LETTER FROM SAMUEL TOWN
SEND.

For the Gazette.
The election is over, Gnd through
hypocrisy, fraud, treachery and bri-
berry the Democratic patty have lost
their candidate. The North pretended
they feared the South, the Solid South,
and to try to appease their fears and
to show the kind feelings Of the whole
Democracy Of the nation they nomi-
mated Q Northern Union General, of
Montgomery county, Pa, named Han
cock. Notwithstanding this guaran-
tee Of peace, the Republicans opposed
bim as strong rs If he had been Jeffer-
son Davis, although this said Han
cook made an admission that the 14th
and 18th pretended amendments Of the
constitution were . finality. He was
not authorized to mako no such ad-
mission, and no man who accepts Re-
publican frauds as o flnality, 10 fit to
| be o candidate Of the Democratic par
ty, and no Democratic Presidential
candidate has any right, to only accept
or not, the platform. II he accepts,
shut his mouth, il he does not accept

had gone out Of his road, and the
South had forgiven or overlooked his
expressions, the old Abolition Union
splitters North abused and held him as
guilty Of treason as JEFF Davis, whilst
they made out of Longstreet Minis
ter to Turkey. This campaign has
settled tho matter of National Demo-
cratic nominations. Hereafter the true
policy of the DeLlocrats Of the United
States, will be for the solid South
Democrats to nominate candidate
for President and Vice President to
run on such platform that is entirely
agreeable to the old slave States, and
keep q Solid South, then the Demo-
crats North make such platform
that is entirely agreeable to free State
Democrats, and nominate Democratic
candidates for President and Vice
President to run on said platform and
oppose the Republicans In said free
States, and by this means get thePres-
ldent and Vice President Of one or the
other Democratic parties, and If fail
ing any time to do that, could always
control the Senate and House. A
move of this kind would break up this
Northern Negro Republican parGy, as
each State or county could adopt any
measure to defeat the Republican par
ty, who stop at nothing.
How to come down to our own State,
| many years ago j. A. Alderdioe, then q
member of the Legislature from New
Castle hundred, proposed In our Legis-
lature representation according to popu-
lation. Some OF our Dover Democratic
friends wrote for me. /! went down;
| thew asked me- what would bo the best
, thing to do under the circumstances. y
. told them to make two counties out ol
New Castls-Brandywine, Christiana
, and Mill Greek Hundreds, and the city
Of Wilmington to make one county, and
then the Blk lower hundreds (now seven
hundrsds) to make another. These
Dover Democrats were well pleased
with nay suggestion, and had the laws
examined and found the Constitution
would have to have few slight altera.
tions' This they promised to do but
when the present danger passed away,
they disreR arded their promises, and ai
tho last session Democratic mem bers oi
the Legislature Knocked at our misery
; In the lower end of this, Now Castle,
, county, and voted to remove the Court
House from our ancient capital, New
Castle, to Wilmington, ON purpose, a.
some ignorant men in the Lsglslaturs
said, to prevent representation In New
Castle county. Now ut the late election
Brandywine, Christiana, Mill Greek and
Wilmington city rewarded you by Civ
ing Republican majoritIes. You, Kent
and Sussex men have disfranchised she
Democrats Of the hundreds south Of
! Wilmington to help your Republican
| | friends above. Now take notice the Re
publioans as their State convention las
summer passed resolutions in faver o
elscti ne mem bers of theLegislature insin
gle districts (hundreds), and We The Dem
ocrsts Of this, Appoqulnimiek, L, Hundred
intend this coming session Of the Legis
|, lature to petition tor the election oi
members Of the Legislature and Levy
Court by separate hundreds, districts
and IL you men who are elected rs mem
bers of the next Legislature refuse to dc
: common justice to your Now Castle Dem
ocratic friends you can receive crush
, ing defeat in 1882. Understand, we de
not intend to beg any longer; we wan
Justice and our rights, and We mean II
{ have them, as we have been beaten .
, | the last election through your selhsl
legislation. SAMUEL ToWNsEND.
