best know him as weak sister He has great
deal OF pomposity. with but trifiing sprinkle of
brains. If blowing, and sirutting. and swelling,
can accomplish anything in this world, Gilbert IS
the man 20 do IL.
The other was Mr.. Young Of BENTON county.
As be IS probably not known to the public out
side OF his own township, il will be enough to
state that his chief recommendation, as far /
could learn. was that he had n most excellent
voice for whisky. His abilities and manners
would indicate him as a capital pedagogue for
some Of Uncle Sans niger schools, and the AID.
minsiration ought to reward him with such po-
sition at once. But 1 understand his yeoman
friends OF Benton county promised him the nom
nation for Representative, if be would ''jine'
them, and be 'jined.'
In the course o. his speech he made power
ful effort to demoish the editor OF the Sentinel.
He said ''he not considered n good enough
citizen to live in indianapolis until he had taken
the oath OF allegiance" This was the crownng
effort of hrs speech. after saying which he sub
sided amid rounds Of applause from five or six
little, sallow, dapper ngger-worshippers in front
of the stand
The above two were the only ones who had
ever been Democrats in the whole convention.
OF course COlfax was nominated, although
there was a respectable delegation bitterly Op
posed TO him. The convention however, had
all been duly stuffed and packed beforehand. so
that his enemies had no voice at all, and they
quietly concluded to smother their wrath till the
October election.
S huyler made speech II was the same old
stereotyped thing that we have heard, 10, these
many years, in which he says he has come among
US "so render an account of his stewardship IL
was, however. vamped up on this occasion with
little more of the niger than usual
be had the same old characteristic charges of
fraud and corruption against the Democratic
party, but not a SYLLABLE against the miserable
robbery of his own friends.
Schuyler is a great Abolitonist, and at the
same time a great demagogue. Party fealty is
to him more than honor, candor, decency or any
thing else. He spurns the honesty of his Adolf
ton confrere, John p. Hale, who, let il be said to
his honor, denounces the foul ,orruptions of this
Administration
Schuyler said that the browning acts of Con
gress. and the ones which he chiefly gloried in
having his name coupled with. were the emanci
patton of the slaves i'm the District of Columbia
and the confscation measure OF course, in his
estimation, anything looking to the suppression
of the rebellion and the restoration of the Union
as it was, is secondary to these gigantic Abolition
schemes.
He took occasion in the course of his speech to
make some dirty filings at Mcclellan and Halleck,
and wound up with the admonition to his hear
ers "to look well after secession sympathSers at
home, for he said they everywhere where
you would find Democrats"
Altogether the convention rather a weak
affair in point of numbers, enthusiasm and most
OF all in their efforts to seduce Democrats into
their ranks, it was a great failure. SchuyIer's
star is on the wane he is fast losing his hold up
on the honest, conservative masses of his own
party. Every day they are turning away in dis
gust from his abolition trucking and opposition
to the Constitution as it is and the Union as it
was, and declaring for Democratic principles.
The Hon David Turpie, of White county will
probably be the nominee of the Democracy; if so
SCHUYLER will have hard race.
Tell my whilom friend, Hon. NJ NJ. Ray, of
Shelby, that am busily engaged just now circu-
ating his great speech in the Senate in the win
ter of 1861, and that hope he will feel himself
under all proper obligations.
