Speech of Colfax-The Grandeur of

that which is to teach those who are
clothed with the solemn trust of res
presenting this great realm of free
men, who rule here, not by divine
right, but by free institutions, that
when they stand speaking for US at
the bar OF any civilized nation in the
world, they shall not, on the one hand,
disgrace us by boasLful gasconade, or,
on the other, dishonor us by bowling
the knee-that when, with that self,
reliance, that calm, that dignificd
American nationality, we command
the respect TO which our great re-
sources and our unequaed trials,
which We have survived so glorious-
Iy aud auspiciously, entitIe us, then
we need not go into the markets of
the world to offer gold and silver to
induce those islands of the sea and
adjacent States and Provinces TO cast
in their mite with as. to share with
our future. | feel ashamed as an
American when hear of proffers of
soil and sovereignty to men, women
and children, for gold and silver from
our national treasury. to share with
us in the magnificent future AS you
would spurn BRIDE that is bought
with gold, as any fair woman would
spun a husband who had beer lured
to her side by her wealth instead of
her heart, so we, as Americans, should
devote our nationality TO win those
who are near TO us in territorial con
geniality to cast 10 their lot with us
when voluntarily and in body they
ask To share with US in our destiny
and our future. We should then
welcome them into the fold of Amer
itan citizens"

without increasing the burden of our
debt by mourning expensive risks,
which are hazardous. The Congress-
astonished 1T the frankness with
which the General expressed his
views, while they, one and all. pledged
him their support. The General at
the same time gave his opinion that
there should be an extra session OF

Of the present Congress is for so short
time that there will be just barely
time Ia pass the appropriation bills,
and it is doubtful whether the grea

made yesterday, and says: This

From tho Demoines, Iowa. State Register.


We notice by our Wisconsin ex-
changes that the Senatorial contest
ia that commonwealth is becoming
quite interesting The country, and
more especially the North. West. has
AN interest in this question, only less
than that of Wisconsin itself The
States comprising what is popularity
called the North. West have ever been
since 1854 in advance on the great
questions of the day. Doolittle, as
Senator of that State, was among the
first to desert the principles upon
which he was elected. and 1t is a mat
ter Of congratulation that his power
for future mischief will soon be as
completely lost to him as the conf
dence OF the people be has so basely
betrayed.
The man who now seems likely to
succeed Mr. Dooliltle is Matt. H.
arpenter, and should he be the sue
cessful candidate, Wisconsin will
have every reason to be proud of the
selection. Mr. Carpenter is an ex-
traordinary man, and it would be no
abuse OF language or appropriateness
to call him great. Still young-con
siderably under fifty, we believe he
stands in the front ranks OF his pro-
fession in the nation and in the world

WHEN TO PAY DEBTs. If the
debtor class of people were to be
listened to the time for paying debts
and resuming specie payment would
never come. The suspension of spe-
Gle payments in 1862 was an immense
gain to northern people of all pur-
suits, except perhaps the money lend
ers. 1t enabled people to pay their
debts with about half their actual
value. Now this same debtor class
are clamorous against the resumption
of specie payments because the adj
vantage would all fell to the other
slde-the creditors and money lend
ers. We say let justice come, though
the wicked only are benz fitted by the
right. How to pay debts without
hurting anybody is the question for
those who listen TO clamor. But
they will find out that debt paying
must hurt somebody
