sOliloquy of a Radical Member of
Congress.
BY BRICK PoMERoT.

Three thousand dollars year.
And mileage.
And stealings!
And-well that is enough!
It is but little I know of legislation--or
of laws-er of the Constitution. And it is
less that I care. The people have, like the
soul of blessed John Brown, marched on
from craftsmanship to intolerance aud ex-
periments. and any fool will make a good
abolition member of Congress if he has
Plenty of lip
Can abuse Democrats
Is good at stealing
Will legislste to protect bond holders and
aid to make poor men poorer; and believes
in depriving eleven Southern States of rep
resentation-to please six New England
States.
The people went crazy for the negro.
They grew tired of law--Of order-Of
prosperity-of peace--of national unity
of happiness.
They wanted to try something new, and
of course I am the man to aid the people, if
I can make few dollars by it.
was elected by an easy people-was
sent here to legislate. The time was when
members of Congress required brains
that day has passed. Once, men of ability,
statesmen and high-minded national men
were wanted for this business, but that day
has passed.
We live for agitation. We live for pri-
vate ends and aims. We legislate for those
who pay US best. We must do this. for IN
less We have such paymasters, how can We
live and indulge in all manner of extrava-
gance? What do care for the PeOple?-
The people care nothing for mel 1t is but
a few years can live-but very few if 1
indulge in Washington habits.
Legislators once worked for the interests
of the country. But that was Democratic.
Whatever is Democratic is wrong. The
Bible is Democratic-it advises peace on
earth, and good will to all men. This is
where Bible and 1 differ. don't care q
farthing whether my country is at peace or
not. The idea of National prosperity of
country's greatness is a novelty to my brain.
Posterity may take care of itself-my POck-
cts are what engages my attention.
If I can retain my seat and secure re-
election it is all want. The North says it
hates the South. hate the South. If the
North loved the South there would be no
trouble about representation. New Eng
land hates the South. New England money
controls me-New England brains manage
Western men-New England bond holders
own the Government, and they are M
special patrons.
What do care for the people? I say
damn.tbe people-damn the poor people
they have no business to be poor. Let the
poor people hold bonds as the rich ones do,
and then those who are poorer yet than the
poor people will have ali the taxes TO pay
Old style Legislation protected rich and
poor alike. Damn the old style. This il
an age Of progress. New ideas-new Con
stitution-new amendments and new bu.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR,

Every loyal citizen who loves and values
the prosperity of our State, should strive
earnestly TO choose and TO elect to all offices
and positions of trust, men who would be
credit to the office and an honor to the State.
The higher the office the greater care should
be exercised, and especially now, while this
State is placed in an unenvable position
before the country, by her drunken represcn-
tatiyes in Congress.
The question now presents itself TO us.
Who shall be the Union nominee for Cover
norf The qualifications of each candidate
should be brought prominently before the
people and thoroughly canvassed We
should now have man who will not only
concentrate the whole vote of the Union
party, but whose personal popularity will
drd'o c0tes from The Democratic ranks. and If
we select such candidate, success will
crown our efforts. OF the many worthy
men mentioned, we think no one possesses
the qualifications before mentioned in n
greater degree than James Riddle ESQ, cot
ton manufacturer on the Brandywine. He
is gentleman in every way qualified for the
position, and ii elected, will be found to be
'the right man in the right place His
has been no halfway loyalty When seces.
sion first raised its hdeous head, he waited
not to find its strength or popularity, but
came out squarely and boldly for the Union,
without hesitation or doubt. He contributed
freely TO raise troops-many men enlisted off
his own place and the widow and ornl,on
whose protector fell in battle, found in him
friend in time of need He is selEmade
