s'In the heart of the foreigner beats
not single noble impulse, not one single
throh of patriotism EIs is so brutal
and degraded that he has no sympathy
for anything but cabbage and lager
beer, potatoes and butter-milk, or some
other outiandish dish, fit only for hogs or
the street or the pen. All the oaths In
the world cannot bind them.
'Some tell me that many foreigners
are intelligent-ycs intelligent. How In
the name of Almighty God can they say
it? Look at the Dutchman smoking his
pipe, and if you see ray of intelligence
in that dirty, idiotic-looking face Of his,
show it to me.

aud prevent these ignorant, degraded
paupers here from voting and holding
office; villains and rufians who congre-
gate in and around our villages and large
cities, and live by stealing and begging
from Americans. Some say they have
rights So they have-the right to live
under our laws, and till the soil, and do
as we did. They are inferior in intellect
and intelligence to tho Americans, and
they must be and shall be put down and
kept down, if it has to be done at the

NATICK, Mass, july %, 1872.
J. o. Culver Esq, State Journal, Madison, Wis
My DEAR SIR-The mail has Just
brought me your note, and the extracts
clipped from various papers purporting
to be speeches made by me. In answer
to your inquiries have to say that they
| and all thoughts and words of like char
acter which have appeared in the papers
are mere inventions, forgeries and abso-
lutte falsehoods. Never have | thought,
spoken or written these words, nor any
thing resemb bling those words, nor any
thing that the most malignant could tor
ture into such words. | could not have
done so, for they are abhorrent to every
conviction of my judgment. every throb
of my heart, every aspiration of my soul.
Born in extreme poverty, having en-
dured the hard lot the sons of poverty
are too often forced to endure, | came to
manhood passionately devoted to the
creed Of human equality. All my life
have cherished as bright hope and
held, as an avowed, living faith of the
doctrine that all men without distinction
or color, race or nationality, should have
complete liberty and exact equality OF all
the rights l asked for myself My
thoughts, my words, my heart, my votes
have been consecrated for more than 80
years to human rights. In the Consti-
tutional Convention of Massachusetts,,
eight years service in her legislature, In
more than seventeen years In the Senate
of the United States, in thirteen hundred
public ad dresses, in the press, in speech
es and writings that would fill many vol
mes, and make thousands of pages, /
haye reiterated and re- reiterated those
rights for all conditions of men. Is it
not, my dear Sir, passing strange that
partisanship should blind men to sense,
truth, justice and fair play, that they
could forge and print such abhorrent
sentiments, insulting to God and man.
and charge them on one whose whole life
has been given to the cause of equal
rights, and whose profound sympathies
were ever given to the friends of liberty
Of all races and nationaGties abroad?
Yours truly,
Henry WILSON

From the Evening Wscnsin.

The contest in the 5th district is be-
coming very exciting. This district Is
composed of the counties of Fond du
Lac, Sheboygan, Dodge and Manitowoc.
1t always gives large Democratic major
ity, so large that the Republicans con-
slider it useless to attempt to carry 1T.
Charles A. Eldridge has been the mem
Der for the past II years ; he has large
influence in Congress, notwithstanding
his fierce Democracy and his friends feel
sapguine that he will be renominated.
His chief opponent will be Sat. Clark, OF
Dodge county. Mr.. Clark, was one OF
the first Democrats in this State to come
out for Greeley, and therefore he claims
the nomination as right over Mr.. Ell
bridge, who was the last to come In and
who did not favor Greeley's nomination
at Baltimore.
This is purely quarrel among the
Democrats but Republicans can proper
ly express the opinion that if a Democrat
is to be elected from that district, they
would prefer the man who will exercise
the influence at Washington. 1t there
should be a Democratic Congress, MIR.
Eldridge would have fair show to be
the Speaker No inexperienced man hike
Mr. Clark would make any impression
on the next House.
All good citizens of all parties have an
object in sending their best and strongest
men to the national councils. 1t is on
this principle that Democrats and Re-
publicans have mutual preferences.
When they cannot secure their own can
didate, they naturally and patrlotlcaliy
desire that the other party should NOM
mate their most influential man. Wis
cousin, though young state, has alrea-
dy acquired an honorable prominence in
the national council for the character,
the ability and efficiency of its Sc nators
and its members Of the House. We trust
that in 1872 our state will more than
maintain its past high record.
Thus the Wisconsin expresses its pre-
dilection for Hon. Mr.. Eldridge, end his
views of the political situation of our
District: We, here in Manitowoc, think
quito differently. In the first place
there are more Democratic or Tommy
Warden candidates than those named by
the Wisconsin,; there is Gen. Bragg, as
highly recommended by his numerous
friends as any Of the others, and Mani
towoc has very prominent candidate of
its own, in the person Of Pres. Villas, a
man certainly as capable AMI who would
soon be as influential, as any of his pre-
decessors. Secondly. We do net believe
that our Republicans consider it useless
to attempt to carry our district p" If 1t
has been Democratic heretofore, it GER
tainly does not follow that it should con-
tinue so now, after the Democratic party,
as such, has ceased to exist and its form
er members, or at least the great majority
who will not be driven under the control
of their worst enemy, Horace Greeley,
are now perfectly independent they
naau vote for a Republican and we GER
tainly have as good material for Re
publican Congressman as our opponents
ever had-Judge Taylor for instance.
We hope to hear from other parts OF
9TH District sufficient encouragement to
nominate a Republican fer the 5th Con-
gressional District.

Frea. Douglass on the situation.

WASHINGTON, August Some OF
Horace Greeley's organs having ridicu-
led Fred. Douglass for supporting Grant
instead of Greeley, be responded as fol
lows in the National Era
Frederick Douglass is not ashamed of
his doubt Of Horace Greeley, nor Of his
faith in U. S. Grant. The head man on
the body of a snake is puzzling mou-
strosity. Greeley, at the head of the Dom
ocratic party, is a fact SO strange and
stunning as te explain hesitation and
raise doubt. 1t matters little how the
two came into their present anomalous
relation. The fact before US is that Gree
ley is the head and the Democratic par
ty is the body of the opposition to the
re election of U. s. Grant. 1t is all
nonsense and selfdeception to assume
that if elected by this Democrats nomin-
at on and by Democratic votes, Mr..
Greeley will be anything else than a
Democratic President. The Democratic
party has taken a Republican leader not
because it loves him, but because it hopes
to win Office and power under his lead.
That party would have secuted Greeley
if it could have won under a Democratic
leader. The members of the party haSe
not changed their principles, but theil
mode of supporting them, the ''old plati
tudeS' of truth, are much to be prefer
ed to the rlatitudes of falsehood and
disqualification, by which friend OF
the negro would beguile him into the old
Democratic party. 1t is better to cling
to an old truth than to new lie.

THE Independent is not afraid to free
its mind politically in this incisiye way !:
The two pictures presented to the coun-
try are these First-A defeated, demor-
allied and corrupt party 1.-THE most cor
rupt according to Mr.. Greeley's repeated
statements that ever existed In these
United States), copcious of its own
weakness, going outside of its own
ranks and taxing for its Presidential can
didate man who has spent his life in
denouncing it, and whose political an
tecedents are the exact autipodes Of Its
own. Secondly-A restless selfish and
scheming politician forswearing nearly
all the principles of his life, proving
himself false to Republicanlsm, selling
| himself out to Democracy, and hoping
that enough Republicans will follow
him to secure his election.

Mr. Greeley's Bargain.

The charges made by the Bing hampton
Republican, the proof Of which we haye
published in our columns, are summed up
as follows:
l. Nearly year ago, Democrats
sought to make trade with Mr.. Gree
ley, whereby he should become their can
didate for the Presidency.
2. The Intrigue was conducted by
Carmichael aud Seymour on one side and
Greeley, Hutchins and Fenton on the
other, and resulted in Greeley's promis-
ing verbally to Carmichael, some time in
October, to become the Democratic can
didate for President.
3. Mr.. Greeley, among other declara-
tions of sentiments, expressed his appro-
val of scheme to secure the payment of
pensions to rebel soldiers.
4. Mr.. Greeley, therefore, virtually be-
came the candidate of the Democratic
party, by secret intrigue with leading
Democrats, long before the Cincinnati
Convention was convened, and hence
his nomination there as a Republican was
a fraud upon the Liberal Republican
movement, because obtained under false
pretenSes.
That these charges are true, there can
be no doubt, as they are not only s4bsa.s2-
tiate1 by witnesses, but have not been
denied by Mr.. GREELEY organ, the
New York Tribune The virtual admis-
sion, Therefore, of the charges, places Mr..
Greeley in the dishonorable position of a
man who, while processing friendship to
one party, is secretly negotiating with
another. He secures subscribers to his
own paper as Republican paper, and at
the same time has agreed to sell himself
and his paper to the Democrats for a
c0nstderation-that OF the nomination for
President.
1t is for the people to decide whether
man who thus nlays the traitor in pol
itics, is to be trusted in a high official
position, and whether base traffic for
spoils is to be rewarded and approved. =

The Louisville Ledger supports Gree
ley but it cannot eondescend to retail the
falsehoods which those who made the
contract for the movement, are constant
ly repeating in regard to the origin Of the
bargain and sale. The pretence that the
people had anything to do with the pro
gramme is barefaced imposition. The
Ledger says: We are tired of the silly
twaddle that the Greeley ticket is the re-
suit of a movement-a ground swell they
call it of the people, and that the pol
iticians had no part In the matter; that
Greeley and Brown were nominated by
the masses, the uoe popu3i, independent
OF and in spite of the politicians. The
truth is that with the Greeley movement
the people had absolutely nothing to do
