WE LEARN from some of our Sussex
friends that recent actions on the par.
Of some Of the "stslwar;" Republicans
Of this State has caused a great deal of
dissatisfaction in that county, and that,
therefore, in all probability very few of
Sussex people will attend the Republi-
can Convention called al Dover, on
May 9th.
It is presumed the gentlemen who led
the Republican Convention in 1878
have concluded not TO follow DR.. Welch
and bis little band of Greenbackers aDy
longer. The Doctor prides himself in
being political leader who ps Us no tax.
The Doctor, 1t seems, is anti -Bayard
rs sell as an anti-taxpayer. The last time
the Republicans met in Convention a.
Dover they seemed to concur in the
Doctors anti-taxpaying views, and re-
commended their voters to keep away
from the polls and not to vote at all
and of course the great mass of them
understood that 10 mean not to pay any
tax at all. Now it is supposed that
counter instructions will be given, and
that all will be told to perform the more
patriotic duty of paying their poll taxes
and voting.

GRAN4 AND MHxico.-It Is chrrent,
u reported that Gen. Grant's ffishds
IN the South are trying to make him
popular there as Presidential candi-
date by circulating reports connecting
his name with Mexican annexation.-
It'is said in Washington that should
he be elected he win take enough ter
ritory from Mexico to form fourteen or
fifteen 8 ates. This may be popular
with few politicians in the South
But the people who lead popular .opin-
ion there ara evidently tired of war;
and want q season of actual peace,
They will therefore mot vote for Grant
if they suppose he win bring ON arwari
for more territory. They have enough
just now. If, however, in the course
of events, it should become necessary
to again invade Mexico to securepeace
on our borders, no doubt the party in
power will retain a large part Of the
adjacent territory that our troops may
conquer. .3E test ri .0llf 10 aa
