Delaware an q Dayard.


10 theDover Convention as being mos
enthusiastic affair, and being imbuet
suly with q desire to present to tn
country in the most favorable light, TIT
most distinguished Democratic citizeI
Of the State for the Presidency. Tha
the Democracy Of the State were equa
to the occasion, and acquitted itsell
With signal ability, was nothing strange
There was nothing for the Democracy
to do but in the most formal manner tc
elect six delegates to Chicago, wht
would vote for him as their candidate
for President. Any machine coult
have done that 1t required no plan
ming, no wire pulling. 1t was clea
case of political predestination and fore
ordination. Mr.. Bayard suited thu
Democracy of Delaware, and why seei
further ? When the State was tossed
about at the commencement of the wal
by contending interests, not known
whether it would stay in the Union Oh
light in the Southern Confederacy, Mr.
Bayard cut the Gordian knot by de,
claring In his Dover-Green speech in
1861 in favor of a peace-at-any-price
policy, even though it resulted in two
cOnfederacies side by side. This wa
practically his first appearance in pol
itics, and his policy suited the semi
rebel sentiment of Delaware, From
that time forward he was the leader OF
the Democracy OF til, State. He thought
there would he no difficulty in two ma
tions living side nv side with each
other like Canada on the north of us,
and Mexico on the south of us. and the
cuse for not lifting a hand against the
Soutb Thought 50 too On. yes. thought
Mr. Ravard LET the line he run bet yeen
the free and slave States of the nation.
and LET th, "a he two nat ,ons. with Della
ware on the Southern side Of the line,
and let the division be made peaceably
and without a struggle. Whar a terri.
HE thing war was thoupht Mr. Bavard
and the Democracy Thought so too
And this w.s Rayard's Union sneech
In this sneech his undyinp love for the
Union If his fathers push.d forth
in conious effusion. No thoupht no
