He arrived in Wilmington last week, but had hituerto negk cied to see us. Up tosome ‘ime on Saturday the Senator had maintam 4 the newly formed temperance reputation of the Wilmingion Demcecracy. At that time some- body persuaded the Senator to take omethiag. Since then the Senaior has felt that his foot was upon bis native heath. Fan, frolic, and fa- miliarity inspired his condition.

Mr. Saulsbury’s appearance in the Commersinl office was to suime degree unexpected. He came to put up the money in a little bet of $10u,000 on the election. His dress was respectable, bis boots biacked,. his hair rather awry, and’ his manner sportive in the extreme. He addressed the Cow merrcal in ® tamiliar style, alluding to it in terms not complimentary. He testified bis ion of it ever, by offering te sub- scribe, and professing bis readiness to draw a checd for $50 in payment, A considerable number of people having gathered around, the Senator invited them up to the counter to take drink, and to the scandal of all good people, called on Mr. Hersey, & principal pillar of the Good Templars, to set out the bottles. This conduct of the Senator was painful It indicated how completely the tw perance spirit of our Democratic oppo- nents bas fied. Several gentlemen, fear- ing that our visitor was troublesome, asked him to accompany them to his hotel. This, however, he persistently declined,and exprese- ed his intention to remain some time. Our young friend of sixteen years, Charley Wig- Ving Suggested adoubi ss to whether the Senator bad so much loose change in bis pockets as the bets he was offering to Make, the Senatorial wrath was greatly excited, and’ the Senatorial language was far from that high ¢ party's char- This we regret. but level of politeness which we should naturaily eqpect from the ruling classes of Dover and below.

Les give thr- cheers 1” Democratic party, right here in O'm- ercial of's.” This was too much. It was more than sportive. For Senator Saulsbury, of Georgetown. to come into the front office of the Daily Commercial, at an early hour om Monday morning, and in the presence of a 1arge and exciied crowd to swing bis hatand pro pore three cheers for the Democratic party, “right bere in C'mercial office,” 1s too much. We don’t mind a little proranity, and we cam and a great deal of vulgarity. when we con- sider that the speaker is only the representative of Delaware in the Senate of the United State but there is a point, 2s the Declaration of lude- pendence pertinently remarks, beyond which endurance cesses to be a virtue.
