uNise chang" aud you will surely cure
the l..ea.t, has been preached to them by
,a,ae5eSy D.mo2fAt;c stump orator
.al p.upc.a,ic nsS.paPer in the land.
:, a.idaously and unremitIingly has
,bi, idea been hlrPel upon that it has
,lsya p session u t4r country a. some
thing worthy pi experiment, and hence
vas. Numbers of voter, in every State in
the union have been induced 10 90 in
ior "CIIa3s.' This ileA ui Change
was the burden Of Mr.. Thurmln' speech
in .hi. city a few weeks ago, and we refer
to it now simply to illustrate how insin-
cere ha4 been the plea in the mouths OF
intelligen. and influential men like that
distinguished Democratic Senator. We
convicted him i, tie time, out Of his
own month, oi aTrInt denagoguery in
making such an appeal to the people.
We showed by quotation from one OF
hi, speeches in the United States Senate,
when the Resumption Bill was under dis.
cqsiou, that he had opposed that bill be-
cause i. did not work expeditiousIy
enough in bringing about specie payments,
and that he had taken occasion at that
time to diacourse very differently upon the
general nature Of and remedy forPanics.
And vet our exposure Of Mr.. Thurman's
pphistry and demagoguery had little or
no eiIsc. upon those who listened TO his
Arguments on the stump here. They pre-.
lsrred to believe the deceiver rather than
weigh his speech IN the Senate against
hi, speech on the 4iustiugs. Why? Be-
cause i. ws something congenial to the
temper Of the times and the circnm'
Stances of a great number Of his auditors.
And yet there never WAS greater
sham than thia cry for Change, with q
view Of bringing abo ut better times.
Better times must come just as Mr.. Thur.
man said theg mus. come lin his Senate
speech, by industry and economy and
not BY artificial means. Such appeals,
however, answered their only purpose in
the North; they turned over enough States
las it now appcars) to the Democratic
nominee 10 put the party in power. With
nine'tenths Of the leaders it matters not
a straw a. to what the rcsul. may be.
They have accomplished the purpose in
view, viz the control Of the gov.
srumenL aud that is their only
concern in the matter. Those who
have been seduced into voting the party
into power on the idea that it can give
the country any patent prosperity will
10 Tue course Of time awake from their
lelu.ioI. They will find that Thurman
told then the truth in the Senate, and
thlshe simply tritled with their credulity
IA speech on t6s stump.
Another point on the same subject
There are a vas. number Of persons who
believe that somewhere, in some way, we
