Senator itaulsbeiry est the Stnvap. . •Some Sint Old Amumenas At Newark, Del.,Senator Saulsbury has been 'addressing a Democratic mass-meeting. From a report of his speech_ in. the Wilming ton Commercial we make the following ex tract: He wished it. distinctly understood that he had no right to speak for the Democrats of New Castle county, but so far as the lower counties were concerned, he would say they would have nothing to do with the negroes. They did not want their votes. They may go „• po ls. and „vote.,...but t lie _Dem oerata e party will continue to be a white:man's party. The issue . will be plain and simple. If you waiit - the State governed.by the negro popu lation,_ vote the . Republican ticket; if not, then vote with the Democrats. The question is : "Who shall govern this State?'',Any One still admit that of white men 'alone aldne there are more Democrats than RepublicanS. If the Republicans succeed;-then;. it must be by black votes. The five thousand ,01* six. thou sand black voters will determine the charac ter of our State government.. Wiliyou stiffer this glorious little State to' be given over to the rule of an ignorant, degraded and ViCioll.9 population. _Why did - Washington and his noble army pass near This town nearly one hundred years ago on their way, to the Brandywine? It was that the people of all the States might enjoy civil and consti tutional liberty, a constitutional Government of white then .by white men. Did it ever oe ,etir to ;them that they were doing all they did jinkr•to give"negroee the right of 'suffrage? Werelhe - Semen - notas - good-and-wise-as-the statesman of to-day? IVhy did not they ad mit 'the negro to participate in the Govern ment? 'Be wished it understood - that he was not playing the orator or making a sensation speech, but merely having a plain—conversa tion withhis fellow-citizens. . • . • — Mr. S. then stated' that the Republicans courted the negro vote that they might gain control of every department of the State Go- Vernin ent; and labored at some length to show that if they succeeded they would have to give him a large share of all the offices, and next turnetthis , attention to tbe probable effect on the, common, :schools, to which he declared negro children would be admitted. He said he recalled with delight the days when he went to, a public . school, the ;delightful sports of his youth, and the time when he learned his A B C's—and—and—his A B ab's. Our fathers : had 'made . for' us a good common school system ' which. would thus be destroyed. He said that had been the result of recon struction in the Southern States by the recon struction - acts,o- • and exelalmed— " Geed Heavens above, the idea of the Congress of the - United States, the mere creature of the States, attempting to recon struct a Sovereign State. " He alluded to the possible consequences, and said .the Apostle .Paul had told the truth when he 'said " Evil communications corrupt good manners." Mr. Saulsbury declared that lie had no un kind feelings toward the negroes; almost his 'first recollection was of a negro quarter in his father's .. yard, and many were the favors lie bad received from them in his early childhood. But God had made a distinction between their race and ours. The Republican party is an 'infidel '-party.' does . not believe in the Christian religion. Norman of dense can be lieve in this doetrine of Equality; it is all the result of infidelity. Show hirna region where infidelity abounth and, he Will show them 'a • place where ;negro, suffrage and woman's rights ideas prevail." Such people don't be 7 lieve in the God,. that made them. or the Saviour who. Redeemed them. He instanced the stars and the trees, to show that there could be no Suollthing as Equality, and argued that the negro race-was indelibly .

If relief for this canoe cannot be given by the tribunal in which the proceeding is instituted, which alone can decide upon the testimony and enter judgment upon the . facts as they find them, then there is not only no remedr, for the suitor, but, what is even worse, the coureitee- b . chainedto its error, and cannot right itself even .wh n the mistake is beyond question.
