroes Of Kent
Kent county has Democratic majority
Of l-30o aud il made very little dif5er-
snce abeW the addition of some seven
hundred negroes TO her assessment lists-
The majority 10 not 90 great in New Cas-
tie county but large enough 70 out-vote
all the negnoes thai may be legally put
on the lists in any reasonable time.
Nevertheless our county is now incur
ing heavy outlAys for building a new
Court HOuse and new insane depart
meut for the county poor, and We in
siss that We are right in o9jeciinR
to The Levy Court waiting two weeks
70 allow the swamp aod rec1sses
Of the forrest to be emPtied Of its
Republican ignorsmusss merely to
permit the Republican ohce-helders To
put the county under African rule.
Those Inbseile negroes have no inselll-
gent idea of what they do when they
vote. Many Of them are led 10 believe
that If The Republicans earry the cleo
tiOns They will thereby be given he right
to marry any white woman, lai
their beastIy lusts i1haeDce them to de-
sire. Before the pegroes were permitted
to exercise the franchise il was q rare
thing TO bear Of a negro entering farm
house and taking liberties with the fe-
male oocHpA"ts. But now it is almost a
daily occurrence in some locality. A
poor man dare hardly leave his wife
while be ploughs his field. Such has
been The consequence OF the advocacy
the lenity Of Il Laws TO such offend 70
By the Republican and iu eo-lAborerS.
And We here again repeat those
men who would not pay their TAI last
year, and thus have themselves legal put
On inc Iss, VIII not pe HkeIy 10 pay
them this year nor viii the Republican
pArtisaRs pay them. Because they know
very wall that this county will be car
red By the Democrats, and this money
will, therefore, be thrown away. Why
the Republican knows thai the GA

would b glad 70 have The advice and
assurance cf the Denszatie gentlemen
whom the the Republiedn cites As aeaIns,
"a. But while We see and know the
eoAdition in which our pSor religious
hArdsoikins farmers have bean placed,
AMI the fear and anxiety they are daily
under in consequence Of the encourage
meni given TO Degroes by the RepubR-
can influences DCE agitating every par,
Of Delaware and the Peuinsula. We
must take the liberty Of depending upon
our own judgment and making known
our own views, without such greatly de-
sired help. II We err We know i. will
be on the side OF humanity, virtue and
right and on these We are satisfied tc
stand LET Others stand as they may.
Il is disgusting TO think that ouI
young men of Delaware shall be asket
70 ally themselves with the class O
voters who sould expose their sister
aid mothers to the terrible apureben
sons that would follow. We canpo
dEen upon it With patience. Whether

! Courss ike il or not, o.u Judgment /,
that ii is the duty of the Levy Court o
New Castle county 70 maintain the mos
rgid economy without regard TO In
Courts desire 10 have negroes asses,e,
and 20 secure aid TO help destroy III
Democratic policy Of our excellent an
economical STATE Government.
