CoHf3t lermi of six Of our Representatives on the
I Institutional Amendments has been such as to
cast cloud over the Democratic party Of New
i-astle couqty. have read all the objections
: sred by those men who wanted to defeat tue
G lsnre and to say that the Democratic party
e arriNspstle county are not in favor OF it is TO
nj ePeafs.ei66d. e Any person who read the pa
pers Of our county during the campaign, cannot
i,o,, lint know that with us it vas the issue upon
which the Democratic party carried the county.
For the gentleman from Kent county, Who'
IN vent his spleen because he could not get the
New Castle county members TO vote for him as
Sneaker of the House, (when they thought tney
had a much better and abler man for the place,)
lool,s like a very small business. There was
time when the name which he bears was
mountain of strength IN Kent and throughout
the State. but that ilustrious generation is fast
pos,ing away, and the mantle which they are
about To east off will fall on the shoulders OF a
very small pattern Of man,ii 1t falls to the gen.
tleman who openly and above board SAID ne
would do all he could to defeat the constitutional
amendments. Il strikes me that the clothes OF
the former giants when they are donned by our
present uigmy, will, TO use common express
sion fit like shirt on a bean pole; or TO illus
,rate | will 90 back half a century, 10 picture
/ nj that time. where an infant Of year aud a
half IN its night slip had, with its little bare legs,
stenned in its fathers shoes. Just so looks to me
our Keat representative when he undertakes TO
mt ON the shoes OF the late giant, who has de-
carried for better world; they will be found en-
iirely too big for him, and be will not be able to
get along smoothly, it will be only shuttle aud
a pcor one at that, he may look wonderfully
wise. but that is about all there will be to IT,
I, is well that all such show themselves in theil
true colors. so thatwe Of New Castle county may
know who We are dealing with. From the mer
of Sussex we did expect better things, an(
should they find at the next election the Dem
ocratc party Of Delaware thing OF the past
they may lay the cause Of defeat at their owl
doors. Il will not do for prominent men like j.
T. Moore. of Sussex, TO think that because they
now hold the balance Of power over New Castle
that they can always do so. There IS noihinl
manly or honorable in such work, or in the mel
who hold opinions that will not let them &C
honestly towards their fellow citizens OF anothe
county. King George, Of England, once he'll
similar views in regard to the American colonie
but he soon learned that Americans could nc
be forced into measures.
Taxation without representation caused ;h
Declaration of Independence, and the day is no
: far distant when all narrow-minded persons,who
BY mere accident, hold power for brief period
will be buried so deep in oblivion that thei
t names will never again be uttered. We,of Ne'
) Castle comfy, have put up with this injusic
, for long time but the time has come when tui
q ther furbearance ceases to be virtue II W
cannot be dealt fairly with by the men elaimin
; to be Democrats Of Kent and Sussex counties
then we can ,as New Castle county men, join t'
gether and go alone to meet an honorable defea
! rather than to place confidence in men who hay
l proved themselves traitors to the rights of Ne
+ Castle county, while at the same time professin
: 10 be Democrats. Begone, with all such wolve
] in sleeps clothing.
