Hon. George Crisis Speech.
Hamilton county has cause to be proud
of at least one of her Representatives il
the House of the General Assembly o.
Ohio. The z entleman whose name heads
this article obtained the floor yesterday
morning about o'clock to osrensibly dis
cuss the merits of Mr.. JEwErT's resolu-
tions in regard to the Congressional usur-
pative acts. and he occupied the time of the
House until few minutes after IL o'clock
Two points he demonstrated very con-
and it is not always that even
the best speaker does that. This cer-
tainly is paying Mr.. CRIsr high compli-
ment. He stated, with great particularly,
that the Township in achich he lives " giues too
hundred Democratic maj ority." He proved
beyond question that, in reasonably short
space of time, any t,wnship in which he
might live and undertake to enlighten the
voters thereof on political matters would
become Democratic to the extent of two
hundred majority. This is the first point
he proved to the satisfaction of all who
heard him. The next important statement
he made, and which he verified by citations
and remarks, was that he sis no lawyer-no
lawyer-indeed, he did not
know what" he is. We congratulate him
IN the masterly manner with which he es-
.ablished this fact. Had vote been taken,
here would not have been dissenting
7Ote. The vote would have been unani-
nous that he sis no lawyer-no constitu-
IN parliamentary body, what he is.
Ole member of the House, however, who
was patient listener to Mr.. CRIsT, thought
ne was entirely too rude in his condnct to
the American E lgle, and he has taken oc-
,asion to express to US his dissatisfaction
In these words:
"The American E Eigle is bird sacred to
every true-hearted American. 1t has its
3eak on the shores of Canada, its other end
IN the tropics-faps one pinion on the
Pacific, and gets the other salted with the
,riny Atlantic. 1t screams Hail Colum-
,ia wherever it pleases, and squirts it's
;obacco juice on the crown of every despot
md forces him to grin and bear it, or get
IN all-fired licking. Entertaining this
ofty appreciation of the bird, we were
much shocked to see it on yesterday morn
ng forced out in the cold by the honorable
member of the House of Representatives
rom Hamilton, Mr.. Crist. He rudely
;ore her from her perch, and sent her
through immensity; he jerked
feathers out of her tail, perforated her
yills, and inflated her with Cincinnati gas.
As one of the partners in the ownership OF
The bird, we object to this rude handling
We want Mr.. Crist to consider the right
If others. and act fairly, and not abuse the
creature. 1t has done him no harm, and
las never scared his family. We beseech
Mr.. Crist to spare the bird, and not blow
t up with any of his wind. He can use
lis pipe with perfect propriety on some
animal less noble. In the name of shrek
ng freedom we protest against inflcting
punishment on our country
emblem"
