IS Cur Youthful Representative on
his Travels.

Hon. IaHA11Us LoYoLA DoNNRLLY ap-
peared on Thursday evening last at Waba-
shaw before an audience of about forty
persona, men, women and children, drawn
together by the persistent efforts Of him
self and his adherents. He unrolled his
immense sorap-book, which is made up of
extracts from the Chicago Tribune, st.
Paul Press, BEEcHER's sermons, JOHN
Brown tracts, digest of CHARLES Sum-
MFRS works, land history of ;Hayti, and
read until hearers were nearly all asleep.
He then made a feeble attempt to arouse
them by depicting, in most doleful tones,
the .deplorable situation of the country.
Hesdeclared that the war was not over
that the South was not subdued; that the
people of the South had not surrendered
their hearts to the Union, Il. e. to CHARLES
SUMMER and THAD. STEVENS J and that
,shey.only wanted little time to recu-
perate, when they would rally again. He
wentiin strong for the nigger-he wanted
him in Minnesota to improve our waste
lands, and to make them "bud and
blossom as the rose )" he would ex-
tead to them the same privileges that are
granted to white uen, and alleged, that
socially '&nd politically, they were more in
telligent than the poor white trash Of this
country The negroes, said he, are as
good mechanics, as good farmers, lawyers,
doctors and. stump-speakers as the whites.
IGNArUs denounced Mr.. RICE, because
the latter favored the settlement of this
country with whites instead of negroes, and
was in favor of equal taxation. He also
sbused him and the Democratic party
without stint, for their approval of the
Presidents plan of reconstruction. DeN-
,NzLYs whole speech, correspondent
says, was made-up Of anecdotes, (some of
them not the most .chaste) and extracts
from his ponderous scrap book, interspers-
ed with the stalest and most common
place hbels upon the Democracy of the
country His friends were mortified and
indignant at the exhibition he made of his
extreme ignorance of the fundamental
principles of the Government, his lack of
all the qualities of statesman, and the in
decent use of the only gift with which he
is endowed" the gift Of gab." The little
fellow is almost beneath contempt, and
our correspondent thinks his speeches will
disgust every decent Republican with him
and his dOctri9es.

The Press is doing good service in the
cause of Mr.. RsCE. 1t has already sue
ceeded in making large proportion Of the
most decided Republicans, who might
otherwise have renamed quiet, jealous
and open advocates Of his election to the
executive chair Of the State. Many OF the
readers of the Press know Mr.. RICE per-
sonally. Many Of them feel that they owe
him debt Of gratitude for acts of per-
sonal attention to their interests, for kind
nesses and courtesies, which they can
never forget. The desire of the Press to
impose upon that class Of Republican
readers its expressed contempt for Mr.
RICE, and the attempts to infuriate them
against hins, have already rallied sutti-
cient number of such Republicans to his
support to ensure his triumphant. election.
This is as it sh0aid be, and proves that
an able and faithful public servant, de-
voted to the interests of the State, may
always expect to be appreciated by the
people, who will stand by him, despite the
ISLANDERS and vituperat;on of irresponsible
editors and unscrupulous politicians, al
though of their own party.
If we had the power to control the edi-
torial conduct Of the Press, We would not,
as matter of policy, change its course to-
wards Mr.. RICE. a. Dr.
For some ten yearsthat Mr.. RICE repre-
sented Minnesota vt Washington, we have
no doubt that he transacted daily more
business for his constituents, and performed
more labor to advance the interests of bis
State, than any other man in Congress.
This was his reputation In both Houses of
Congress. His attention to the interests
of his constituents was unremitting. For
them he labored necessarily, and never
complained. He denied himself relaxa-
ton and amusement to attend to their pri-
vate and public affairs. His house was al
ways open for them, and his hand and
head ever ready to serve them. The rich
and the poor, the learned and the igno-
rant, bis political foes and political friends,
we're all treated with like consideration.

orhood OF the State, there are Republic

which they will be glad of an opportunity
to acknowledge. Besides his willingness
to promote the interests of his fellow
citizens-and this seems to be his greatest
pleasure ability to serve them is ex-
traordinary. His knowledge, experience,
tact and promptitude in the transaction Of
all business connected with public affairs,
have rarely been equalled.
There is scarcely town or neighbor-
hood in the State where one will not hear
some person tell how he wrote to some
other representative in Congress- friend,
he supposed, upon whom he had right
to call for favors-asking him to attend to
some business st Washington, and that he
wrote again and again; and, accomplish
ing nothing on that line, was induced to
write to Mr.. RIoR, which he did, when the
business was promptly attended to and
closed up, oftentimes by return mail.
