upon inlexibly subjccting mon and measures
TO the same tests from which no himself DID
not finch. In this speech this quality is espe-
cialIy noticeable. He deyotes fow rapid and
searifying phrases to tho faults OF the present
Administration. But they are pointed out by
the finger of a judge not an aecuser. lie
condemns tho Administration of Grant, and
the rule Of the corrupted organization OF the
Presidential party, because they have not only
fallen short Of reasonable approach to the
fulfllment of their duties, but because they
have committed class of faults which render
it impossible that they can DO useful in
future.
While these portions of his speech remind
us of the Sumner of old, there is the proof OF
the meiowing and broadening influence OF
time and experience in his appeal for reunion
and reconciliation with the South. His words
upon this subject breathe not only the most
catholic spirit of Christianity and civilization,
but they are informed by the sasacity OF
practical statesman They should be circu-
lated in every mansion and cabin OF the
South. Every planter should read them ana
every freedman should learn them by heart
When selfish and predatory adventures are
striving for their own sordid purposes to keep
alive the passions of hostility and distrust
| between the two races and the two sections,
| il ought to be known and deeply consiuered
that Charles Sumner, the first, the aDlest, tne
most uncompromisng and consistent champion
of the colored race in America, urges upon
tbc neonle he has so efficiently befriended an
immediate and lasting peace. NO ono mas
| done so much for them as he. NO one pas
been so savagcy attacked by the spirit ana
power of Slavery. No one can therefore speak
in favor of peace and reconciliation WIN
voice so authoritative.
To those who have regarded Mr.. Sumner as
stronger in criticism than in defense, more
nrompt 10 smitc the guilty than to praise his
associates and peers, his cordial and unre-
served euogy of the Liberal candidate Tor inc
Presidency will DO new and welcome mani
Hesitation. The heartlest and most dscrimlna-
ting yindcation which Mr.. Greeley has received
since the beginning of this canvass is this
| from, tbe Den of his most eminent friend and
colaborcr in the work of emancipation and
progress. There is something especially vilu-
able in the words OF such man, "who would

leading characteristic of this mastery speech
is its masnanimity. 1t is stern only against
wrong, not even bitter to the wronS-docr
while it is kinl and forgiving toward old
enemies, and heartily generous toward Old
associates. 1t will add respect and admiration
to the sympathy which his illness will compel
from men of all par,ies, as he sails away to
regain the health and strength he has lost in
the noblcst labor possible, in efforts for the
GOOD of his country and the progress Of free
dom and enlightenment among men.

ISENATOR SUMNER.

Mr.. Sumner sailed yesterday for Europe,
reluctantly submitting to the orders OF his
physicians and the entreaties of his friends.
The attack which last year endangered his
life and alarmed the country was but the
open manifestation of most disquieting con-
stitutional tendency. His physicians have re-
peatedly warned him that entire abstinence
from work for considerable time could alone
restore him, and that to disregard this impcra-
tive Injunction would endanger his life. This
counsel has recently been repeated in the most
earnest manner, and Mr.. Summers announce
mept of his intention TO enter the canvass in
favor of Greeley and Brown was met by the
solemn and peremptOry protest OF bis medical
advisers. He has yielded to their representa-
lions. and started at last on his much-needed
and well-earned holiday, from which every
one who is capable of appreciating the highest
expression of political honor and personal
purity will wish for his speedy and prosperous
return.
Though we shall miss his noble presence
and inspiring voice in this canvass, which lay
40 near to his heart, he has not left us with
ont a witness of his faith. We print this
the speech which his broken health

direct and vigorous. more terse and graphic,
more eloquent and earnest. than in this
admirable address. He has always ever since
his first entrance into public life, occupied
higher moral plane than any Of bis associates
OF rivals. He has placed moro stress upon
considerations of absolute right, and less upon
those of mere expodiency, than almost any
Senator of his time. He has sometimes seemed
arrogant and ipperioM because DO insisted

LOUISIANA.

IouiSiana is one of those States upon whose
poltica situation it has been Impossible Tor
an honest man to look without pain. 1t has
been raled by one of the most corrupt and
shameless Rings of Adventures which the
Grant Administration has given to the South,
and under the fostering care of brother-in-law
Casey every species Of political immortality
has been nourished to a phenomenal develop
ment. Force and fraud, bayonets and bribery
the abuse of Federal power, Federal patronage,
and Federal artillery, the influence OF the
Custom house, and the physical aid of the
revenue marine seTvice,-all these auXlllar1es
have been brought to the aid OF the Renoml-
nationists Behind them the Radicals had the
support of a large colOred constituency, and
within few days they have completed their
arrangements for the campaign by the pur-
chase of Mr.. Pinchback and his supposed
following. Whether that incorruptible patriot
will be able to deliver his voters according to
contract to the equally incorruptible patriot,
Senator Kellogg, at the Custom-hOuSe door,
remains to be seen. But the bargain has been
made, and Pinchback, Kellogg, and Casey are
going to work together for selves and partner
Grant.
Meanwhile the Democrats and Liberals have
been, until last week, quarreling about minor
matters, and so losing valuable time, dlscour-
aging their own party, and driving over many
doubtful voters to the other side. Their dis
sensions, however, are now healed, and the
serious work of the canvass begins. III Is
late, but it is earnest, and the prospects are
encouraging. Our friends are full OF spirit.
The Young have caught the enthusiasm OF
their elders, and the women are cheering on
the Reform movement with voice and presence.
If the October elections are in our favor, say
the Louisiana Liberals, Grant has certainly
lost the State. But the matter ought to be
settled before October. We have only small
adverse majority to overcome, and with in
dnstry and zeal we can easily do it, 1t will
not answer to trust so much to the October
elections. They will 60 right; but we have all
got our work to do now, and the result of the
October elections will depend upon how we
do it, Honest effort in the campaign, wher-
ever bestowed, is never thrown away.

INTRIGUES AGAINST BISMARCK.

From France we have intelligence which
tends to throw some light on recent court
intrigue at Berlin. NJ. de Remusat, the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, yesterday declared
before the Permanent Committee of the
National Assembly that the military party in
Germany were dissatisfied with Prince Bismarck
because France is permitted to retain the
fortress of Belfort. As this party has always
been dissatisfied with Prince Bismarck, this
remark is to be regarded as an indication that
his enemies have used this concession made
by him to France for the purpose of
bringing him in disfavor with the
Emperor. That these efforts have not been
altogether unsuccessful would appear from the
tact that, on the occasion Of the visit of the
Emperors of Austria and Russia to Berlin,
Prince Bismarck will remain on his estates at
Varzn. This absence Of the German Chan
cellor is the more significant as both Count
Andrdssy and Prince Gortschakoff will accom-
pany their respective sovereigns.
The point Of which the enemies of Prince
Bismarck have made use is ono well calcu-
lated to find favor with tho Emperor. 1t is a
fact, which has hitherto remained unpublished,
that when the preliminaries Of peace
were under discussion during the war of
1865. the King Of Prussia demanded the an
Dexation of Saxony and considerable portion
of the territory of Austria and Bavaria.
This was strenuousH opposed by Bis

mittee has taken no pains to supply Michigan
with documents; yot even in the most remote
counties the Greeley movement has made

DO sure, large vote to overcome. Grants
majority in 1868 was $1,000. and in 1870 the
Republican majority for Governor was over
10000. Still many of the Liberals arc conf
dent of carrying the State. If they cannot DO
that they can certainly reduce the adverse
vote even more than it was reduced between
1863 and 1870, and they should remember that
what their zeal and activity may fan 10
accomplish directly in the redemption oil their
own State can be effected indirectly by their
influence upon other communities.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1872-09-04

The Conventions which are to meet to-day
mt Syracuse have an important work before
them. They are to name tho Governor of
New-YOrk for tho next two years to begin
with. There is no reasonable doubt OF this.
Only a very bad nomination could prevent
this, and there is not single bad or weak
name among the half dozen eminent Demo
Gratis whose nomination is desired by
their friends In fact. the certainty
of the election of tho nominees Of
this Convention Will make the contest
for the nomination unusually sharp and ener
gctic. But as the choice of a candidate is sure
to be a good one, and the nominee is sure to
be elected it is Of infinite importance that in
every act of the Convention, i'll every word of
the resolutions to be adopted. in every subor-
dinate nomination to be made, the great fact
shall be kept continually uppermost that this
is campaign of Reform. The Liberal Con-
vention will contain large proportion of the
oldest and most trusted members of the Re
publican party of the State; men who assisted
at its foundation and helped achieve its vic
tories, and who have gone out from it to bear
testimony against the corruption and degeneracy
of the present Administration and its reckless
supporters. In the Democratic Convention the
leading spirits will be those upright and ga
gacious men who last year saw that the true
path of safety and honor lay in the tenn
porary defeat of their own party, to accomplish
the downfall of that dishonest combination
which threatened the life of the party by assO-
ciatiDg it with their career of theft and rapine.
From the deliberations and the action of bodies
of men so composed and so led, there is moth
ing to fear. We only ask. in behalf of the
people of this State, who by a great majority are
earnestly in favor of full and sweeping
Reform in the State and the nation, that there
may be no room for mistake, nor even for
Misrepresentation. in regard to the intentions
of this powerful new party Of the future, to
continue the work so well begun of the puri
fication of our political and official system in
every sphere where law and public opinion
can reach il.

the libels of Judge of the North Carolina
Superior Court named Tourgee, who Is eX-
employing his ideas Of his judicial dutios
by going about The North slanderimg the peo-
pie ne should be serving. The invention
which this worthy has thought suitable to our
latitude is to accuse Gov. Vance of fiendish
acts of cruelty during the war. Infamous as
these charges are, it is hard to consider them
seriously. Tourgco makes them with his
tongue in his cheek, his audiences receive
them knowing them false, and the few
feeble minds which believe them have always
been ready to believe anything. Gov. Vance
is too brave u man. and in spite OF his oppo-
stion to Jefferson Davis and the party at the
South which controlled the war, was too SIN

crimes which owe their invention to the active
brain Of hungry Ofliceseckers.

An intelligent correspondent sends us sur

splendid progress against the money of the
Administration. No estimate of the vote in
figures can be of much value but the Liberals
have well grounded confidence that the Re-
publican majority will be so largely reduced
next week that they can count the contest as
a substantial victory for the Greeley party.
