ratify the nomination of John l*. Cochran,
Erfij., ot Nexv Castle County, for Governor,
and James Williams, Esq.. o( Kent County,
for Representative in Congress ; and that wo
congratulate our wholo party und people
upon having secured in them candidate* of
tho highest character and fitness whoso up
right. capable und uaelul lives justly entitlo
them to tho confidence and support of all true
Iriends of honest and capable government
in both htato and National affairs.
3. hcBolved, That tho Demoorutio party of
State in tho selection of such reputable
candidates has pro von itself to bo th
exponent of that decent public opinion
which seek* to repress and bring to un ond
the tlagrunt and wido-eproad oilicial corrup
tion and incompotency of tho times ; and that
in the nomination ef a Now Cusllo County
candidato for Governor our party bus also
proven itself faithful to the first right* and
claims of our county, whilo the recreant Re
publican party has been faithless to our poo
plo und false to a" i's vuuntud i ledges and
platform professions.
4. Resolved, That tho representation of
Now Castle County, in both Launches of our
State Legislature is unjustly apportioned and
should bo iucroused ; and that our candidates
for the next General Assembly
structed to make every effort and
honorable means at its nextsossion
plish this just und desirable end.
6. Jienotvtd, That
true
be
I
to
hereby in
every
uccom
... , deeply sympathize
with the overburdened tax-puyer und work
ingman, and demand thut in both Btato and
National legislation such action as willspccd
ily relievo capital and labor from all unjust,
unnecessary and oppressive burdens and ex
actions,
6, Resolved, That we warmly approve ol
the progress made by our lust General
Assembly in amending our State Constitution,
and our revenue, attachment, und exemp
tion laws, thereby exempting one half of the
workingman's wages from attachment and all
tho wages of his wifo and minor childron;
and increasing the amount exempted from
execution from 8100 to about 8300; and
greatly reducing our taxes and those other
burdens of government which press hardly
upon the capital, labor, and necessities of the
people.
7, Resolved, That we heartily favor tho total
repeal of all laws for tho attachment ol wages,
and all such furthor legislative and constitu
tional reforms as the exigencies of tho times
und the Just claims and real
classes orthe people
may require.
8, Reeohed. That we congratulate the peo
ple of our County and State upon tho oapa
ublo, honest and economical administration
of our County und ätate Governments under
Democratic control, and proudly contrast our
creditable and prosperous management of
affairs with the incompetent.corruptund ruin
ous rule of the Republican party in our
{States of the South, in the national
eminent, and in that portion of oui
county in which they have so long hold sway;
und that we confidontly appeal to ull good
citizens and true Do'awarcans to join us in
effort to preserve the people, the proper
ty, tho institutions, and tho good name and
fair fame of our State from the ruin and dis
honor of Radical ucero rule.

A Lover's Clever Stratagem.
At Toledo, the other day, Esquire
Raines terminated a rather roinanti«
and originally gotten up fiut-clas elope
mont, by uniting in wedlock, John \V.
Shroyer, of Waterloo, and Miss Mary
Krantz, from six miles north of La Porte
City.
It seems that for some time they had
contemplated matrimony,but for an equal
length of time the father of the fair Marx
had firmly, if not fiercely, insisted that
no such affair should ever occur, and wa
moving her by nig^t from place to plai
in order that no meeting should take
place between the lovers. But they were
determined, fearless and ready, and ac
cordingly young Shroyer procured one of
Wat ir loo's most spanking livery rigs,and
proceeded to La Porte City,and was soon
in private and earnest consultation with
his lawyer.
As the young lady was of age, habeas
corpus, etc., were uuggesteu, but would
not answer the emergency such process
being too slow, when immediate act ion
was necessary. At last a happy thought
occurred to Mr. Shroyer, which was suc
cessfully carried out thusly : He remem
bered once having dropped liis breastpin
and Mary playfully picking it up had
kept it. Capital! lie would have her
arrested that very night for stealing hi.-;
pin!
Ho accordingly swore out a warrant
before Justice McQuilkin. Constable A.
Cotton immediately proceeded to the
domicile of the cruel and obdurate " pa
rient," closely followed by Shroyer, and
arrested the girl at- 2 o'clock Tuesday
morning, before the very eyes of the
father and another r.uitor for his daugh
ter's hand, whom the father—but not t he

The officer had proceeded about forty

says it was tho liveliest driving ho ever
did—trying to keep up with that Water

Shroyer withdrew his ticth
