Mn. EpIToR:-As an humble citi-
zen mot desiring prominence above my
humble calling In the community, !
feel somewhat . repugnance to enter
my Judgment Of the qualifications Of
persons for public positions to serve
the community when chosen a. their
representatives to important places
where the general interest OF all
throughout the body polite il inter
ssted. Are they not selected by their
party organizations ~ men Of inteli-
.ence capable by their Judgment in
distinguishing that which is for the
best interests Of The people rs COM
munity at iar.ef II such is not the
case, then have been misguided all
my mauy years Of life. Assuming
thai have not been misled. lido claim
tue iiyht to remark that / think every
individual member Of our General
Assembly was chosen as having the
standard Of intelligence which should
direct him in the cause Of Justice and
equity between rights and wrongs,
without the aid Of what are termed
borers, who are generally the paid
hirelings Of parties, and who demean
themselves (for money! and represent
or miszepresent, rs will best serve his
employer, in the premises, and care
not who may suffer SO that he, the
borsr, get what is promised him or
perhaps has already recsived (for
{ hey seldom wsrk without an advance)
/ cannot perceive nor understand why
persons aiming the intelligence OF
one suitable for the making of laws
governing the people will tolerate the
presence of bore when he actually
knews (if In no other way) when ap-
preached, that he 10 misrepresenting
he truth from the very position he
takes. For the validity Of my asser-
ton, I will take the all absorbing
question Of the Delaware Western r.
X. Company now before the Lsgisla-
ture, which read from the reports OF
the several papers Of our city, that
there appears to be no objection TO it
by any one, believe, in the State, on
ly by these hirsling bores Of the p,
w. d B. Co., which company is styled
q monopoly, and conclude that in
her opposition to the application OF
the d. w. Road, makes q truth Of the
10 called monopoly, and in her every
effort to defeat the d. w. Co. bill
stamps her in..her every act, and must
prove to the public that by the action
Of bores in the interest Of the p. W.
& b. Co. places her before our Gem
munity as one Of the verisst Of mo-
nopolies. And now when the public. in
this county know from whence the
opposition comes they feel indignant
TO learn that the members of the Leg
islaturs will listen to or tolerate the
many false representations made by
these borers, who are the paid instru-
ments working wholly in the great in
forests Of monopoly, and care no more
for any company's (only what they
receivs) success, than il there was NO
question ia the matter. can en-
phatically and truthfully say to the
members Of the Legislature that it is
the universal desire (outside the P,
w. & B. Co. people) in this city and
county that the z laware Western
charter should be adopted without .
dissenting voice for it will benefit our
city, county and State, also a mOnu-
ment filed with eulogims for their
action lasting many years that will
come. Yours
OLD DEMOCRAT.
