The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1878-12-25

Senator Eaton. of Connecticut, staunch
democrat, and Senator Conkling are also
warm friends. In the house the genial ].
Proctor Knott and the radical VIM. L. frye,
of Maine are warmly attached TO each other.
Many other instances of this Damon and
Pythias, David and Jonathan arran cement
between men of different political faiths
might be mentioned.
An amusing incident occurred during the
course of Senator Lamar's speech. In some
reference which he made TO the supreme
court Blaine interrupted, and said hs didn't
suppose il would be any great shock TO that
body, but he differed from the court. La
mar replied that, on the contrary, he thought
the court would be greatly shocked, bat that
it would probably survive. .
On Tuesday Merrmon, of North Carolina;
Wallace, OF Pennsylvania; Whyte, OF Mary
land and Morgan, of Alabama, made speeches
In opposition to the Blaine resolution, re-
viewing the situation in the most exhaustive
manner. As all three men are lawyers by
profession, each holding the very highest
rank in his respective state, the forensic DIS
play was of the most brilliant order, and SO
enlIvsned by coruscations of wit and sa ire
as to resemble pyrotechnic pageant.
Wallace reviewed the manner in which
elections are carried in Pennsylvania by the
Cameron clan, and every word was like hot
shot in the enemys camp. His speech was
as forcihle as his countenauce, which warns
people to get out of the way of one VINO Will
walk over all OBS acles TO his object. Speaker
,ndall who had vacated the chair, got near
him and congratulated HIM and shook hands
with him at its close, which 1t is to be hoped
is an omen of returning good fellowship, as
iJ is said that the two are the leaders OF rival
factions In Pennsylvania politics The dem
ocracy can't afford to indulge in discussions.
While ia'tiOns are quarreliOg the enemy
carry the country.
Speaker Randall is a strikingly handsome
man, intellect and dignity sitting enthroned
on his broad brow and Tesolutely dwelling in
the firm mouth and chin, the latter clean
shaven, as is the entire face, which is rather
broad than long He wears specJscleS which
give i'm a scholarly appearance. HIS hair
aud eyes are dark The head is we'll poised
on a pair of broad shoulders, which illus
trate the general symmetry Of form. 10 APP
pearance he is an ideal presiding officer for
SO distinguished body of men, and should
be sorry to see any one less distingue in his
place.
Senator Morgan in his speech showed how
anxious southern people are for northern
iRmi grafton, and deprecated any sectional
agitation as especially hurtful to this inter
est. Indeed, northern emigration to the
south is the one factor which will ultimately
solve the problem of making US a homoge-
neous people, and now that there is practi-
must look southwark for cheap homes
as well as for trade, which is always
the most prosperous between people
of differing climates The second
era of our national development is upon us
The westward march of empire is already
accomplished We must look southwark,
not only to the southern states but beyond
10 South America and Mexico, at least for
our trade. We must build north and south
lines OF railroads, and especially Deepen and
improve that great artery OF commercial
prosperity for the northwest, the Mississippi
River, aud remember that what promotes the
prosperity Of Que section advances the inter-
esLs of al, as all are interiependsnt, the
manufactured goods OF New England finding
more ready sale In the west and south, If
the west and south have improved and
cheap means OF transportation for their crops,
thus leaving them margin to spend. This
year pie nJiful harvest in TIE west lies in
the granaries unsold because deficiency Of
markets renders prices so low that there is
no margin left after paying high raies OF
transportation to the ssaoord.
But TO return TO Morgan's speech. The
color line, he SAID, is more closely drawn in
New England and in the north generally than
in the south. Colored delegates are not sent
TO congress to represent northern constituent
CT s. and in Alabama no northern emigrants
will settle In what is known as tue "bIack
belt" l. e., those counties where the negroes
are In the ascsndency, aud no wonder,
might add, as they would have their toll for
their pains, il they titled the soil or raised
stock in negro communities. They would
labor that the darEies might reap, as they
think it no sin 10 steal from a white man.
Last winter, when in Texas, | found that
In some of the eastern counties where ne
groes are in the ascendency. the whites were
deserving their farms FROM this cause, and
good improved farms could be bought there
Tor less money than wild lands further west,
and still no purchasers could be found, al
though the immigration TO other parcs Of the
state was immense. This state of affairs,
aud not persecution, suggested by
Mr.. Blaine is the secret Of the
lack Of immigration In the older
southern states. Northern people do not
like to go into communities where there is
large element of ignorant and vicious people,
rendering life and property insecure. This
objection will have less force with each sue
ceeding generation, As the southern people
are waking to the necessity of educating the
blacks. ana are every where founding schools
for them.
The southern people need the infusion OF
new life from the vigorous north ansapped
by the facilitating effects OF climate &C ng
through generations, the enervating
effects of slaveey furnishing no Incentive TO
exertion, but encouraging inertia; and they
velop their wonderful resources All north
ern men who are not actual frebrands are
welcomed there. and only by encouraging
such emigration can republicans hope ever
TO regain their ascendency in the
south. A prominent republican from
the south said to me, the other day,
that IL was that party's own fault
that IL had lost Its hold on that section. 1t
was because 1t had sent so many unscrupu-
LOGS men there, only bent upon plumber,
VINO never really identified themselves with
the interests Of the country in any way. and
consequently were considered aliens by the
people there. All decent republicans are
welcomed and we'll treated.
Senator Morgan is q type OF the refined
southern gentleman, has clear out face,
surmounted by iron gray hair. and an ele-
CANT, 1.-the figure. He is a man of wide cul-
ture and quiet sensibilities, an ardent friend
and a staunch enemy.
