With that protest upon record, very
grave question might be raised ihreuen

have lost nothing by the effort, and thro"
Tho whole responsibility upon Congress
which, in my judgment, would damn the
Radical party in the North In less 'han
two years. .
Suppose, however, Congress rccedcs from

down and leave the control OF suffrage

The Democracy recognisoin capt
Conner an able exponent OF time
honorcd principles and a leader in
whom there is no guile, With such
Il leader, and the organization he
advises, we can bid defiance to 10y,
n! leagues, military bastiles, and
everything else that dare oppose
tho onward march Of the glorious
old party.
The Paris Ernminer has the fol
lowing in regard to Conncr's Speech:
Having been introduced by Judge
Bennett, us the young eagle orator,
and Democratic Champion of the
End Congressional District" every
one naturally expected something,
both sound and eloquent, and a
smile Of satisfaction from all pres
ont told well that they had not
been disappointed. Capt. Conner
is a fine speaker, and is altogether
n statesman Of uncommon ability
for one of his years. He is an un-
compromising and unyiclding dem
ocrat, and ip his composition we
find that nature has left him devoid
of an attribute 50 common among
morlcrn statesmen, and that is
POLICY. When called upon by some
one. and advised to make the race
for Congress as conservative" he
replied that he couldn't make a
masquerade race for any Office. Hc
came before the country n Demo
crat, and as a Democrat he will take
his seat in Congress.
He has had proud station OF
honor and trust awarded HIM by
people he knew not Of few years
since, and We hope and believe that
his future acts will draw him even
closer to the hearts of his newly
made friends. lie has a work be-
fore him, and one that will require
all the brave effort he can COM
mand. He has the confidence and
esteem of those who supported him
in the recent olecsion and many who
arrayed themselves against him
have proposed that his election now
be declared unanimous.
1t will bo remembered that the
Examiner was one Of the few pa
pcrs that opposed Conner.
