The Deception Unveiled and the
Cloven Hoof Discovered.
Correspondence Of the Republican.

Mr.. EDrToR-It was claimed by the
Liberal Republicans in 1870 hat they
we're as good and true Republicans as
those who voted for McClurg, and that
they did not desire to disrupt the Repub-
lican party; that they were simply divided
on a question of State policy, and that upon
national questions they were With the old
Republican party, and desired its unquali-
fed success at all hazards. And when the
Republicans told the people that their OBJ
ject was to divide the party and carry a
portion of it over to the Democracy, and
that they were in league with the Demo-
Gratis to accomplish that result, the leaders
Of the movement denied any such purpose,
and by that means drew of many honest
men. Huston said in the NeU Era Of
June 2, 1870, that his object was not to d.
vide, but to unite, and that he was labor
ing for that object, and in proof Of his pre-.
tensions he said the Democrats had offered
him twelve hundred dollars a year to run 4
Democratic paper, which he refused, though
he needed money: Should We to-day
have the choice given us Of personal sue
cess, with victory to the Democratic party,
or personal failure, with the success Of the
National Republican party, We would say
give us failure, give us confusion. Lot the
Republican party succeed, let honest Union
men be elected to office, and we are con-
tent" In another number of his paper he
declared that in a contest between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans he would side with
the latter; that, as much as he hated Rad
icals. he hated Democrats worse, and
would take the side Of the Radicals. By
this sort of talk many were led to believe
that he meant simply to reform and correct
the errors in the party within its organiza-
ton.
But what has the sequel shown? Why,
that he was a wolf in sleeps clothing, .
cheat and q fraud, q vile deception and i'm
position upon the people. For now, when
the leading men aud papers in the Liberal
movement-such as Senator j. B. Hender-
st. Louis Democrat, Chicago Tribune
and st. Joseph Herald, and the Execu-
tive Committees of the State-have met
with the Republicans on equal terms, and
united in one organization, We find the
Era man, who so earnestly and positively
sworc eternal fidelity to the party so re-
Gently, calling on the Democrats to rally
and unite with him and his few duped fol-
lowers against the reunited Republican
party. Buffalo Bill" echoes the call from
the Democratic side (having his eye upon
the Office of Circuit Judge), in a general
TRADE against President Grant and every
body who s~ustains his Administration.
And now, at the very first opportunity, we
ind them. under the ban Of this new
regime. united and merged into the Democ-
racy, in a convention to appoint delegates
to nominate a Democratic ticket under the
guise of conservatism.
But We are glad to know that the fol.
lowers of this disciple Of Sterling Price
from the Republican party are few and far
between, aud tho great majority of the Re-
publicans who voted with them in 1870 will
vote with the old party in 1872.

SUMMERS COURSE.

Senator Sumner has always been
credited with o certain ''crankiness" of
temper and an inclination to hate Sc
vcrely n who may have personally
displcascd him. Notwithstanding his
impracticable and visionary plans oflcg-
islation, his honesty and straightfor-
wardness has not been questioned by
friend or foe; for he has uniformly fol-
lowed up his measures with facts and
arguments, which, to say the least,
were exceedingly difficult to be got rid
of. What must be the surprise Of even
his warmest admirers to observe his
conduct with reference to the French
arms scandal? The prime moverin the
invcstigatiOn-the leader in the msvc-
ment-it was of course thought he was
in possession of facts upon which the
charges were based. Upon this pre-
sumtion. the committee summoned him
before them to state what he knew of
the case. lie at first refused, but on
Wednesday last he appeared before the
committee. The following is the tele.
graphic report ofhis strange action:
MI. Sumner appeared and protested
against the summons served upon him.
He entertained the same views he did
Yesterday on the subject. In response
to a question he said he had received
numerous confidential communications
on the subject. but declined to give
names. He had handed them over to
Mr.. SchurZ. Sumner declared that he
considered it his duty to move for an
investigation. He took the oath with
a protest that the chairman was dis
qualified to act in that capacity. Hc.
however, testified under protest. He
knew nothing Of this question until the
23d or cath of December: n friend IN the
ScEatc-uot Mr.. SclurZ-rirst men,
toned the facts: aftcrward he SAY
Scliurz who had seen some papers;
Sumner. at Schurz's suggestion, saw
n. dc Chambrun. from whom he re-
ceived copies of letters from Reming
ton to NJ. Lecesnc, Of letters from the
Secretary of State.
Such higgling and protesting by
a man like Senator Sumner looks very
quecr--in fact, it presents the appear
ancc Of an honest man knowingly sup
porting . bad cause for the first time.
