5. DEMOCRATIC" SPEECHES

We went to the Court House on Sat
urday nightlas to hear SAMPLE CLARK,
the champion orator Of the o-called
Democratic party, discuss the ques-
tions at issue in the spending campaign,
in order that we might know exactly
what course they were pursuing, and
be the better prepared to meet their
arguments.
We had thought, from what we had
heard the friends of Mr.. CLARK say of
him, that he would at least state fairly
and candidly questions of fact involved
in his discussion; but we regret to say
that in this we were disappointed, and
that we have never listened to a public
speaker, here or elsewhere, who was
so perfectly reckless and unfair in his
statements as Mr.. CLARK was on that
occasion. ..
Mr.. CLARK spoke over two hours.
The first part of his speech was devoted
to the discussion of the great theme
with democratic" speakers" Ne
gro" and "Negro Equality and we
must say that we have never listened
to any speaker who seemed so com
pletely swallowed up, "soul, body and
breeches," by the negro, rs he was or
that occasion; and, if We are to credit
his assertions, we cannot help believ
ing that he is really afraid that, by
some Aocus pocas or legerdemain, thu

has been the bondman of the favored
race, will get the advantage of him II

Flow the dancer filings the cloak around
him, making it assume ali sorts Of fanciful
shapes-now clothing his body with it,
transforming it, as it were, into sea shell;
now waving the mantle over him like a ban
ner; and NV changing it into a floating
cloudiand making it descend like mist
around him-must be seen to be understood
Enough, let us hope, has been said to show
that Senior Donate is one of the most re-
markable performers Of this or any age
and that London is about to do his tslents

of the towns and cities Of the continent. is

Mr. Long Of Ohio.

The evening Of the 7th instant having
been set apart for makjp, speeches, thu
following interesting debate occurred. Thu
noble and patrisic sentiments Of Mr. Long
are those of a christian aud statesman. =
Had there been more men like BIN IN the
North, this war would net have occurred
for the necessity which forced ii on III
would not have arisen:
Mr. Broomall (Pa.) expressed his views
on the financial questions, the President
message boing nominally under considera
ton. ;.
Mr.. Long (Ohio) expressed himself as
against this war, as wrong in principles, and
must, if continued, result in the ruin and
impoverishment both of the North and
South. War for separation. has always
been found successful on the side Of those
who wished to separate. and it has been
found impossible to hold the two parties
together in common bon Is.
The coercion policy HIS failed, and il
must fail under the prov dence Of God, be-
cause it is in del VA ions Of law. IF any
cause cannot survive the truth it ought tc
perish. Our armies have done, all that
brave men could do, and brave as they are
and able as their commanders are, they
have not yet overcome the South, because
to do so is an impossibility. War has
widoned the breach twas intended to heal,
and was appropriately denominated in the
Chicago platform as failure.
He spoke of the late Presidential cleo
tion as farce, occasioning emotions of sad
ness, and msrking the decadence of the old
spirit Of our country. There never could
be Union based on the coercion Of sover-
eign States. War in that case was unjust
iiable, improper and inexpedient. If it
was still further prosecuted he preferred it
should be under the auspices of those VINO
now conduct its management. He had
been strengthened in the opinions he had
heretofore expressed.
Mr. Brcomall-Does the gentleman say
that State has the right to secede!
Mr. Long replied that he did so belive,
and there was nothing in the Constitution
to prevent it. It is unconstitutional to
coerce State.
Mr. Broonall- Wherein does tho gentle
man differ from Jefferson Davis ?.Does be
believe that Davis is wrong in trying to get
the States out Of the Union ?
Mr. Long-I am not here to answer for
the opinions of Jefferson Davis am not
here to say whether he is right or. wrong
[ am not here to curse or praise him. II
abuse would de anything, I should prefer
that the gentleman. and Andrew johnson
ard Parson Brownlow, the leaders Of the
Republican party, should curse him out OF
bis boots. That would put down the re-
bellion in short order.
Mr. Long gave his views on the right Of
secession. saying that the war was for ex>
termination, but God would not allow an
act of such atrocious vengeance. In taking
his leave of this House. there was no part
of his political life which he looked on with
u,ore satisfaction than the efforts he had
made to arrest the madness which prevails,
and avert the doom with which the country
is thl eatened.

"A Remarkable Dancer.

Donate, the one-leggcd dancer, is attract.
ing much attention in London, and paper
there thus describes his feats
"When Senior Donate first presents him
self, hopping on from the side scenes, nc
pleasurable emotion is felt; on the contrary,
the Immediate feeling rather partakes ol
the disagreeable. To see a man in the
very prime Of life, with one leg and stump
without support, coming forward. smiling
and preffering to do IN asstate of mutilation
what few male dancers, perfect and whole,
lofthe greatest art and experience, ever
could do namely, afford unqualified graf
ifcation-seems to shock ones delicacy, no
less than mock his credulity. Senior Donate,
however, enlists your sympathies pretty
well before you have finished inspecting
him. By his extraordinary bounds and
pirouettes on his entrance, he fixes your
attention in moment, and you are aston
ished at behold G dancer accomplishing
on ona~leg what you cannot remember any
professor of the Terpsichorean art having
accomplished on two legs. Nor when as
constituent has passed off is your interest
in Senior Donate exhausted. On the con.
trary, you see something to be pleased with
in his performance every moment, until at
last you acknowledge that he is not only
one of the most surprising dancers you ever
sbeheld, but one of The most engaging: aud
such is The case. A person NAV smile al
hearing the word graceful used in speak
ing Of a one legged dancer, but if ever the
term were applicable to a male Terpsicho-
rean artist, it is to Senior Donate, whose
mQtions. actions, gestures and general de-
pertinent are instinct with that natural ease
and propriety which are the essentials Of
grace. La short, the fact of Senior Donate
having but one leg is soon forgotten BY the
spectators, and their sympathies are en-
chained in following his marvellous feats of
agility and SCIENCE and these are by no
means easy to describe. Senior Donate en-
ters bounding on the stage to the tune Of
some Spanish dance. He accompanies the
tune with the castanets, which he plays
with more consumate skill than any one we
ever heard. This may be triae, butt is
