hDfti h1I fAAce On independent taHGl-
dates, Hogs, Old Nhlgs, Radicals, etc.
The most amusing speech we have
read in a long time vas made by Sow
ernOr Vance a few weeks ago at States
vile, North Caroliua-Bead the follow
ing extracts and laughsrr
One fellow VIA teh you he is an old
W-h-i-g, and don't Ike the Democrats
and -e-cessionists: that they BROUGHT on
the war and are responsible al the
ruin Of the country. and Therefore they
think they had better go over.
Laughter. Now, / have this to say
about that. In the first place, the se-
cessiOHists, alone, we're not Eresponsibie
for the war The Northern abQlitiOnists
had, in my opinion, mOTe to do In bring
ing Oh the war than anybody else. But
suppose the Democrats were to blame
for IL, how does that effect the Question.
What excuse does shat give for Lending
your inffueuce to q party that s robbing
the country Of the little the war lef. il.
suppose j was a Democrat at the Begin
ming OF the war (which L newer was, oI
o secessiOnist which i never have been,
or that / helped TO bring on the wa
which l never did, is that any reason
why youshouldtak to stealing? Laugh
ter. Supposed neighbOr should catch
You rObbing his hen-fOOst, do sou think
il would be a good excuse TO say, why, /
wouldn't have stolen these If Vance
hadn't this ware More laugh
ter.
Now i want to tell you some ofthe
symptoms ola fellow when he begins
to turn over. He first begins to talk
about being -i1deDsndent' Laughter.
He is not tied down 60 any party, aMd
win vote for what he thinks best, etc
According to the diagnosis Of The most
lskillfl political doctors, this symptom
means the same thing rs the Eheufi
there says when he leads a horse Oub to
the block and cries out, Who says, gen
tiemen, and how much?5 IApplause.
This Is an independent hOrsei IGreat
Applause. In other words. he is fOI
sale. Aman who is devoted to priuei-
pie can't De independent. His princi-
pies cOnstrain him to vote with that par
ty which viii carry them out. The next
symptom IL al intenselO love Of old Wing
gerry. daughter and applause When
this comes out strong you may appoint
the funeral. Laughter. Railways
Ready Relief can't save him. Great
laughferand continued applause I do
protest, and beg if any man wants TO
join the Radical party, he wont pr0st[
tutC the name OF old Wings. The old
Wing party was at least a deeeut party.
The Democrats in oldeu times used to
call it dr~istocrGtic, and to some extent
It was. ! can see now many Of these
old fellows who used to dress with zcTu-
pulOUs neatness, their boots 50 black and
shiny that a puppy would bark at his
image In them all day TlaugheT}, his
shirt cOllar white as paper and stiHas
pssteboaTd; in his pocket he carried 8
copy OF the National H~tedjgG4cer, and
bowed his nose with the sound Of q
trumpet in a red bandanna handker-
chief. TGreat laughter and applause.
such men werethe very salt Of lie earth
for personal and political uprightness.
They elevated no thieves aud public
plunderers to high positions in tue gov
ernment; they made no LittleGelds the
guar ,iaus Of their State bonds; they had
no sam. Watts nor JaybiTdJOues on the
bench. They associated politically with
no Cuffy MayO-Deweese, A. J Jones,
Windy Bhlys, and JordOn Chambers.
LApplause.
This prOfane use of the name Of Wing
reminds me Of a circumstance that hap
pened once in my law Office. A fellow
came in day, and, taking a seat,
with sheepishc Ountenance said, Gov
ernOr, me and another gentleman has
got into a little scrape, and want YOU to
help me out Of it.r "Nhat sort Of q
scrape?n said ]. aW-e-l-I, it's a kfndof
dispute said he. "But what kind Of
dispute?n said ]. "Weli," saidhe again,
Hfts q matter consarnin' Of hogs"
lTLsughter.l "Well, how, concerning
thOgs?r said /. "WeIl,u said he, II be-
Iieye he accuses me Of taking one Of
'em.n lGreat laughter. He didn't
want to call it by its right name. Now,
IL any Of You want to go over to get your
share Of this plumber that's going round,
don't put it on ''Old WhiggeTy.n EGTeat
laughter Don't call it "a matter of
hogs but come out openly and call il
by its true name-a matter Of stealing.
Continued applause and laughter,1
Some men pretended to find a great
similarity between doctrines Of the old
Wing party and Radicalism. There is
no Whiggery in any Of these violations
Of the constitution and Outrages upon
civil liberty that l have mentioned
Light is not more widely separated from
darkness than are the principles which
distinguish these two parties. Just i'm
! agine, nyOu can, Henry Clay wallow-
ing in the same led with Billy Holden,
the Hon. Cufy Mayo, and Windy Billy
Henderson, and Daniel Webster stirring
themiwith stick. LUproarious laughter.
Irepeat, if you have any inkiing for the
Z ieshpOts Of Egypt say 50, and be done
with it. Be like the girl when her BASH
ful sweetheart, ashamed to speak his
Z -,fDI. cat and suueI LTD his ansfaIa -,
stupid embarrassment, and kept press
ing her foot with his under the table.
| She finally exclaimed, John, if you
love me, why can't you say 80, like a
man, and quit dirtying my clean stock
ings" LGreat laughter.
Look als0 at the political persecution
to which they are su6eeting the people
in the Federal cJurt&IDder this infam-
Gus, unconstitutiona kublux act. Ihaye
heard it stated that there are two thou
sand defendants indicted ard to be tried
at Raleigh, no doubt before q packed
Jury Of Radicals, as others have been
tried, no one Of whom is charged with
taking life or for any other Offense which
would amount to more in our state
courts than assaults and battery Oraforei-
bic trespass. / have seen i've or six
hundred passing through Charlotte at
one time, OF men, women aud children,
going two hundred and fifty miles from
home to attend court, some with their
ratfons tied up in rags, leaving their
farms to neglect and ruin, with little or
no money, and compelled for want Of
means to camp in crOwds without = shell
ter over, their heads, fOrweeks at time.
How such a sight does Sill me with love
and admiration for the government
The object Of all this is apparent enough.
One Of their most distinguished men had
the impudence to tell me that they in
tended to run enough of our citizens
away by the kuklux prosecutions to
carry the State in the next elections. !
told him, ifyou undertake to do that /
will issue q proclamation telling them
al 30 come back. daughter and up
plause.1 l only tell you what / had
from the mouths Of their own leaders.
Stin some men pretend that they are
not satisfied with the progress that the
/ Democracy are makingto restore q prop
er rule to the country, and they make .
thousand objections to continuing in the
conservative ranks.
