An Outspoken Democrat.


Sat, Clark, one of the Senators from
Dodge county, made speech in the SEN
ate a few days ago, in which be defined his
political position as follows: HE was bold
in declaring that he was pro-slavery man
positively and unequivocally. He was a
friend to the Union, and would consent to
any proposition that might be made that
would preserve it. He did not deny but
if the South had been given all she asked,
she would have remained in the Union,
and he would have granted everything
He would never go for the emancipation of
single slave, and he thought any man
who went South with a view to making
emancipation his object, should he used to
stop bullet, and that he would never be
allowed to return to this country"
Senator Clark is exactly our kind of
man. We do not mean that we endorse
his views, by any means, but we admire
his frankness and pluck. He is not only
ga Northern man with Southern princi-
ples'' but has the independence to &C.
knowledge it.

No president since Washington's time
has been placed under circumstances where
1t became necessary for him to assume i'm
mediate command of the army and navy
of the United States, until the present
time. Abraham Lincoln has seen fit to
take such command, and has summoned
to his aid Edwin NJ. Stanton. When Lin
eoln was inaugurated the popular voice of
the people was +" Oh for an Andrew Jack
son " HE would show the rebels no
quarter, and would restore the land to
peace. True, Gen. jackson vas a great
and good man, but why did he not crush
the rebellion in 1888? He stopped the
traitors of South Carolina from committing
overt acts of treason, bu. did not kill the
root of the rebel tree He compromised
then with the very Satan who now besets
the rebellion He had it in his power to
sffeetually crush the thing in its infancy.

pie in 1860 cried 'Oh for salvation frsm

elected Abraham Lincoln. He has issued
