Address to Young Men---Eacts Worth
Considering.
: We don't know to what journal the
credit of the following article belongs,
but we commend it to the attentive
perusal and careful study of every
young man in the country, as contain
ing truths upon which he should pom
der, and which should influence his
political action:
"The Republican party has created
a gigantic aristocracy based on your
labor-on bonds given and made ex-
empt from taxation. These bonds are
simply your notes. You must pay
them. They must be payed from your
earnings. To-day-to-morrow
week-next month-next year-for
years and years to come you young
men, all the while growing older,
must work to redeem these notes
which arc your chains binding you to
tofl-mortgages on your labor.
| + When the war began these notes did
not exist. Under the laws of Ameri-
Cd they cannot legally exist as created !;
for they bring wealth to those. who
Hold them and are not taxed. The
Republicans legislated the power to
create such notes and called them
bonds, sold them for half their face,
declared them exempt from taxation,
declared that those who hold them
shall be exempt from taxation. and
declared that you young men, work
ing men of America, mast pay inter
est ON those notes in gold, and in time,
| pay the principal. - ~ At
If you have little farm, or q team,
| or trade, or a piece of property worth
one thousand dollars, on it you pay
taxes. This is right. II rich man
has a million dollars invested in bonds,
your notes, which he says you must
pay, he pays no taxes. He locks his
bonds in a safe, rides at his pleasure,
and you pay the taxes, pay him inter-
est in gold, pay the principal, work
hard and live poor, he does nothing
and grows richer, and in time dies
I and leaves his children the very dol
lars you earned. which should have
I benefited, and made your children al
least the equals of his children. $50

ton, and placed in the hands Of the
Federal authorities as a hostage for
England's future good behavior. The
policy of England on the subject is no
ilongeran open question.
IA America has formally recorded her
resolution that there shall be no set
tlement of the Alabama claims short
of that England shall surrender at
discretion and submit TO any punish
lnent which the United States Senate,
in its supremacy over the affairs of the
world, may choose to inflict. In 9th
or words she has decided that the Ala
bama claims shall not be amicab!y set
tied. Whatever may ensue. the inter
val, at the present day, is long between
National hatred and bombardinent.-
1t is useless TO ignore and dangerous
to forget that the feeling iii America
is one of intense and unmitigated ha-
tired toward Great Britain, and that
war with England would be regarded
as National luxury, but expensive
England has not only admitted that
such war would be expensive, but
deplorable. Under the circumstances
it is probable that the Americans Will
elect to keep the Alabama claims i'll
reserve and await their opportunity
for revenge more cheaply. War is
not an agreeable solution, though in
volying danger rather than dishonor;
and it may be better to accept any set
tlement which the present administra-
ton in London may have made, If the
attitude of the American Senate was
less Radical.
Mr.. Summers speech created an in
tense excitement i'll political circles
At the Cabinet meeting yesterday the
subject of the speech was informally
discussed.
Mr.. Bright declared the embarrass-
ment which its publication produced
served England very properly, but he
agreed not, TO consent to entertain the
terms of settlement foreshadowed by
Mr.. Simmer.
Lord Clarendon expressed the be-
lief that the actual negotiations going
on between the two countries on the
subject were of far less an extreme
character than the speeches of the
American Senators or articles in the
public press. He hoped TO find Mr..
Motley as courteous as Mr.. Johnson.
The present administration was eager
for a lasting continuance of friendly
relations with the United States.
Mr.. Gladstone professed to have
good assurances from reliable quarters
that the recent rejection of the treaty
on this subject by the American Leg
islature was purely a political move
ment. The present administration

Gen. Grants appointments in Kansas.

Gen. Grants 4 appointments in Kansas.
, Mr.. Ross, Il Republican Senator
from Kansas, took occasion, from his
place i'll the United States Senate, be-
fore that body adjourned, to declare
that president Grant had scarcely
appointed to any office man from
the ranks of that great army OF heroes
wlio so largely represent the manhood
OF that state, and who went out with
their lives in their hands, to endure
hunger, and fatigue, and cold, and
hest. that we might sit here as the
representatives of the country saved"
He added, with great pungency and
force:
'.B;lt in their stead we have ap-
pointed over us skulkers in time of
danger, and men notoriously unfit for
any public trust. In one instance a
gallant soldier, emincntly qualified for
the position he held. and who will go
cripple to his grave, is displaced by
. man who not only enjoyed the Sc
curity of his freside during the war.
but is known to have been pro-slav-
cry sympathizer during the Border
Ruffian disturbances in the Territory.
In another soldier is displaced by a
mere camp-follower, VINO made it his
occupation during the war to plumber
the government at every turn, and fill
his own purse with the ill-gotten gains
of stolen beef. In still another q
brave and gallant soldier as ever drew
blade, who entered the army pri-
vate, and won his cpaulettes with his
sword, is displaced by man whose
only recommendation, in the eyes of
those to whom he owes his appoint
ment, is his personal hostility to, and
defamation of, myself. This consid-
Grafton, in fact, will apply to nearly
every appointment that has yet been
made in my state.''
Under President johnson, the ap-
pointments' in Kansas were. largely
held by veteran soldiers. The soldiers
are perceiving, from this diserimina-
ton, that Johnson was their friend,
and Grant their enemy !-Eaqutyer.
1t may be that Ross did not tell the
President to go to h-l,ras was report
ed in the dispatches, but in view of
the foregoing extract from his speech,
who can doubt that he thought so? d
