Returning secretly few years later he
aided in securing the escape Of Kinkel,

to the United States, which has ever
since been his home. His love of liberty
for all men quickly led to his becoming
one of the founders of the Republican

among the German Americans in be-
half of the candidacy of Abraham
Lincoln, and when the latter assumed
the Presidency he appointed Mr.. Schurz
