Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1867-11-11

OF high public excitement, say and do that
which their cooler judgments condemn
Men say and do that which it would bs
folly to remember. How many who have
Joined us this year have hated us in the
last seven years? Shall we, therefore, hate
them. Shall we, therefore, repel them?
Shall we. therefore, ostracise them? Shall
we, therefore, try them by bed of Pro-
crustes?
No, fellow Democrats; no. Whoever Is the
friend of our country NOW is our friend.
Whoever will assist us to rescue the Re
public from destruction deserves our hearty
welcome. Vae uictis-woe to the conquer ,
eds the cry of the Radicals; not our cry.
It's the slogan that calls for Disfranchise-
ment and Confiscation, and Negro Supre-
macy. 1t is not the maxim of wisdom, OF
virtue or of patriotism. No, my friends,
though we have cause for anger and spite.
II such passions were ever justiiiable. yet
let US remember the words OF Hlly writ:
:" He that is slow to anger is better than
the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit
than he that taketh a city,"
At times during the delivery of Judge
FHURMAN's remarks, the voice of the ora
tor was drowned by loud and prolonged
applause.
Mr.. E. T. DELANY was the next speaker
presented. In response to the loud calls
of the audience he appeared on the stand
and spoke substantially as follows:
| My FRIENDS: Since the Crescent has
been eclipsed by the waning fortune of the
Moslems, the civilized world has regarded
Turkey as the ''sick man. of nations. Eu-
rope looks forward to its dissolution with
the unconceale1 joy of an heir apparent.
We, too, have occasionally heaved a SYM
pathetic sigh for a,.d cast pitying glance
upon the degenerate, unfortunate Turk.
sympathy is a beautiful, Christian senti-
ment; a mysterious tie which binds hu-
man hearts together. making each feel a
brothers woes anil by sharing, lessons
them. But sympathy, like charity, should
begin at home. Not only is there 'sick
man. in this Republic. but also sick par
ty. "You that have tears to shed prepare
to shed them now," for the idvalii needs
our most profound sympathy! 1t is an
acknowledged fact that the r idical party
is sick past all surgery: yea, sick even
unto death No longer is swiftness in
its limbs, or triumph on its brow. It's
ialtering, palsied steps in California
Montan,, Ohio, New York and New Jer-
sey exhibit Observation-Disclosures of spec
dy dissolution. Its last, feeble, lingering
glance beholds Massachusetts, doubtful and
Boston Democratic! This is the most un-
kindest cut of all ~ Et tu Brute! The pro-
phetic words of Webster have been real
lied :-Radicalism twill fall at last, as fall
it must, upon the very spot of its orig in.'
Like the bird sent forth from the Ark,
Radicalism finds only few unclean places
on which to rest its weary feet. In piteous
tones it beSeeches the Democratic party
tor little earth to hide its bones. The
Radical Doctors are engaged in making a
! diagnosis of its maladv and of course like
all Doctors they differ widely abont the
cause of the illness and the remedy 10 be
, applied. Chandler profanely asserts that
his remedy is to phlebotomize the
patient; and with a few oaths
J to make his assertion emphatic he pro-
claims that the Radical patient will never
| be worth rush without q little blood let
ting" Wendell Phillips combats the opin-
| ion of the Michigander, and broadly hints
: that the patient has mo blood to spare"
2 The philosopher of the Tribune thinks that
the Radical party was Chased to death
. during the recent elections. Greeley pre-
' scribes mild cathartic and Graham bread
r for the patient. Old Stevens thanks Prov
idence for the Radical illness. The party,
? he says, was too cowardly, and by despair
, anticipated its miSfOrtunes. Thaddeus re-
iterates his determination to administer
: potion to the patient on the meeting of
Congress, which will ''Stiffrn its sinews and
e summon up its blood" Thad. will find it
' ratHer difficultto galvanize a corpse. For
d, ney, in his too papers, both daly-misfor-
! tunes never come Siaqly-declares
that the Radical patient requires a
: stt'nuldnt. That its sickness was caused by
! placing it upon cold water basis, Forney
therefore prescribes a little brandy and
, water. Sumner is of opinion that the sick
f ness was caused by wedding the party to
e negro suffrage. That wedlock is unfavor-
able to the happiness of men and the pro-
I gress of parties, Charles advises divorce.
t Comfy, of the Morning Journal with the
2 wisdom of an owl and the face of an un-
7 dertaker, gives seuen reasons why the party
} is s k. Like the Sheriff who told Judge
not ,l,,,a
! witness subp9ned did not attend: First,
your honor" said the Sheriff, ''the aoitness is
t dead Second-' "The first is sufficient"
responded the judge. Mack, of the Cinctn-
natl Commercial. visited Ben. Wade re-
Gently. The Senator who has been
,oeighed and found a1dnting, besought Mack
| and the readers OF the Commercial ''to pity
the sorrows ofa poor old man!' Mack re-
, ferred to the late election, and was about to
give has opinion of the patient, when Ben
, jamin exclaimed, "Mack, no more of that
if you love me ~ 1--WE are fellow mourners.
but there is no grief like unto mine. The
frost of the late election nipped my sena-
. torial blossom in the bud!
Of comfort let no man speak:

Save our decomposed bodies in the ground
The Chinese, it is said, always have a
coffin in each family. John Chinaman new
er regards his wardrobe complete until he
has coffin of the latest style. This is rath-
er peculiar custom, but certainly a very
prudent one. The Radicals in Ohio adopt
ed this custom and measured their party
for a coffin previous to the late election
"The sunset of life gave them mystical
lore" and the result has proven that a cof-
fin is not only Il convenience but neces-
sity tor the Radical party. Soon, very
soon, the mOribund patient will be lowered
to its final resting place, "unwept, unhon-
ored and unsung." A post nlorten eXami-
nation OF the Radical party would disclose
the following cause of its decease:
First and chiefly. unequal and therefore
MUST execution. The Radical party sought
by iniquitnus legislation to grind, to crush
the masses for the benefit of the few. 1t
sought by insidinus measures to build up a
bonded aristocracy, privileged class. by
eXempting large portion of the capital of
the country from taxation and placing the
additional burden upon the mechanic, the
laborer and the farmer. 1t inaugurated and
sought to perpetuate one currency for the
rich and another for the poor. The people
i'll their might repudiate such infamous
schemes and demand that every citizen of
this Republic shall bear the burdens there
of in proportion to his wealth, no matter
under what form that wealth may exist.
The Radical party ignored the wishes of
the people and therefore the people ignored
it.
Secondly, thedisunion policy of the Rad
icals. The American people demand a res
toration of this Union; they indulgently
gave the Radical party more than too gears
