If consistent with your views, may
l question, my youthful Emmett,
uprn lis lesson Of political economy.
Il so, when speaking of results and
Consequences, what bearing has it
had, my child, upon out past and
present social system I? Now, EN-
NETT, who made Washington presi
dent of the United States ? The
surrender of CORVALLIS at TlentoA
What made Jefferson president : His
statemauship; the purchase of Lou
isiana; for example: Who made
jackson, PRESIDENT Paclianham
Who made Dick Taylor, president ?
St. Anna! Who made Gen. Houston
He, likewise, at his fall, at St Jacin
to-! Who made Grant, president
Jefferson Davis ! and his successor
Mr.. Hayes lie likewise! If any
one had raised yon to the highest
position in the Nation, would YOU
have treated him as he has been : No,
sir! Why 7 Simply, because ipgrati-
tude is never atonel for! What do
you think of Grant The prototype
Of. Caligula, nay of Nero! And of
Mr.. Hayes, . gentleman, ID every
sense, in every respect of tile word.
How is. that, & republican and a
gentleman ? After all "w|at is there
in a name since 4 rose under any
other name smells as SWEET Were
he to die, what would yon be willing
to perfurm iG his Eonor7 Rear him a
monument Without a penny, how
would you succeed Z / would
rattle oft my little pony, Sitting Bull,
for that purpose How long would
you have hil!r to reniaiti rs President?
His life fine Why SO? Good men
are S" scarce in our days, when found.
should .be kept in office! What of
Warmolh and Mr., Hayes The first
acted like strychuiue upon our social
system while the second as the good
Samaritan of our woes in other
words, just as strychnine is to candy.
Since JEFF Davis (th"ugh unwiIfuIIy)
did place Grant ;in power, and ais"
Mr.. Hayes, why is it that he has not
been tenleredan "tfice-if not an of.
fee, at least grant him the privilege
Of citizenship No doubt, but that
Mr.. Hayes, shall ia due course of
events do SO, for having shown ps so
mpch magnanimity, virtually ; he
will extend it also to our fallen hero
When done, what will you think of
him : As the great and good man ;
What about the confederate war 7
Well, pa, | sincerely believe that the
life of a Confederate soldier was &C
tually worth all the slaves in Amer,-
ca. That is fact my child, for
whenever passion coutr,|s Judgment,
it then becomes the child of ambition.
What did you hear your grand pa say
in that respect ? heard him TO
have said "belore the close of this
war, We shall he visited by the Fed
eral army, my home shall be pillaged,
rahsacked, nay more, the shell is
forecast that shall destroy my house
from tile top Of my head.D Did such
things accuri To the letter.! What
else did he predict ! .That Louis
lana would undergo the same treat.
