DEMAGOGISM.

A man that works on feeling and prejudice,
without reason, for political ends, is dema-
gogue. A press that prompts and nourishes
such moral trash is of the same character. The
symptoms of demagogism, in the political noun
tebank, are certain cant words and phrases,
which rouse the feelings, but lead to no refec-
ton. In the press it is manifested in the same
way, with this addition, that, instead of empha-
sis Of voice and manner, which characterize the
mountebank in the utterance of his key note
words and phrases, it employs large staring capt.
tails and italcised words. For example, look
into the Globe and Expositor. These articles
ae intended to strike the senses, not the mind.
The people Of this country had long been i'm
posed upon in this way. But the year 1910
was an epoch in our history, which brought the
people back TO reflection and common sense
The Globe, Kendalls Exposition, and other
Loco-foco prints are still at their old tricks
Look on their sheets, and behold the CAPT
TAILS, the italicised sentences, ordinations,
cant words, cant phrases, and other demagogi-
cal articles Of the kind. But it is too late
The American people think now.
There was for example, the old song Of foreign
influence and British gold-all used up the mo-
ment it was proved to have bought up an army
Of Loco-focos, inasmuch as it was no great COM
pliment to the party. Itproved too much to be
palatable. That cry, kept up by demagosues
and demagogical press, once had great lniu-
ence. Now il has none, as the people are averse
to libel passed on themselves. Neither Ben
toms denunciations, nor the Globes screaches'
| nor Kendalls staring capitals, nor ever so many

AMOS KENDALL ALIVE.

We had almost forgotten that this Ex-Post-
master General was still in the field, but four
columns of extracts from "Kendalrs Expositor''
in the Globe of the goth ult. remind us both of
the worthy and of his :love Of the excitement OF
compostion.' He has retired to his den, but
has not forgotten either how to growl or to
bark ............. .,..
To reply to such an immense heap of VERDI
age would be a discouraging task; we propose
only few remarks. .H..
Amos is evidently excited and gives sufficient
proof of Glowing the excitement of composition"
He appears to be making some high-strung APP
peals In the first place, he don't like the special
session of Congress, being afraid Of what they
will do. He says they are going "to abolish the
Treasury"
He speaks Of "the tremendous effort to run,
dopn the late Administration" That it seemed
to Amos and some others " tremendous" we
think may be true. General jackson, however,
prophesied, when he got the first two numbers
of the Madisonian, that the Administration
would be "bloaon up." Running down" and
GLOWING up" are pretty much the same, and we
agree with Amos, that it was rather "tremen-
dous." At least, we don't wonder he thought so.
He says the objects were ''o6fce-seekimg and
money making" Very well, this may not only
be innocent, but quite patriotic and useful. 1t
was certain the offices could not be in worse
hands, and change of Government implied a
change Of officers. The charge of Amos, in the
first Of these counts, Is, that the Republicans
sought aOhGt they sought, to wit, change.
They got it, too, that's better. Certainly Amos
would not say that this great army of Republi-
cans all expected office for themselves. So.
But there is the sin of ''money making" II
is quite certain few people have had much chance
of making money for few years past, and it il
equally true, that this was the great fault. The
people found that they could not make money a.
things were going on, but that all were growing
poor They, therefore, wished for a change
that they might make money. But with Amos
this was their crime. They sought change o
rulers, and chance to. make money The,
will doubtless plead guilty to the charge which
Amos has brought against them.
Next, Amos is greatly concerned, that tn
credit of the debtor States will be resuscitate,
under the new Administration. He is alarmed
at the prospects starts back from it with affecte'
horror. Once down, he wants to keep then
down. He says, in case Of the revival of thei
credit the bonds they have given for 100000,
OoOwiIl be north $500, 100000! This, he thinks
will be sad event . . ..... s,.
Amos makes his dolorous appeal to farmers
planters, mechanics, and other aporkingme

distressed and assailed, even while stretched
upon his dying bed, by the wives of those who
conscious OF having abused their Offices, ant
showing that no manly argument could prevail
with just man, to retain them in office. resort
| ca 70 such means as these to save themselves
from the consequences of their own misconduct
we 90 not mean in this, any alusion to any
particular individuals named by the Globe
lar from il, We honor the motipes, and sympa-
thize with the feelings of those ladies' who wish
ed to save their husbands or brothers from the
just consequences of their violations of duty
ndpropriety. But we have said enough on this
subject.
We will only add, that, after full inquiry
into all the circumstances of the case, we have
no idea that Gen. Harrison's lamented death
was caused, or much accelerated, either by the
ordinary or unusual circumstances arising out OF
his official position. We saw and conversed
with him alone, day or two before his illness,
and we remember well saying, Immediately af-
serwards- that we had never before seen him in
SO apparently fine health and spirits as on ina,
occasion. His manner was calm and quiet, and
not that of man suffering from annoyance and
nervous excitement. We were present at his
death, and never have we seen death-bed more
peaceful or free from pain. 1t is true, that for a
few moments Immediately preceding his death,
ard after the good man had become unconscious,
the afectionate ladies of his family, his relatives,
had been obliged to retire, overcome with watch
ing and grief; but through his whole sickness,
tile tender care Of daughters affection soothed
hh pillow, and anticipated every want.
The most assiduous and skilful medical aid
was always at hand, and his last breath was
watched with fearful eyes by the brave com
panions of his youth-by his distinguished Ca
binet Counsellors, his warm personal friends,
and by a few Of those who had known him long
and WELL The venerable man of God was also
there to administer comfort in his dying mo-
rlents sa Ba 3, IS sl.sE,s.. ss
He died as one could wish himself or his
dearest friend to die--in peace, and apparently
without pain, surrounded by his relations and
fiends
We have been compelled, by the indecent
course Of the paper alluded to, to utter these
sentiments, painful as has been the task, and we
now ask all men, of all parties, who possess
the common feelings Of humanity, if we are not
night in condemning that journal, as devoid of
even the decency of the brutes of the field
The only animal of all the brute creation,
ever known to disturb the sacred repose Of the
buried dead, is the Hyena, and the story that
this hateful beast is guilty Of the act, is yet con-
sidered fabulous. We say farther, that if the
death of Gen. Harrison was induced, either by
his efforts in selfdefence, during the late politi
cal campaign, or by the opportunities Of those
who sought Office, or to be retained in or restor
ed 70 Office, the late and present friends Of these
papers making the charge, alone are answerable

ILLINors-We believe special election for men,
bers Of Congress has been ordered in this STATE so
that it will very likely be unrepresen'ed at the Extra
Session.
PREPARATIONS for the regular contest on the first
Monday in August continue. In the First District,
Hon. John Reynolds, V. B. is candidate, with two
or three others of like faith.
In the Second, Hon. s. III. Anderson, v. B. Lieut..
Governor is regularly nominated BY his party. Hon.
Zadok Casey, is also a candidate. He is inAexiby
hostile the Subtreasury, is not to Nation
al Bank, and avows his readiness to give liberal and
independent support to the new Administration. ..
In the Third District Hon. John T. Stuart, present
Republican member, is candidate, and can hardly be
beaten Murray Mcconnell, of Morgan Co, is pro-
posed as the Opposition candidate.

italics produce biz of effect, as thew intend
but the CONTRARY. The people see and under
stand.
NATIONAL BANK is now held up in CAPT.
tails as horrifc sign, just at time when il
seems TO operate rather as lure than a terror
The people are beginning to think Well,
after all, we did well with a national bank, and
have done very badly since we had none. If
the Government can give US good and safe
one, constitutional, and send TO fhe penitentiary
or hang the first and every officer that is ac-
commodated out of the bank with which he is
connected, well try il again. Huzza for Ma
tlonal Bank on such TERMS" If we do not mis-
take, there is strong current of popular feeling
setting that way just now, as the only remedy
Tor our commercial, monetary, financial, and
fiscal disasters No use, Amos, Blair, Rives
&Co., In parading capitals. and setting up
italics against the current. The tune of Dema-
gogues pals onthe public ear. The people want
reason, common sense, not big words, high
sounding phrases, and appeals to feeling. Old
prejudices are assuming new shapes Better
handle them cautiously.
It's remaIkdDie, tnat all the demagoglcal cant
that has been Of SO much avail in the politics of
this country, is loosing its influence. They who
trade in that species of capital, il not content to
go into an honest business, must make a new
shift, and get up something new. When they
have got far as to be forced to exclaim in des-
pair, like Amos, in his Expositor, "merciful
God p Eve beg pardon for such profanity, but it
seems necessary to show what trouble they are
in) il may be well for them, and time for them,
AithAr IN rnna'Is .>-ff -..----~.L.- ...l.v
We congratulate the people of this country
for these symptoms, that demagogism is getting
to be appreciated. The people wont hear it;
they are disguised with it; they are nauseated to
the very bottom of their stomachs. They want
good, sound, common sense-practcal measures
--redeeming, restoring measures-something
that will bring back prosperity. They have
lost nearly all, got down to the bottom Of the
hill, and know well where to lay the fault. Now,
they want chance to get up again.
II wont do, Amos-it wont do, Messieurs
Blair & Rives, to try to deceive the people any
longer. No more cant, no more demagogism,
no more appeals to old worn out prejudices 1t
is as bad stock as the United States Bank Both
require equally to have their charters renew
ed, to cut down their capitals and to recon-
mence business in an honest way.
