Ignatius, That $ Bitter Rdll.''
Thr Hero of Ninnger City sustained his
role Of Harlequin, at Ingersolls Hall, on
Saturday night last. The audience num-
bered one hundred and seventy-fve per-
Sons all counted. One half of them were
Democrats. Governor MILLER presided.
The Governor has been treated badly by
his party, and be has our sympathy. But
we suggest in al kindness, that be owes
it, ifnot to his own self-respect, at least,
to the dignity and honor ofthe official po-
sition which he holds, to abstain from fig
uring as Chairman in political ward
meetings at which such character Is
IasAT1us DoMKzE is to speak. Nwould
certainly be more consistent with the pro-
priety Of things for him to yield that hon
or to tho distinguished statesman and in-
comparable politician, Captain Russz11
BLAKKIxY.
On that occasion IGNANUs LoYoqA de-
livered, the Press wittiiy remarks, "the
best speech of bis life" And We must con-
fess that in theaccidental collocation of q
sophomore ign,asole of transparent soph-
istry, pervertedand taIsi6sd history. and
ponderous nonsense, "the YOUTH sur
passed himself: The "best speech" fl
tered down was ss follows: Secession is
not dead, but iveth. 1t is no more dead
than was the love Of the French people for
NAPOLEON while be pined away and died at
St. Helena. In proof, he cites a speech
recently delivered by JOAN s. PEnDLEroA,
of Virginia. Therefore We must keep up
a great military establishment at the an
nual cost of millions to . people already
borne down with taxation. We must not
admit the Southern States into Congress
unless they allow tho negroes to vote.
Great numbers Ct the white people Of the
South cannot read and write, therefore
they should not be allowed to vote. In q
word, surrender the country to the negro.
He has proven himself capable of self-go-
vernment in the West India islands. And
then IaNATIUs went into statistics to prove
that the British Emancipation Act has r.
suited in the prosperity and development
of Jamaica, Hayti, st. Domingo and the
other islands!!
Such is an outline Of this great speech!
Let rs see. There never has been in any
country, in any age Of the history Of the
world revolution, rebellion, followed
by 80 universal q willingness to submit to
national authority, Is the one through
which We have just passed. We have the
testimony of the high officers Of the army,
and of the President of the United States
in proof of the proposition. We have it
in the fact that all the principal Generals,
and civilians of the South have taken the
oath of allegiance, and are applying for
pardon. The JOHN 8. PENDLEroN alluded
to was never connected with the rebellion.
He was professedly Union man, within
the Union lines, passed most of bis time
in Washington, was an old friend and &C.
quaintance of Mr.. LINCOLN, was often ad-
mitted to interviews with him, and had
pass from him to 60 and come when he
desired. And what earthly similitude is
there in the case of NAPOLEON. He was
the idol of the whole French people. He
found France surrounded by 100000
hostile bayonets. He raised her from
the ruins which the equality of freedom"
of RoBRsPIKRRE, DANToN, and BR1ssor,
had wrought to dizzy height of dazzling
glory. The hearts of forty millions Of
people throbbed with tumultuous JOY, when
his remains were brought from the inhos-
pitable island to the shores of his beloved
France. The allusion of DoNNRLLY is sim
gularly unfortunate for more reasons than
one If twenty years hence, the people of
this country should elevate to the Chief
magistracy q man who should reflect as
much honor and renown upon her arms,
and councils, as the reign of LOUIS NApo-
LEON has shed upon France, we shall be
singularly fortunate.
But how is it with the West India Is
lands? Has not every one read the story,
or heard of the widespread desolation
which British Emancipation wrought in
those Islands. And does not every one
know that the partial prosperity achieved
among them, in the last few years, has
been III consequence of the introduction
into these Islands of the system of Coolie
labor-a species of labor more exacting,
more degrading, and as hopeless as any
the sun ever shone upon. Why did not
DoNNRILY expatiate on this? Simply be-
cause he knew that it would stamp as false
