WILMINGTON DEL. THURSDAY OCTOBER 10. 1852.

Philadelphia was shown up by figures that
beats anything even talked Of here,o the
speaker continued. Republican statecraft
would make two voters do the work Of
twenty.
''Stew. Woodford, understand, made a
kind OF a Sunday school speech last night
gush, g. oil English and CANNON. He
Is 30 good in New York that he couldn't
swallow Fplger and the Saratoga platform.
but geogrn phical differences and change
Of Aahitat enabled him tn ,at crow Ia Della
ware that he would throw .p ia New York. !"
He said we heard OF tissue ballots In the
SCuth-'fly specks" they are called here
aud told of how Woodford's friends ran
elections to suit themselves and "put out
the lights to count the ballots" And that
is the Republican idea Of .'more light" But
such things would not happen any more; no
more such ddos, or someone will be wear
ing striped jacket on Blackwell's Island.
Several "records' were read of thieves,
cut-throats and repeaters who had been ap-
pointed in New York and Philadelphia as
United States marshais, as San instance
OF the pure administration of justice and the
ways proposed to protect the ballots OF
honest voters" by the Republican party.
Mr.. O'Byrne had read of Mr. Harrington
allusion to drawing the fangs of copper
heads, and q variety ofother things magnif-
cent In thier way, but Of course from Sir
Richard the Mighty no exaggeration OF
statement was 10 be expected. His asser-
tlon that the Republican party had put down
the war was absolutely false. Five quasi
rebel States had contributed 375, ,085 men to
the defense of the Union, while Is Republi.
| can States had sent only 373 900. The Re
publican majorities In all the States had
been maintained during the war, showing
conclusively that the Democrats were doing
the fighting while the Republicans remained
| at home.
One of the great dangers menacing us IL
| the growth Of corporate power, and 1t affects
every man deeply. ~ fear that If the
| country is not put into the hands of the
Democratic party 1t will have to be settled
In the French fashion"
The Republican party was charged with
sustaining the monopolists and making vast
grants of public lands to railroad companies
/ by which farmers In the West were com
PEELED to buy farms that really belonged II
them from railroad agents. The Republi
can party was no friend to the workingman
and in the last Congress the revenue law
were fooled with, tax taken from needless
luxuries while necessaries were left a
tley were.
/ Speaking OF the good management Of thi
State he declared that under the fosterin,
care of Democracy, Delaware has gone OF
in its career of prosperity and political in
dependence. Nowhere on this planet to-da,
were 1872 900 men governed for $4,000
year, as within the four corners OF this littl
State.
The whole Democratic management wa
eulogized, the course of the judiciary beinl
as pure as the icicles upon Diana's temples
Mr.. O'Byrne concluded as follows: 9Th
stronghold of honesty, economy and goot
government is being attacked, and We will
show them that we will preserve Delawar
free and prosperous under old time condi
tions and old time freedom.
All through his speech Mr. O'Byrne wa
continually interrupted by laugher and az
plause and sat down amid cheers.
HON. BENJAMIN T. BIGGs
was introduced and said that although
was past the meridian of the life he was jus
as good a Democrat as ever. Mr.. Bigg
spoke for about half and hour In his usua
happy manner, bringing the house dow
with roars of laughter.
