The late speech of Senator Carl

L. The late speech OF Senator Carl
Schurz, Of Missouri, before the Ger
man American citizens of Chicago,
was very bold and searching in It's ex-
animation ofthc present state Of par
ties, and of tue evils resulting from
reckless legislation and disagreement.
Mr.. Schurz is a conservative rcpubl!.
can, but lie does not hesitate to expose
with an unsparing hand the abuses OF
power and abandonment Of principle
on the part Of those with whom ne acts
politically. He even opposes the re
nomination Of Gen. Grant, and declares
his election, if renominatcd, an set I'M
worthy Il free people. There is indeed
VERY little diIercnts between the prin
ciplcs laid down by Mr.. Schurz as the
basis ola new party and the policy Of
the democracy. The Washington Pa.
triot conlcnses them as follows, and
appends to each "~Acccptcd,'
/. The legitimate results Of the war,
as embodied in The amendments, should
be maintained with all constitutional
means, honestly, faithfully and firmly,
.. Strict adhesion to the principles
upon which the constitution is built,
and energetic opposition to all uncon.
stitutional arrogations oipower.
3. a thorough reform Of the public
service, and, above all things the abuses
Of the government patronage.
4. The elevation Of the moral tone
of our political life, and the election of
meu t, the high digUitics ofthe repub'
lie, who, by their example and princl'
ples, will exercise an ennobling iniln
ence upon political life.
J. The full freedom of self govern
meut which belongs to it under a con,
stirutional system, and which it needs
to develop all its blessings,
g.. \ tariff on imports, but only for
thcpurposc o~frevenue and no other.
Opposition to that protective system
which benefits privileged individuals
more than the public treasury, which
has created oppressive monopolies,
which has unreasonably increased the
cost Of living, which has destroyed our
ship building interest and our export
trade, and is continually taking money
ont OF the pockets OF the many to put
it into the pockets Of the few,
Z. y conscientious discharge of all
our national liabilities, with a reduction
OF taxes as fur as is compatible with
our iuties in that respect.
s, Opposition to that bookkeepor's
policy Of finance, Which seeks success
in paying debts not due with uuncccS
sary haste, and thus %cndangcrs by I'm
necessary oppressive taxes the life OF
(he goose that laid the golden egg.
As speedy return as possible TO
to specie payments as a basis Of our
monetary system, end a fixed meas
urcu Of values.
TO- Opposition TO the growth Of op
pressivc monopolics; and therefore
against the donation of the public do.

disadvantage Of labo ring people.

George III. Pendleton's EulOgy of
the Dead Statesman.

From the Loyeland Speech.
| did not know Mr.. Vallandigham
SO long perhaps as many of you, but /
knew him very well, During his
whole service in Congress | was his
colleague. During the eventful session
Of 1S6l-23 ! was his daily associate
and intimate friend. During the days
of his arrest and trial and imprison-
ment | saw him at every hour that it
was possible, and did what ! could to
mitigate the pains which IN infamous
tyranny inflicted. In those times of
anxiety and care and suffering, l'never
heard from his lips one word iLcon-
%sistent with the lottiest patriotism, the
most unfaltcring hope, and the most
|unblenching courage. You know he
was able and eloquent, and self-reliant
and studious; that he had great
strength of will aud force Of character,
and that magnetism which attracted
and attached men close to him. He
was also cool and deliberate and pa
tient. Beyond most men whom | have
known, he was sensitive to attacks up.
on the purity of his motives and char.
acter. / have seer him wounded to
the quick--his heart laceratcd until il
seemed sore to the touch, and bleed
ing his life away-by the vindictive,
savage abuse so uusparingly heaped
upon him during the war. Never were
attacks more unjust and Infamous. No
man loved his country more intensely,
and sought for the wisest policy more
conscientiously, or would have sacri'
feed more readily or more abundantly
health, and strength, and fortune, and
even prejudices and preconceived opin-
ions. to secure its welfare. He would
have been a war man if he could have
believed that war would restore the
Union. He would have been q de
voted supporter of the Republican par
ty if he coull have believed it's policy
would have maintained the guarantees
of liberty afforded by our Constitution.
As he could not believe this, he would
not swcrve from tue convictions of the
faith that was in him." even though
his heart should bleed and break at the
blind misconstruction of his character,
and the wilIlul pcrversions ofhis words
and aspersion Of his motives. thank
God he lived long enough to sec that
time--the Avengcr, in whom he had
such unwavering faith-had com.
menced his work; and that many who
had malignod him most were begin
ming to see their error and to do him
justice.
| thank God that at the last the SUI
penetrated the darkness of the night,
and that his eye saw, cven though only
for moment, the mists of the morn
ing dissolving before its radiant beams.
And if it be given to mel who have
gone hence to care for, or to know the
estimation in which they are held on
earth, | know his spirit will be glad
dcned by the fact that all his country
men, without dissent. will believe that
he was as pure Is he vas able, as hon
est as he was brave, and as faithful as
he was prosecuted.

Never FOrSake u Friend.

When enemies gather around, when
the world is dark and cherries, IS the
time to try friendship. They who
turn from the scene Of distress betray
their hypocrisy and prove that interest
only moves them. If you have a
friend who loves You, who has studied
your interest and happiness, be sure TO
sustain him in adversely. Let him feel
that his former kindness is appreciated
and that his love was not thrown away.
Real fidelity may be rare. hut it exists
in the heart. They only deny its
worth and power who never loved u
friend or laborcd to rake a friend
happy.
