The leaders Of the party really appear
to be as devoid Of honesty as they are
Of patriotism. Justice and right have
little influence with them when the
Offices Of the country are concerned, As
they seem ready to make any sacrifice
In order to obtain them. In short like
Rsau Of old they are SO hungry that
they are ready to sell their birthright
for mess Of pottage. They are worthy
Of contempt, and the people at the next
election should rise in their might and
hurl them from the places which they
have disgraced.

Democratic Economy.

When tue Democrats obtained the 49,
oerdeucy in the House Of Represents
tives they made great pretehsions of a
desire TO econoniz4 and lessen the eX,
penses Of the country. A more complste
failure has seldom been witnessed. In.
stead of cutting down expenses they
have greatly increased them in some di-
rectio-is. Their prodigality while at
tending funerals We exposed few days
ago, and their waste ia the appoint.
ment Of investigating committees has
been equally apparent. Thousands
upon thousands Of dollars have been
expended for travelling over the coun-
try, for 10 particular good whatever.
The search for fraud from Glover's com
mittee TO that of which Senator Sauls
bury is the head, has been iruitlesS,
and the money tquandered has been
practically thrown away. The truth is
the whole plot originated in desire to
carry the Presidential election, and for
this end the interests Of the people have
bseB neglected, and a large sum of
money expended. The citizens should
have their eyes opened by such psrti-
san conduct. The various attempts to
unseat political opponents in order that
they may control the House in case the
people should fail to elect the President,
is but another proof Of their mendacity.

Tne Kemper q, Delaware.

St. Georges Hundred in New Casti'
County is to Delaware what Ksmpel
County is to Mississippi. One is nj
stronger Republican than the other
but in neither can the Republican vote
be cast on account Of the violence Of the
Democrats. True there have betn nc
massacres in st. Georges Hundred like
the Chisholm murders Of Ksmper Coun.
ty, and like the assassination Of Dixon
in the open streets Of Yazoo, but there
have been shootings and violence at the
polls at Odessa, which have driven
away the Republicans from the polls
and turned Republican majority Of
from two to three hundred into Dem
ocratio majority. By violence, intimi-
dAtion, fraud and rascality, the Hun
dred has been kept Democratic ever
since, scarcely ever polling much more
than half its vote, simply because the
Republicans were villainously disfran.
chised by laws made for that purpose.
On q full and fair vote St. Georges
Hundred will run up a Republican
majority Of two hundred any day,
but owing to the domineeripg
Southern plantation manners Of
an element in the Hundred as vio-
lent as the Gullys and Barksdales Of
Mississippi, elections in that Hundred
have been but the veriest farce. The
missionary OF civilization is sadly want
ed in certain portions of st. Georges
Hundred. We know that what VIZ say
will be denied vehemently by a parti.
san press in the interests Of the auto
Gratis whe rule by bluster and violence
in St. Georges but that is to be expect
ed. Hundreds Of Republicans both
black and white wanted to get assessed +,
but the assessor cowed into submission
by the same influences that led to the
riot at the Odessa polls, was afraid and
refused To put their names upon the as
sessment lists for fear he would offend
his party, and now we are informed thai
the collector of that Hundred refuses to
take taxes when offered to him by other
than by the person owing them; and
that when Republicans come to pay
their taxes he cannot be found, while
Democrats find easy access. This is a
part Of the plan for keeping 81. Georges
in the hands Of the slave driving Demo
cratic oligarchy. The monthly report
made by the County Treasurer, shows
that while St. Georges Hundred is one
Of the richest in the county, the col.
lector is the farthest behind in the
collection Of taxes, and this has been
the case for come years past. st. GeOr.
ges Hundred has to be kept under the
iron rule of an effete slave oligarchy
even though it cheats the State out Of
hundreds of dollars and three hundred
Republicans of St. Georges out Of their
votes. Still we are not without hope
that the day Of political gloom and sad
ness for St. Georges is nearly past. An
uprising Of the people of Delaware is
being inauguratrd that will II we mis-,
take not the signs Of the times, bring
release from the petty tyranny that
has 50 long beeu exercised over the
people, a movement which will even
reach the Kemper Of Delaware.

taxation.

We know the farmers Of this county
will agree with US in declaring that
every man should be required to con-
tribute his quota towards the support
Of our local government. Every name
should therefore he placed on the as
sessmsnt list, and should the assessors
fail in their duty in this respect, the
members of the Levy Court should do
theirs. The collectors should also be
required to call on every man for his
tax, and only those who are unable to
pay the same should be allowed as
errors. Justice requires the pursuance
Of this course. By the present system
thousands of persons escape paying
any tax, and the burden on the re-
naming portion is consequently in
creased. We have no doubt that within
the past Ave years 100000 have been
lest through the negligence Of the as
SCISSORS and collectors. This may meet
With the appreciation Of leading Demo.
cratic politicians, but We think the
farmers and mechanics, who have to
make up the deficiency, caunot give it
their sanction. Unless they like the
policy Of the Democratic party better
than they do their own peouniary ad
vantage, they will not vote to continue
such proceedings. They would no.
submit to such imposition in their bus
iness transactions. The dealer who
would take dollar off them knowing
ly, would not be given an opportunity
to repeat the operation. Party associa-
tion would not induce them to overlook
the exaction. S1ch caution is certainly
eommendable. We think their course
should he Influenced by the came mo.
tives on political questions. The party
imposing upon them should be rebuk-
cd until reformation became complete.
1t is worse than folly to uphold polit-
ical party in wrong doing, as the great
mass Of voters can only expect to be
benefited by the practice of economy
and fair dealing in our county and
hundred affairs. Only few can hold
Office or reap the emoluments derived
thsrefrom, while the great body Of vot-
srs must look to the benefits resulting
from a wise and economical administra,
tion Of public affairs. We want low
taxes as well as the practice Of econo-
my, and therefore we ask, and every
body should sustain us in doing 81, for
the assessment of every man, and for
an honest effort to insure the payment
Of the tax into the County Treasury.
Assessors who have failed TO do their
duty should not be reelected, and the
same may be truthfully said Of the
members Of the Levy Court, as we'll as
of every ofice-holder. When the as
tendency Of a political party can only
be maintained by trickery and fraud,
honest men should withdraw their sup
port from II, and labor to bring about a
change for the better. The pecpls GER
tainly understand that parties are rem
dered better by an occasional defeat,
as the abuses that creep in where
there Is long succession Of triumphs,
are thus corrected, and the community
at large is the gamer. Voters should
not be led away with mere names or
party discipline, but should look to
considerations, and show
that they understand their own inter
ests and mean to maintain them.

Enthusiastically received in this city to-day, and
addressed large audience this evening.

view of Earl of Dunraven's letter. saying he
first found time to read it this evening. He
had been unable to account for the sensa-
ton it had created. except because its writer
was a lord. That in certain American cir
cles was sufficient. The letter is incOnsist-
ent, brainless and false. 1t accuses agita-
tors of recommending tenants in Ireland not
to pay rents, where they have only urged
tenants to secure a reduction, and to pay
shop-keepers whom they owe first, rather
than the landlords.
