THE DISCUSSION.

We have held back the "Democrat,"
a few hours in order TO be able to say
something relative to the discussion
between Smith and Logan, that came
off yesterday afternoon in the Court
House. But VIC have space only to
say u few words. The room was
filled with ladies and gentlemen, most
of whom listened with marked. atten-
ton to what both speakers said. Mr.
S. led off in a sound, pointed and log
zeal speech of nm hour and u half;
Logan followed, occupying the same
length of time, and Mr.. Smith closed
in a speech of fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Logan did not speak rs well as
we had expected and we disclaim all
partizan feeling when we say that his
speech was the poorest and the most
sophistical Of any we have ever heard
him make. We think his friends gem
orally were much disappointed. As
for Mr.. Smith-well {: we are not mt
all afraid to have him continue to dis
cuss the questions in issue between
the two parties. Democratic princi-
pies and measures arc safe III his hands.

was the appearance of Senator Sprague

daylight, so drunk that he essayed to
make a speech, and had to be taken into the
cloak room, by another senator, who, as
luck would have it, happened to be sober
enough to comprehend the situation
The federal Congress is radical in poll
tics"
When this fellow Sprague was a Demo
cra:, he was a sober man. Hc got drunk
one day, and has been a radical ever
since-not only a radical in politics, but
radically drunk. lie thinks Grant isn't
fit to be President, because Grant gets
drunk. There are probably other rea-
sons why he isn't for Grant-but this
one seems to be conclusive with him.
With the exception of Sprague-and he
is not entirely an exception-it is said
the radicals in congress and Grant are to-
g~ether-that is, we suppose, all drunk to-
gether.- Quincy (IU.) Herald.

Bear this ina Mind.

The Democratic party, says an
exchange, was organized in 1900,
and came into power in 1901. With
brief intervals it continued in power
up to 1851. During all this time no
nation was more prosperous than this;
no people more happy; no govern
ment less burdensOme. Taxes were
lighter than any other government in
the world ; labor was better requited,
and political liberty universally en-
joyed. There was Union between
the States, and happiness and pros
perity among the people. When bad
men sought to destroy the Union,
their blow was at the Democratic par
ty. They only hoped to accomplish
this by the defeat and destruction of
that party. By dividing It's councils
they secured its defeat. That was
seven years ago, and what have we
to day !? A broken Union ; ten States
under a military despotism, political
and religious liberty a by-word ; the
burdens of government more crushing
than those of any other on earth; la
Dor is remunerated with deprecated
promises to pay, and the necessaries
of life are of famine prices /; crime is
increased ten-fold, and vice is clothed
in purple and fine linen, the food we
eat, and the clothes we wear, the cof-
fins which encompass the last remains
of the dead, are all taxed to the last
part Of endurance-and what have
we gained? Nothing-igfn6teEy qoOrse
than nothing. Is it not time that the
memory of the past awakened the
people to an ambition for a glorious
future? What the country was the
Democratic party made it what it is,
is the work of the enemies of that
party. Is it not time that the people
begin to reflect upon the necessity of
bringing that party to power, and
with it, restoring the country to both
national and individual prosperity?
