Amer reading the extract Mr.. Schnable
continued his yituperation and said: aDu-
rinr our Revolutionary War a regiment of
Bessisbs entered the British service and
fought against our fathers in their struggle to
establish the liberties of our people and to
afford an asylum for the oppressed of o.her
nations. Those Hessians fought for pay--fOr
British gold. But here is man, Carl
sehurz, who, fleeing nom the rigors Of Euro
pean oppression, avails himself of this asylum
and those free institutions established BY our
fathers-under the pay of Massachusetts AbO-
itiOnists--to basely sla1der and calumniate
those very men to whose wisdom and patriot
ism be is so much indebted. Are not the
Hessians more entitled to oT respect than
Carl Schuz2 TCries Of g Yes !" Yes y +
They fought for British gold; be fights as
the hireling Of the Massachusetts Abolition
lists, and sbuses our hospitality by abusing
and slandering the signers Ofthe Declaration
and the trainers of the American COnstitu-
ton. As the traitor betrays our hospitality,
SO would he betray our liberties" [Great

Now to measure the full depth Of the in
fanny Of this deliberate public perversion of
the speech Of Carl Schurz for groyeling par
tisan purposes by Pennsylvania member OF
the stumping caravan for the Presidency it
IS only necessary to read the eloquent and
mastery exposition Of the doctrines of Sen
ator Douglas on the Declaration of Independ-
enee, by the maligned German Republican,
which we publish elsewhere. We have
placed that portion read and commented on
by Mr.. schnable in Italics. It will be seen
at a glance that the aim of the patriotic
schurz Was to 0indieate, not to aspsrss the
Declaration. He did so in 'Thoughts that
breathe and words that burn, showing clear
as sunlight the unenviable position in
which Douglas placed its authors-not what
he would himself say, forSchurz had already
set forth, in his own eloquent manner, his
r IL. I
