there was weaker power in question, the result
was very different. quarrel was provoked on
purpose, and the weaker power was compelled to
give up peaceably or by force. Where the An

there may he be found. When he conouers a
civilized country he causes the price of land to he
lowered, and when he conquers barbarous
country the value ofland is raised America and
tlndostan are examples. In the one it has been
raised-in the other deprecated.
In India, the Anglo-SaXon has exterminated
the industry OF the natives, and substituted his
own. The Anglo-Saxon race is very powerful.
1t numbers some fifty millions. How different
from the Spanish race, which is everywhere weak.
Inc Anglo-Saxon is powerful-not in a military
sense, though he fights hard, but in CONNER
cal and political sense. The dollar is the SYM

God, but he does not go for higher law. He
differs from the German in this. The great

people, 1t is true that every sixteenth man is
pauper, and the peasant and mechanic are the
worst fed in the world The aristocracy engross
the wealth to themselves, because there is no
great idea running through British institutions.
LOOK at the misery and wretchedness of St. Giles,
in the very midst of profuson of accumulated
wealth. The Duke of Sutherland, with one
stroke of his pen, exterminates the inhabitants
Of whole district of country, and when the
peasantry refuse to 60 he sets fire to their houses
This Is permitted and sanctioned by the laws of
England, which sends out missionaries to the
ENDS OF the earth to preach the gospel-such is
the contradiction. The contradiction is still
greater in the United States, where not every
sixteenth man, but every sixth man, is SO poor
that he has no right to his labor or liberty and
the woman has no right to her chastity. Fifteen

This day one hundred and twenty one years ago
a great man was born, who led successful reyo
lution-that was George Washington ZAP

merits and his greatest feat in that respect was
his retreat from Long Island. But he established
the great principle that virtue is supreme APP

but two great races in the world-the Sclayonic
and the Teutonic; and the English and Amer lean
people are undoubtedly the greatest sections of
the Teutonic. Thank God we are not military,
people, We have eleven thousand soldiers in
our standing army, but who ever sees one of
them! (Laughter.l If they should all desert
tomorrow morning, and 60 to California, it
would not have the slightest effect on the price of
stocks. If the cholera, or some other plague,
should carry off the army of Russia, what would
become of the government? The United States
government reposed rather on the ballot box
han the cartridge-box. The day was not dis

hey would hear of the Speaker calling the hon

operations OF commerce.
