Fom another speech Of Mr.. Hale, dc.
livered in the Senate, February 26, 1856,
we extract the following blood and thun-
der morsel:

CARL sHURTz
In the same vein do we fnd Mr.. Carl
Shurz, delegate from 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 ar
oused and pierce the very soul Of our
nation with an energy that shall sweep as
with the bosom of destruction, this abom.
inaton from the land. You call this
revolution. IT In this we need rev.
olution; we must, we will have it let it
come
HORACE GREELEY.
Now hear Horace Greeley thunder
forth his revolutionary advice to the
Black Republicans in Congress. when
the Kansas Nebraska bill was pending !:
We urge, therefore, unbending deter
mination on the part of the Northern
rnem bers hostile to this iutolerable out
rage, and demand of them in behalf of
peace, in behalf OF freedom, in behalf of
justice and humanity. resistance to the
last. Better that confusion should ensue
better that discord should reign in the
national councils-better that Congress
should break up in wild discord-nay,
better that the Capitol itself should blaze
by the torch of the iucendiary, or fall and
bury its inmates beneath its crumbling
ruins, than that this perfdy and wrong
shall finally be accomplished.
REV. EDMUND II. SEARS.
Among the documents published in
1856. and circulated by the Republican
National Committee as a campaign doc
ument. we find sermon preached by
the Rev. Edmund II. Sears, at Wayland,
Massachusetts, June 10Th, 1856, (it will
be recoliected that the clergy were very
active for Fremont, from which we
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
Remedy.
REV. HENRY W. BELLOWS.
The Rev. Henry w. Bellows, of New
York, is another political parson, who,
at every election, throws off his robes and
takes the stump for the Black Republi-
cans. He delivered political sermon in
1856, which the Black Republican Ma
tional Committee adopted and circulated
as Republican document. We quote
from it
Considered as question of policy, it
is by no means certain, that the dissoiu-
tion of the Union would be political
evil to us. The Union is great, precious,
sacred! but--y es! we must say i. !-hu.
manity, duty. honor. religion are great
er than the Union. This, then, is the
unyielding ground of the Republican
party-there is no evil possible to the
country at this crisis as great as the ex-
tension OF slavery. Dreadful as disunior
is, the extension OF slavery j. still more
dreadful. TIE dissolution of the Union,
however deplorable, isInot primarily a
question of conscience, but of policy -
We made the Uuion, and we have right
to unmake it, if we choose.
REV. DIR. KIRK.
Hear another political parson and
Black Republican stumper. the Rev. DR.
Kirk Of Boston:
The doctrine that negro is not mar
