This is all they can eay, und the howl is continu- ally heard, Diving into every apeclos of legls- Intion, thoy are chagrined toilnd that MMayes dido't mako a record vulnerable to constant at- tack; and, as & consequence, they deuounce lim ss o wnonentity., Bo far os the Con- greasional carcer of Mr. Hayes is concerned, it I8 {dentical with thut of men of all political partics, no matter how great thelr abllity o commanding thelr talents, CONORESS 18 A 8CHOOL, in which the Proparatory student. docs not take off the prizes belonging to the Sonlor class, No matter bow great the natural and acquired attalnments of a mon may be, hie can never as- sumo successful leadership in the House untll bis othor qualities are supplemented by a thor . ough Parliamentary training, Men inlinitely beneath the novice fn all mental attributes will givo him the snub complete ou the floor of the House. It thus happens that Mr. llayces never had the opportunity, during his limited carcer, to maka a place of ‘Drominence for him- acif, Tu this ho but FOLLOWKD THE UNIVERSAL RULE, Tho “Great Communer,” Thaddeus Btevens,— a man whoso legislative character Is at the helght of fame, and who Impresced his poiitical Ideas and fecliugs upon almoat every fmportant’ measure brouglit to completion—~made buta slight figure during his Congressfonal {nfaucy. 8o with the most commanding and experienced Parliumengury Genergl of the present perlod, Jumes G, Blatne; there was paught of evidencs fn carlier deys to warrant a judgment In fayor ol his recently-displuyed ex- alted abilltles, Every wman who enjoys a Congressfonul Ifc must ho content to aecept tgmporary chseurity, and RESIUN IMMEDIATE PAMA TO OTHERS, even though they be less worthy, and fu per- soual intellect fiferlor, ‘this ha been the unl- versat rule, rarely invaded, and with but_one shinlng contradiction to fts Infaliibllity, Dura hy: the troublous perlud prior to the Ordinances of Becesslon, the ovenly-balanced politieal atrength In the House of Representutives gave achauce for the sudden development of the gifted attalnments of Honry Winter Duvis, It yas only a metcorie ahot, liowever; for, when the excltement dlud sway, thero were fullersuns displuyed, und the legialation of that era became their handiworls, ~ Evon should the bril- Hant. editor of the Courler~Journul enter the House, he will find & place of obscurlty on some (?:'.52’“: cu“&"l‘x‘l“fe’ where hlu‘1 lnlu;;ul will _he cd, and 8 temnper soured af ""‘,’"{‘{“fll”"h np t tho Inequality ut, whilo Mr. Hayea was in the Hot did make & record, uu{l H ey e AN INVALUADLY ONE 700, Asanew member, nssigned toduty ona Commit- teeof littlsnational smmlncncn, lie exerted bim- solf for the right, and gave a conslstent support tolls old conirades in arma.

"Ihis exceeding desiro to eremate the Repub- can lviny on nceount of the waut of a record In Mr, Huyus, led your correspoudent {uto an ex- aniinat{on of some of those who haye sceured a #record,”” And tho result fs a little astound- ing, purticularly as the Iusinuation was abroad that all the existing virtue fs resident In the Democratle party, Golog to the top of the ladder, of Indlan: 3R, HENDRICKS, nomines for the "lco-l’relldenc{, was selected, It secms to me that this recori- business is somewhat Hke Mr. \\'efl;'n maneuvres to grind Mr. Boftln's uose. Tilden hasn't any recod worthy of mentioy, except that which cotnes in the "‘““f""?’ of the' least sald about the better; and tha ‘lmmt statesman of the Yany has meuandered luto ways question. sble ot least~in & Republican. By the recordy Mr. Hendrlcks i proved to have been a salasy- glbber, which {s & liclnous sin accurding emocratie doctrine. But the principal crime at which Democracy now turns pale is ‘ITHR PROFLIGATE WASTA OF FUBLIC LANDS, and their diversion from sctual scttlers hy thio pnty in power” This comea from the * lc- orm" crced. IHow uphappy 1t must make them fecl to know that this “profiigate waste was consummated, by and with the ndvice and consent of ° thelr nomineo for the ency. Vice-Preside: This Is & kind of an offset to the reckless assaults upon the Hon, Willlam A, Wheeler. But this snino record will verify tho aagertion nnd here I8 the proof: Durlng the last Congress, onaof the most scvere Parllamentary contests of modern daya was occasioncd by the attempt to extend the time in which the Bayfleld & 8t. Croix Jand- grant could be secured. It will, therefore, sur- rise the Innocent yoter to know that Mr. Tendricks, in 1804, just after Lis clectton to the United States Benate, waa ONE OP ITB MOST UROENT SUPPORTERS, Snld he: * Minnesota asks this grant. I say, let her havs ft; and, if possible, let this road bo coustructed,” ' It was designated “a falr messure,” and ono_mecting his n{)lpmbntlon. Indeed, hio was so anxious o secure {his grant— Wisconsin Senators opposed {t—that he dc- clared: “If the Senator from Wisconsin wishes to enlarge tho an'. to the State of Wisconsin to the limite which we give to the State of Minnesota in this bill, let usdo it 41 ASt WILLING TO DO IT," Rather prodigal with the public domsin! And Mr, Hendricks even proposed an amendment carrylng out thia scheme, ‘When the Pacliic Railroad bill was under dis- cursion in the aame year, Mr., Hendricks .ald: ‘“The Hannibal & St. Joscph Road {s a road that wag conatriicted In part by the Government of the United Btates, Aaa memberof the Iouse of Hepresentatives, a number of years aqo, I felt it to be my duty to vota In favor of » land-grant to enable tho Btate of Missourd to bulld that very important road.” Bo he was one of the anclent and consistent members of the Iand-grantiats, But wonders never cease. That huge swin- dle, according to Democratle resolutious, THD NORTHENN PACIPIO GRANT,— a8 big as I don't know how many Htates,—thus recelved notice from Mr. Hendricks, The bill before the Sensle proposes to encourage _the conatenctlon of & very important rallroad to connect the waters of ke Buperlor with the waters of the Pacific Ocean, Everybody can eee at aglance that it {s s work of natfonal fmportance. It proposes to grant Janda in_a northern latitude, where, without the constraction of a work like that, the lands are comparatively without valne to the Government, No person neguainted with the condition of that scction of the country supposes {hat thora can bu very extensive setticmients until the Government © shiall encournge those act- tlements bf tho construction of some work like this, 1o not think that n work of auch ua- tlonal importance nu&mo be embarrassed in its passage through thia body, and through the Housa of Representatlyes, by amendments propostug workn that are comparatively local. No Republican ever gave the Northern Pacific Road a better indorsement. Tt might be stated hero that it was upon the motlon'ot Mr, Ien- dricks that THE FORT SMITIT (ARKANRAR) QRANT was made 1n 18605 and 1t 1s this Bl which has oceastoned o little trouble with the Indlans in the adjncent territory. Coming back to a discussfon of the Northern Tacitie, in 1658 Mr, Hendricks bad this to say: Novw, sir, this Is o great work, If it can bo ac- complished with™ the oid of thio Jand-grant, It i one of the grealest achlovements this country hes evor contemplated. . . . But all that ia pro- posed to thls roud ia to givo it lands that are to-day not worth one cent por ucto to the Government. "fhers {8 not & Senntor here who would give fur that vast rogiou of country, unalded by same work of thl forL, ono cent por acre, Bepatora forget what it I3 that gives valud to the public landa, JOW WOULD,TUIS LOOK in the 8t, Louls platform . When ths Central Branch of ths Union Pa- clfic came Into the Benate, In 1808, with a elcar ab at the Tressury amountiug to soversl mill- fons, abd when Senator Edugnds, of Vertnont, plethired the “ poor old thing '—the Treasury— o paraiyzed, Mr, Hendricks was azain with the rab-party. Sald he: “Ifnd tlnt, fn 184, Jongress sald to this Atchison Road: struct your hundred milos; you shall have your subsidy.’ . . . Unlesa I hear some reason that slinll disturb my fludqmuut thus formed, I expect to vole for the bill.* These are only examples I hinve given, and it can be positively stated that there Is Lardly an Instance whers 'a grant wns proposed, during M. Hendrlcks' Bonatorial carcer, that falled to TECEIVE HIS POWERFUL BUPPORT. This Is the more waryelous bociuse he had for- merly been Commissioner of the Land-Ofilee, nnd must have ind o keen appreciation of our land-polley. OI coures ke lud, when he de- clared that #'Thu great bady of the laml in New Mexico Is n:ul‘llv not wortl going to look after,” As Mr, Hendricks has recontly stated that he and Gov. Tildenonly differon tuimaterial points and that thoy are in the maln in one agrord, | becamies o curlous study to dive fito Mr. I1.'s record. This curlosity I8 somewhal increased by tho contlicting atatemonts relative to Mr. l{cnurfl-ka‘ finuuclal opinions, To parily un- ravel thiv mystery, here are aomo extracls from his last speech In the Senate on the financial ueation, Tho bill under cousideration was en- tltled o bill 00 STRENGTIEN TOE PUDLIC CREDIT," and was passed by the Republicau Houso in consequenca of the popular demand, and in ac- cordanee with the promise made by the Repub- llean Conventlon, ~ Mr, Hendricks thus spoke: Mr, Prsidont, 1donot designto voto for tha firat section of thin blll.

Can Mr, Tilden be fu uccord with thse viows! During the early daya of the same sesslon, Mr, Hendricks Introduced u resolutlon declaring that, * Where the obllgations of the Govern- went do not expreasly state upon their face, or tho laws under which they were Issucd does not provide, that they shall ‘be pald in coin, they ought, n right and justice, to be puld {n tho lawtul money of the United Btates.! Mr, Hendrlcks evidently {sn't sound on the currency question, aud no amouut of palavering will make himn appear so. NEMON, REFORM, TO TII® DEMOCKACY OF ILLINOIS, FrLrow-Crrizene: Tho responsibility of this lour welghs gravely upon my mind, us Tam sbout to step to tho front and offer my services 88 a candidate for the Governarship of the peo- pleof Illinots. If the Democracy redecm the Btate from radical rule and misrule, our Lest citlzens linve to come to the rescuc; and it ls this conviction which makes {6 my imperative duty to now offer to place mysel! at the head of aflaira, Our best cltizens must now devote thelr time and money to the cause of reform. The great Reforiner, Tilden, has placed himself at the head of the Natfoual ticket, and in dolng s0 expended $700,000 st tho 5t Louls Couvention. at one dash, This proves that the gritty little stateswan fa fn dendly carnct in tho cause of reform. Judas Amuld Benedict s no less patriotic than the great Tilden. If it {s nceessary for him to ex- pend $1,000,000 in our Convention in order to purge the minds of our delegates of any uadus feeling they may entertatu for other Guberna- torial candidates, and to conviuce them of bis supremo Btness for the place, be will respond promptly, Moncy should never be used forcor- rupt purposes in & polltical convention, hut when it {s necessary to instruct through that agency the minds of delegates Into o lne of ac- tion which will conduce to the public good and s0lld reform, then to withbold {t is not pat~ riotic, This was the bigh and holy purposo which inspired the great Reformer, Tliden, to come down'so hiandsomely at 8t. Louls. In this respect 1 am his equali and it ehows forth clearly that wn consider Jeeform more dear to our hearta than we do our money. Greater ain- cerity than this could not e detnanded in any calise, The Convention will aid Tilden lff nom{nat- ing me for the Gubernatoria) candidate, Like him, 1 am willing to vindicats my right to and fitnees for the place with my money. Cullom, ;wor paralmonjous Cullom, never pald o nickel or the Republican nomination. Ie's apretty looking patriot to talk ahout running for the Qovernorship of 8,000,000 peopte, when he lan't willlng to pay a cent in the great cause of Ro- form, "It will causa Grantand his leadera to tremblo with fear whenthey learn that the great leaders of the Democracy are wml?éflowu with thelr millious In the cause of Reform, and Hayes and Wheeler will be struck dumb when they see wa are lo dead edrnest about routing the Republican party; ani the blugh of ahame will mount Hayes' chieck when he learns that we paid our. bar'ls of money in the good cause, whilst ho just ancaked n{v and accepted the liepubllun nomiuation without paying a cent, Reform is the fssuc of the hour. My time and money ars at the service of the glorious cause. The grand old Democrncy cun safely support me, as I have ever stood by it In its dark- cat hours., Like Tilden, 1 was n member otithe Commnittee on Resolutions in the Chieago Con- vention of 1864, when the glorfous and Immortal 8““ Intform was given to the country. I in- orsed this noble paper as sincerely as” Tilden, and like him I also crippled the Government of the Abolitionists and Radlcals by withholding the taxcs,—the unholy and unjust taxcs,~on the wlisky which my laboratory ‘manufactured shortly after the War. It is also satd that Tilden waa concerned in rallroad matters. I also crip- rlexl several of thesa hicartless monopollcs which iad been bleeding the farmers by withholdiny from thom several millions of dollars of thelr funds, and had this gotten back into thelr hands they would have utterly crushed out the farmers; 8o Lwill be extrewely popular now with this class of votera, ¥ Reform {s the watchword. For I}’cnrs past T have alded to cripple the Radical Administration and the railroads with a view toforce the people to oust that wretched party from power; and now since that noble cotiso—Reform—Nhas be- come the issuc of the hour, am entitlet to be placed forward {n the counsels of tho purty. Some are shouting for Allen, of Egypt, for Governor. Allen stood nobly by the 'F.my in its hour of trouble, and, 1tke the noble Tilden, proposed to open a flre In the rear of the miserable Unlon soldiors: but as he is not u man of any force of intetlect, he could mmke wo lendway agulnst the brilllant, 1ura|monlnun Ctillom, ~ 8cine want to run Kocrner for the Governorehip; but wheu he ran ngainst Oleshy ho mads & clumay race of it and on the day of the battle he Jeft the field with his leg in his hand, the Radical sliot havin, shivered it ; besides, Koemer's record is wretehe —he epposed the Dewovracy in the Warj nu- other objection, Koeruer Is & German, TReform—~that glorious cuuse—is golng forward nobly in the South. The brave South Caoro. lintans, fn_accordauce with the lato spirit of “he Lower House of Congrees when it proposed to exclude the negrues from mlmnrg Aervic al Hambury acted wisely and well in killing of the negro milltis; and” fu Kontucky and Mis- sour] and elsewhbere our Confederate " friunds in dlApln{lng the Confederate flag indleate Lhat at heurt thicy are yet true Democrats, True Roforin meaus Democrrey, and it cau only flourish uni- versally when that pb:rty Is restored to power.

There can be no peace and prosperity there while the negro s permitted to vote and ald in framing the Jaws, jnstead of attendiog to the dleld-lnbor.
