Edward Everett ON the Horse,

AT SPRINGFIELD, MASS, eEPrEMBER II, 1893.
Sir. it is perplexing. it is almost painful,
to consider what high degrees of intellect
and moral power are evinced by animals
whom we profanely call brute beasts. |
suppose it was o reflection of these noble
qualities Of the horse, intellectual and NOR
al, that led the wittiest, the bitterest, and |
am sorry to say, the filthiest of the satirists
OF our language-I mean Dean Swift-in
that remarkable romance of his, the most
fascinating as well as the most revolving OF
books, TO represent the horse under that I'M
pronounceable name which he gives him, as
the wiser, the most sagacious, the nobler
animal, and TO describe the human race IN
der the dis yusting character of the Yahoo,
rs an inferior order of beings don t know,
sir, but you will think it beneath the dign-
tv of the occasion to allude to such book
rs "Gulliver's Travels" and vet it does con-
tain, among many most instructive remarks,
enc Of those passages in which the wisdom
of ages is condensed in single sentence and
which is more often quoted, at least part Of
it., at all agricultural and rural shows than,
perhaps, any other in the whole campass Of
literature. 1.-The man" says CULVER, "who
can make two ears of corn or two blades Of
grass to grow on the spot where only one
grew before, would deserve better of man
kind, and render more essential service TO
the country, than the whole race OF politi-
clans put together" Laughter and az
plause When this is quoted at agricultu
raj meetings by patriotic candidates for Of
flee. this last part Of the sentence is usually
omitted. Renewed laughter. The noble
qualities OF the horse seem, indeed, to have
made an impression upon the most brutal
lied of our own species. suppose it is this,
if it were worth while to attempt to account
for the freaks Of a mailman, which led the
Emperor Caligula to erect marble stable
for his horse lncitatus, to provide him with
an ivory manger, with housings of imperial
purple; breastplate studded with diamonds
and pearls, and then to elevate him to the
dignity Of the consulship This seems to be
sure a mere freak of madDess, and vet am
inclined to think that at the time it was a
better choice than could have been made
out of the venal courtiers and factious pr,e-
torians f the imperial court, and l believe,
cir, had 1t be en- put to the vote throughout
the Roman Empire, then co-extensive with
the civilized wOild, they had better con-
sul in the horse than the Emperor. Laugh
ter and applause. Sir, they had been too
familiar with the rapacity of the tyrants
who chased each other over the stage, dag
ger in hand, not to be pleased with a ruler
who took nothing but oats from the public
crib-[laughter Ia ruler sir, who, while
the reins were with him, would at least
have given them stable Administrations
Renewed laughter.

1t has been again and again charged
BY the democratic press that the prin-
ciples advocated by the Republican
party, would if carried out lead to in
clude the doctrine Of the equality of
the white and black races-or in other
words, that the leaders of the party
were in favor Of negro equality, al
though they did not As yet dare to pro-
claim it openly.
This assertion as often as made has
been denied by the republican press
but actions speak louder than words
by what they do, not, what they say,
shall they be judged.
At the time of the submission of the
new Constitution to tho people, it will
be remembered that.the question of adj
vancing the negroes to political equal
ity with the whites arose on the pro-
vision submitting separately the propo-
sition to strike out the word "white,"
of = certain clause Of the Constitution.
Many republican journals and orators
asserted that the striking out Of the
word " white" which would have ad-
United negroes without restriction to
the right of suffrage, was not party
measure and that all republicans were
left free to vote upon it as they choose;
others were entirely silent upon the
subject and Others still claimed that it
wss-strictly a Iparty measure, aud
that every true republican would vote
to "strike ont the word white" and
admit the negroes to political equality
with the whites. At this point it may
not be entirely impairment to remark
that ne democratic journal left the
members Of it, party perfectly free to
vote upon it ~ they choose,-no dem
ocratic paper was silent upon the sub
ject; no democratic paper. claimed it
~ party measure but one and all
opposed it most strenuoualy, and aver
red that no decent white man could
vote for It.
Amongthose prominent republicans,

The Gazette, the organ ofthe. waning
Thorington clique thinking that it has
at last got Mr.. Leffingwell in IA corner,
and now has an offset to the difficult
ties in which Mr.. Surveyor Vandever
has involved himself, triumpha ntly
quotes an article from the Dubuque
Times, and enquiries how Mr.. Letting
we'll, regarding the English Bill as a
.fnolity, can vote for the admission Of
kasnas before she shall have a popula-
ton of $4,000.
We really regret Mr.. Gazette to de-
stroy al Of the satisfaction and happy
self congratulation which you undobt-
cdly enjoy in supposing that You have
propounded \" stumper" for Mr.. LEI
fingwcll; but the question is very east
ly answered and the position of Mr..
Lefingwell very readily reconciled.
He, in common with the Democrat,
which all will admit has been a staunch
supporter of the Administration, re-
CARDS the English Bill as )" fnality'
so far as the question under the Le-
compton Constitution is concerned,
and no further, and he will claim upon
the floor of Congress tor he will be
elected) as the Democrat is prepared
to do through its columns, that the
Territory Of Kansas shall be admitted
under the first Constitution, properly
terminating from the people and re-
publican in form, which shall be pre-
sented to Congress.
We regard the English Bill as If
nality !" but shall nevertheless claim
for her the same rights under free
Constitution as one. providing for the
institution Of Slavery
Any other course with reference to
the Territory would be wrong and
an outrage and would find no more
bitter opponents than Mr.. Lcffingwell
and the State Democrat.

THE NEWS.

The Buffalo Courier says the Inter-
national Bridge will now surely be
built, a. the Company ask Buffalo no
further guarantee than that Of $50, 900,
to make up the deficiency Of the an
nual interest, at six per cent. on two
and . quarter millions. The tubular
bridge Of Mr.. Ross is to be construct
ed. That gentleman offers to raise the
money in London upon the assurance
given by the railway contracts for an
annual rent Of 100000, and the city's
guarantee to make good any de6cien-
cv in the revenue Of the bridge to in
crease that sum to $l5O,OOO. The
city takes NO risk on account of the
railway companies. On the other
hand, it has all the benefit to be deri-
we'd from the carriage way and foot
travel, and from any new contract that
may be made with the Great Western,
or with any other than the Niagara
and Detroit Rivers, and the Buffalo
and Lake Huron Railway Companies,
while the revenue ACQUIRING from these
sources may diminish the city's liability
below $4,000, and possibly cancel it
altogether.

which had taken the neutral "tack"

ture he says:

question Of extending the right Of suf
frage to black citizens as we'll as white
arc "timid men" who "whiIe they may
be very good politicians, are very poor
republicans." Yet this man who is in
favor Of letting himself down to the
level Of an equality Of the negroes, has
been lauded to the skies by the repub
lican press Of the State as thoroughly
sound republican and now he has
been rewarded for his great labors in
the cause Of negro equality.
While they, or portion Of them,
pretended to disagree with his senti.

acts giving the lie to their words and
practically endorsing his sentiments
upon the "nigger question" as well as
all others. But because the wire pull

party have endorsed him by giving
him the nomination, is no reason why
the people should endorse him at the
ballot box.
