Rev. Henry Clay Dean.

This individual, sent out by the State
Democratic Central Committee, visited
this city on Saturday last, and made a
speech at the Court House. In personal
appearance, he is curiosity. He is
about five feet and a-half high, very fat
and very slovenly, wears his hat tipped
over on one side, and when he walks
rolls and swaggers along like an over fed
butcher. His profession is that of a
Methodist Minister, but he looks and
acts about as much like preacher as a
porcupine does like an antelope, or a hog
like a canary bird. When he commences
speech, he thrusts both hands into his
breeches pockets, draws his head down
between his shoulders, doubles himself
into heap like another Quilp. speaks in
a low, whining, canliEg tone PAGES the
platform backward and forward, walks
down into the aislcs among the audience J;
gradually raises his voice, lifts up his
head, brandishes his fists, and makes a
grand climax by rending the air and
paving the ground like bull.
The Rev Henry Clay Dean opened his
speech in this city by drawing glorious
picture OF the Stale rs il was i've years
a9o-hoods of emigrants flowing into ii.
every department of industry, agrieultu-
raj, mechanical, CONNER cial. and profes-
sional. actively employed, labor in de.
mand, money abundant and then he
drew another picture OF the condition of
the State now--lhe value of land depres-
sed, money scarce, laborers idle, bust
ness of all kinds everywhere stagnan..
and more settlers moving out than COM
ing into its boundaries. And 10 what
influence did he attribute all this change

Can anybody guess ? Why solely and

This is fair sample of the truthfulness
of his speech, lasting two full hours.
Such sophistry, such vulgarity, such
blasphemy, such shameless prostitution
of the talents of public speaker. we
never before witnessed in all our political
experience. Such an ecclesiastical mon
strosity did he prove himself to be, that
when he yesterday attended a church of
the denomination to which he processes
to belong. the usual eourtesies of the
profession were withheld from him. and
the officiating minister in the course of
his sermon said that any clergyman who
would prostitute his profession and his
abilities in cause such as that which
Dean serves, would deserve to go to the
lowest hell that any hypocritc would ever
find
So much for the Democratic speech of
the Rev. Henry Clay Dean in the city of
Dubuque. The Herald says it made
hundred conversions from the Republi-
can to the Democratic faith. If he will
repeat it from now till the election, it will
add thousand votes to the Republican
majority.-Times.

THE WANDERERS RETURN.

The Juke was Moses the Sassy He
had been in France about sixteen years,
and now he was home agin in Bosting
He had sum trouble in gettin hisself ac-
knowledged as Duke in France, as the
Orleans Dienasty and Borebones were
fernist him, but he finally conkered, and
now ne had crossed the deep blue C to
git his own Elizy. She knew him at
onct, as one of his ears and part of
his nose had bin chawed off in his fights
with opposition fremen durin boyhood.
They was marrid and went to France to
reside in their ducal pallis which was got
up regardlis Of expense. They had sew
eral children and lived to green old
age beluved g by all both great and
small" as the poick says.
The Pirut capting was captured, tride,
convicted and sentenced to read all the
letters that Messrs Giddings and Wise
shall write for the ensoon years. His
friends are endeverin to get his sentence
commuted to Imprisonment for life,
hour in each day to be devoted to read
in the Canada papers. He says this SEN

he don't care much as long as he gets

er large part is nearly completed, and. the
whole can be speedily finished at COM
paratively small expense. 1t was thought
that the appropriation last made would
be sufficient, but il fell short. The form
er Commissioners assumed some respon-
sibility, personal and official, in the hope
THAT the building would be prepared for
the reception Of patients before this time.
Their successors would have done the
same but for this foolish attempt to min
gle politics with the Asylum and its man
agement. Although have had no Off
cial connection with it for nearly two
years, yet, when saw the attempt made
last year TO make the Asylum an element
in the political canvass, | advised the
Commissioners to assume no responsible
ty in connection with it, and let the blame
for its non-completion fall where it be-
longs.
l think / have shown that the Asylum
was established, the Commissioners ap-
pointed, and the plans for the building
by Legislature of which one
branch was democratic and the other
anti-democratic, and that all appropria-
tons for the work done upon it were vo-
ted for by members of all parties without
the slightest regard to their political pre-
dilections. And thus falls to the ground
the charge that any political party is res
ponsible, as a party, for anything that
has been done in that connection with
the Insane Asylum. If the Commission
ers have been guilty of any malfeasance
or misfeasance. if they have perpetrated
a fraud upon the State or upon individu-
ais, let them be made to respond for it
before the proper tribunals.
/ have heard no charge of this kind
If they have managed imprudently, un-
wisely, that will be proper subject of
comment when they become candidates
before the people. But l do, as citizen,
protest against the precedent now sought
to be established of making the humane
of the State shuttlecocks to
be knocked back and forth between the
two political parties.
l have made this statement that the
people may know the exact facts with re-
gard to the Asylum, ard not by way of
an apology. | am proud of my connec
ton with that institution, and the time
is not remote when the democratic party
will be proud that their representatives
stand SO unanimously recorded in its
favor.
One word more. read last year, in
the speech of candidate for State Of
fee, statement that the Asylum was
by the Commissioners at Mt.
Pleasant specially for my benefit as a
large owner of real estate in that city and
vicinity. The Law of this State already
cited, shows that the location was made
BY the General Assembly, and the rec-
'rds of Henry county will show to who
ever examines them, that | never owned
but one lot in Mt. Pleasant, which l sold
ong before the Insane Asylum was es-
ablished there, and that l do not, and
lever did, own any property in the
'icinity of that place. 1t must have re-
luired very fertile Imagination to con-
'eiye the idea that the proximity of
4unatic Asylum would enhance the value
# real estate.
