THE ORGANS Of the ''negro traders
in votes, are now doing silently or
openly all they can to enable the negro
VIM. Neal, who entered white mans
house in the country, in the absence
of the husband and family, and bru-
tally outraged the wife, to escape the
punishment for his heinous crime by
having the case transferred to the U.
8. Circuit Court and tried before
negroes upon the jury.
Remember we say the organs of
the negro suffragists-we care not who
these men are, whether pretended
Democrats or fanatical radicals. his
mans offense is rank and smells to
Heaven. 1t is even more foul than
that of the negroes Collins and Cham
bers, and yet it is sought to have
negroes upon Jury to determine the
punishment for revolving crime not
upon their own race but upon IA
white woman. Is there a white man
son, brother or husband, in Delaware
that would allow a man to breath in
his presence who had comm tied such
a horrible offense upon his wife ?
How then can they sustain a party
that makes such an effort in be-
half of the enemies of virtue-of all
tn vt is dear in human life to civilized
people. Two of the negro trader
in negro votes attacked the editor (
the GAZETTE a day or two since for
opposing the proposition to send VIM.
Neal to the Circuit Cour to be tried
by negroes on the jury in an organ of
the negro sutfragists. These poor col
ored men may be the credulous slaves
of partisans and fanatics and used
as bell-weathers to lead more illiterate
negroes. We're they not misled they
would never want a negro to set upon
a jury to determine whether a man
should be punished for such a crime
upon white woman. There is not
decent colored woman in the State
hat would not say Neal should be
punished as the laws prescribe. No
man who has drop of christian blood
in his veins should insist upon having
negro to determine this negro's pun
ishment-his guilt is scarcely ques-
toned, and yet the enactments of a
great party is made subservient to this
purpose and it's organs openly or silent
ly favor the proposition. Even the able
and eloquent attorney in the case, ap
pointed by the Court to defend the
negro, revolts at the crime. But here
is where Delawareans find the politi-
cal doctrines of the Republican party
leads-here is where good citizens and
substantial men of the Republican
party are met and asked to sanction
this interference in our well settled
law and justice by white leaders of
nearly one-half the Republican party
voters, who were forced to the polls in
'AO"e'Oh Vi CAioLlu- DoldWdTo laws,
to deprive the whites of heir due
weight of suffrages at the polls upon
both life and property.
These "b ell weathers" and negro
traders in negro votes refer to the negro
William Manlove, who entered the
house of Mrs. Jones, at Eleventh aud
Market streets, by climbing into the Sec
ond story window, sought to crafty his
lust upon poor white girl sleeping in
her chamber, and meeting resistance
attempted TO take her life by stabbine
her with deadly weapon, and then fed.
This young negro was tried, convicted
and hung, and the poor girl, fearful that
her life was in danger WAS sent out OF
the country. Yet these negro traders in
negro votes assail the GAZETTE and In
the same breath speak of the ''lame nted
William Manlove." Does not this very
sentiment prove.that under their Radical
political party teaching it is doubtful
they would in Delaware convict q
man Of their race If on a juryP What
