Mr.. Morton has delivered another speech.
This time it was 10 Oregon. He says that the
"Gre. eating, aggressive class, who gamble and
ruu horses, dominate men like Hampton and
Nichols and prevent them from publishing
crimes which iu their hearts they execrate; and
is firmly impressed with the conviction that 10
case the democrats get control OF the govern
ment the South will demand indemnity fol
loss Of property, Including slaves, during the
rebellion, and will demand that all Coincide
rate soldiers be pensioned the same as per.
sons who served in the Union army.
Poor Mr.. Morton seems Lent 90 self-Immolatlon.
Logan was driven from the U. S. Senate by
the people Of an adj ,ining State for pursuing
lust such course as that he s now on. but he
is apparently unable to appreciate the warning,
and, like the Frencbman. will only begin to
suspect something after witnessing it with his
own eyes, and that something, in his case, will
be his defeat 10 the Indiana Legislature next
year. Indiana people, like those of the whole
