ence has been made to the speech of
Senator Bayard before the Peace
Convention, at Dover, on June 27th,
1861. In this reference it is stated
by Erery Ereaing that
"Dana straightway sent a man
down into Delaware, who was oblig-
ingly furnished by Mr.. c. Z. John
son, of the DELAWARE GAZETTE,
with a file containing a report of the
speech in question"
When the representative of Mr..
Dana and the San called at the
GAZETTE office, few months ago,
and asked to see the files of the
DELAWARE GAZETTE of 1861, they
were furnished by our clerk without
questions as to who the gentle
man was or what he wanted, as has
been customary in our absence.
When the editor of the GAZETTE
came into the room, observing a
gentleman copying from the files, he
took the liberty to address him ON
the subject and ask an explaua-
ton. The reporter gave us his card,
and said in substance that he had
copied the report of a speech of
Senator Bayard from the files of the
Republican, and believing it to be
very garbled and unfair version of
the speech he had come to examine
our files, and finding that an editorial
alluded to the speech rs being cor
rectly reported he was making a copy
of it; but if he could not take a copy
of it he would have to be content
with Republicans false and garbled
report. That he had but little time
as he was going to Dover to secure
other records. We replied that it
had been long time since 1851, and
demanded time to read the speech
before going further. This we did;
and we found in it nothing that
Mr.. Bayard would himself con-
ceal. Had he been present he
would have done just as we did
and so would any of his best friends.
The speech has since been very fav-
orably commented upon. When Sen
ator Bayard gave the GAZETyE a re-
vised copy of it he did 50 to meet the
occasion when it would be called up
for criticism, how faithfully the pro-
duction has been kept through all the
time of excitement, during which it is
currently believed the writer of the ex-
tract quoted above was, with others,
seeking to have the GAZETTE office
mobbed and all it's files destroyed. and
charging the Messrs. Bayard with be-
ing rebels and enemies of their coun-
try, the sequel shows. Those who re-
member the violent language used to-
ward ex-senator Bayard and the pres
ent Senator by The Republican, the
Journal and Statesman aud the In
quirer, then published by the late
James Montgomery, and the de,erm-
ined manner with which they were de
| Tended by the GAZETTE need not be
reminded of The sen iments then pro
mulgated by Montgomery, and by ".
7. CroaSdale, who Is now vindi-
eating what he then condemned the
GAzKTrE for publishing. \ perusal
Of the files Of The above papers would
doubtless be very refreshing to tile
memory of some gentlemen at this
time
We cannot understand why It is
sought to make il appear that Mr..
Tilden and Mr.. BAyard are hostile to
each other Il certainly does not ap-
pear wise to discard OF repel the .utlu-
enoe Of a gentleman Of such aeknowl-
edged weight and Importance as Mr..
Tilden. That will certainly not be the
course which the delegates from Dela-
ware to Cincinnati will pursue.

"IT ought to be held crime for an
American to hate any portion of his

the day when no man or party will
