As was foresecn, all who were candi.
dates did not ret nominated at the Re-
publican Convention on Saturday last
We believe there is no possible ground
for any charge Of " bargain and sale or
anything Of the sorts We don't think
that any such charge will be made, at the
same time it IS to be expected THAT defeat
cd candidates and their friends viii feel
for time that their claims were not re-
ccgnizod as they s.ould have been. We
commend to such the perusal Of the fol-
lowing extract from a speech recently
made by Carl sehurtz, who was candi-
date for nomination for Governor Of Wis
consin, and was defeated. 1t contains
truths that should be remembered by all :
"But some people have been whisper,
ing into my ears, for few days: You
have been badly treated; professed friends
have deceived you when the heavy
work is to be done, they come to you:
when rewards are to be distributed, they
ignore your claims aud the like
But those who speak to me in that way
measure my character by very small
standard. Do they expect that my no
tons Of duty should break down uude
the himsy weight of some small persona
disappointment? Do they think that N,
course should be determined by the fckl
brcezes Of fortune? The great battle 0
principles in which we are engaged, is n
mere chiId's play. When the destinie
Of nation are the stake Of the struggle
no man has right to call himself faith
full soldier, who would refuse to sacriiic
for the public benefit some paltry person
al resentment. (Applause)
What, if had been unbecomlngl
treated individuals might have be
haved badly towards me, and yet tn
couse I advocate has not insultcd me.
viii give the party leave to trample upo
my feelings, provided they do not tramp!
upon my privileges. What if had nc
been rewarded? Those must have
small idea ofmc who think that what
did was done to shake ofreward. | loo
upon the Offices of our government not q
wages to be paid for services rendered
but as opportunities given for services t
be rendered. The party owes me moth
ing, aud owe the party inst as much q
owe our cause, provided the party b
a true and worthy representative of tina
cause. What if | had been deceived
| would pity those who had deceive
ne they may be sorry for it themselves
In saying this | do not express IN
own individual sentiments alone. | kno
there is not one true friend of liberty b,
fore me, who would not end rse thcr
} not with words only, but with acts.
, 1t is impossible to carry principles {
general policy into practice without tn
organization of parties whose eiFicienc
) consists in the discipline of their men
bcrs. Do not misunderstood me on tn
point. A party like that to which | b.
long, the representative of the gret
principles Of human rights, cannot, n
shall not, live on drill and dccipline alon,
, as its vital element. 1t cannot, and
l shall rot, be mere machinery Of maske
I dcspotism, governed in it's movement
b., few tricksters, and ruled by the ar
a. secrt.. diplomacy. 1t must be foundc
an the c,1nsclt"ccs Of those who coinpos
it for there a., re is It's moral vitality
la such party ever; me";;H@r may pr
serve his honor and lnIepende.'''
[Cheers.
OF course it cannot be expected IT,
even IN such party no disagreement,
should happen and no causes of dssatis
faction should arise. But when in sue
an emergency Your passions are about t
run away with your judgement, tkon n
member that IL one hour you may dostro
what it has cost long weary years to bull
up.
