CHoATE AS BUzFUz.-The correspondent
OF paper in Western Massachusetts, who
has been to hear Dickens read, is pleased with
all the authors impersonations except that of
Buzfuz, the advocate in the case of Bardell
rs. Pickwick. He has only qualified admir-
alton for The manner in which the celebrated
speech is rendered, for the following reasol {:
have been so used to thinking how our
great pleader Choate would have delivered
Buzfuzs sp ech for Mrs. Bardell, tnat the
English Buzfuz disappointed me little.
Choate used to make Just such speeches.
don't think he would have resorted to the ar
tifce OF pretending not to see the defendant,
looking through but not at him, when pro-
ceeding to uenounce his & eyolting heartless-
ness and systematic villainy," but everybody
who heard him in his great cases. heard him
follow precisely the line of argument which
Mrs. Bardei's counsel INDUCED in. Take the
opening compliment to the jury. Choate
used to sprinkle these compliments all through
his speech. l put it to you, Mr.. Foreman,
lhe used to say) with your long and pecu-
liar experience" with queer emphasis
on "peculiar;' and he would contrive to
puff or conciliate half the other jurymen, as
individuals, before he got through with his
plea. just bear in mind the way he used to
emphasize some OF the small words, .or," for
instance, and think of the jerk which he used
to give to his head and shoulders Just before
he closed sentence, and then imagine how
he would have uttered this, which was unfor-
tunatey omitted by Mr.. Dickens in his
reading: "let me tell him, gentlemen, that any
gestures of dissent or disapproba.ion in which
he may indulge in this court will not 90
down with you; that you will know how to
value and how to appreciate them; and let
me tell him further, as my lord will tell YOU,
gentlemen, that counsel in the discharge of
his duty to his client is neither to be in
Inundated, nor bullied, nor put down:
and that any attempt to do either
the one or the other, or the first or the
last with great shake at the last "orr) will
recoil on the head or the attempter, be he
plaintiff or be he defendant; be his name
Pickwick, or Noakes, or Stokes, or Stiles, or
Brown, or Thompson" with another shake
on the last ''or.") The spirit OF this is perhaps
more like Butler, but the style is Choate's,
and is a perfect Illustration OF it, How Choate
would have given the pathetic passage, also
omitted in the reading; "All is gloom and si-
lence in the house; even the voice OF the child
is hushed; his infant sports are disregarded
while his mother weepS; his 'aley tors and
his 'commoneys' are alike neglected, and at
tip cheese Or odd and even, his hand is out"
Then rising into indignation, he would 90 on,
-"But Pickwick, gentlemen, Pick,cick, the
ruthless destroyer of this domestic oasis in the
desert of Goswell street,-PICKwICK, who has
choked up the well and thrown ashes on the
sward," and SO on. But we cannot find fault
with Buz;uz because he is Buztuz and not
Choate.

Harvesfs on Historic Fields.

Three years ago the battles breath
Swept fery-hot across the plain
And steadily the reaper Death,
With cruel carnage in his train,
Marched through the serried ranks, tha
stood
UuR avering and cut them down:
While field and farm and hill and wood
Grew dark beneath the battles frown.
The cannon thundered in their wrath,
The musket rang with volley's there;
Inc loud shell cut its trackless path,
And burst with fury in thesair;
and thickly by the trodden way,
In dyke and field, by le vel rows
OF trampled corn, Deaths harvest lay
Friend close oy friend, and foe with foe.
To-day another harvest stands
Where once Death tired the bleeding plain
Ripe for the reaper's ready hands
That bind in sheaves the golden grain.
Afar the sheltered farmhouse sleeps,
Embowered in shade; while Ger the mound,
With pitying growth, the wild vine creeps.
Where rifles rang with deadly sound.
Up from her cover starts the quail,
IS CHANGING on her hidden nest
The farmer's-lad, with noisy hail.
Spies quick as thought the specified breast
And low and sweet the echoes call
While from the blue sky overhead,
In mellow radiance flooding all,
The golden light of peace is shed.

UncOnsfifutiOnaI.

Mr.. Shellabarger thus sums up
briefly the war record of the party
now bidding for soldiers votes -
q inquire where were found the
vast physical power and moral forces
of the great Democratic party? In
the Congress, from the beginning,
they, as party, and with few excep-
tions, denounced the governments
efforts to save its life as unconstitu-
tional. They refused men, and they
refused money for that defense. To
raise armies they declared was uncon-
stitutional to volunteer was uncon-
stitutional; TO draft was unconstitu-
tional; to issue bonds was unconsti-
tutioual; legal tenders were unconsti-
tntional the call for 70 900 men was
unconstitutional and so was that
for 100000. To condscate rebel
guns and slaves taken IN battle was
unconstitutional. To arrest traitors
engaged in burning the only roads
for our armies to reach and save the
capital was unconstitutional To
suspend the writ by which traitor
judges sought to release rebel priso-
ners of war was unconstitutional
To levy taxes to sustain the armies
was unconstitutional. To march our
armies into q revOlted State TO meet
the advancing armies of the rebellion
was unconstitutional. To feed or to
reinforce our soldiers who garrison
cd United States forts was unconsti-
tutional; and to assemble or defend
the Congress OF the nation was un
constitutional This is no caricature
.bnt an inadequate statement of the
Il position & taken. by the members o.
Congress and by the press and lead
ers Of this party"

The People viii Remember.


The people will remember thst the

ted, encouraged asd sustained the
rebellion. sts
The people will remember that the
Observation-Disclosures cried Peace Peace
when there could be no peace that
would not involve the ruin of the
Republic. lael- ts- 5@
The people will remember that the
Democrats. in the National Conven-
ton, in 1864, declared in favor of the
cessation OF hostilities, and resolved
that the war for the Union was fail
lure.
The people will remember that the
,Democr attic leaders encouraged and
prompted desertion. and expressed
the wish that Union soldiers going
South might never return alive. 2l
| The people will remember that the
Democratic rebellion cost the nation
more than three thousand million OF
dollars, and carried mourning and
desolation into every loyal household
in the North.
The people will remember thst the
leaders of the Democracy instigated
plots in the North in the interest o
the rebellion, ,consp,red to release reb
iel prisoners from Northern camps

The Main Question.

"Shall Four Millions of our coun-
trymen be henceforth serfs and out
casts in the land of their birth, with
their descendants through all gener-
ations9" Such ID the great question
remaining to be solved by the judg-
ment and votes Of the American peo-
pie.
These four millions are not even
accused of having forfeited the COM
mon rights Of human nature by any
crime. The gravest accusation lodged
against them is that of ignorance;
and this by the oracles Of faction
which has systematically excluded
them from common schools and made
teaching them In any way q felony.
No people ever Welcomed instruction
more eagerly or profited by it more
signally than do the blacks of this
country; there are more of them
learning to read to-day than of the
poor whites of the states wherein
they mostly live; and their general
anxiety to learn renders their speedy
enlightenment moral certainty. No
white man is denied political rights
in the South because he is ignorant:
the blacks are prescribed only be-
canse they ere black.
The blacks are full eighth of the
American people. They have been
fifth: they will soon fall to tenth,
and so to a smaller and smaller pro-
portion, only because Of our immense,
persistent immigration, which is
wholly white. They have done their
full proportion of the work of clear
ing off the timber, fencing, and other
wise preparing the soil for civilized
use, vet they own scarcely a. acre
or a habitation. But this is their
country as we'll as ours: here they
were born, and here they will live
and die. -r-s 3af 5f
1t is idle to talk Of expelling or
exJerminating them. Europe tried
this with the Jews through thousand
years of systematic spoliation,
scourging, torture and massacre; yet
here are the Jews to-day. They were
hated, scorned, cursed, reviled, ex-
ecrated, worse than the blacks ever
have been; pious Christians felt 1t
their religious duty 10 avenge on
them the Saviour's execution; chill
dren spit on them in the market and
stoned them in the street; mobiles and
priests conspired with popes and
emperors TO destroy the detested
race; the Inquisition sacked and
burned them; the rabble hunted and
robbed them; yet they outlived all,
holding their ground throughout
Christcndom. The negro has like
vitality, and will endure as they die,
The blacks will live and will re
man in this native land. Fear o!
their power, in view of their fewness
and poverty would be despieable
even it were not the basest hypocri.

ed because Mrs. Surratt was proved
guilty and hanged, and now sympa-
thizes with JOHN H. Suratt.
The people will remember that ev
cry Democratic State but Delaware
and New Jersey went out of the
Union, and these also would have
done so if the power OF the Union
army and the Republicans of these
States had not prevented. If Mary
land was an exception, it was only be-
cause the rebel Legislature was ar
reeiod by military force, and the
Union armies, in defiance of the DEM
ocrats of the State. -t--- ..-
The people do not forget that while
the Democratic States went out of
Union aud the controlling force of
the Dem ocratic party was exerted to
its utmost for the success of the rebel
lion and the consequent destruction
of the Union, the Republican party
proved loyal to the Union in every
trial and emergency. -st.e -..s
The people do not forget that all
the Republican States remained loyal
and exerted their entire power for the
defeat of rebellion. -.lt -r
The people remember that while
Democratic Congressman, Governors
and Generals violated their oaths,
abandoned the flag of their country,
and went into the confederate Con-
grcss and confederate armies, no
Republican Congressman, Governors
or Generals, turned traitors and went
into the confederate Congress and
confederate armies. -a
The people do not forget that the
Republican party took the brunt OF
the war, was always firm, loyal and
hopeful, while the Democratic party,
North and South was the arsenal,
fortress and nursery of treason.
The people do not forget that while
the Republicans always rejoiced
over rebel defeats and rebel surren-
ders, the Democratic party rejoiced
over Union defeats and Union sur
renders. ..
The people do not forget that since
the rebellion was crushed by force of
arms, and true statesmen and patri-
OTIS are trying to bind up the bleed
ing wounds Of the Nation and secure
lasting Peace, the Democratic party
is the enemy and chief obstruction to
wise Reconstruction on tie basis of
Truth, Liberty and Justice.
Taught in the school Of experience
the people will not allow side issues
to divide them, but will continue to
go to the ballot box with unbroken
ranks and vote that the Republican
party shall rNmain dominant in State
and Nation, and that the DemOoratio
party shall eat the bitter apples of
defeat for ever.
