bothers Councilman Cotton and his col

great that it was decided TO wait until

Rev. C. G. Torrey, who has been sup

following to the Boston journal:
Apropos of the Borden case, permit
me to give an instance OF circumstantial
evidence from my own experience.
In 1858, l being a missionary among the
Cherokee Indians, a half breed Cherokee,
George Sanders, borrowed one of my
horses to 90 to store near the Arkansas
line, on condition that he would get him
shod. The horse, when he took him had

Sanders. Sure enough, we found the

Democracy Dissected by ssTom'' Reed.

The Democracy are never on the defensive.
They have done nothing in this generation
to defend. [Applause.l If you defend a
fort, it is because you have built it, or at
least captured it. If you defend an action,
it is because you have done it, or at least APP
prove of it. If you defend principle, it is
because you believe in it Now it so happens
that no Democratic leader ever wearies his
audience by catalogue of the achievements
of his party in this generation. [Applause.]
He never undertakes to tire them by saying
what they have done. 1t is true that in
moments of great excitement they some
times think that they elected Abraham Lin
coin, fought the war and emancipated the
slaves but they never undertake to say that
they approved of anything Lincoln did, or
the way the war was conducted, or the
fashion in which we gave the negro his free
dom. They sometimes indulge also in state
ments of what they are going to do. But,
you ever noticed, they never do them.
