MIR. OGLE'S SPEECH.

I'm the hands of the corrupt men who now fattei
ON the public crib. That intelligent and patriotic
men should be disguised, and devote themselves
10 a reform, is as natural as that the sparks
should fly upwards. 1t SO happened that MIR.
,9lele was on the Committee ON the Expenditures
,,f the Public Buildings, and there saw how the
v,ubl;c monies had been wasted. The vouchers
which came into his hands were such to asto
nish him; and the country is deeply indebted to
him for the developments he has made 1t is in
vain that Mr.. Van Buren's organ would throw
the responsibility on the Commissioner 1t is in
vain that the Globe would say that the Presi-
dent did ask for the appropriations 1t is in
vain that the Globe refers to Mr.. Lincoln to
orsve that the estimates were made by the Com
missioner. Who does not know that the Com
missioner is but the agent of the President, and
ayho can suppose that he would ask for what the
President did not WANT But the purchases
were made by the Presidents order. This is
clearly proved by the Globes admissions.
But that is not all. Mr. Ogle did not stop at
these abuses He carried the war into Africa in
another quarter He has repealed the attacks
made ON General Harrison, and defended him
with great force and ability, and we refer to ex-
tracts from his speech in this days paper.
We would ask the candid and thinking PEG
nile of the United States to ponder these facts.
What will be the condition of the country if Mr..
Van Buren, is reelected Is there a single man
in the United States so infatuated as to believe
that he would get single vote if he were dis
robed of his official influence? If, them the pat
Homage of the Government can elect man who,
without it, could not get single vote, what
will not other Presidents, to come after Mr. Van
Buren,, do? VIII they stop to ask what the people
want? Will not the will of the President be-
come the law of the land? Ought not now
todo all that we can to defeat MIR. Van Burer
for this cause, if there were other cause t.
oppose him
EXTRACT FROM THE REMARKS OF
MR.. OGLE, OF PENNSYLVANIA, ON
THE CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC AP-
PREPARATION BILL.
House OF REPRESENTATIVES,, APRIL is, 1910.
But the Hero of North Bend is not less distin-
,suishcd for benevolenee, and all the milder viz
rues of the heart, than for his eminent military
and civil services. In him you behold the sfiiend
Of the poor man" and the fast friend of those
who were his brethren in arms. In evidence of
this aInable tralt of character, might refer this
committee to who now enjoys the honor of
seat on this floor, (Judge CHNN, of Louisian3.)
He, when a boy, was in Gen. Harrison's army,
hut being young and unused to the hardshps of
2 soldiers life, he was unable, without the ut
most difficulty to keep up with the march Of the
troops; he had fallen into the rear, and was in
danger Of being left by the way, and falling into
the hands of a remorseless and savage foe; Gen.
Harrison passed HIM, on horseback, and perceiv-
ing and plying his jaded condition, he imme-
sliately dismounted, lifted the boy into the saddle,
and walked himself on foot, and thus rescued him
from the savage sea ping knife
at another time, the Rev. Mr.. Poe, metho-
dist circuit rider. came to the door OF Gen. Har-
rison's abode, late in the evening, upon feeble
and faded horse, which he had ridden for hun
dreds of miles, in his Masters service, and
sought nights lodging. He was welcomed
with open-hsarted hospitality, and when he was
about to depart in the morning, having pro-
nounced his bencdictioD the household, he
turned to remount his horse, but found, to his
great surprise, his own saddle and saddle-bag IS,
on the back, not of his former horse-for that
over-rden animal had died in the stable-but on
the back of fresh and far better steed, provided
by Gen. Harrison
4 turn to gentlemen of the Administration, and
ask them to tell me the time when Martin Van
Buren, ever did an act like this. And appeal
to the clerical brethren Of that grateful preacher
and ask them whether, at the coming election
of the good Samaritan towards their brother in
the Christian ministry. The priest and the Lee
wife passed by the unfortunate man, who lay
wounded by the wayside, but the good Samaritan
poured oil and wine into his wounds, and sat him
on his own beast What act could he more
strictly in the spirit of the Christian religion2
Nor will the freshmen soon forget him. A
poor but worthy son of the Emerald Isle, who
lost a fortune which he expected to inherit was
represented to Gen. Harrison desiring a GER
faia clerl1ship within his gifts; the same appoint
snent.sv also desired by several of the sons of
his rich neighbors, but, having inquired into the
case, he passed them all by and gave the clerk
ship to the unfortunate stranger. Will the Irish
array themselves against the man who, in this
very Hail. made eloquent and feeling speech
ia favor of granting tract Of land in Illinois to
g Irisls en,igrantsi" This memorable effort of
Gen. Harrison, OH behalf OF the poor, Cypress
ed, and down-trodden children of ireland, was
called forth by a resolution introduced by Mr.
CIagett, of New Hampshire, in the fol owing
words:
ttResoiced. That it IS expedient to authorize
the Secretary of the Treasury to designate and
set apart - townships, each of six miles square,
I'm the State sef Illinois TO EE SCI
TILED BY EMIfsRANTS FROM IRELAND
at two dollars per acre, to be paid in three in
staimenfs, as fellows: one-third part at the end
of four years; one-third part at the end of eight
years, and one-third- part at the end OF twelve
years, with interest ON the several sums"
