KEMPER AND JUDAS lsCARlOT.

Gen. Kempcr cl osed hia weak, vipdictive
and malignant harangue here on the 10Th
ut., by one Of those flights of fancy that
none other than western orator, who had
CAUGHT inspiration from the highest peaks
Of the Rocky Mountains, could have aspir-
ed to. After insisting that he was the rep
resentative of an advanced 'scivilization, y the
avaagel of q political millennium an exemplar Of
the Pharisees code, II am better than thou
and that Republicans represented all the
lniquities that ever concentrated in barbaric
or civilized existence, he said that it was
the 'right' any SOD Of Augusta, or Virginia
had to vote against him aud the he causs rep
resented. But if he did, he would be forever
disassociated from his race and respecta-
bic recognition, and his name ba linked In
az infamous remembrance with that Of Ben
edict Arnold and Judas Iscariot!
| Such was the substance of the remark Of
Ksmper at the close Of his reckless, profane
and outrageous speech in Stanton. He
stood there claiming to represent and i'm
personate not only Republican Freedom
the very Goddess of Liberty-the spirit Of
our Revolutionary Fathers, but the Savior of
mankind, and the Plan of Human Redemp-
ton 1t is wonder that a tnunderboIt
from Heaven had not stricken him down In
his impious impotence.
When it is remembered that at lea st one
fourth Of his audience were Republicans
that mea who are his peers in everything,
aud his superiors in the essential element of
that civilization" of whose championship he
boasted-that is broad federation Of indi-
vidual opinion, and the recognition of ever
mans Fl hit to think, speak aud act with
| freedom-the brazen hardihood of tho man
may be appreciated. AS was remarked to US,
"Kenper is not fit to be the Governor Of a
free people. He might do to plant his foot
on tbs neck of slaves-.hat respectable
poor man would have the door of the execu-
tive mansion slammed in his face, he
sought an audience of him" The effect of
this outrageous comparison was to disgust
many of his own party, and to stimulate to
renewed energy the Republicans in their Of
forts to save the State from the disaster Of
the election of man whose sense Of proprie.
ty is SO gross as to amount to brutality.
The Vindicator was evidently ashamed Of
the sentence we have noticed, as it studious-
ly avoided mention of it, ia the report Of the
speech it gave last week.

1t should not be forgotten that Witherf
and Daniels were Know Nothings, favored q
residence Of "a years in the United States
before foreigner could vote, and were for
Americans ruling America" as though nc
foreigner or Catholic was capable of holding
official position. This same spirit Is control
ling the politicians who are in the lead OF
the Conservative party. Let the people be-
ware how they foster it.

KEEPER ON THE SCALAWAGS.

While Gen. Kemper was in Stanton, he
met in his room two Confederate officers of
prominence in the war, and now as citizens.
Thinking that both Of them had supported
Greeley, he asked, "How will these damned
scalawags 60, who refused to vote for Gree
ley?" He met the quick and determined rs-
ever stirred humanity" eyes, you put up an
internal scalawag, and now wish to denounce
every man who would not support tho old
reprobate as q damned scalawag" The geE.
tleman, who had called on visit of respec.
and friendship, got up and instantly left the
room. He mad not voted for Greeley.
When it is remembered that Kempcr was
the author Of the resolution that committed
the Virginia delegation to Greeley, the Sian
derer Of Virginia's men and women-the re-
buke was singing and well timed. The il
tolerant spirit manifested in this instance,
in classifying respectable Virginians as seal.
awags, the peers Of Kemper in everything,
to say the least, who would not vote for Gree
lev, is shown in his denunciation of those
who will not support him, as Benedict Ar

Gov. Oglesby's inaugural, which ap-
peared in TIE BULLETIN yesterday morn
ing, is very we'll written dccument-for
Mr.. Oglesby. 1t contains some mixed
ideas about the powers of the general and
state governments, and . few suggestions
Of startling character, which cannot fail
70 create much discussion. it warns the
railroads to not tempt the people too much,
deprcates mob violence, attacks the
right to change venue in criminal and civil
cases, and throws pebble of inuendo at
the judiciary-praises it in order to init
mate that it might advance at more
rapid pace. The party which elected
Mr.. Oglesby will scarcely endorse it as a
whole. and the opposition will not find
more to commend in it than the COVER
nor's friends do.

STATE RIGHTS"

Governor Palmer, in the admirable |
message laid By him before the general
assembly now in session at Springfield,
took occasion to warn the people of the
dangers Of centralized power in the Re-
public, and warmly commended the doc
trine Of state rights-"local self-govern-
'ment." He said nothing in bis discus
sion Of this subject which would not re.
ceive the vigorous applause Of even the
most advanced Republicans a few years
ago. He said nothing in depreciation of
the powers Of the federal government,
nothing inconsistent. with the old-,ime
ideas Of "the fathers" in regard to the
complex nature Of our political ins,itu-
tions. He did not use the language Of par
tissn controversy, but Of thoughtful states

Strange TO say, he has nevertheless
