The Texas Republican. [volume] (Marshall, Tex.) 1849-1869, 1857-06-06

/ On Wednesday last, Judge Evans. &C,
/ cordine to appointment. made a'peech at
the Courthouse in this place, TO very
respectable audience. lie spoke for about
an hour and half, snd was respectfully
listened to- We have no, room for an
abstract Of bis remark. A idea Of the
tenor Of the speech may be gathered from
the report Of his speech Il, Bouhsm which
will be found on our first page. HIS speech
here. however, wa. more foil and mare
elaborate than that report would Indicate
aud was somewhat at variance with It ia
some uaimporlant particulars. which may
have resulted. from difference IA the ap.
ptehension OF the author of that report
and ourself, or the change may have been
made BY the speaker himself
W. do not believe we are actustcd by
prejudice or passion. when we say tina, We
do not think we have ever listened to a
speech more fall OF demag oguIsm, or one
m every respect more vulnerable. II the
people are to be easily deceived, aud to be
led captive By the most transparent bum,
bug. then 1t vii have great weight; not
otherwise Nor do we dunk Ne do The
sulhof injustice. when We say, that 40 Tar
as carrying the people Nlth him, THIS eaptt
OF Judge Evan. seemed 10 US failure.
We venture TO say that such speeches Viii
no, win single democrat, unless lac had
previously committed himself to the ouce
invisible sam"
Judge Evans seemed to have taken his
cue from Gen. Houston. Doubtless they
agreed before leaving Washington to
unite their fortunes, San 10 TO praise
"LemGel." and !.emu ei" is to praise
"ssm" Tbs is the programme. Together
they hope 10 deceive the people into he'
lief that tho anti,Soulhern position they
have assumed, is the autbordoS doctrine
which Southern rnen ought to endorse.
lst. hue and cry IL to be raised
against "modern democracy cry iae'
hn, been raised by every renegade from pr'o-
ciple since democracy has had an existence.
/ It said 70 have been hurled at Jefferson
and at Madison. 1t was said OF Jackson.
It followed Polk ard Pierce, and It is now
raised AZ an awful bag .bear asains, the
friend. OF MIR Buchanan. " Modern Dos
mocracy'" We knew what I. meant in
the day. Of Jefferson and Jackson. but We
we're at a loss to loafn what were its oh
noxious characteristics in this day and
generation. It remained for Judge Evans
to explain them. "Motern democracy" it
seems. is the party which adopted the
Virginia auj Kentucky resolutions, that
Jefferson composed aud Madison approved
IN an elaborate report. aud which Jadge
Evans himself subscribed 10 four years
ago. It is the parts which does rot pos
f,s, TO preserve the Union by singing
peans to it, but by adherng strictly TO the
Constitution. President Pierce wa,
modern democrat" because he would not
violate his oath OF office and do what M
other President has ever done, au'hotize
and encourage dlbusterlng.
The hue aud cry is 90 be raised
" Modern Democracy " fire>ca'lns
Democrats e." the Resolutions OF 1905 and
90 Does Judge E.ynus, evan with the aid
Of Gen. Houston, expect 70 humhug the

nominated Dick Scurry for Congress We
assert It upon our own personal knowledge,
and upon unquc'tioned authority, that he

Convention. VIM. VI Taylor who pre-,
