The most amusiog speech wo htve
read in a long time was matde by
Governor Vince a few days ago :t
Statesville, N. 0 Road the followlug
extracts, and laugh :
One follow will tell you that bb ih
an old W-h i-g, and dont likd the
Democrats and Secepsionists ; that
they brought on the war and air res
ponsiblo for all the ruin of the coun
try, and therefore they think they
had bettdr go over. [ttaughter.]
Now, I have this to say about that.
In the fir.st place theee Secessioniste,
alouc, were not respoisible for the
war. The northern Abolitionists had,
in my opiuion, more to do in bringing
on the war than anybody else, But
suppose the Democr.ts word to blame
for it, how does that effect the ques.
tion I What excuse does that give
fir lending your influence to a part)
that is robbing the country- of the
little the war left it I Suppose I was
ft bemrocrat at the beginning of the
war (which I never Was), or a Seces
sionist (which I never have been), or
that I helped to briag on the war
(whith I never did), is that any rea
son why you should take to stealing ?
[taughter.] Suppose a neighbor
slould cateb yod robbing his hen-roost
do you think it would be a good ex
ouse to say, Why, I wouldn't have
stolen these if Vance hadn't brought
on t6is war ? [More Laughter.]
'Now, I want to tell you some of
the symptomsof a fellow when lie be
gins to turn over. He first begins to
talk &bout ieing "indepandent."
[Laughter.] lie is not tied down to
