Pennsylvania, wherever meetings have been
held, they have been remarkable on those
two points. They indicate that the people
are wide awake on the subject of admins

to avail themselves of the opportunity to be

party, which has not only proven itself a
failure, but has involved the whole country
in its disastrous bankruptcy.

A bright AND SHINING LIGHT.

The most eloquent orator of the present
campaign on the Republican side is Col.
"Bob." Ingersoll, of Illinois. His brilliant
speeches have been received by Republicans
everywhere with unbounded enthusiasm.
His political principles may be correct so
far as his party goes, but in moral point of
view his beliefs are extraordinary and out
rageous. The following is an extract from n
lecture delivered by him not long since:
"Search the records of the whole world,
find out the history of every barbarous tribe
and you can find no crime that touched a
lower depth of infsmy than those the Bible
God commanded and approved. For such

A fine leader, truly, for party whose
banner bears the legend "God and Morali-

Curtis, Mr.. Evarts, Mr.. Hoar and their like
must enjoy the utterances of this impious
scofler; with what pleasure must they listen
to the enuncation Of high toned principles

in the campaign and stands nightly upor

persistently disregarded all laws, both hu
