Tn. Democracy tired of sample Clark.

From the Bellaire Advertiser 9t3S.ii-l
Political Speaking.- Mr.. r. S. Clark
of Morristowh, delivered Democratic
speech to a very small audience at the
Cits Hall, on Tuesday night last. 1t
was, perhaps, the smallest audience we
think ever greeted a public speaker of
any kind IN our town. The weather
was unfavorable, and a great many peo
pie did not know anything at all about
it, and more than tiiat, the people are
tired of being hunbugged 10y these
speech making gentlemen. THEY are
going to do their own voting without
listening to what party shall. or may
say aud do about matters and things.
Mr. Clark is well posted in party his
tory, and deals many heavy blows at
his adyersaries. His style is too denun-
ciatory ever to accomplish. mech good
for any cause fie advocates. He relies
too much upon denunciations, and too
little upon reason aud argument, ever
to make any pfcselytes to his faith.
Severe epithets never yet convinced
any one of bis error, but reason and ar
srnent have. We iislike 10 hear or
read, harsh language; for we-have never
known any good to resuftto any one who
usedit. AsapGbiics speaker. this iscertain-
~. Mr.. Clark's greatest fault; otherwise,
leunderstands his business well enough
TO make i pissahle stump politician.
He knows his subject by rote.

Dor, will be called upon to intervene. We
must intervene there. The day has gone by
when the mailman Of Europe can be permitted
to repeat the atrocities which the early part OF
the present century witnessed in every Spanish
American country on this continent. The
establishment of a free government in Cuba
and its admission to the Union would be the
best solution for all parties there, and one
which would save US infinite trouble in the
future. The Jacksonian policy In Florida Is
the only one which will save General Grant
from host of Spanish flies, and he should be
prepared to adopt it in his owR behalf and
that of the country.

The inference may, or may not, be sound,
and the facts from which it is drawn may, or
may not, be reliable. Both these are fair
points for discussion. Bat Mr.. Moorhead
scorns all such resorts. He has shorter and
more conclusive mode of "refuting" Mr..
Wells arguments and disposing of his statis-
tics. He will stop his salary. He will starve
him into belief in the doctrine Of protection,
and at the same time punish him for having
ever doubted it, and for having said things
which induce other people to doubt it, And
as Mr.. Stevens succeeded in at once gratifying
his own resentment and in compelling Mr..
Harvey to quit Portugal and come home in a
state of starved admiration at the freedom of
private opinion which prevails in this country,
SO MIR. Moorhead may fairly hope to drive Mr..
Wells out of the Commissionership of Inter
nal Revenue, which he has made respectable
and influential, and compel him to brood over
his doubts about protection, in solitary retire
ment on bread and water. And to this the
House assents
We expect to see this plan of enforcing
opinions applied to all departments of the
Government. Why should President who
differs from Congress be allowed salary ?
Why should a heretioal Congressman (that
is to say, one who does not believe whatever
the majority believes) draw pay and mileage
and eat as good dinner as one of the elect {?
There must be stop put to this sort of thing.
There are some score or more of members who
have become infected with Mr.. Wells notions:
why should they not share his fate 2 Why
should Mr.. Allison be allowed to "defend the
Special Commissioner" and still continue to
draw his salary? And why, above all, should
Mr.. Pike, of Maine, be permitted to support
President Johnson's veto of the Copper Tariff
bill, and still be allowed to eat and drink and
pay for his dinner, like Christians and other
good protectionists
