what you viii about Il. al men feel Il
and know ~.
Mr.. President. do sot know that
exactly concur with kim Who said some
years ago. IN commenting spsn this
matter, that we never wosld have a
first-rate man again as President /; for,
he said. that uBderstrappers and an.
derstrikers would never Gee a man Of
prominentabiliiv attain TO The position;
that no such msn could ever come 20
the presidency Of the nation, because
the understrappers and seekers for of
nee would be eternaliy for catching a
man whom they could control. He
thought we never wnuid have a Presi.

demagoging; and, sir, he draws him

mother Dutchman. Laughter That
Is the beginning Of il. Then, though
he has no respect for religion, no re-
gard for things of that sort, surprising
himself in his peculiar views 60 be in
the minority. and though he may be an
inhdel. and hate all religion. the next

would fall down and worship him, when
the old scoundrel had not an inch of
terra frma IN all creation to PIT his
foot upon. Great lasghler.
Why, sir. every man understands
this measure and knows &i,at il means.
Il is the most hollow, perRdio1s, de-
ceptive, Cabling thing in the world.
IL proposes to give our public land to
these people, when II is pledged Tor the
payment Of The deb, incurred by che
Mexican war, saa belongs to the States
equally. IL does not belong to politi.
Clans; but still some OF thea propose
this largess or bride, for such il is, and
say. Some ia, all We Dutch and Irish.n
Perhaps they may expect, in return,
to hear; /" We viii make you Presi-
