GREAT SPEECH.

" We propose to print entire, says the
Springfield Republic, one of Gen. Hayes
speeches in Congress. When on the
floor of the House he was asked by a
member, what radicalism was. He re-
piled, 'RadicaLism is Righteousness. =
This is the speech in full, and there is
enough in it for an entire campaign
| Gazette.
Yes, enongh for a dozen campaigns, if
they answer to humanity for the. outrage
Of placing the helpless of the white, race
under the control of an inferior race of
beings to civilization for mixing in one
conglomerate mass, the refined and pol
ished with the quiutessence of barbar-
ism, as embodied in the lowest type of
human beings; To justice for robbing
the people of ten States of their liberty
and governing them by military force !;
To Christianity for the merciless sacri-
fee of human lives to get control of the
peoples money. 'RadicaEsm is Righte-
ovsne8s.' Read a few of the charges to
which it must plead guilty:
Radicalism has destroyed the Union,
robbed the white man Of liberty, taken
your money out of the land, and substi-
tuted rag currency for it.
1t has advanced the price Of every
thing which laboring men us9 to double
or thribble its old standard.
1t has doubled our taxes and reduced
our means of paying them.
It has saddled upon posterity an
enormous debt which will curse their
children's children yea, even to the
remOtest generation.
1t has created a bond aristocracy which
holds your property and labor by mort
gage, and will live off the sweat of your
brow, so long as you tamely acquiesee.
1t has allied itself witha horde of
government officers, who meddle with
your business, pry into your affairs, and
rob your surplus earnings.
It has made the rich richer, and the
poor poorer, by its system Of excises,
duties, taxes, licenses and stamps.
It has sacrificed the lives of half
million of your fathers, sons and broth
ers, and can show no compensation Or
good result as a justification.
It has brought ruin, despair to every
home in the land without just cause.
1t has taken off peoples means with
out their consent, squandered and stolen
without stint and contrary to the plain
est dictates of justice, giving nothing
but sorrow and misery in return.
And in view of all these facts this
apostle and advocate of Radicalism-I
this nabob standard bearer of negro
equality, calls Radicalism Righteous
ness; and the smaller satellites of the
party shout "ballelujah," and go into
ecstacies over the brilliant display of
craftsmanship and giant intellectual abil
tiles, as displayed in the once halls of
Congress, in the above lengthy speech.
A wiser than Solomon is he A
greater than Webster is he, who, could
combine so much in so little
And the negroites cried mighty, nigh
ty, mighty is Hayes of the Africans

clans scorned it and traded it away in
their games. To vindicate the will of
the majority and maintain the existence
of the nation the people made every sac
rifce that is in a peoples power. With
an unlocked for exercise Of strength the
nation put down the greatest rebellion of
which there is any record, and then re-
quired of the dominant party only thatit
should paeify the country and restore
peace, exacting from the conquered merely
such a guarantee as would theoretically
provide against the recurrence of war /;
for, practically, the nation looked upon
the defeat Of the South in the struggle
fairly fought out as the best of all guar
antees for future peace. And what did
the leaders in view of this plan purpose !?
They ignored it entirely, treated the
known will of the nation with an insult
ing indifference supposed to be charac-
teristic only of C@sarism. Between
Puritan and niger was made the bargain
to give to the half civilized slave supre-
macy over his former master, in order
that the political balance of this brutal,
ignorant, and unreasoning vote might re-
tain the Puritan in power. That is the
exact present position of the Radical
party. In accomplishing its purpose
thus far it has traded away every title
of principle it originally had from the
sources Of power, and has reduced the
business Of Government to a grand swim
die, filling high places with corruption
beyond all parallel. Will the people
submit? viii they consent to see the
principles upon which the nation stands
traded to and fro. between scoundrels to
whom the gamblers, thimble- -riggers and
ket-book-droppers of our streets are,
by comparison, honest dealers? Will
they see the very heart and life of the
nation rotted out, that a craven, brutal
people, to whom slavery was more ben
eft than a degradation, may be set in
power above the white men of the coun-
try? California answers No" And
in her voice We may hear what istoeome
from the people of New York and Penn
sylvania-the doom of the political ira
ders. The people are no longer. to be
deceived by the shibbol9th of party cries
that have covered with the name of free
dom all this atrOcious scheming. They
will make a salutary example of the
sChemers.-NelO York Herald.

such men public who throw their Sian
der against the Germans whenever they
find opportunity, land such a man is
General Lee, the Republican candidate
for Lieutenant Governor for this State.
He is a full -blooded Know-Nothing and
a crazy temperance fanatic, and deserves
a good kick from every German in the
State.
Our motto is: "Who is not for US,
is against US, and this is the case with
Gen. Lee. We are no partisan ; do not
favor one party more than another, but
it is our duty to preserve the rights of
the Germans, and make known the cow
ardly and crazy men to the public.
We are not a graduate of great Uni
versity-only a working man-and we
do not want more than what is right be-
tween good and bad men. We talk to
the Germans through the Telegraph,
and make known to them the dangers
which are surrounding US. Let the
wolves howl, but don't be afraid. Stick
together at the coming election and vic
tory will crown US. Remember the
words of the heroic William Tell you

care for the innocent child, get ready,

THE GREAT ISSUE.
THE NATION AGAINST THE PURITAN AND
TIE NIGGER.

THE NATION AGAINST THE PURITAN AND
THE NIGER.
THE result of the election il Californ-
ia is the knell Of the Republican party,
announcing the absolute reputation by
the people of all the dangerous motions
that constitute its political programme,
as well as the repudiatiOn of the danger
Gus men who are its leaders. Parties
that no longer have the will Of the people
behind them may linger feebly on the
stage for awhile, but their end is not far
distant. When all the successes of an
organization must be secured by corrupt
means, when its triumphs are due to bar
gains, not to innate force, when its pur-
poses are not the peoples purposes, it is
evident that its real power is gone, and
that it must be hustled from the sight of
the nation. The first President of the
United States, whose election was not an
expression of the national will, but was
defiance of that will and the result of
bargain, was John Quincy Adams.
Before the people the decision in 1924
was in favor of General Jackson-Jack-
son had the largest popular vOte-but as
| the election was not secured by the peO-
ple's voice it went to the House of Rep
resentatives, and there the Presidency
was handed over by bargaining, to a
candidate who had not been the first
favorite with the people. Mr.. Adams
had popular vote smaller than Jack
sons Crawford and Clay had each a
still smaller vote; but through the infu-
ence of Clay a combination was made on
Adams, and the popular will indicated in
Jackson's plurality went for nothing with
the scheming leaders. Adams was Pres
ident and Clay had the first place In the
Cabinet. This association, iOr such a
purpose, of Adams and Clay, was what
John Randolph called ga corrupt coali-
ton between Puritan and a blackleg."
The people agreed with Randolph in their
opinions of this game, and did not forget
the men who had sold them out. Not
one of those involved in this bargain ever
recovered the national confidence. Ali,
even Clay, with his great abilities, were
remembered, to be Kept from all places
of high trust and power; and four years
later, when the people chose a President
again, they gave their most unequivacal
voice for the favorite jackson, and de-
clared the purpose Of the people to be
free from the thraldom that cOrruptlead-
ers had established. They blotted out
at once the whole party and the whole
political edifce of the corrupt coalition !;
and the leaders Of that coalition, despite
all effort, we,e kept down forever by the
determined purpose Of the nation.
We have been four years under the
thraldom fixed upon US by another cor
rupt coalition-that of the Puritan and
the nigger-only this was a more afro
cious bargain than the other, as the ma
tional purpose that has been betrayed
was one nearer the national heart than
any mere choice of magistrate, however
high. With all their might, with all the
emphasis Of ballot and bullet, the people
made their will apparent, and the politi-

MAN FROM ONION RIVER.

I was travelling the other day with
Squire Cliff, of Vermont He lives up
on the picturesque Onion river, of whose
scenery he is very proud. He is an en-
tertaining companion, and what they
call in the Western Reserve, Consider
able of a man, any way The great de.
feet about him is his breath, which is q
little the worst I ever drew near. It is
good not only to perfume a room, but a
whole neighborhood. They tell upon
him that NJ. MOustier, the polite French
minister, was travelling this summer on
Lake Chnmplain, and at Burlington,
Squire Cliff was introduced to him as
gentleman well informed upon Vermont
records and sceneries. " Marquis" said
the Squire, drawing close, "for two and
ffty.years I have lived upon the Onion!"
'Sare,' replied the Frenchman. 81
should think you lived on him one
hundrede !" I may add that the Onion
is now called the Winooski.

THE Penitentiary statistics, We see ig
stated, show that while there is but onB
white criminal in the Ohio Penitentiary
to every $3.50 inhabitants, there is one
black criminal to every 275 negroes.
The cost prosecuting these darkies is Q
heavy item in the expenses Of the State.
The per cent. of negroes in the jails
for minor offensss is still greater, and
sWells the expense. Many Of these negro
oOnvicts are from the South, set free By
the war, who believe that liberty is living
without work, and they enjoy that liberty
to the fullest extent.

observe that the posters for the Aboli-

GREENBACKs.

WHEN Hon. John L. Dawson, Dem
ocratio member of Congress from Penn.
sylvania, moved in Congress to Increase
the pay Of the soldiers and give him
Gold, the same as the bOndholder, the
Radicals voted it down they said green
backs were good enough for the soldier
or his widow, although sixteen dollars a
month bought very little -four. What
cared they, so the contracts for shoddy
and iron-clads were kept up. Now
greenbacks are not considered good
enough to get back the pieces of paper
mere promises to pay, called bonds
They are untaxed, the interest paid in
gold, which is also demanded for the
principal. We rather think the people
will not,stand them much longer. Meth
er will they submit to be called rebels
and traitors because they complain of
the heavy burdens they are obliged to
pay for bonds held by rich men, and
protected from taxation. GIVE US back
the bonds and take your legal tender,
which you say is good enough for the
people.-Fayette County Register.

NEGRO JURIES.

We make the following extract from
the letter of a gentleman residing in
Houston, Texas, to his brother in this
city. 1t will be found emphatieally
rich:
"a negro man had hired himself to
Mr.. A. for SIS per month-and at the
expiration of ten months sued Mr.. A for
S15O. A. admitted the contract as al
legged by the negro, and admitted that
he (the negro) had worked for him the
length of time for which the negro claim
ed wages. The case was submitted to
the negro jury, under the charge of the
court, and to the astonishment of all
present, they brought in a verdict in fa-
vor of the plaintiff fOrS110 The Judge
told them he did not see how they could
render such a verdict; that the negro
plaintiff was clearly entitled, by the ad-
mission of Mr.. A., to $3.50. A large,
dirty, greasy negro juryman raised up in
the jury box and with much gravity in
formed his Honor that 81 per month
was all the negro's services were worth; /;
that he knew the plaintiff to be trihing,
lazy scoundrel, and that the jury would
not allow him any more! o tempora I
O more8! The white man (Mr. Al of
course has no cause for complaint at the
verdict. But this is sample of their
ideas Of law and facts. God protect me
from such juries
" At the close Of the first week of
court in Houston, the negro jury were
paid off at the rate of 81 per day for their
services as jurors. And on the Monday
morning following, when court opened,
the negroes literally besieged the court
house to get upon the jury. Ono old
crippled negro stopped the Judge on his
way to court and begged for a place on
the jury, urging his crippled and almost

helpless condition as a reason why he
should be selected and further, PropOs-
ed to take the job of sitting on the jury
by the year. When the Judge informed
him that the court would be in session
only three or four weeks, he seemed to
think this was only an artful dodge Of
his Honor to avoid closing the contract,
and ingeniously proposed to take the job
By the gear at one dollar per dag! This
is the pure and uudefled channel through
which Verdicts now hoW."

NOT DISPOSED TO WAIT.

THE editor of the Illinois Stats
Zeitung, in a recent speech, said, in ref
erence to the fanaticism Of the Aboli-
ton party, that 'as I advise my German
friends to leave the Democratic party in
1854, as eagerly now do I advise my
German fellow Republicans to part com
pany with a party that has adulterated
its national programme by New England
Puritanism.' The Stats Zeitung editor

nection with the party that boasts of its

William Down Low,
THE HABLOT OF TENNESSEE.
Look at him, see he's smiling
Now mark him well the while,
For neveryet on smiling face
Beheld you such a smile;
So beaming and benevolent,
So holy and so pure,
An index Of the soul within
All! nothing could be truerI
Alas Alas You know him not
Beneath his gOdly smile
he bears heart that none could bear.
Save the corrupt and vile;
A smile such as the false one wore,
When on the mountain peak,
He tried to tempt the Son Of Man,
His wrath on him to wreak.
A smile that hides the soul within,
Wells the polluted mind;
a smile that falsely claims to preach
Good viii tO'ard all mankind;
a smile at once so Christian like
So meek, resigned and bland
Oh, cursed wretch, tear of that mask
And show the villain damned
For those that know thee, hypocrite
And meath thy surface gaze,
Detect a heart that only moves,
In dark and willy ways;
A heart wherein the life blood
Runs cold and black with hate,
A heat that never moves the tongue
The secret thoughts to prate:
A heart that only devils" have
Or might wish to possess,
A heart that would not hesitate
To kill with a caress.
A mind that to accomplish
Same base or fell design
To "heu" would honor, virtue,
And truthfulness, cOnsign.
A mind that Heser yet conceived
A noble honest thought,
A mind that Mephistophiles
To worship him has brought;
The pulpit serves it as a guise
Bat to pervert the right
With tongue well laden down with lies,
A soul " as dali as night"
A tongue that oily, smooth and soft
Deception never tires
Is making rOgues of honest men
And honest men Of liars.
Look at him-see he's smiling:

And know that though " loyal saint
His soul is Sc DAMNED TO HE'LL" ]. L. s.
