LETTER FROM sAM'L TOWN.

For the Gazette.

For the Gazette.
There are many strange laws or pro-
pasitions for laws. During the ses-
sion of one of our legislative terms, and
this session is no exception; one an at
tempted revival of an old visionar y
humbug, the Choptank and Murder
kill or Breakwater ship canal. There
is no more likelihood of such canal
than a canal to the moou, and feel
sorry to hear of SO much good paper
and INK being wasted on such foolish
| ness.
Another matter is a Democratic
Legislature appropriating money from
the white people TO educate black he
publican negroes. Ii the white Re-
pubfcans think educating negroes
would make them better voters why
did they not do it before they tiamped
on our 5 ate law, to force negroes to
the ballot box to vote The Republican
ticketp Aud, did not the White Re
puulicans carry this, New Castle coun-
Iy, last fall by using time and money
to get every negro assessed, and after
ards paid nearly all the negroes taxes
and marshalled Them up to the ballot
box, to vote the Republican ticket ?
Did not the Constitution of the United
States prescribe the o ly way it could
be altered or amended Does IT, not
say any professed amendments must
first be recommended by two-thlrds
ut the States, AMI ratified by three
fouiths OF the States. The ID b, 14th
and 18th amendments so called never
received this kind of recommendation
or ratitications, and are therefore
nothing bat questionable cougression-
al amendments, therefore it is enough
Tor Democrats To submit to bad LAWS
until they can be repealed, without
aiding and trying TO improve these
4isg acelul epfranchised Republican
votels, on purpose TO vote down and
defeat he democrats.
1 have too much respect for tn
Democrats and tBeIr members OF III,
