The Ignorant and Benighted p"
At the recent meeting of the Union
| League in tbs city, Mr. Wayne McVeagh
made an appeal to his "no-party" friends,
IN the course Of which he thus compli-
mented the rural districts:
" Our enemies are active in the country They
shrink from the capitals of intelligence nm kworth
They harrangR among the IGNORANT AND
BEAlG HIED With a shrowdness that belits their
cause Let thn the large cities do their duty,
anI we Will overcome whatever advantages our
enemies may thus gain"
1t is obvious that the worthy chair
mans professional ayocations nave not
been without their value to him. Accus-
TONED to address the Chester county far
mers, when in the jury-DoX, as gentlemen
! OF intelligence and honesty, and so on,
nothing could be more natural to him
shan 10 hint TO the Leacuers that this
was "a capital Of intelligence and worth. 4"
80 FAR we quite agree with him, although
JEFFERSON described large cities as "sores
upon the body polite - but we have yet
TO learn That Democratic speakers have
found any ignorant and benighted," in
the country or elsewhere, to harrangue.-
l. is true that "shoddy" contracts have
not abounded in the rural districts, and
the profits which were made by furnishing
horses TO the Govern ment were fobbed by
General Cameron and his friend, 90 thos
the farmers have not as much "inlclli-
gence" upon certain delicate subjects "a
Is possessed by The patriots Of the League,
and, consequently, they are no. worth"
so much bat they have done their whole
duty by the Un on, and now intend 10
do as much for the Constitution. If the
League iS able to overcome the advanta-
ges winch we will thus gain, it will only
be by the force of arguments which can
not be used outside OF the "Capitals"-
Were il not for the seventeen thousand
votes which are here cast under direct
Compulsiun, anl the other thousands,
'Chicf arc not cast. it would be found that
Philadelphia would be quite as backward
in doing its duty" as other localities will
be and if our friends will only exercise
The proper vigilance, we appreherd that
Philadelphia will heartily disappoiut the
" shoddy aristocrats" who thus despise
and slanGer the noble yeomanry OF our
good old State. Tile Agc.

All. but, Jim Lane, did you ever
mourn for the widow Of him whom
you shot at the well, or the children
whom you rendered fatherIess by a
deliberate act which you intended
should inure to your benefit by roun-
ding off your possessions? How can
you parade expressions Of sympathy
and sorrow for the widows and the
orphans OF Lawrence, when you must
always have a case before you in
which you were the instrument in
dcpriying a wife Of her husband and
children Of their father? What have
you done for them, Mr. Lane, to quiet
your conscience, and to justify you in
recommending the wholesale destruc-
ton OF property in Missouri, and in
killing men, women, and children, in
discriminatory, without limitation,
and for no CRIME which attaches to
them st Louis Republican.
Pg Slavery is about as much the
cause Of this war as is the money in
the travellers pocket the cause of the
highway robbery The robbcr wants
the travellers money, and the foolish
traveller wants il for his own use, and
at once yOu see the "irrepressible con-
hict' between the two
The Judge who would decide, upon
the case being brought before him,
that the travelor was not to blame,
but that it was the money that was
unfortunately in the pocket Of the
traveller, aud, therefore in order TO
prevent any more robbories, he would
seize the money, would be a proper
associate for some Of the modern
Judges whose specs have calculated
the writ OF habeas corpus lately.-Ca-
rio Democrat.
PRopER QUEsTIoN.-The question
has been asked, why is 1t considered
impoite for gentlemen 10 60 in the
presence Of ladies IN their shirt
sleeves, while 1t is considered in every
way correct for the ladies themselves
to appear before gentlemen without
any sleeves.
