The Remedy for our Financial
Evils:--DcOnomy Hmpers-
lively Demanded.

ron the evening Of the 9Th ult., the Hon. John
r. Eden, the democratic candidate for governor Of
Illinois, delivered, before tho democratic club Of
Nation, the following address upon the financial
condition Of the couutryl
FrLLOw-CTIZENs 49, In presenting my
views upon the great questions now attract.
ing the attention Of the people, | shall con
tine myself to the discussion of the immedi-
ate issues involved in the pending political
contest. Differences Of opinion upon ques.
tons that have passed away forever may be
tolerated with safety; for no practical good
can possibly result from the most earnest
| consideration OF such questions and SO long
"a these differences are left to the detcrmu.
alton Of the ballot.box, influenced alone BY
the force of reason and argument, no harm
| can result from the conflict of opinion. No
such anomaly can be found in a republic as
uuanimity OF opinion upon matters of great
public Importance. II would have been
| strange, indeed, had the whole people of the
north agreed as TO the best mode of treating
the great political questions which arose du-
ring the progress of our late civil war. In
the excited state OF public opinion necGssari.
IL arising from q contest Of arms so earnest
and long continued, had there been no ex.
cess Of political excitement, we might CON
cludo that the passions and infrmites of
human nature were passing AWAY. On the
other hand should we now turn aside to
wrang!c and quarrel over the issues arising
out yC the war; which are settled beyond re
call, to the neglect of those matters of vital
Importance to Us to-day, and in all future
tune, We should commit the fatal blunder Of
allowing our passions and prtJudicos to gov.
ern Us, " the detrlmeut of all our material
interests. | am u firm believer in the capac.
!ty OF the people to govern themselves--
| Whist politicians may, and DO ten, become
| corrupt, the mas Of the people of all parties
! are honest N their political action. In the
| contest now before u, shall make my 90.
peal TO the people, and not to a party. The
issues 10 be determined by our next election
are too grave to be submitted to the sole ar.
bitrament Of parties. They rise above, and
reach beyond, the domain of mere partisan
politics. Shall republican institutions sur.
vive or perish? Shall the people govern
themselves, or be governed by r monied ar.
istocrscy, exempt from taxation, and rich,
overgrown monopolies, upon which all the
blessings of government are made to fall
These fearful questions are presented to the
American people for their solution, and must
be answered now. Look at the condition Of
the country, and see if you are willing to
continue the rule in the hands of the men
now in power at Washington. venture the
assertion that you may expose the whole
field Of history, and you can nowhere find

she was, with her skirts caught up
to avoid the dew, and her new gait
ers carefully hung over her arm.
1t was a trying moment for Char
ity Abbott, and all sorts Of wild
thoughts careered through her mind
at once, though she still kept on her
way, since 4 was too late for con
cealment. Yesterdays bushes when
he caught her exhibiting her CATERS
were as white roses to peonies com
pared with the burning red which
suffusea her checks and forehead.
e-I even crimsoned her ahcll-like
ears. That he should think her so
careful and penurious az to save her
new CATERS at the expense Of her
teet--her confusion was Overwhelm-
ing. What thoughts passed thrO'
his mind we will not pretendto say,
but it is certain he then and there
discovered that he was fully in love
with the girl before him, whom
hitherto he had thought he only half
loved. SO careful, and withal so
modest girl as her bushes betok
ened her to be, could but make a
prudent, faithful wife. The impulse
OF the moment came over him, and
he yielded to it, SO that when t., Y
at last met and he took her han -
say "Good morning. he looNed
frankly into her clear eyes, and said
instead, in a quiet, resolntc way.
"Charlty Abbott will you be my
wife ?"
Charity's answer is not on record,
but We are told that not many
months after, she bought for herself
a pair of snowy, satin slippers and
that her feet were shod with them,
as she stood dressed in pure white
by DIR. Norton'S side in her fathers
large parlor, while the grey haired
minister sad to them some very
solemn words-irom all of which
we infer that her answer at that en-
barraSsing moment was not cSpec-
tally discouraging.
