Show A RARE BABE SPEECH the discussion of the nebraska question is bringing out all tile the ability and wit of the country in speeches letters debates newspaper leaders and sermons the mind of the nation scintillates with unusual splendor the various displays of logic rhetoric ridicule and invective are marvelous and sometimes moving sometimes amusing arn using of the latter description is a lecture by the rev theodore parker him of boston fame recently delivered in the tabernacle at new york theodore is in vulgar parlance a brick and if there is is any man whig or democrat that pan can read the following satire on the two parties without infinite mirth we do not envy him his solidity money is pope in america it is king in america it is also the noble in america no na tian overgrow overgrew ever over grew rich so fast I 1 am thankful we have had a chance it furnishes the material basis whereon we shall I 1 doubt not erect a grand superstructure of higher qualities than were ever seen in america or elsewhere 4 in the american states money is the con ution the official men ought to be sworn on the federal currency and the dollar should bi be their official symbolic mark in the community money is the noble it is transmissible trans social power it is aristocrat aristocracy aristo crac y it makes a man into a vulgar gentleman mr famous born is the noble in european society but in america the hon dives snob american aristocracy is bottomed on a cent money is thought better than love none but bat the rich deserve the fair now money ins h as this power not by itself alone it leagues with old despot and so rates itself in this strong coition poi tion and wields the triple power of the old theocracy monarchy and aristocracy but bat I 1 have said it has one great check which is the passions of the majority and accordingly there are two great recognizable forces in this country one is is money and the other the majority each of these must of course have a party organized about a dollar as its nucleus and idea the dollar is the germina ger ninal dot of the whig party its motive is pecuniary it legis legislates legisla lattes teB for the rich and against tile the poor with it everything must yield to money and that to nothing the doller hat has a universal right of way tile the greatest man of the whig party for some years said the great object of government is the protection of property 7 money is the whig god the millionaire is the highest social product he is that which has come up to the measure of the standard of the perfect 5 2 whig man there must also be a party to represent the majority which holds money in check the majority of the people do not dif ter much from the few men that are rich only in this point the few have got rich the many have got the desire to become rich what is the odds thus there arises a democratic party which is organized about the majority this party represents the acquisitive instinct of the people to this party belong the young the poor the bold the judicious are its leaders men commonly destitute of any lofty character and any great idea not very careful I 1 of j justice ustice love or religion the party sneers at the rich as the whig party sneers at the poor the whig party cannot trust the people the democrat party cannot trust anybody else they know no law higher than the will of the majority the oth er none higher than money protestants worship the bible a collection of books the most excellent in the world written with ink in hebrew or greek 41 translated out of the original tongues with the former translations diligently revised and compared ordained to read in churches and to him it is the word of god so the whig worships money the democrat the majority to the whig party it is no matter how money is got by smuggling opium by selling rum by stealing slaves for money is god to the democrat party no matter what the majority votes it is best beat the democrat party may choose whom they please polk is as good as jackson when voted in and short pierce is as tall as jackson when in the presidential chair election makes all men equally tall if I 1 f the majority wants a violation of the constitution ution of the united states of a declaration of independence yea or the constitution of the conscience and the declaration of the most high god the answer is there is no higher law let us as do it PI I 1 there is no vital dif difference flarence between th those se two parties with respect to any moral principle the one has got the other wants to get so the one inaugurated inaugurates ates the thing got on the roaster master icicle and with the other the desire of the thing is its master principle in times which tries the passi passions on a which are the souls of parties then both coale coalesce see and both are on the same level one is but the continuation coelia of the other there is a hand rail between the two lean a little on it and both are mixed so that we cannot tell who is hard and who is soft in common times the same thing happens for the whig is only an old democrat and the democrat a young whig in mercantile phrase the democrat is a whig on time and the whig is a democrat arrived at maturity whose time is come accordingly many a man is a roaring democrat when young and poor who becomes a roaring whig when old and rich in boston I 1 knew men who in 1812 were most violent democrats the world would hardly hold them they went private ering against the oppression of england to take a sailor out of abbit ish ship in 1853 the same men were whigs saving the union and banding with slavery craft and 1 lines not a feather was changed it was only a whig on time who had bad arrived at maturity |
