DANGER OF IMPERIALISM. ' A Solemn Warning. Tho nddresB of tho Hon. Carl Selim/, bolero tho University of Chioago, on tho quoBtion of imperial ism, whioh wc publish this'morning, is tho most thorough and ablo discus sion or this all-absorbing subjoot that has yet appeared iu print. It is the work of a scholar and a statesman, a man of knowledge and sagacity. Tho airy sophistry of tho advocates of imperialism is penetrated and dis sipated by his logio aa tho morning mists by tho rays of tho sun. He warns thc Amorioau pooplo that in tho intoxication of victory they aro about to soil their birthright for a mesa of pottngo ; that thia proud Republic, which has made itself a power by its oxamplo, illustrating tho benefits of a Domooratio form of government, Booking tho welfnro of ita own people, and not engaging in entangling nlliancoa, is about to throw away its prestige, to make itself a byword and a roproaoh, tho scoff of all tho worl^ ns a nation which, under tho guise of humanity, baa waged a war of conquest, show ing itsolf no bettor and less honest than tho nations-of tho Old World, with their monarch inl govornmcnts. Mr. Schur/, pictures with graphic pen tho prosperous condition and proud position of our country before tho outbreak of the war with Spaiu, and says : "Peace reigned within our bor ders, and there was not tho faintest shadow of danger of foreign attack. Our voice, whenever we chose to speak in tho councils of nations, was listened to with respect, oven the mightiest pea Power on occasion yielding to us a defcronco far beyond its habit in its intercourse with Others. Wo wero considered ulti mately invincible, if not invulner able, in our continental stronghold. It waa our boast, not that wo pos sessed great and costly armies and navios, but that we did not need any. This exceptional blessing was our pride, as it was tho envy of tho world. Wo looked down with pity ing sympathy on other nations which submissively groaned under tho bur den of continually inorcasing arma ments, and wc praised our good for tune for having saved na from so wrotched a fate." Mr. Schurz then describes tho ohange that came over thc spirit of our dream when "a few vigorous blows laid thc feoble enemy helpless at our feet," and proceeds to expose thc puerility of tho effort to justify this imperial scheme by our previous acquisitions of territory, and points out thc differences as follows : '.Only look with an unclouded eye, ami you will soon discover differ, onces enough warning you to beware. There aro fivo of decisive import ance. "(1.) AU the former acquisitions woro on this continent, and except ing Alaska, contiguous to our bor dora. "(2.) They were situated, not in thc tropical, but in tho temp?rate zone, and where our people could migrnto in mass. "(8.) They were but very thinly peopled-in fact, without any popu lation that would have beon in tho way of now settlements. "(4.) Thoy could be organized aa Territories in tho usual manner, with tho expectation that they would presently como into tho Union aa self-governing Staten, with popula tions substantially homogeneous to our own. "(f>.) They did not require a ma terial increase of our army and navy, either for their subjugation to our rulo or for thoir defence against any probable foreign attack provoked by their being in our possession." Ho thon contrasts tho conditions abovo with the conditions in the new territories we aro about to acquire, and show? that theso countries, being already thickly inhabited, do not admit of being colonized by emi grants from this country as woro Louisiana, Toxas and California, and that even if our people wore dis posed to crowd out tho natives in tho West Indies and tho Philippines thoy could not do it on account of tho climate. Therefore, tho popu lation of theso new territories must remain substantially what it is to day. The consequence will bo that thoy must bo ruled na subjects, or become a part of thia country, with a sharo in the election of tho Presi dent and Congress. Either alterna tive is ropulsivo to ovory truo Amorican. But both theso alterna tives rest on.tho supposition that tho natives aoquiesco in our sobornas. Suppose thoy resist, as thoy may .WOll do, especially in tho Philip j pinos? What thon? "What sha!, wo do? Kill thom? Lot soldiors marohing . undor tho Stars and Stripes shoot thom dovVn? Shoot thom down booauso they stand up for their indopondonco, jur.t as the Cubans, who aro uo better than they, fought for ihoir independence, to whioh wo solemnly deolarod thom to be ?of right' ontitlod ? Look at this oalmly if you oan." Mr. Schurz next portrays tho dan gers of a largo army, and thou points out that wo may havo to pay dearly for England's friendship in this mat tor, and shows that, while tho friend ship of tho groatost naval power on tho oarth is a good thing to have, it is a bad thing to nood, and if wo uro wiso wo will not put ourselves in thc position of needing it, and iti this oonneotion comos ono of tho most oloquont passages in tho whole ad dress, whorcin ho says : "Our country is largo enough for sovoral times our presont population. Our homo resources aro enormous, in great part not yot touohed. Wo need not fear to bo starved by \,he completest blookndo of our coasts, for wo havo enough of overytbing and to sparc. On tho contrary, such a blookadc might result in starving others that need our products. Wo aro to-day ono of the greatest pow ! ers on oarth, without having tho most powerful fleet, and without stopping boyond our boundaries. Wo aro sure to bo by far tho groat j cst power of all, as our homogeneous, '?'.tolligont and patriotic population multiplies and our resources are de veloped, without firing a gun or sac rificing a lifo for thc sako of oon quest-far moro powerful than tho British Empiro with all its Hindoos, and than tho Russian Empiro with all its Mongols. We can exercise tho most beneficial influences upon mankind, not by foroing our rulo or our goods upon others that aro weak by tho forco of bayonets and artil lery, but through tho moral power of our example, by proving how the greatest as woll as tho smallest na tion can carry on tho government ol tho people, by tho peoplo and for thc people in justico, liberty, order and peace, without large armies and na vies. "Lot tho Republio and Groat Britain each follow the course whicli its conditions and its history have assigned to it, and their ambition; will not clash, and their friendship bo maintained for tho good of all And if our British cousins shoulc over get into very serious stress American friendship may stand bo hind them ; but then Britain wonk; depend upon our friendship, which as an American, T should prefer, anti not America or British friendship, nt our British friends, who so'itnpa tiently urge us to take tho Philip pines, would havo it. But if wo dc take tho Philippines, and thu? ontanglo oursolves in thc rivalries ol Asiatic affairs, tho futuro will bo, af Lord Salisbury predioted, ono o; .vars and rumors of wars, a id th? time will bo forever past when wi couid look down with condescending pity on the nations of tho Old Work groaning under militarism with al its burdens." Mr. Schurz then takes up tho argu ments of the imperialists, ono by one and passes them in review, the tall of our having our present torritory tho plea that our industries need i wider market, tho talk of tho Pacifii boing destined soon to be tho battle field of commorco, the cry that wi must have coaling stations, that th? Hag must not como down, the whim that wo aro an isolated people. T< all these ho replies seriatim to tin offect that our present torritory cai hold comfortably three times as man] peoplo as wo now haVc, that it is no necessary to conquer countries ii order to trade with them, that thi trade of tho Atlantio will for man; y^ars bo moro important than tba of tho Pacific, that it is cheaper t buy coaling stations than to conque thom, that tho Hag ought to com down except where it stands for lib ci ty and justico, and as to "isola tion" ho says : "What is that so-called isolation Is it commercial? Why, last yoa our foreign trado amounted tonoarl '2,000 million dollars, and is rapidl growing. Is that comtnoroinl isolii tion? Kcmomborour history. Wh was it that early in this centur broko up tho piracy of the Barbar States? Who was it that took loading part in delivering tho world commorco of tho Danish Sound duos Who was it that first oponed .Tapa to communication with tho Wester world ? And what power has in th contury made moro valuablo contr butions to international law than th (United States? Bo you call thi contemptible isolation ?" Mr. Sohurz next administers a scathing robuko to tboso would*be statesmen Yr'b.oBpoak of Washington's farowoll address as "nursory rhymos sung around tho ovadlo of tho natiou." Then, coming tc tho question of duty, ho says our first duty is to our own people and their posterity, and that tho greatest boon wo can proservo and transir it to them is this Government resting on tho principles handed down from Washington. Ho shows that tho Cubana and Fillipinos aro ontitlod to indopondenco, and that wo will bo false to oursolvos os woll os, to them if wo dony it. Conoluding, ho anya that if aftor all tho intoxication of triumph in war wo conscientiously remember our professions and plodgcs, and Boboriy reflcot on our duties to ourselves and othors, and then deliberately rosist tho tempta tion of conquest, it will bo tho grand est triumph of tho domocratio idoa of whioh history can toll. This is but a briof and moagro outline of Mr. Sohurz's speeoh, whioh should bo read and pondorcd by every American oitizen.

The rooord made in oamp by the 2d South Carolina rogiment is a Booroo of muol? gratification to tho people of this Stato. It will be re membered that this rogimont was built around the independent bat talion that was organized, with Major Henry Thompson as its commander, on tho President's first oall for troops. Thia battalion wns tho first oomplote military organization which this Stato furnished to tho Hispano Ainorioan war. It was ooraplotod long before tho 1st regiment seoured its twolvo companies, and finally tho battalion had to bo biokon to got tho larger organization into sorvico. Whon tho second cal) for troops was issued by tho President South Carolina's quota was designated as two battalions, whioh woro to bo ad ded to the independent battalion and from tho 2d South Carolina regiment. Tho battles of Manilla, Santiago, San Juan and El Canoy had boon fought aud the protocol signed be fore this rogimont was mustered into tho Borvieo, but owing to tho excel lent disoiplino of tho command and tho martial ambitions of officers and mon this rogimont was ordorod kept in tho service. This splendid organi zation is now in Cuba, whioh is tho best field of operations that could be ottered it suico peace has been de clared. Tho 2d South Carolina regiment is tho most favored in tho volunteor army in point of prcsonts by thc Administration. It boars tho unique distinction of being tho only volun teer rogimont in tho service that wa* presented, at national oxponso, with a silk regimental banner nnd a full sot of instruments for its band These woro tho gifts of tho Wai Department, secured by Lieut. Col Thompson during a trip to Wash ington. Tho only other rogimont ir tho sorvico to secure a prosont fron tho Administration was, strange t< say, Col. Wm. J. Bryan's ?d Nobraska which v/aB givon a sot of band instru monte. Col. Wilio Jones was appointed tc command tho 2d South Carolina am it was duo mainly to his untiring efforts that tho organization wai completed. Tho fact that tho decis ivo battles had boon fought damp onad tho enthusiasm of tho pcoph who had thought of enlisting, and i took hard work to fill out tho las few companies. In both tho Jack sonvillo and Savannah camps Col Jones has been appointed to act as ? brigadior gonoral, in fact bo alway I commanded tho brigade during tin absenco of Gen. Wheaton fron camp. Ho sustained himself HO wei ne a brigade commander that thor was much talk at ono timo of hi promotion to a brigado generalship Lieut. Col. Henry Thompson i considered by soidiors to bo ono o tho best drill mastors in tho arm) To such a degree of excellence kai ho trained tho 1st battalion of th 2d regiment that by urgent roques ho frequently gavo exhibition drill in Savannah Ono of these drill was at tho order of Gen. Lee, wh had hoard of tho great disoiplino an knowledge of tactics of this com maud. Whon this particular oxh: bition had boon finished both Ger Loo and Gen. Koiffor personally oon granulated Col. Thompson, and state that it was tho host drill tb ay ha soon in tho army. Tho majors of this rogimont ai both well up in military matters, an Major Wngonor, of Charleston, ha a splendid compliment paid to h business qualifications by boin appointed in oh argo of tho en til hospital force of tho 7th corps. It a mattor of record that ho evolve order from confusion that one tim seriously crippled tho caro of ti tho aick. Tho 2d rogiment is what might I called a nowspaper rogimont, and fl that ie needed to go* out a goo daily journal is a mechanical outfi Among tho oflicors thoro aro : Ed tors Thompson, Gonzalos, Bristo and Parrott, while among tho enliste mon thoro aro any number of prints and a few linotype operators. Tho mon, while anxious for servil in foreign lands, woro ovidontly w< disposed to Savannah, as tho follo> ing statomont from tho Morn ii Nows will show : "Tho mon of the 2d South Carolii Regiment havo boon groat favorit in Savannah.

And, from what can j asoortaincd from the Carolinas, ? I Beutimont of attachment is mutual. Speaking of leaving, last night, Capt. | W. E.

But now that tho order has como there is a marked ohango in tho sentiment of the mon. We have formed suoh an attaohment for Savannah that wo bato to leave. Tho boar ts and tho J) ou HOB of tho people havo boon so opened to ns that wo fool ns though wo wore leaving homo folks. And this feel ing, I may say, is not confined to the | South Carolina troops. ? havo hoard botli tho Illinois and Nebraska mon express the samo feeling. I notice that Mr. Curtis, of the Chioagoj Record, says Savaunah is 'slow.' However that may bo, tho boys from Chicago have found it quito livoly j enough for thom. "And talk about tho fooling of scntimont between Savannah and tho South Carolina boys ! Why, four days ago ono of tho most ha rura-soarum young follows of my company showed sigoB of having boon touohod by a moro tondor re gard than ho had over felt for army rations.

But I have my doubts if that young soldier will report at roll call in tho morning or go to Cuba with us. You may not bo ablo to find thom at tho taking of tho next census, but I'll guaranteo that Savannah at pre sent contains more ?oldiors' sweet hearts than any other city in tho Union. "Their sojourn in Savannah will bo always ono of tho most pleasant memories of army lifo to tho 2d South Carolina regiment. Of this I am sure. Tho soldiers, officers and mon have been well received hore, and I fool that I may say they havo shown their appreciation of their reception by their conduot. Some of our boys aro a littlo rough, per haps, but tlioro has boon no com plaint and no cause for complaint against thom. "AB I ?aid before, tho Carolinians rosily aro sorry to leavo Savannah.

"The President impressed tho poo plo of tho South just as ho did those in tho Weet, that he is their Presi dent and Binoorely anxious for tho well hoing of all sections." Mr. Wilson said to-day in disoussing tho gonoral results, ns well as somo of his personal doduotions : "He wants tho people to oordinlly co-operate with him in tho govorumont. No President has over given so largo a sharo of his time to the study of I publio sentiment, and nono has ever followed so closely tho lend of tho people, although he always has in his mind tho story he told in his spocch at tho Savannah banquot about tho colorboarer in the battle, who, when ordored by his Colonel to bring tho flag baok to tho lino, retorted : '.raring tho line up to the flag.' "Tho President has always boon deopiy intorostod in the industrial dovolopmont of tho South, like tho rest of us, und has watched faotory building ns closoly as I havo watohed tho farmors.
