Advance Notes of Harper's Speech.

~ANVohSO 4NoVOS vi HARPER Op06Cu.
Col. Harper, of Illinois, who, the Green
hackers claim, in the ablest lawyer in that
State, is advertised to address the people in
this city tomorrow evening. 1t is not often
that the public newspaper is furnished with
advance sheets, as it were, of such soul-stir-
ring speech as Col. Harper says he is going to
give our citizens, nor is it usually customary for
so eminent man as Col. Harper's friends
have told him he is, to quote largely from his
carefully prepared and ably written speech so
long before the evening selected for the deliv-
cry of such remarkable production. But the
Colonels points will bear repetition. 1t was
because he knew that the effect of his argu-
ment would be greatly increased by rehearsal
that he consented to place at public disposal
the following clear and lucid bit of reasoning
in reference to the constitutionality of making
a promise legal tender.
One of our leading Greenbackers, not being
quite clear on this point, and innocently be-
lieying the report which had gone abroad of
the preeminent wisdom of this great lawyer,
addressed Col. Harper and asked if promise
to pay could be made legal tender. eyes,
says the Colonel, II will illustrate by quoting
from my speech. You take piece of paper
two inches wide and six inches long, just the
size of our greenback, print on one side The
United States promises to pay five dollars,
place on one end the picture of an Indian with
a tomahawk; on the other engrave, if you
please, the Lords prayer; on the back indite
the Sermon on the Mount, and at the foot i'll
scribe the innocent verse, Now lay me down
to Sleep, etc.; then let the Al, 900 900 people of
the United States in their sovereign capacity
rise to their feet and say I'VE are but forty-five
persons, SO to speak. Our will is law We,
the forty-fve people in the nation, in our SOW
ereign capacity, Individually and collectively
declare this piece of paper with these inscrip-
tions to be legal tender for five dollars, and
by - it is money"
The lawyer had spoken and departed to call
upon another friend. turned to see if the
doubts of our friend had fed and he remarked
Il have been asked that question great many
times, and now know how to answer it.
Harper is brilliant fellow
The above is literal reproduction of actual
statements made by men who pretend to be
martyrs to the peoples cause. Does not such
arrant nonsense require all the emphasis pro-
family can give it to make any impression upon
even the lowest classes of our society? Col
Harper talks without reason, common sense or
decency Yet such are the men whom the
Greenback party are summoning to this State
to instruct the people in the duties of cit-
zenship. LISTENER.

The Double Convention.

1t is reported the Democrats and Green
hackers are trying to arrange joint ticket.
The Democrats claim the Judge and Register
ofProbate, County Attorney and two Senators,
leaving to the Greenbackers the Treasurer,
Commissioner and two Senators. The Green
hackers want the County Attorney. The
temperance question enters into the controver-
sy, and may make trouble. Many of the
Gree nbackers are radical temperance men and
declare that they will not support prosecu-
ting officer who is not in sympathy with tho
Maine law. On the other hand, many Demo-
Gratis are equally positive in their resolution
not to support ramrod.
The delegates elected by the several ward
caucuses to attend the Democratic county con-
vention this week, met at their headquarters
Saturday evening and made choice of the
following delegates at large: Charles Nc
Carthy, Roswell M. Richardson, DR.. f. A.
