THE LAST FICTION OF JOHN P. KEN
NEDY

The Wig members Of the Senate and House
of Representatives, Of the 9th Congress of the
United States, held meeting in the city of
Washington, on the llth Of September, 1871,
and decided that it was "expedient to publish
an address to the people, containing a succinct
exposition Of the prominent proceedings of the
extra session, of the measures they had adopt
ed, and those on which they had failed, and the
causes of such faure.n Mr. Kennedy one of
the Committee, appointed to prepare the adj
dress, reported it, and it was unanimously
adopted In il he says, "that the Wing repre-
sentatves in both Houses of Congress have
thought it their duty, before separating, to ad-
dress their constituents" &c. Mr. Kennedy Of
Baltimore, the reputed and apparent author Of
the address, is, as some of our readers may know,
the author of several works of fiction He has
not belied his powers of invention by the add
dress of The Wing members of both houses of
Congress. The Wing members of Congress F!
How many names appear appended TO the ad-
dress in one form or another-after the infor-
nation from Mr. Kennedy that it received the
sanction of the Wing members of Congress
Would any one suppose that they had dwin-
died To- the pitifu number of twelve? Twelve
men presume 10 call themselves the Wing

The good people of these United States the bone and

to decency these unprincipled iasfers, these
sins of character, these political demagogues, that
they have overshot the mark that they have puposely

cause that man would not permit himself to be made

INDIANA-Gov. BIGGER,s MESSAGE.

INDIANA--GOV BIGGER'S MESSAGE.
The Message is chiefly confined TO an exhibit
Of Internal Improvements, and the condition Of
the Bank OF the State, the rest principally to the
causes that have led to the present embarrass-
ment Of its finances.
The public works, canals, raih Dads, &C., com
pleted and in progress, are presented to view
with the expense already incurred, and the est-
mated cost Of completion.
The amount Of the Public Debt, consisting Of
various items. is stated at Sl5,0SS, l46. The
means and pro pect Of payment are considered;
but do not appear very tlatterng, without a
change Of times.
Much Of the public debt appears 10 have been
incurred on account of the State Bank. But
the Bank cannot be pressed Prepayment without
pressing her creditors; its resumption of specie
payments therefore is rather distant in prospect.
The State; at the same time, is owing the
Bank SOIL ,46l, for means" loaned in 1899,
upon which, says the Governor, ''not even the
interest has been paid, and to this moment is
restricting the power Of loaning to the citizens"
Pressure seems to come on all sides, and in F..
debtedness unfortunately operates against both
debtors and creditors.
The means Of the Bank are stated to be Sc,
6lS2l0; and its liabilities, for circulation, indi-
vdua deposits, and other liabilities, Except for
stock and profr $3,4s7, 1873; the balance Of the
account is stock and individual profits
The Governor gives some hard hits 10 some
body, characteristic Of the times, Speaking Of
the suspended debt, he says, Every fair and
impartial man must receive the impre ssion that
of pre-. concerted imposition and fraud" But
we must dismiss the subject for the present, for
want of space as well as time.

members of Congress Twelve persons concoct
and sign an address, and have the mpudence to
declare that il contains the sentiments Of the
Wing memb rs Of Congress. Twelve men de-
clare that they comprehend the impersonation OF
the Wing representatives. There was one man,
we have understood, who during the extra ses-
sion mounted the dictatoral chair, and directed
by his individual will the movements of the au-
donations, who voted in conformity with his inn
pera mandates, and degrad, d the dignity of the
representatives of free people into sycophance
TO one mans behests but we could not have an
ticipaled the bodness which has multiplied, by
open declaration, twelve men into the Wing
representation in Congress. Twelve men
would not be sufficient number TO constitute
the first elements of jury, allowing for legal
challenges and yet twelve men assume, without
any delegated authority, to speak the sentiments
of the Wing members of Congress Twelve
men presume to issue a Manifesto, declaring
what are Wing doctrines, and what are not.
Twelve men issue a decree, discriminating W no
are TO be denominated Wings, and who are I'M
ted them into the supreme council2 Do these
gentlemen contemplate the establishment of a
secret concave to govern the country? If they
do, they ought to know that the people will not
submit to the tyranny either Of DICTATOR or Of a
council oftwelveor ten.
But these twelve gentlemen, il may be said,
speak not for themselves only they are but the
organs Of the Wing members of Congress, who
unanimously vot d in favor of the publication
of the address. We ask, were all the Wing
members of Congress present at the meeting
which unanimously approved the address I
We ask, was there majority of those mem
bers, who claimed the title of Wings, present
al that meeting We ask, did majoritA Of
those present approve that address vs. il
unanimously adopted? We ask, and we wish
ii plain, distinct ineligible answer 10 our que
res. How many more than the sgners of the
address, president, secretaries and members o.
the committee claimed the title Of being the
I Wing members of Congress-the representa-
tives Of the Wing party Does the address;
speak the sentiments of the Wing party A
ciHplu answer " tHtsc questions VIII lildHlics
to the people whether Messrs. Mangum, Berr
en-, Kennedy & Co, are authorized to speak il
the name Of the. Wing Representatives Of the
people, or whether they are the mouth-pcces o
a secret caucus under the rule of self-arrogateC
dictation2 If the twelve are not authorized b,
full and ample majority Of the Wing member:
Of Congress TO publish the mantesto-to con
denim not only the opinions and conduct Of tn,
President but to arraign his motives-we are
[ justiiabe in naming the address one of Mr.
Kennedy's fctions. The whole Of il is a fiction
worse than any Of his novels, because tits pub
lished with the intent to deceive We have MOI
done with this subject

subject Congress will then indeed be occupying
most unenviable and unhappy position !
Is il the part Of patrotism-is il the office OF
duty, then, TO pause at this suspicious hour--to
observe whether this or that man be advanced 2
Is not the allegiance of Congress due Ia the coul-
try, to serve and tomake IL, by benefcent course
OF action, happy and prosperous? Look well,
Representatives of the people, to these conside-
rations; pause and reflect soberly, as patriots,
upon them, and always recollect that your con-
stituenls will hold you to a strict accountability
for the manner in which you discharge your du-
ties
Do you wish TO rush into the extreme policy
oil establishing corporate institution, with the
style and powers of Bank of the United States?
If you do not, then let us urge you TO settle this
question.
Do you wish to re-estabish the cumbrous ma
chinery of the repudaed Sub Treasury? If
you do not, then unite as men alive to your dig
nifty, and to the honor, safety, and happiness of
the people, and settle The question.
Are temperate and firm counses preferable to
action upon ultra views and visionary and dis
tructive principles Then iehy not settle the
question?
Is IT indeed of SO much consequence that one
man rather than another should be elected TO the
Chief Magistracy, where all the. sons of Re-
public, are, or should be, patriots, and where
MANY are equally qualified to assume the du-
ties responsibilities of anY office in the world
that for mere personal considerations Of alnbi-
clon, men are TO be made the idols of worship,
and the country have no interests TO win YOU'RE
spect and homage? If this be not so, then
unite, as american legislators, and settle this
re.red question, and pour balm upon the wounds
OF the country, apd let them heal.
If moderate counses do not now prevail, ultra
ism must finally succeed, if anything be accom-
pllshed Ultraism begets the madness of party
Tor one extreme invariably produce or begets
another. Then comes the tumult and the shoe
then the whip and the scourge then follows
the dagger and the sword; and finally destruc-
ton and death stalk abroad, prosrating and,de-
vouring the honor, the prosperity, and the peace
OF our common country
