Dennis kcarney as an Orator.

When a man unbridlcs his tongue and
gives vent 10 unmcasurcd dcnunciatiOn and
abuse he IS liable to suddenly acquire a
reputation for talent, merely because his
styic Of oratory Is novel and startling.
There Is reason TO believe such has been
the ease with Mr.. DENNIS KEARNEY. His
violent language could hardly fail to arrest
the attention Of the public. But when we
look for ideas in his speeches, they are not
to be- found lie talks, in vague and general
terms, and unintelligcntly, about evils for
which he proposes no definite remedy. lie
raves.
People may continue, for little while Ia
flock 10 hear Mr.. KEAKNEY. lie may draw
great crowds If he comes to this city. still
we think there must be II general feeling OF
disappointment in him. He simply proposes
to tear down without any project Of rebuild

Those who have sincerely at heart the
cause Of the lahoring man find it impossible
to see how it is to be- aided by the present
efforts Of Mr. DENNIS KEARNEY
