The following is the concluding par
agraph of the great speechrecently de-
livered in the Senate Of Che United
States by Gov. Morton of Indiana:
Sir, there is one great difference be.
tween the Union party and the So
called Democratic party. Our prin-
ciples are those of humanity, they are
those of justice, they are those of equal
rights, they are principles that appeals
to the hearts and the consciences of
men. While on the other side we hear
appeals to the prejudice of race against
race. The White man is oyerwhel-
mingly in the majority In this country,
and that majority Is yearly increased
by half million of white men from
abroad, and that majority gaining In
proportion from year to year, until the
colored men will be but handful in
this country, and yet we hear the
prejudices of the white race appealed to
to crush this black race. and to pre-
vent it from rising to supremacy and
power. Sir, there is nothing noble,
there Is nothing generous, there 10
nothing lovely, i'm that policy or that
appeal, How does that principle COM
pare with ours? We are standing up
on the broad platform of the Declare.
ton of Independence, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed
by their Creator with certain inaliena-
BILE rights, that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We say that these rights are not CIV
en- by law :. are not given by the con-
stituticn, bat they are the gift of God
to every man born into the world.
Oh, sir, how glorious is the great prin-
ciple compared with the inhuman--I
might say the Observation-Disclosures to
the prejudice of race against race, the
endeavor further to excite the strong
against the weak, the endeavor further
to deprive the weak of their rights of
protection against the strong. 90

The Republican party.

Senator Nye of Nevada, delivered an
able speech i'm the Senate Of the United
States a few days since, on the pending
Reconstruction Bill, which contained
this eloquent commendation of the Re-
publican party.
the history of these mighty achiev-
ments, will inquire under whose lead
ership they We're done; and when he is
told shat IL was by that party that was
born of the emergencies of the rebell-
ion, he will not only himself, but he
will teach his children, to sing peans of
praise ro-the party that accomplished
such works. Fhave faith i'm the future.
When it shall be'asked in the future
who struck the shackles from four mill
ions of slaves, the answer will re, the
republican party. When it shalt be
asked who clothed these emancipated
slaves with the garments Of citizenship
the answer will be, the Republican par
ty. When it shall be asked who has
made these fields, once SO barren, bud
and blossom like the rose, it will be an
swered. 1t was the fruit of the labor of
the Republican party. Finally, when
men stand in judgment for the deeds
done here, He who judges Alright shall
say, You felt for those that were in
bonds, as though you were bound with
them; you spoke freedom to the enslav-
ed; you gave liberty to the oppressed"
Sir, let 1t be my boast to my latest day,
that ! shared in small degree i'm the
glorious triumphs that have pictured.
Then let those who fell back stand and see
the glory of which they are shorn Let
them listen to the distant music, not
only of four millions of ransomed
slaves, but of Christians of all the
world. Aye, sir, and sublimer yet, let
them lister CO. che. angelic chorus that
will come in, well done, good and
faithful servant" and they will regret
then, as they should regret now, that
they had not put forth all their energies
to aid In this glnriOils achievement.

A. D. 1868 Compared with $50 B. C.

Above 1000 years ago Athens was
in her height Of glory. Her scholars
and orators ruled. Antiphon, Of At
tica was put to death for his hatred
and strong words against tyranny,
but his works lived moro than ever
for liberty He was an orator and
teacher of eloquence. He also pre-
pared orations for others to deliver
for which he received payment. lie
wrote divination discourses, or SER
mons for the clergy, just as the schol.
ars these times write sermons for the
bishops and clergy. Only fifteen OF
his orations and sermons are extant
some OF them imaginary speeches
on supposed criminal cases. They
are finished pieces Of classical litera-
ture and models Of style for any age.
The present age has produced no
equal to them, and only Lincoln's
words at the ceremonies of Gettys,
burgh are equal to them for patriot.
ism. Bnt Lincoln also died by foul
means that his words might live for
ever. Such has been the fate of most
truly great men whose recorded
words tor liberty shall live ill the last
day. What is worth a life forever
must be born Of one who dies for it..
1t cost the life of Jesus to entail eter~
nal life to those who believe on him
and are saved. Liberty 20 the 4,0O0,-
600 blacks cost million lives and
may yet cost another million before
the ransom is full and finished.

THE Man for the Hour.

The Monroe Sentinel would have a
financial platform resolved at the
Congr essional Convention to be held
at Boscobel. We would have noth>
ing Of the kind except that of the
National Rep. Coavention--upon
which only can there be union and
indivisibility of the party. The ques,
ton IS, share ne q couatry'-the sal>
walton Of which depends upon wheth-
er Gen. Grant is elected. Better see
10 electing good National republi-
can Congressman, one we can swear
by in war as in peace, and then we'lI
warrant tho finances to stand well.
Financial soundness cannot survive
the government, and the latter is now
in peril. We prefer Gen Cobb oe~
cause he IS the man for the hour and
whether the moment DO pregnant
with revolution or peace, he is adapt
cd tor the delivery. Were all things
IN charge of the Sentinel editor, and
the same peril awaiting, we guess
Gen. Cobb would be chosen the
heImsman and prime defender over
any man Of the Third Cong. Dist,
just as Gen. Grant would be chosen
Tor chief command. We all know
Cobb, compared with whom other
aspirants are doUbtful-at least they
went not to the front during the day
Of trial, perhaps will be found at the
rear ut he next trial.

Utley on Carpenters Binder.

Utley, in the Racine journal, thus
characteristically expatiates on CAR
PENTER's Reaper and Binder;
"BoUND TO BE a BIG THING.-We
see by the Madison papers that our
old friend Carpenter, late editor of
the Patriot, has just been eloctrifying
the denzens of the capital with a
trial of his Automatic Grain Binder.
If one half the Madison papers say
be true, Carpenter has got the big
gest haul yet brought to shore.
The first trial of his machine is reps
resented as being perfectly success
full, having cut and bound tangled
grain in the worst possible condi-
ton.
This is certainly great triumph.
1t is the first effort, so far as we
know, to cut and bind grain automa.
tically, that has ever proved success
full and to Wisconsin belongs the
honor of perfecting and bringing
forth the greatest invention of the
day. If the claim set up for this
new invention is sustained, and we
see no reason to doubt it, it will
prove a prodigy of wonders, and can
not fail to revolutionize the agricul-
tural interests for it will not only
save and dispense with the labor of
five harvcsts hands but secures subs
stantially all the loose grain that is
usually scattered on the ground, and
what is more, saves all the shelled
grain, so that farmers will not use,
lessly seed their lands in harvest, and
the Occupation" Of cleaners and for
aging birds will be gone. 1t is said
that over 100000 reapers are now in
the field, with an annual demand OF
100000. To supply the places Of
these, and to keep up with the an
nually increasing demand, would re-
quire some two hundred establish
ments, with immense capital, and al
500 profit on each machine would
yield net profit Of fifteen millions
of dollars annually, or on the number
necessary to replace ali those now in
the field a net profit ofsiXty millions

most frighten an editor by their vast
hugeness yet, the saving Of grain
and labor could hardly fall short OF
seventy five millions of dollars an :
nually, Overland above the cold way"
Here is prospect that looks bright
enough at all events, even, if we dis
vide it by ten. We expect that Car.
penter, who is able to fall back on
his luarels, will send us the patent
right for Wisconsin. That would be
enough for all our wants, for we
should soon be able to buy out Vim.
B, Aston, and set up in the Z 30 bus
mess. Millions of dollars have been
spent within the last ten years, by
men of all classes in all parts Of the
country, but to no practical effect,
till Carpenter got ahead of them, and
produced the first Automatic Grain
Binder ever in practical use on this
continent. Carpenter, if you can't
manage your greenbacks and bear
your honors, appoint us as youragent.

Addressed to the Irish.

The Irish Republic published in the
city of New York, addresses some
some plain language to its country,
men. 1t is possible the sentiments
uttered by the irish Republic, may
apply to the condition of things in
other portions Of thecountry.
1--WE should have been the most
popular and the wealthiest foreigners
10 the United States. Why are we
neither one uor the other? Simply
because We arrayed ourselves polite
ally against the intelligent people of
the nation, and fought them with
more than partisan tierceness We
have assembled in mobs and assaulted
men for differing from us in opinion.
We have driven men born in the
land from the polls. We have howl,
ed for liberty in Ireland and helped
TO enslave men in America. In fact
our race has been almost IA unit for
Conservatism under the name Of De-
mocracy, and its degrading princi-
pies, and denouced and abused Wings
ana Republicans. IL cannot be de-
MED the wealth and commerce of
the nation is chiefly in Republican
hands to-day; that nine ,tenths OF
our people earn their bread from Re
publican men, all the while denounc~
ing their employers as black Repub~
Leans, Radicals, carpet baggers, etc.
Human nature is much alike, and it
IS not to be expected that men will
employ their enimies when they can
get others who believe as they them.
selves believe, to do the same work
The consequences are that our people
are driven into the sewers and rail-
road when they might have been in
comparatively lucrative employment.
The hot Irishman "damns" his Re-
publican "boss," and out he goes
and the cautious German takes his
place, minds his business and gets
rich"

Hop PIcKERs- Men are about the
country from Sank County bargain
ing for women, girls and boys to go
and pick hops. There should be
much discreet look out for knavish
scamps going about among the sill
ly and inexperienced. Certainly no
child should be permitted 10 leave
home in company with any stranger.
Undoubted proof of character should
be required Of any one applying for
hop pickers. AS to wages, it is fair
to expect currant rates paid at the
Sank County hop yards. No pro-
priotor has any right to hire hands,
or has any one right to serve, be-
low customary rates, and any bar
gain to the contrary would be void
in justice and morality.

tended and unless we are deceived
in men, Gen Cobb is assured of a re-
peated popular Endorsement by the
unchangiug people Of Grant County.
That five siXths Of the republican
mon of Grant favor the nomination
of Gen. Cobb, there is every reason
to Enow-yet there may he over con

great activity in the ranks of the
