HOr. ]. A. McCIcrnand's Speech.


We conclude the publication of the
speech of the Hon. J. A. McClernand, in
Tto.days paper. 1t is an able speech, and
vindicates the policy of the Administration
With force and clearness. From what we
have been able to learn it fairly repre-.
sents the feelings and sentiments of a
large majority ofthe democracy ofIltinois.
This speech shows that the almost unpre.
cedented prosperity of our country at pres,
ent, is attributable to the results Of the
workings of the great democratic meas
ures which have been adopted during the
present Administration; and triumphantly
establishes the wisdom, correctness and
expectancy ofthose popular measures.
The President since his elevation TO
the highest office in tho gift of free peo-
pie, has stood upon the same ground &C.
cuPied by the republican fathers of our
constitution. Notwithstanding the at
tempts ofthe wings to convince the Amer
lean people Of the unpopularity Of his
administration, we are confident that his
measures will be sustained by tie calm
Judgment OF the Nation. The array of
facts and arguments advanced by Col.
McClernand in support Of the Admins.
tration show that he is worthy of his ex-
allied station. We trust that this speech
will be read with attention by every one
who desires information upon the impor.
tant questions Of national policy which
should be observed by every republican.
