NACTs ABouT SOLDIERS.

The Second Pennsylvania Vomn-
teers have left for home, and
the law-abiding and peace-loving
citizens OF this community will be
much rejoiced at the removal of all the
Pennsylvania troops stationed at Mont
chandn 20 their respective homes. or 20
any place out OF this vicinity. Ever
since these men have been encamped
within reach of Wilmington they have
been a constantsourceof trouble and an
noyance not only to the citizens, but
to the Police Department as well, and
the very sight OF a hoy in blue" is rap
idly becoming obnoxious, and their APP
pearance synonymous with disgusting
and disorderly conduct. Regularly as
pay day comes these soldiers come into
the city and proceed to take possession
OF It. Men and women are insulted
upon the public streets, fights are con-
SANITY occurring. and the men &c
about the city in droves drunk, ours
ing and swearing to their Bearts' con-
tent. Some OF these soldiers seem 70
think that the uniform they wear gives
them free license to l=shave as they
please, and in many cases this proves
true, for no sooner are they locked M
than along comes one OF their Officers
and has them released on the ground
that military law takes precedent ovei
civil authorities. The police conse
Quently are powerless, to a certain ex
tent, TO suppress this disorder, as be
fore a charge can be preferred the me'
are released.
They are Of no earthly benefit to any
one, excepting a few OF the low clas
dive-keepers, who have no more idea o
law and order than the people who pa
tronize their resorts. 1t may or maj
not be the fault OF the officers WIN
are in command over those regiment:
but certain it is that scarcely have th
men been taken to camp under arres
Elan they are back in town again. Tha
all the men belonging to these CON
mands are not ruffians is true, bu
where one law-abiding man is toun
ten OF the other class can be pickle
out. Some of these soldiers who hay
enlisted to fight for their country an
preserve its dignity are alike dis
grace to the state from which the
come, to the officers who have thea
in charge and to the uniform whic
they wear.

DEMOCRACY vs.. ADDICKSrSM-

There is no division or dissension in
the ranks OF the Democracy. It stands
with an unbroken front presented to
that Republican aggre cation made up
OF Regular Republicans, Union Repub-
LEANS. Higgins men, Addlcks men,
Bird men, Massey men, DUPONT men.
Morse men, Bach men, Laytonmen, Will
lis men and Hoffecker men, all OF
whom profess to be deeply attached to
one another while in reality they are
all consumd by their eagerness for fac
tional supremacy. From such a disor-
ganized and contenSious rabble the De-
mocracy has nothing to fear. Calm and
fearless work along intelligent lines is
all that is necessary to bring the de-
sired result. From this time on II Will
be the policy of the Republican news
papers to SOW seeds OF dlscord In the
Democratic ranks. To distort and mag
nifty real differences and to invent con-
troversies which have no foundation
but which are calculsted, II left UNI
challenged, to breed dissension. Every
Democrat should bear this in mind and
discount all such publications. BY sim
ply laughing at or ignoring them, he
will thwart their lying purposes. II
each Individual member OF the Demo
cratic party will perform his individual
duty, which is to register and vote,
there need be no fear regarding the out
come. Democracy will be triumphant
and Addicksism defeated.
