Judge Thurman, being called upon,
addressed tho Convention in stirring and
patriotic remarks. The following is a
brief synopsis of some Of the points made
by the Judge;
Judge Wwman's Remarks.
Before tho creation Of the public debt
= in Great Britain, q member Of Parlia.
ment was elected without the expenditure
of more than o hundred dollars. Aftei
the creation Of the debt, it cost three
thousand, and even fifty thousand pounds
We have now q debt equal to that oil
, Great Britain. One-third of the proper
ty of the country is exempted from taxa
!, tion. 1t is easy to see that corruption
. has placed her foot in u midst. Tht
!, men who maintain this system will nevo
be satisfied with a popular government
A. conspiracy is on foot, aud the machin
|, cry in operation, for creating a priviledg
cd aristocraoy in fact, if not in name.
The tendency of these things is TO cor
0 rupt the masses. Already it is a%sserte,
that the war has proved that men are in
capable Of self government. 1t would b
as wise to say that oil civil government
9 is a failure. While war lasted, men sub
: mitted to arbitrary and military rule as
necessity. But this was a triAe, com
pared TO the insinuation hat the peopl
are not for, or capable Of self.government
Speaking Of the members Of the Con
n vcntion, he said they represented an hon
) est, working set of people, unskillcd i
the arts Of intrigues, and Of manipulating
for money, The Convention had a re
sponsiblo trust 10 'ful6ll-to present fc
the suirrages Of such men, honest, capt
Bile and faithful candidates-no matte
what the office was to be filed.
e The great danger in time Of war wa
the Inauguration Of military dcspotism,-
But that danger is being now passed
there succeeds a groater-thO creation
'e a national dobt. Never was there a tim,
when it was so necessary as now, to che
ish the principles Of Democracy-of d.
!, mocracy Synonymous with free govern
! ment and free institutions. If We woul
maintain our inheritance Of freedom, no
i; is the time to plant the principles
nj Democracy thatthey shall grow and fou
ish forever. ~
