4 MISREPRESENTATION CORRECTED.
It must be very pleasing 10 every true Democrat
c Republican, as well as to every honest man o


any party, to observe the arts and contrivaoces o
Mr. Harkcr and the friends OF Mr.. MLane, Ia


cndeayor 10 secure his -elecon-for there must


be serious doubts 10 the minds of his friends, o


bis success, when they resort to vile misrepresen


tations to ensure but discerning and enlight


ened public cannot be imposed upon always; the


cloven foot will discover itself, and an honest peo.


pie will shrink from the monster.


! The Delaware Gazette of the 5th inst, In the


editorial column, under the head of Representative


to Congress-" speaking of the favorable opinion


expressed by Mr.. Miner, of Mr.. MLane, says
The opinions expressedby MIR. Miner correspond,


We believe, with the sentiments of nine tenths Of
the people of Delaware, and were ably and gene.
rously enforced by large number of the Demo
cratic party IN our State, by memorial to their


ferees, previous to their late nomination of cand


date OF their own in opposition to MIR. M'Lane. We
believe, moreover, that the nomination which they
have made, is with no expectation and from no de-


sire, In the great and respectable body Of the party
to defeat his electon-but from an impression that
other parts OF their ticket needed a congressional
nomination to aid them, however nominal in its
character or hopeless of success it might be" That
the foregoing is an artut political trick, the fol.
lowing statement of facts will show. The memo.
rial spoken Of, that was presented to the Democrat
ic conferees, at Dover. had the large number of 43
names to it; confined with few exceptions, TO
Chistiana Hundred; and number OF these have
since acknowledged that they were deceived; tina,
they signed 1t without having time to read it, and
from being impressed with belief that it related to
the next presidential election, some object dffe
rent from the real ore. The conferces examined
the memorial, but discovering its object to be dia
metrically opposite to the will and wishes of the
whole Of the Democrstic party part Of the signers
OF the petition excepted) they gave permission to
the petitioners to withdraw the petition and went on
TO nominate, unanitnously DAVID HAZARD for
Governor, and DR.. ARNOLD NAupAIN for Repre-
sentative to Congress and far as could be ascer


tanned, the people were so unanimous q. in
their wish that these two men should be selected
and the conierec. appeared perfectly certain of their
success-judging from the sentiments of the people
from every part of The state. With respect to the
nomination Of Representative being made to aid the
rest OF the ticket that is the very contrary Of what
the active advocates and ,igners OF that memorial
maintained


Now, the facts stated, and the public can Judge
Tor themselves, how much credit ought to be attach
ed to the statements of our opponents, Wlto seem
to know great deal more than euer happened But
perhaps they inspired Is it by the good euil
spirite 0NE OF THE LATE CoNFEREEs.
