The usual September «•«»unty meeting will l>e held in the court room at New ('ostle on nex 1 Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The convention will in one of the upper rooms of the Court House—the Grand Jury or Petit Jury room—and while they are transacting their business the county meeting will be addressed l»y several gentlemen of the Democratic Party whom all will be pleasod to hear speak upon important national und State* questions. John P. Uochran, Esq., our candidate for Governor, will be present ; but will not preside, assigning that duty to one of the Vice Presidents. Hon. Jamk8 Williams, our candidate for Representave in Congress, from Kent county, will also bo present and tnay address the meeting. Senator Bayard, w* ure authorized to say, will be present and address his constituents on the importance of the present contest in this State, and its bearing upon the question of local self government, and the necessity there is for a Roprsentativo in the Lower House of Congress who will not misrepresent the opinions of the people of «»n the most vital questions of social pol eut at 1 o'clock State Aj. Other gentlemen may also be present und speak, but we are not authorized to mention any other names. It is hoped that the meeting will l>e large, and invitation U extended to till of our fel low citizens who feel determining the future attitude of Dela ware; whether bho shall be classed with the States whose governments shall be deep interest in continued in the hand* of the posterity of the white inhabitants puss from them partially into the hands of the posterity of the negroes. Thia question is paramount to all others in our State at thus time. The other questions relut mg to the State tax and State debt, are of minor importance since, happily for us, our State affairs rest in such au envi able condition that. may point witli eiultant pride to the fact that our i>eo pie have reduced the State debt uisirly 5200,000, and the State Treasurer is now offering to pay off about $60,000 more of our bonds. We would be glad to wel liundrods of heretofore Republi cans at our meeting on Saturday, hoping that thoy see and feel the importance of keeping the government of our dear lit tle State from Die hands of the spoilors. If we can tide over another campaign we may rest assured that the people will be sick of tho horrible fanaticisms grow ing out of the war. In our own city tho evil is fast curing itself; and tho ex tremists are beginning to feel and see the errors that have flown from their past course here, an« l errors that would produce similar or worse evils were the Radicals allowed to get control of the Ht ate and County governments. Cherring. No victory haa )»een j friends of the Democratic cause in all parts of the Ktftte os that which friends achieved in this city on Tuesday. We trust, however that they will net be misled by it. Tho enemy i.s hard nt work and will spare no effort to unite hia bro ken and demoralized forces lor tho great contest should they be nllowod to the least hope for success through inert ness, apathy or divisions in our ranks. With prudence and energy tho victory m November for t he white man's cause will be complete. Hut to rnuke it cer tain and sure every Democrat i •*d to render all his aid, and spare no ef turt to secure harmonious action. No one who holds our cause sacred can now refuse this. Let us prepent a firm and solid front to the black tide corruption that threatens to engulph the State, and thus turn it aside once und forever. cheering to tho B6i îipect . t «•< i Of mon The Seventh Ward Contest. —Col.

Growing Small by Degrees.— 1 The Re* publican says it is the only Republican paper in Wilmington now. show how odious the party has grown within a few months ; since within that time there were four or five Republic papers. For the! Gazette. A He ply from Willoivgrove. Mr. Editor In glancing over the Gazette of August 21st, I chanced to notice a communication headed "From Petersburg, Delaware." So, owing to my knowledge of the place, and my acquaintance with a few of the citizens of that vicinity, I was induced to read the contribution, thinking probably that it might be the means of enabling me to hear from "the voice of the people," but 1 had not proceeded far in reading before I was gratified to know that the little piece was intended as an answer to some remarks made by your correspondent in the Gazette regarding dancing. I sny 1 was grati fied to know that such was intended for an answer, for I was iu hopes of hearing from the other side of the question. Rut in proceeding further you can imigine my disappointment in finding nothing in the piece of an instructive, beneficial, or logical na ture. It is not my design on this occa sion to oppose "Vox Populi" in all his assertions, but rather to polish up those assertions and make them more expli cit. I too like "milk for babes and meat for strong men," and there are many other things 1 like for strong men, among which are strong and steady steps ; but as for jigs I think it would be more consistent w ith refine ment and civility should they be con fined to dancing jacks. "Vox Populi" endeavors to justify the innocence and hartnlessness of dancing by indicating that all other gatherings and associations as well as dancing are associated or attended by bad people. Now', not that I w ish to make the impression upon the minds of any to the effect, that I condemn dancing because it is indulged in by bud people, but, partly, because it is indulged in by good ones, and mainly because the influences of the hall room make neither good nor bad people bet ter -, but us a general thing—like proving some folks for their faults— make them worse. Why can we not find pleasure, and recreation elsewhere, than in the dim torch lighted grove at midnight noon among the giddy groups of youth and festivity ? Why it is that many seek such ns a fountain of pleasure 1 know not, unless it. is because their ideas of pleasure consists of being jammed, run against, snubbed and piqued, bothered, detained, hindered, stepped upon, jos tled and brought, in collision with un til completely worn out and exhausted, after which they wend the way home with fevered heads and harking coughs through the damp and chilly winds of night, and then spend a few sleepless hours in bed and arise next morning to the annoyance of the whole family, which can be attributed to their dull ness, pevishness, sickness und good-for nothingness. "Vox Populi" does not deny but what dancing is indulged in by "bad people" but they seem to think if we condemn dancing on that account, we must con demn everything else by the same stand ard—the public sanctuary for installée. Hut it should be remembered that *er mons, and means of grace, derive all their virtue from the authority of j 'hriat who appointed them and has prom bless them; but the advocates of tl. ball room can never pretend that Christ uoh either ordained them or engaged t«» put his Messing upon them. So far are dances from being useful to the cause of virtue, that they are one of the most successful engines of vice that Satan ever invented. There seems to be a disposition enter tained upon the part of "Vox Populi" to remain upon the bank and"tlirow straws" by it is they are thus inclined to act, and will not wade in, even in shallow water, like unto the dipper bird, 1 know not, unless their inability to wade can be attributed to their having no legs at all. Hut 1 should be extremely grat ilied to see them wade in. August 31st, 187-4.

He was asked if he knew Wade Hampton, lie said he did, and had know n him since the lime they were both boys together. They then said to him, "Do you believe he has been ! engaged in these Kuklux out rages?" "No, I do not believe it." "Why don't you believe it?" "Because it Mar« Wade Hampton had been in it, it would have been the white man and would have 1 2d. A for ed not the negro, struck." The negroes were not our enemies; why should they heroine ho? We are their friends. Yes, ami the Southern men are the only friends thev have to day in any part* of the world. It he roines us to he their friends. Every Southern man in his memory runs bnek to the negro woman who nursed him; to the hoy who hunted and fished with him; to the man who first taught him to ride and swim, and, us lie grew to manhood,the cordial welcome given him by the old nurse, with a tender ness scarcely interior^« that of his own mother: and while Iu* has such memo ries clustering around him he cannot he the enemy to that useful race which was the main strength of our country, hielt A. y< 1 c stood i this relation, when 1 believe God intended us to If we have been diverted from such re lation, and if hostility lias sprung up to uny extent, it has been the work of th«»s«* incendiaries who have come in to destroy the natural relations of the races, and thus fomenting a discord l»y prodtieing the evils which now- exist in society. But my frieiids.it rests with you, wliutovt r be the result, to show to the world that you are incapable of secret crime, that you hate the man that weui'Ha mask, and whatever it is necessary for the publie peace to do, you intend to do t hat openly and manfully.
