!From tbs Totedo Btodo.l MR. NARBY GIVES A DESCRIPTION OF THS DEMOCRACY OF DELAWARE WITH WHOM HR IS ASSOCIATED—THE BEGINNING OF THE ORGANIZATION OF THE “ WHITE MAM'S PARTY” OF THAT STATE. Mirrw'i Comma, Morruom nrroann, ) m ths Bt*ti or DsLawaaa, > JaaaSAtsro. I The people uv the State uv Delaware, or rather the Democrisy uv Delaware, come newer to my idee uv wat Dlmocrata ought to be than any I hev ever come across yit The Kentuckian is good, but I hev seen Kentuckians who wuz restless and dieoontenttd. I hev knowd uv Kentuckians who did take stock in railways, who did now and then nail up the clapboards on their houses when they had become loose, and who did wear shoes in summer. But no Dimocrat uv Delaware wuz ever knowd to do anything uv the kind. They are an intensely religious people, with a faith in Providence wich I never saw surpassed. They bleeve that the same Providence wich brot em into this world will take keer uv cm, and they let him do it with an easin is and abandon wich to me is dclitefuL The most satistyin spectacle my eyes ever restid onto is the front porch uv Rapp’s grocery at this present time. There they set, leanin back on them unwhittled chairs, (no Delaware Democrat ever whittles) with their feet onto the rail in front uv em, each with his head layin flatwise on the wall, and all fast asleep. All is still! The flics buzz pacefttlly about their noses, which ornaments tempt them by their joocyness, but repel 'em by their red-hot brillaincy. Like everything else about this section the flies is an undecided lot But ever and anon one fly, more hungry than his fellows, lites on the nose uv some slumberin patriarch ; he bites; the Saint makes an exertion to brush him efi and awakes. Awakin he takes a drink wich awakes all the rest who also take a drink, after wich they go to sleep agin. Sapp loves flies and sez he’s makin experiments on a more lively breed, a more darin and enterprisin fly wich’ll keep ’em awoke more uv the time. Ov coarse we hevn't got no railroads.— There wuz one projected thro’ this section but the citizens wuz horrified at the idc Mfc . “ Wat t" said they, “ shel we hev a screechin ingin to keep from hffvin our reglar afternoon and forenoon nap? Never I” “ But,” said the projectors. “ it’ll increase the valyoo of yoor real estate." “ Real wat ? ” asked these innocents. “ Real estate—land." “ Wat good would that do us; ” replied the sturdy yeomanry, “when nobody wants to sell?" and they would hev stoned the railroad party, had it been a cool day so that the exertion of gettin the stones woodent hev worried em. Bill Snap wuz so pleased at the spirit they showa that all that day he kept the flies off uv em hisself while they slept, wich they did ez soon cz the railroad party Wtiz out uv site. I not Ist one uv em a layin on the broad uv his back, the other day, a swallerin oysters wich a nigger boy wuz openin. “Sammy," sez this youth’s parent to him, the old man a lyin on his back the while, “Sammy, its a merciful arrangement that oysters aint got no legs, aint it, Sammy ?” “I don’t see that,” sed Sammy, “es they had legs there’d be more meat into em?’ “Yes; but, my son,” returned thj§ ajjcient, “es j C g 8 an( i ghood yoose em ever £s' little, we 'd never git an We arc ez bizzi ez we kin be arrangtn for the campane this fall. We hed a meetin at the county seet yesterday, re-organizin the party on a broader basis, so that conservative Renublikins who feel outraged, that a naterally inferior race hez bin put onto a level with em kin co-operate with em. The meetin held till late in the evenin, but it wuz intensely intrestin throughout —indeed I may eaV that it was trooly a refreshin season. We. adoptid a platform embrscin the follerin idees: 1. The emancipSShun uv the nigger wuz an outrage agin with we protest, and wich we demand be reversed before it is everlastinly too late. - 2. Thb nigger iz an inferior bein, and does not -possess the intelligencerekisite to a proper yoose uv the ballot. 3. The attempts uv the disturbin Radikels uv Delaware to abolish the whippinpost filjs us w)th intense alarm,. It bein a landmark. 4. The clamor uv the disturbin Radikels uv Delaware for free skools, is a blow at Democrisy, and is jest cz alarmin ez thcixriviuand to doawuy with the whippin ppet

In the ‘ inMoin campane the “ White Man’s Party’" will bear onto their tanners the follerin inskripshens: “No nigger votin—The ballot in the hands uv the intelligent race—No free skools —The whip pin post forever—The constooshen ez it wuz, Delaware ez it is, forever.” I made the reglar skriptooral argyment, interdoosin Canaan, Hager and Onesymus, wich, however, didirt hev much effect ez none uv em hed ever heerd uv these ii.dividooals. I wuz disconcerted somewhat when wun uv em askt me es Canaan wuzn’t one uv them cussed Radikels in Wilmington. Bill Sapp, however, got their attenshun when he mentioned the fact to show their entire worthlessness ez citizens, that the entire nigger trade at his bar didn’t amount to a hundred dollars a year, wich wuz less than any one uv the proud Caucashen race eypexiued with him. Mordeky Bender bore testimony to the alarmin ignorance em, wich totally onfits em for;tJij|Jflfih*t’ after wich I wuz rekested by jjtne meetfn to put the resolooshuns passed onterjJaper, ez the Secretary coodn’t write. I sejested that perhaps some older,, citizen shood do the work, but ez none uv em cood write I did it,-after wich we adjourned. We returned home jjwo a village in wich the niggers hev a majority wich wuz forchunit, for there a site met our vision wich not only enthused the vetrans of the party f but strengthened the doubters and confirmed the waverin. Rite there in that village, facin the whippin-post, that timehonored institooshn wich Radikelhm seeks to destroy, t hese degraded'beins hed ercctid a shool-house, wich we wuz informed wuz being run by nigger preachers uv the Methdist persuasion. It wuz brite moonlite, and thro the winders we cood see the accusid spellin books, damnable slates, and another innovashen, a wash-bowl and towel, the latter on a roller. In our richus indignashen we would hev burnt it to the ground,-but unforchnitly none nv us had a match, and ez the neerest house where we cood get one wuz perhaps 40 rods out uv our way, the exe> shen wuz considered too revere for the good to be attained. But the site uv it hed a good efleck. The White Man’s Party nv Masten’s Corners may be sed to be now a perfect struckter without a weak spot in it. We hev employed a lawyer to see how that noosance, the nigger skoolhouee, may be legally abatid. We hed rather do it legally, es possible.

The inmates ate all his stock, and the keeper then coming up ejected him from the grounds, notwithstanding his cry, “pay tor black beme—one dollar halfee.” f
