Mr.. Charles b. Lore's address to the
Iwocrats of Wilmington, who met

~ Is very pretty aud inspiring one and

bre had just been elected President OF
! Va Democratic City Association, and
Recourse felt good, and with the bright
Inspect before him of becoming the
JAmocratic nominee for Congress from
blaware, he had right to feel good.
fe can readily conceive how much
r, Lore felt like congratulating his
Fellow Dem ocrats" and telling what
thigh honor it was for him to be the
Resident of the City Association. Inc
emocracy had just recovered from
ing and exhaustive war between the
wallow tail" and lover all factions
the rarity, and as Mr.. Martin Farrell
PEACEFULLY retired MIR. Lore as grace
(lly, with bows and smiles, took Mr.

arous plauiits came loud and long,
Notwithstanding the miserable accoLs

bowed his arms that were nerved Tor

as for the cause; and his tongue, now
leaped from its escapement 10 pro

kcy, and altogether, like steed eager

nom the outer walls. The omens OF
he times, Mr.. Lore said, were favorable

br,ous. Mr.. Lores little speech was
Fluent of. hand piece of eloquence, and
was not malred by a word OF abuse
the Repu blican party. In this re-
beet he has shown marked improve

esire to get Republican votes to aid in

Lore very much neglected in his little

We are afraid that these laws wer

strange too, that Mr.. Lore should hav
bsyer thoa ght Of the unequal represen

that our eioquet4t ffiend shonhi omit o
