Doc. 161.-Senator Bayard on secession. To the People of the State of Delaware: Fellow-citizens :--Though, like all men who have mingled actively in political contests, I have often been subjected to misrepresentations and calumnies, under no past circumstances have I ever felt it necessary to reply to merely personal attook my seat in the second passenger railway car, which, after it, had turned into Catherine street, was stopped by a police officer, and the inquiry made, Is Senator Bayard here? I answered affirmatively, and the reply was, Come here if you please, we want you. I left the car at once, and it went on, and the officer said immedi secured to every freeman under a government of laws, and a Republic must be a government of laws alone, or it will end in anarchy or despotism. I have no faith either in the government of the sword or the mob, and shall resist the establishment of either. James A. Bayard. Wilmington, May 13, 1861. --N. Y. Tribune, May 20.
