The lhEeespssohss of CLarlSs RradIauah. the
Engliah refofmer, At Btaiavay Hall. in
New York, have been Efforts Of very great
courage and ability, and will doubtless produce |
a market effect here. 81 we'll as in his own
country. The following extracts, which we
lake from his speech Of Friday lsst, will show

York az he ia in London:,

Now some Of you may put it to me that how
ever much you may be disposed 10 take myview,
You think 1 may be hteIyt to strain the case.
Fortunately, 1t does not rest upon whether am
likely TO strain it Of not Inl7S8 we-that is,
you and had mad King, yOuwere beginning
to shake him of; you had broken the chain that
bound his madness 10 you, but you had him
lhen amp although your glorious independence
had cast Oh the name, the thing in ilsS misery
In IFS war stain, rested on you and cursed your
home despite yonfseIg@.f We had q mad
King LEFT Us. do not mean that he was any
the worse for being mad admit that English
monarchies 20 on a. we'll when the monarchs
are mad as when the monaFchs are sane
laughterl and do not pretend TO urge that
the mere madness Of king is any objection, 81
far as discussing the matter from mouarchial
point OF view is concerned. George III. was
=
very often, but not officially; be thought he led
regiment to the battle OF Waterloo, and that il
about % near IS he was ever likely to get to a
battle. William ~. was mad; he wanted a
wooden-legged lieutenant once to kneel TO him
at levee. Fortunately, NADINE becomes rarer
Ii is true MIR. Disraei has said that even a
mere modern monarchy is physically and morally
incapable Of filling regal functions, but what au-
thoTity he hss for that en- net in position to
say.
| We do net seek to make our Republic by
force We do not seek 10 make our Republic BY
arms, We do nct seek to make our Republic by
violence--we do seek 10 make our Republic at
the hustngs. Oar weapon Is the ballot, not
the bullet; our weapon is reason and not force,
and We desire to argue our cause in st. Sleph-
enc, and il we cannot win the majority we
will be content to fail, having done our best.
