Tuscarora Correspondence.

W Hhu some citie 10 The present depreS-
sion OF business. The cause is undOubt-
edly national problem which would not
appear to be OF easy solution. as pOliti.
tians differ so much about it i'm theii
sentiments and opinions, that person
who is not much of politician finds it
hard TO attach the c,use TO any one
thing In particular, as there is not any
one thing OF suficient'weight or import
ance to attract the attention and hold it
fast as needle to the pole. But in the
midst of such contrarety and confusion
of opinions, ir would be weakness to des-
pair, as Providence has condescended to
drop on CALIFORNIA; soil a great politician
MIR, Kearney-who solves without any
difficulty the political problem.
do not know much about this new
conner, but it would appear that there is
something extraordinary. something ce-
lestial, and something constellationary
about his political speeches which L 10
not recollect OF ever seeing among the
speeches of our greytest statesmen, but
they were mOrtals and had the misfor-
tune of not receiving All illumination
from the Square of Pegasus. Before 60
Ing to bed last nigh; took peep at the
heavens to satisfy my mind that the
Square of Pegasus did not actually drop
to the earth, but found him in his
wOnted place, at this time of the year a
little above the eastern horizon, about 9
o'clock p. NJ; so that the verltable Mr.
Kearney must be a suppositious child of
the actual Pegasus.
see from the papers that Mr.. Kearney
came To the state OF Massachusetts to EN-
tighten the heathcns ami 'lecherous''
capitalists of that benighted country on
good government. did not observe how
he came thither; whether by the cars or
on his flying horse. Be TINT us it may,
it is very true that the atmosphere on
this side of the Rocky mountains did not
change his sentiments. His speech in
Boston was "lechcrous" with foul-mouth-
ed epithets. Bankers. landholders, rail-
way st ,ckholders and capitalists shared
alike his vulgar abuse. The press and
associated press received his respectful
attention; and the two great political
parties, according to his peculiar ideas
possessed low standard of morality.
As laboring men, it is incumbent upon
us to examine carefully into the political
opinion of any person that would pre-.
sumo to instruct or guide us, for feal
that We might swallow ideas which
might haze mischevious tendency OF
effect upon our happiness and well being
Let us ask ourselves rs reasonable mel
what policy is contained in Mr.. Kear
ney's speec.i which III any m1nner tend
to better our condition. We fiud instead
OF wise and judicious me ,sures he trie.
to amuse us by such epithets rs 'l"prOu:
thieves" "lecherous bOndhoidcrc," anC
ssne.i b.ood-suckers of labor" instead O
sound and judicious policy, he propose.
to use the upsetiing OF social inst tuition:
which the wisdom of a century has es.ab.
lishcd. and instead of telling us the i'm
measurable benefits conferred OH labor by
bankers, landholders, railway stOckhold
ers. and capitalists, he inveighs agains
them and hands us the torch aId TIA,

fully understand it haye not the leas

spurious son of Pegasus, who knows a:

no doubt that Numbering speech by
