JUDGE THAYER AND HIS SPEECH
-, We, with others, went to the cour,
heuse on Saturday last to listen to q
"speech by Judge Thaycr.' 1t is known
that the Judge is very anxious to 90 to
Congress. Ia fact he has got nomiua
ton for that office at the hands Of the
Dahomians We had never seeu .the
Judge" Che va once County judge TO
know him, bu. when we did see him.
We concluded that if we were called upon
to select from crowd in which he was,
the man whose countcnancc showed that
he was an honest, upri cht man, it would
be very hard crowd indeed if our choice
fell upon him. On hearing his speech
we could but think that he had made up
his mind that he could not be elected If
he pursued strai sht forward. truthful
course, and that the more m;sstatements
be made the better it would be for him
We may not allude to all "the points"
he made, as friend has aided us in that
Respect.
lie started out with the statement
"that all the evils under which we are
at present suffering result from the non.
observance of the fugitive slaye law. -
10 controvert aud show the fals;tv q,
thiS statement we quote from speeches
made by members Of the convention that
voted South Carolina "out of the Uoio, ,
just after having completed their trea-
sopabie work. Mr.. Parker said
" 1t is no spasm1dic effort that has
come suddenly upon US, bu, it has b en-
gradually eliminating for long series Of
years, until, at last, it has come to TINT
point when we may say the matter is en-.
tircly right"
Mr.. 1ngiis was equally explicit:
" As my friend (Mr. Parker h said
most of Us have had this matter uDdrr
consideration for the last twenty wears "
Mr. kci't exclaimed:
Il have been engaged in this move.
ment ever since entered political life"
Mr.. Rhet. declared that:
"The secession c: South Carolina i,
not an event Of a day. Il is not any.
thing produced by Mr. Li"coIu's cleo.
ton, Or BY non execution Of the ruri,iy,
slave law. 1t has been a matter which
has been getting head for thirty years. y
We might multiply authorities but W,
think the above are sutlici to show
that the statement Of the Judge was no
correct.
Another mis- tatcment was. that "ey
element ensucd upon the passage Of tn
fugitive slave law in 1850, and continu-
cd TO increase till 1888" Now tn,
Judge certainly must rccollcct, for eve
rybody else does, and lie surely is no
more forsotful than all the rest Of man
kind, thai iVr tive or three years prior t,

these compromises as a Tao!tt1. Wien.
