sANDUsKY, THURSDAY

ty.G .Leok to my. Youngstown speech
for the evidence of idiocy, !. They
feel that there is something in that
speech, for. their daily confessions
Of distress over it are fnadess'wfth
groanings that cafliiot beiuttered.--
They sneered at the markstnat while
!, the, arrow rankles in their flesh. A
/ Venerable friend who voted with me
before the tiood-not Noahs food;
nor the ancient Charles b. Flood
but the7fiood of loyal bloodthat del
uged treason and it's supporters and
| apologists, alluding to my picture
of Thurman feasting rebel prisoners,
approached me with this question:
ItDeacon, how do read that scripture
whiehrsays,f.I was sick and in pris-
on and ye visited me p Answer
1t never occurred to me that the fu-
ture Thurmani feasting fat traitors;
was the model in the Omniseient
Eye when he drew that divine pic

John the Baptist in prison.

Ibid give Thurman some dreadful
Fkeavy blows Certainly / did, and

E1Timrman's effort was. not to- show
pity for poorrprisoners,. but public
Ily, proudly ad Extensively to exhibit
his sympathy for the rebel cause,
andit was this that won him the nom
iiaation by the. Confederate party as
it hadbeefore Won it for .Vallandig
ham. SO far. from his denying 1.-THE
lis proud of it. It his his political
capital in trade, his trump card, his
bird on his battle banner In Civ

ferred to; i said there is civil and
a military, wing TO each party: 4t
The civil wing Of that party now
gives the standard into. the hands of

Gentlemen, that is enough, ,fofme.
