Ignorant iSunrage

Hon. j. NJ. l.. Currcy, the general
agent of the Peabody education fund,
IN recent address said, in reference to
ignorant suffrage:
Through demagogues, bosses, cor
rupt schemers, vote, the symbol OF
freedom, becomes the instrument of
caprice. or revenge, or bribery. The
ballot-box ceases to be the registry OF
intelligent convictions or unselfsh pa
triotism. General corruption will
spread itself through all degre in the
State-Justice will he sold to the trbu
nails ; separation Of the departments d
government will cease, each prostituted
10 the low purpose of personal revenge
or partisan success: voters, making
money Of their liberty, will transfer
their loyalty to where it will turn to
most advantage, and offices will become
spoils for the adventurous and the I'M
worthy"
