Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1872-06-06

Mr.. Logan am sorry that your de-
sire was not accommodated. am only
stating the fact. The same is true of
the Senator from Missouri (Schurz) last
evening attacking the Arms Committee.
It is not published this morning, SO that
the committee have no record of it upon
which they can reply. And now we
are told that the needs of the country
are such as to demand an adjournment
at the earliest moment. Be it SO. If the
cause of these Senators is so weak to-
dav before the people that when they
vomit forth their venom upon the head
of as good man as either of them, they
for reply. be it so. The country will
understand it.
SUMNER CANNOT DECEIVE THE PEOPLE.
The honest-hearted men, and women,
and children of this land will read the
purpose of those gentlemen as plainly as
you and | read it. The people of this
country have become too intelligent to
be deceived by any man. 1t is an i'm
possibility. They understand the whole
programme. They know that the road
out of the Philadelphia conversion is
the road right into the arms OF the Dem
ocratic party, and they understand that
a speech making an attack upon theman
who is certain to be nominated at Phila-
delphia is a speech made in the interest
of the Democratic party. Everybody
understands that. The course Of these
gentlemen reminds us of the war time.
There are plenty of men who were very
loyal, but they were opposed to the war.
They were in favor of the Union, but
We're opposed to prosecuting the war to
preserve it. So it is in this instance.
REVERSING THE RECORD OF A LIFE.
All the lifetime of the Senator from
Massachusetts, all his learning, all his
knowledge of international law, all his
knowledge of national affairs, all his OPP
position to slavery, all his past work, he
is now attempting to undo. From the
high estate to which his past efforts had
raised him, the Senator fell yesterday.
He attacked indirectly, if not directly,
every act of his life, indirectly. if not
directly, he assailed the party which he
says he made indirectly if not directly
he stabbed his own child. | know the
Senator will not receive advice from me,
and know am not capable of giving
it :; but, in conclusion, [ will say this
He spoke, yesterday, of the life-boat of
the nation, and tell him to-day that
tie true life-boat of the nation is the
Republican party, which, freighted with
the hopes of mankind, has passed in
safety and triumph through one of the
most terrible wars that ever was known
since nations began. That is the true
life-boat. Outside is all sea inside is
life and when you attack the pilot and
sow dissersiOn among the crew, that
moment YOU do what the Democratic
party has never been able to do-you
sink the old Republican ship.
CARPENTERS REPLyro SUMNER. The
special dispatches from Washington say
that the replies to Sumner and Schurz
in the Senate, on Monday afternoon,
have excited much interest. Mr.. Sum
neT's violence toward the President has
provoked Violent criticism on himself.
NJ. Carpenters reply was able, so far as
it applies to Schurz and the sale of
French arms; but when it came to Sum
ner it was harsh and even brutal but
not any more so than the speech which
called it forth. The closing sentence in
which he declared his opinion that Mr.
Summers account of his interview with
Mr.. Stanton was a fabrication, was the
harshest thing in it. In other words he
believes Mr.. Sumner to be liar.
The comment of coOl-headed Repub-
licans on this and Gen. Logan's speech
is that while they may be justified by
Mr.. Summers violence, yet they will do
10 good.
