We have no doubt that Delaware can
AXE care Of herself, aud can frame and
PASS some measure az the laws that are
.lgeedy in force are not sufficient to stop
bribery at the elections. This tendency
% centrslizing all power in the Federal
government bodies no good to the people
" this county. They have their rights
md powers, and are protected in prop.
'rty and person by State laws, and il will
's sad day for the people of this com
ny when the general government is given
control Of property and the suffrages OF
he yeomen of this land of liberty. We
incerely hope that the State laws will
meet the general demand for reform in
his question, and that there will be
nough conservatism and sound ju5g-
nant in Congress TO let this attempt to
,uard the elections alone, as not being
proper subject for Congressional legis-
alton. Delapareaa.
