the democratic party up to the time OF
James Buchanan. Twas old enough, when
he said a man ought to work a day for
sleeps head and puck. then could not
vote for him. The welfare Of our children
and the future Of our country rests on these
institutions Of Liberty, aud we should
transmit them as free aud pure as we re-
ceiyed them from our fathers, and II we do
not we are answerable, and there is where
the movement Of the people isderiyed from.
The gentleman says the republican party
repealed the salary steal Why, it was
the shock which its passage gave to the
people which done it. When they came
home they were told, "You have got the
money of the United States in your pock-
ets--you are pack OF thieves" and they
could not stand it, and they obeyed the
people through fear, and the people by ri
sing up against it caused them to repeal it..
The gentleman tells you he has no doubt
but that the Supreme Court will decide
that Congress can regulate Interstate COM
merce. Why didn't they do that the last
session? The House Of Representatives
did, but why didn't the Senate? They were
farther from the reach Of the people. But
when the people move in one solid mass
they went wait, but they will pass it OF
the next session, il the people only insist on
it and stand together.
| The gentleman wants to know which
really you would rather have, this debt
this vast debt, or the country I will say
to him this, we would have the government
and we would have the debt paid, honestly
paid. It might just as well be paid as r
squander the money. And the would-bt
politicians insist we should have a propel
and economical administration Of public at
fairs, and squandering the money Il Why
should you not II has been because thu
money has been squandered that the PEG
pies party have risen. There has been NJ
disposition to take care ofit. That Is why
the people complain. '"They have saved
twenty seven millions in their estimates fol
the year to come,"-and they will have t
pass bill at the approaching session II
lieu of the twenty-seven millions the!
didn't appropriate for, they have reduced
it for electioneering purposes, and have go
to make up the deficiency as soon as Con
gress meets. It seems strange to hear tn
distinguished gentleman say the back pa.
steal should not be charged to him. III h
does not want to be held responsible for
he should not become standard bearer
he should not endorse il by standing on
az one of those men that did the thing. B.
standing out on that side he is one Of them
his influence is that way. and II you vot
for him your influence is that way too.

The Dubuque Telegraph (democrst-
icy referring to the disturbances at the
South, says:
"The once antagonism of white free.
dom and black slavery is only changed
into the more direct and personal an
tagOnism of white and black men, and
in this antagonism the battle between
the races will be and must be fought"
That is undoubtedly correct, SO far
as it applies to the Democratic party
of the South. Though the Ieleqyaph
will take sides with the oppressor now
as it did of old, it will meet with the
same terrible and crushing defeat.

connection with public affairs, has GER
tainly hid his talents away for many a
long day to rust, or else they have
been exceedingly mediocre to begin
with. We observed, however, that he
was not lacking in devoting his limited
talents to the specious unmanly pur-
poses of the pettifogger. Perhaps we
ought not to have noticed the gentle
man thus far, but all our readers will
not hear hia-if they could, it would
have been entirely unnecessary for us
to have made any comment.
Judge Sampson spoke for about one
hour, to which Mr.. Gates replied in a
twenty-five minutes speech. The
Judge was clear, logical and forcible
IN his remarks, showing clearly just
appreciation and knowledge of the
great questions of the day. His
speech was such as at once convinced
his audience that as he has upon the
bench been pre- eminent, so in the halls
oflegislation would they have through
him a man who would have clear,
honest and well.digested opinions up
on all questions, and the ability to en-
force them. The audience listened to
him with the greatest attention
throughout, and he was repeatedly
cheered most heartily.
His views are peculiarly sound, and
we confess that we were agreeably
surprised that the Judge should have
succeeded SO admirably as he did,
since he has been SO long out of prac-
tice. He showed clearly that he is not
wanting in the ability to make most
successful speaker on the hustings.-j
We are gratified that this discussion
occurred here. 1t has heightened the
Judge much in public estimation, and
we can only regret that the public
could not have been informed of it,
and many hundreds of our citizens
have heard and seen together, the two
candidates.
