CARL sCuCRz.
In the same vein do we find Mr.. Carl
Schurz, a delegate frJm Wisconsin to the
Chicago Convention that nominated Mr..
Lincoln, and recently Mr.. Lincoln's Min
lister to Spain, speaking in St. Louis, in
1860:
May the God in human nature be arous.

with an energy that shall sweep. as with
the bosom Of destruction, this abomina-
ton from the land. You call this revolu-
ton. 1t is. In this we need revolution;
We must, We will have it Let it come
HORACE GREELEY.
Now hear Horace Greeley thunder forth
his revolutionary advice to the Black Re-
publicans in Congress, when the Kansas
Nebraska bill was pending:
We urge, therefore, unbendng deter
mination on the part of the Northern
members hostile to this intolerablc out
rage, and demand Of them in behalf Of
peace, in behalf Of freedom, in behalf of
Justice and humanity, resistance to~fhc

better that discord should reign in the

should break up in wild discord-nay,
better that the Capital itself should blaze
by the torch of the incendiary, or fall and
bury its inmates beneath its crumbling
ruins. than that this perfily and wrong
shall be finally accomplished.
REV. EDMUND II. SEARS.
Among the documents published in
1856, and circulated by the Republican
National Committee as a campaign docu-
ment, we find sermon preached by the
Rev. Edmund II. Sears, at Wayland, Mas
saehusetts, June Is, 1856, (it will be re.

for FremonO, from which VIC quote:
Out Of the present crisis there are two
paths that open before US, and only two.
One is through violence and revolution.
When the public organism has become
possessed with the spirit of evil, and is
used chiefly for its work, the last remedy
is to break it in pieces, and let right and
justice go free. Revolution is Gods rem
cdy.
REV. HENRY ". BELLOWS.
The Rev. Henry W. Bellows, of New
York, is another political parson, who, at
every election, throws off his clerical
robes and takes the stump for the Black
Republicans. Hedclivered political ser.
mon in 1856, which the Black Republican
National Committee adopted and circula-
led as Republican document. We quote
from it;
Considered as a question Of policy it is
by no means certain. that the dissolution
of the Union would be political evil to
us. The Union is great, precious, sacred,
but--yeS, VIC must say it!-humanity,
duty, honor, religion, are greater than the
Union. This, then, is the unyielding
ground OF the Republican party-therc is
no evil possible to the country at this cri-
sis as great as the extension of slavery.
Dreadful as disunion is, the extension of
slavery is still more dreadful. The dsso-
luton Of the Union, however deplorable
is not primarily question, of conscience,
but of policy. We made the Union, and
we have a right to unmake it if we
} choose.
REV. DIR. KIRK.
Hear another political parson and
Black Republican stumper, the Rev. DIR.
Kirk, of Boston:
The doctrine that negro is not man,
and the doctrine that negro is a man,
have now come to the death struggle. and
the nation will heave with every convu-
sive struggle Of the contest. Neither
will yield until continent has been
swept with the deluge of civil war.
