Show THAT OLD OLD SONG there la Is a question before the house and it does doea not require the testimony of an expert or the opinion of one deeply versed in the philosophy ot of human nature to answer it it I 1 la a this I 1 la oot not the man who persistently refuses to recognize candor bandor in others who puts a false motive behind every public act of others and who labors with the language to create perversion and misconstruction of another an others ts words unless such things happen to be lor his own or his friends benefit himself deficient in candor lacking in honesty and a verbal con whose utterances it if not those of a knave are so very much like them as to be taken by fair minded people the answer is yes yea in each and every case and the answer is irre frag fr ably solidly and ebern oter nily illy right no matter what occurs in this cow con of public or of private interest it if there shall be the slightest opportunity to give it a political or religious cast out ot of which capital for a ce tain clique of croakers can be wrought that thing is ia done every time and when not overhauled early enough it la is harped burped on distorted drawn out and every

contempt according to the gentry spoken of every democrat has a drooping lower jaw and the party feels itself immersed imme raed deeply in despair while the church people are utterly bewildered perhaps the democrats do feel a little annoyed not to say may embarrassed over the man they trusted ho i ored and relied on vacating his post without giving the slightest warning almost any party 9 great reat or small amod would feel that way and we are quite willing to admit that we the church people feel in common with other t spaying public spirited citizens a certain measure ot of chagrin
