Carl Schurz at Boston.
The Boston Joarnal Of Tuesday contains
in full the speech Of CARL ScHuRz, made al
the reception given to him in Faneuil Hall on
on Monday evening. It says: "The recep.
ton Of this distinguished gentleman from
Wisconsin, last evening, must have been gra'
tifying to himself as it certainly was to his
friends. Faneuil Hall was nearly filed with
an intelligent and enthusiastic audience. Sen.
ator WILSON, ON taking the chair was greeted
with q hearty demonstration Of applause
which was frequently renewed in the course
of his brief remarks. OfMr. SEIZURES speech
our readers will judge for themselves. They
will find it able, readable and appropriate. II
was spoken with great force and earnestness,
amid the admiring attention of his auditors.
We commend it to the attention of all"
The report of the proceedings opens by
stating that "The ovation extended to Hon.
CARL SEIZURE, the eloquent and able Repub-
ican orator of Wisconsin, at Faneuil Hall,
last evening, was an occasion of eminent and
complete success The attendance was large
and enthusiastic-the speeches able and in
teresting to an unusual degree"
We wish our space would permit US to give
the speech in full, but it will not We give
the conclusion of it, wherein will be found an
indication of its whole character, and album
dant evidence that it was worthy the man,
the occasion, and the State he represented:
Sir, am coming to the close ofmy remarks.
But cannot refrain from alluding to cir
cumstance which concerns myself l under
stand it has been said that in saying few
words on the principles Of Jefferson Democ-
racy a few evenings since, had attempted to
interfere with the home affairs Of this State,
and to dictate to the Republicans their policy.
All, sir, is there man in Massachusetts,, ex-
cept he be servant of the slave power, who
can hear me advocate the equal rights of man
without feeling serious pangs OF conscience ?
Gaughter.) Is there a son of this glorious
old commonwealth who cannot hear me draw
logical conclusions from the Declaration of In
dependence; who cannot hear me speak of
the natural right of man to the exercise of
selfgovernment, without feeling blush flut-
tering upon his cheeks? If so, sir, am sor-
~ for him it is his fault, not mine.
Interfere with your local matters How
could L? What influence could l, an hum
BILE stranger among you, exercise on the action
of Massachusetts, But one thing must tell
you. 1t ought never to be forgotten that this
old commonwealth occupies a representative
position. Her history is familiar to the ma
tons; even South Carolina knows it. Laugh-
ter and applause.) The nation is so accus-
toned to admire her glorious deeds for free
dom, that with this expectation their eyes are
turned upon her. Massachusetts, can do
nothing in secret; Massachusetts can do moth
ing for herself alone; every one of her acts
involves hundred fold responsibility. What
Massachusetts, does is felt from the Atlantic
to the Pacific But Massachusetts, need only
be herself in order to be great. This is her
position among the free States, recognized by
all. Can there be more honorable? Sons
of Massachusetts, you may be proud of it.
Do not forget that from her greatness you
cannot separate your responsibility.
No, will not NEEDLE with your concerns.

Sir, was to speak on Republicanism at
the West, and so l did. This Is Western
Republicanism. These are its policy. These
are the ideas which have raised around the
banner of liberty not only the natives of the
soil, but an innumerable host of Germans,

This is the banner floating over that glorious
