II. Vincent.


This gentleman, in public estimation, is
80 far abvove the range Of ordinary eriti-
cis.n that we approach the subject with
awe. lie came from London, /, larger city
than McGregor, and he told US many
things. His lecture on Thursday was
well attended. The argument was that
the English people were warmly in favor
of the Northern portion Of the Union,
during the late rebellion and loyalty true
10 the Union of the States and Of civil lib
crty throughout the world. There was
studied eloquence in Mr.. Vincent's re-
marks and frequent applause greeted him.
Had he been paid by the Aboltionists he
could have pleased that class no better.-
We heard him patiently and with modes
ty, but it was impossible to remember
that the English Government began the
siavetrade; taxed the American COLOMBO,
~itaout representation: impressed our sea-
men in 1912; denied the right of expatra-
ton; prompted the Hartford New Eng
landl Conventionists TO denounce the
Union of these States in Madison's admin
istration: forced from US portion Of
Maine and a portion of Oregon;
sent GEORGE Thomson here to gen.
crate sectional disafection; worked
for years to split this government in
pieces by its orators and its sympathies
with other nations; encouraged the South
to revolt; furnished that South with emf
saries and army material; ran the block
ade for money; hung out flag of pretend
ed friendship; demanded u surrender of
Mason and Sidell; covered, with its flag,
the conduct and character of the foes OF
the Federal Union; opened its ports to
Capt. Semmes of the Alabama and took
extraordinary measures to justify him and
his pirate crew in their plundering
course; permitted the construction Of YES
sells of war to invade Federal commence
on tho sea to aid British interests on
land; bought millions of confederate bonds
for the advancement of rebel credit; pre-
tenders Of kindness toward all the human
races while robbing Ireland Of her pro-
duce, her political rights and the privilege
of worshipping God according TO her own
conscience; forcing opium down the
Chinese with munitions of war; haul
ing the Sepoys Of India TO the mouths of
loaded cannon and sending them to
heaven on powder train;--if all these
things and many others in English History
were not before the mirror of Memory we
might credit him with higher motives
than lecturing for one hundred and .tifty
dollars night!
On Saturday evening he lectured on
CROMWELL. The writer did not hear him
then, but the drift of his ideas tells us ali
about the subject matter. Mr.. Vincent
preached in the Congregational church to
d large and very intellectual audience. His
sermon is highly spoken of, he publicly
declined being introduced as a 'Rever-
end"
We have no ugly disposition towards
Vincent, but when the American people of
even SO small city as McGregor besto,c
$3.50 on n travelling lecturer to misrepre-
sent the facts Of very recent history, we
conclude they have very large faith in i'm
ported stock. The men who applaud
him highest are no,c the readiest to 20 to
war with Great Britain for the causes
which, hc says, do not exist.

WHISKY TAXA number Of heavy
capitalists have been in Washington for
several weeks examining figures and statis-
tics in relation to the tax on whisky, and
as the result of their discussions, have hit
upon a new plan, by which they claim that
they will be able, if allowed fair oppor-
tunity, to turn into the United States
treasury $4,000 600 year from the man
ufacture Of whisky Their plan is this ::
They propose to ask government to abol-
ish the present system of taxing whisky
with its abominahle train of frauds, specu-
lation and official debasement, and to turn
over the business altogether to the hands
of an organized company of capitalists,
who will bind themselves to pay annually
into the treasury $50, 900, 600. They have
made the question matter of arithmetic,
and have come to the conclusion that they
can carry out their promise to the govern
ment and still realize a handsome profit Of
fifty per ccnt themselves.

H. In the midst of the general stagna-
lion of all kinds of business, now over
(preading the land, it is a matter of con-
kratulation to the people of our communi-
", that ehc suffering consequent on such
depression hes not visited Manitowoc.
indeed, we believe, never has there been a
Einter in our history when as much labor
has been afforded mechanics and laborers
Is the present. The building and repair
ng of the GOODRICH steamboats, has given
ample employment to mechanics Of all
kinds at good wages, and suc,. building
md repairing is done here simply because
re have the material and skill to do it to
better advantage than it can be done at
any other point on the lake. When We
get cur harbor entirely mpleted we shall
expect to see this, our speciality, multiply
.apidly.
