GEN. OGLE'S SPEECH.


OF all the numerous and varied speech
es of the session of Congress just closed,
no one mas produced such a sensation so
profound and universal as that of Gen.
Ogle, ofPennsylvania, part of which, we
this day lay before our readers. The
facts it discloses have astounded the whole
country. Friends and foes have sought
for it, and read it with amazement and
disgust. 1t has unfoIded the true char
acter of the white House, as now admin.
istered. While the people have been lul-
led by the simplicity and economy, and
the parasites of the President have
proclaimed that they must work harder
and live less luxuriously, and while low
prices, low wages, decreasing revenues,
and universal embarrassment have char
acterized the times, the Chief Magistrate
ofthe Union with professions of love for
the people, and frugalily and attachment %
republican habits eternally on his lips, has
drawn himself within the palace, and sur
rounded himself with all the luxury and
splendor, and magnifIcence Of oriental
dignity. There, "out Of humanity's
reach,o his heart turned away from all
symathy with the wants and interests of
the people, and grown effeminate by in
diligence, he has reposed in ease and Sc
curlty, giving heed only to such mea-
sures of Government, as, in its exclusive
care of itself, should best promote the con-
venience, and enlarge the discretion and
power of the Executive. more heart
less and reprehensible spectacle has never
before been exhibited by a Chief Mages.

would be any pride in showing to the rep

ELECTIONS.
The Louisville Journal gives returns
from forty.six counties in Kentucky,
which exhibit a majority in favor Of Letch-
or, the Wing candidate for Governor, Of
l4,454 over French, locofoco; and il
is thought viii be considerably increased
when the full returns are received. Sem
ators elected, w. 8, v. B. Representa-.
tives elected, W. Sc, v. B. 8. Thus has
locofocoism been annihilated in this noble
State.
In Indiana, the majority in favor of Big
ger, the Wing candidate for Governor,
is proportionably overwhelming scarcely
a grease spot will be left Of his opponent.
Biggers' majority in the counties heard
from, was s,96s. Senators elected, w.
IA, V. B. 1. Representatives elected,
w. 80. v. B. Is.
In Illinois, as far as heard from the &C.
counts are highly flattering, and not a
doubt remains that she has acted as nobly
as Kentucky and Indiana. Missouri too
is not far behind: Van Buren, got thai
state in 1896, by majority of something
less than 3,70O;as far as heard from, Har
rison, has received 300 oft back, which
augurs exceedingly well.
