Mastkn.s I'O'tNK.na, Mispillion Hundebd, 1 ,N *be State uv Delaware, J. May 28,1870. ( To say th at I am delitod with the Dimoensy uv Delaware is toyoose a mizably laint expr c . gs | fln They hev all the easy* coin fsi’.ti of the Kentuckian without his lerocitv ; they hold jest ez firmly to the ruso r A>Bln'us of ’9B; they drink with ez nii’ gh alacrity; they ginerally go bareI'Vited, and hate the nigger with an intensity I never saw ekalled. In the matter uv likker they are simply grate. I sew one old vetran wich votld Tor Jason, take down a clean half pint uv burning flooid, wich the most restless-minded citiaen uv the Corner hed jest diskivered and bought ez a aubstitoot f-'r taller dips, and walk off erect under it. There’s bowels for yoo! Wood that I wus blest y;ith sichl I hev diskivered that the prevalin idee that a cold climit is nessary to the enjoyment uv grate, quantities uv likker is a mistake. Co\j ( q> 8 tron, enables a man to take it in, out then when it’s wunst in a man in A cold country it stays. Yoo ca ?.. t ,.rink quite ez much to wunst under 11 1* 1 ’ jii hot sun, but then it sweats it out J l7 . you, and you kin drink oltener. But <£us is a digression. The Democrjsy uv Delaware, ez I sed, soot me. In other States wher they hev di unken Senators they are ashamed uv cm; Delaware is abslootly proud uv Haulsbury, and wooden’t change at no prize. Then in addishen to Saulsbury we hev the whippin post and a white man’R party, so that in Delaware at least he tokens uv high civilizashen are not likely to become extinct. Thank the Lord lor Delaware.

Mr. Wm. Sapp, familyerly knowd ez Old Bill Sapp, at whose house I wuz assined quarters, is a constooshnel grosery keeper, and at his house is held the conl'renccs uv the p£hihcla uv the State. Yesterday Saulsbury and Bayard, the U. S. Senators, and Gove’Saulsbury, Governor, and others wuz present. The Dimocracy uv the Corners insisted that qz thev required their candidates to pledge-their-selves not to accept uv nigger votes, that the uv the State ehood hev resined the moment a nigger Senator wuz ndinittid. Saulsbury didn’t see it in that lito. Troo it wuz a degredashen, but one wich they cpotent avoid. Thcro wuz a diffrense between voluntary and involuntary assosiashe’n with niggers. Es a man voluntarily ftollssUs nigger voles lie is to be held guilty; es an outside power forces niggers onto kite, he can’t help it and is immsent. He' and his colleague Bayard coodeut help this outrage; Revels wuz forst into their sosiety against their will. They yvuz, so as tb speak, morally ravisht. They resisted, but in vain.

Two uv the best Dlmocrats present related tliei* experience in Washiriton. Their idee ut Senators hcd bin formed from Saulsbury, and they sposed they wuz all like nim. Bein in Washinton they determined to bear testimony agin the admission uv nigger Senators to degrade their Representatives. So they decided to visit all the places, wich, from their knowledge u.* Senatorial life they sposed Senators visited, and demand es they sold likker to Revels, and es the anser wuz in the affirmative they wood walk out indignantly. They-went so fur ez to organize the little speech they wuz to git off on them wich sliood confess to admittin a nigger to ther bar.

"Sir!” they proposed to say to him, “ Sir 1 we are proud Caucashens, and we can't countenance an admixter uv inferior races with - Keep your likker, sir, for niggers—white men hev no biznis here.” “Do yoo sell likker to RevelsT” they askt, uv the first one. * “No, sir 1” wuz the response, whereupon they took a drink. Immejitly they entered another. “Do yoo sell likker to Revels? ” "No, sir!” whereupon they took a drink with him, and so on eight or ten times, drinkin at each bar wich gave them that anser, tu show their approshashon .uv men who coodent degrade theirselves by dealin with an inferior race. The twelfth place : “S’U likker to Revels?” "No, sir.” c ‘‘Set em up! ’Rah for Constoohn and Ameriky for white men!” And takin ther tods they swung out into another one. “Likker to Revels?” “No, sir.” “ S’m up. ’Meriky for wite men 1 Rah! A ndinto still another one. • Likker Revelß ? ” “ No, sir I” “ Likker fr ns zcn. Meri—(hlcl—ky f r wile men. ’Rah—(hie).” The next place finished one oy em. He gasped, “D—n Rev—,’’and sank lovingly on the buzzum uv his mother earth. The other Wasn't so far gone, owin to his sooperior mental organizashen. Ho reeled off in a brown study, and went up to the Capitol. Returninln about an noiir, he shook up his friend. .... “ Mordeky,” sed be, “ git up. Mordeky, we’ve been dcceeved. Mordeky, we mite go a j over Washinton, into evjy, d—(ic) —s’loon and not find a single place where they sell likker to Revels. Mordeky, that

kpe-llkfe, degradid, Inferior bein is a Methodis preecher, and don’t drink a d—n drop uv nothin.” And uttering snorts uv disgust at sich Senators, they came home. The Democracy, ay the Corners is not ez harmonious ez cood be wished. The nigger hez split em hefc. There are perhaps a dozen niggers in the visinity who take tber tods reglerly, and heretofore Sapp hez supplied em. The Democrlsy pertested agin this, and refoozed yesterday to paternize his bar es he didn’t stop sellin to em. Willyum smiled a sardonic smile and tole em to be blest. They did withdraw ther paternage, but it wuz only for two hours. Willyum hez the only bar in tho corners, and he knowd his power. It didn’t take long for cm to exhaust ther curator bottles, and then they ht 4 to return to him on his terms. . . <• , 11 It’s a fearful thing for one mam to hev the power Sapp fields. The only bar in sich a community 1 Thank Heaven, lie' loves me. Petroleum V. Nash*, Wich waz Postmaster.
