[SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THBNEWS.]
COLUMBIA, November 27.
Whipper entered the Senatorial contest last
night. It is understood that this will benefit tbe
Moses party.
Hubbard ha? really resigned, and Captain 2. L.
Mann, of Abbeville, a friend of Governor Scott's,
and formerly on the constabulary force, appointed.
The change In the directorship of the Blue Ridge
Railroad Company was made only because lt was
necessary. The new directorship will do nothing
more than is being done to complete the road.
They^io not favor Charleston. Harrison will cer?
tainly be re-elected president.
Boozer, the clerk or the Supreme Court, ls bus!
ly engaged by Crews In writing warrants for
Citizens of Laurens County. _ Jackson, lately a
State constable, has been commissioned deputy
United Slates marshal, and will proceed to Lau?
rens to serve these warrants on every citizen in
any way connected with the disturbances, or
even suspected: Five co ri panie? in alt have gone
up to en force Jackson's service of these warrama
Crews bas full swing, and trouble is ahead.
Puffer ls here with fifty white men from the
Bowery, New York, v-'hom he will take to Uni m
to work his mine. The report of their arrival In
Charleston reached the np-conntry and caused
Anderson, major-general o? militia, who thought
they numbered. sixteen hundred and intended
capturing the up-country from the Radicals, to
beat a retreat to Columbia His name has been
mentioned as Hubbard's successor.
No candidate has offered himself against
Graham for Judgeship of the Frat Circuit. There
is a strong desire here on the part of both Rajdl
_ cala and Reformers, to elect a member of the
Charleston Bar, but the mao has cot yet been
found.
The Governor's messa"* will advocate the abo?
lition of the trial Justice o/stera, and a snbstlto

have been known to receive fees from the county
and'again from the State, and calle attention to
many bad points.
DISGRACEFUL DOINGS.
Caucusing Regardless of Expense
That Printing-How ?Inch for thc
SenatorsUlp-Open Bribery-The Gov?
ernor's Message.
[FROM OCR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
COLOMBIA, November 26.
Another idle day has gone by. Regardless
of expense, the legislators are lounging around
theatreets, and every one of them possessing any
brains ls doing his best to further his own plans,
or to assist some one else in some one of the mul?
tifarious schemes of plunder now being comm it
ted. '.Ca?cuss?s," as they are termed, are qui' e
the go. Everyone seems to have his own partie
ular axe to grind. A complete Statement of to?
day's doings, could lt be given, would not only
disgust your readers, bnt cause plenty of genuine
indignation.
"TO THK MANNER BORN."
One of the Georgetown members, McDonnell,
the other evening, somehow mistook the assis
tant Clerk of the Senate, John Barr, for our fer
vent friend Hurley, and attempted to make nego?
tiations with him to secure the chairmanship of
the committee on ways and means in the House.
Two hundred dollars, re said, was the sum he
would offer as a pour boire. We are afraid that
lt will take more than two hundred dollars' worth
of lobftylng to secure thin position.
. PROPOSALS FOR PRINTING.
Mr. Woodruff, clerk of the Senate, advertises
to-morrow for proposals for the State printing,
Nothing new bas transpired in regard to the
printing. We understand that the amount of
money cleared by Mr. Denny during the session
of toe last Legislature, for transient werk only,
was not far from-twenty thousand dollars.
Mr. Wilson, from Pennsylvania, says he ha? one
hundred dollars for any man that can prove him
to be mixed up with the public printing. The
correspondent of the Radical sheet must have
been making some "big tal kee."
REQUISITION FROM TUE GOVERNOR.
Governor Scott has signed a requisition on the
Governor of North Carolina for the arrest of WU
liam s hu fd rd and Emanuel Patterson, parties en?
gaged in house-breaking, arson and assault and
battery In York County;
TEH NKXT VS Vt BO STATES SENATOR.
Of course, this is the all-prevailing.and only
topic of conversation of any moment at present.
What the result will be wal depend on circum?
stances, disgraceful in themselves, but neverthe?
less necessary to secure the election of any one
at this advanced period of our State's progress.
To come down to plain facts and figures, the fol?
lowing is a statement of Just about the condition
of the senatorial contest this (Sunday) morning.
Chief Justice Moses's friends are urging him more
strongly, and have great hopes of success ia run?
ning him as a compromit, candidate. They are
waling, it ls understood, to spend thirty thousand
dollars, if neces-ary, to secure the election. The
speaker of the House, Franklin J., Jr., with pater?
nal f?Teetion more to be admired than bis
" Rally round the fltg, boys,
Tear lt from the mast"
exploits, is working hard for the chief Justice.
Chamberlain's friends seem to keep on in the
eren tenor of their ways, and as Hurley ls the
ticket agent, you can well see that lt will not be
for.want of hard work or any "showing of hands"
that Mr. Chamberlain will be defeated. The
Democratic vote ls, no dornt, the quicksand upon
walch Mr. Chamberlain will sink out of Bight. He
calculates upon lt, and'calculates, we think,
wrongly. Mr. Chamberlain cannot In any way
atone for the reckless and extravagant way in
which he mad? statements, rotten on theTace bf
them during the last campaign. Hts course to?
wards General Butler win cause his name to ran?
cor in the breakt ci every true South Carolinian.
The figures of the Chamberlain party were yester?
day $35,000.
Robertson doesn't know whether to see Cham?
berlain's $35,000 and stand his chances or to go a
little better. Robertson, too, counts on the Re?
form vote. How much foundation he has for?
doing this will be seen only when the election
comes off. .
It will not be or any special interest to your
reader s to know that bribery is, without hesita?
tion, talked of openly on the streets. The figures
may, however, attract some. Four hundred dol?
?ais a vote, we learn, ls offered for fifty votes.
This figure will run up much higher before the
contest comes off, and one thousand donara will o
no? be ' considered too large a sum. As for the b
m embers of the Legislature, they are determined ?
to give all candidates a patient hearing, accept F
bi ibes on all sides, and then, When the election o
comes off, go for the man who has the most ready
money. . .
If Chief Justice Moses's and Chamberlain's
chances were alike, the fact or the former hating
to be a resident or the State for Ave years to All
the position he occupies, and the latter having to
be here only one year, would decide thc matter in
favor of the latter, tor, as the vacancies have to
be Oiled, it will he ranch easier for the Radicals to
.Andaman possessing such a qualiflcation to fill
the position of Cnamberlain than that held by
M0833. In fact, we learn, that General Worthing?
ton stands ready to step into the shoes of any
successful candidate. '
WHEN TUB ELECTION WILL COME OFF.
As we helore stated, there was an uncertainty
in regard to the senatorial election. Many ha ve
expressed the opinion that Tuesday, the 29th in?
stant, would be tho day, and it has been so an?
nounced in the Phoenix. But that is a mistake.
We have it on the authority of th9 attorney-g?n? -
ral that the day designated by the United States
act of 1866, ls the second Tuesday after the con .
vening of the General Assembly, which, of course,
must be the oth of December. Ballotting m ust
commence on that day. -
HCBBAKD'8 RESIGNATION.
We endeavored to pump Mr. Chier Constable
Hubbard and found him non est come at abus.
He- "gives no information to nobody." He seemed
resigned, and we are safe in saying that he did
resigo ; but somehow he has not stayed resigned.
The whole fuss originated in a dispute as to the
appropriation, and like ail such little things,-has
all blown over ere this.
TUE GOVERNOR'S MASSAGE.
The message is bein/ copied diligently un der.
the supervision of Mr. John Ue.m, and two copies
will be ready for the L?gislature by Monday. Of
course nothing In legnrd to lt will be made public
by the authorities until lt is read. It will
embrace no points of any particular in?
terest' to the public. The laud commission
is berated m sound terms', and Dr. Ensor, or J
tbe Lunatic Asylum, and Genei>: Stoibrand are
proportionately exalted. Phosphates come In
for a share. The Governor Bays that the phos?
phates BhoulU have yielded a large revenue, and
they have not done so. The quarantine at
Charleston ls a topic discussed. On the whole,
the message contains nothing that will make or
5reak the State.
J(ADICAL.JtASCAJ.irY IX ALABAMA.
MONTGOMERY, November 28.
. The day has been one of excitement here,
it a late hoar last night Governor Smith and
treasurer Bingham obtained from the Supreme
?ourt, Judge Saffold, and the Circuit Court, Judge
'elham, injunctions restraining the presiding
ifflcer or the Senate from counting the vote for
?overnor and treasurer at 1 o'clock to-day. At
o'clock; the two bouses met In joint convention,
lr. Barr, president pro tem. of the Senate, an
lounced that he could not open and count thc
rote for Governor and treasurer, but would count
or other officers. The result ot the count was a
najorlty of aU the votes cast in the State for E. H.
loren, Lieu ten an-.-Govern or, 4377; 7. J. Parker,
lecretary of State, 4450; J. W. A. SanforJ. 3423
ill Democrats. The president announced these
rent lernen legally elect?! to their respective
truces, and ordered the returns to be Bent to the
lecretary of State to await Judicial proceedings.
Senator Mab ry then offered a resolution that
Ion. E. H. Moren be sworn in as Llentenant-Gov
rnor, and be invited to preside over the Joint
onventlou as the legal presiding officer or the
lenate. Mr. Barr, presiding officer of the Senate
ro tem., announced the resolution out of order,
nd asked the Senate to retire to its chamber,
rhlch ll did, and imme ?lately adjourned. Mr.
loren, in the meantime, was sworn ia as Lieu
mant-Governor by Judge M. J. Satrold, and was
wjtrta? *.- tb- mfflt,--''i n-'--ir Ba took his e-fiu.
ad announced that he was ready to proceed to
uslness aa the presiding onlc-T or the joint co n .
entlon. Mr. Lowe offered a resolution that the
ecretary of State, Mr. Miller-Mr. Parker not
et being sworn in-be asked to return to the
ieutenant-Governor the returns or the vote cast
t tbe late election.
Ur. Phelan, clerk of the House, waited on the
ecretary or State and obtained tbe returns. Mr.
loren and a majority of the General Assembly
elng present, then counted the-votes. Lteuten
nt Governor Moren proceeded to count the vote
)r Governor and Treasurer. It resulted In 1400
isjorlty tor Lindsay (Democrat,) and about 2500
X Grant (Democrat.)
Mr. Lindsay took the oath or office as Governor,
nd the'State, for a time, will probably have two

The following is an extract (rom General

sport's herewith enclosed, I invite your attention
j that recommendation or General Halleck which "
sfers to the nse or troops In as?lsting the civil .
uthorltles in maintaining peace, collecting the
evenues, &c, which has become so common of
rte. The duties or the soldiery In this coonee
lon are not-prescribed so clearly by statute that
he officers can understand their rights and du- j
les, aud the civil agents and authorities often (
xpect more than can be rightfully or lawfully ,

acted to make individual arrests, or to do any
ctof violence, except in their organized capacity
s a posse comltatus, duly summoned by the
nited States marshal, and acting in his personal

Bismarck Indignant Concerning the
Conduct of the Campaign-King
William's Address to the German Diet
-The Condition of Paris-Military
Operations.
LONDON, November 20.
GortschakofT's reply to Granville maintains
the position assumed, and withdraws nothing.
With peculiar adroitness he contrived to throw
the onus or the commencement of hostilities
upon England.
The Cabinet are again quarrelling over the de?
cision arrived at to-day, and will hold another
meeting Monday, * hen a final decision will be
reached. The Cabinet will visit the Queen in coun?
cil on Tuesday.
Th? Herald special says ihat Russia's reply is
evidence that she ls not prepared to abide un?
equivocally by her original circular, but Gort
schakoff, though he does not wisa war, is averse
to withdrawing the circular.
A Tribune special from St. Petersburg says Rus?
sia is unprepared for war and cannot be prepared
before spring. The St. Petersburg Gazette says
Russia cannot withdraw her declaration nor
leave it without practical consequences. Such a
proposition from the English press only compels
her to pursue more actively A realization or the
problem set befire her. No one In Russia rt eslres
war, but all classes would consent to war rather
than a humiliating retraction under threats.
Dispatches to private parties say that Gortscha
kofl's answer does not withdraw .the claims, but
repeats the reference to the violations of the
treaty. The morning papers say the ministry
will- stand firm; The fe-llng In stocks ls much
improved. rt
The Army and Navy Gazette to-day under?
stands that Russia has a new weapon superior to

NEW YORK, November 26.
The World's special London correspondent, who
left Versailles on thc 21st, brings a report of the
following interview with Bismarck :
Question. Explain the dissatisfaction express?
ed in Germany at the plan of the campaign, espe?
cially regarding Paris?
Answer. The capture of Paris Is clamored for
and mnst be accomplished, sooner or later, to
satisfy the folks at home Respecting the time
and manner of effecting the capturo public opin?
ion ls widely astray. Had my counsel been fol?
lowed, Paris wonld have been attacked loog
ago.
Question. Were your counsels overruled f
Answer. Arter the victorious a mies or Weisen
burg and Woerth emerged from the Vosges and
?vere marching toward Chalons, Von Moltke de?
cided they should oome up and aid in the annihl- ,
laiton of thc army which so hurriedly abandoned 1
Chalons. I favored a continuance of the march 1
un Paris, then unprepared for a siege, and to I.
take it,or at least cut ltofffrom the rest of France, j 1
which should then be overrun as quickly as possl- ]1
ile. When the department or the^elnc-et-OIse j j
was reached, lt was found a bard nut to crack, j
First we determined npon bombardment from a 1
iecret park of artillery at Ville Coubley, but now j
;ame new disagreement*. The King, advised by 1
Uulike, determine 1 to let famine reduce the capl- I <
al, trusting that Parisian discords would hauen
?apltulatlon.
Question. Thia plan was universally supposed I <
0 be your own. I j
Answer, So Tar is this from truth that I now I f
.?oc to disguise myTiidio-?-,_,_Lt
iluded frem the councils when great questions | <
ire decided. The whole plan ls now changed, for
vhich I am held responsible. I have most ard out
y desired and strenuously urged thc bombard- I
nent of Paris. ? f
Question. But you bave the satisfaction or hav- (
ng accomplished the unification of Germany.
Anwer. Ab ! I at*rlbute nothing, and the par- I ,
lal failure of German unity to the delay results
rom these opposing schemes. Had my advice I i
teen followed, Bavaria aud Wurtemburgwould L
lave been carried on the wave which swept over ,
1 er m any, and the grand scheme or a United ,
fatherland and Deutscher Kaiser w.uld have be- ,
lome a reality Instead of a half-liearted confede- ,
allon about to be born. Por me, the great object (
>f the war never lay on this side of the Rhine, bnt ,

iountry, one great people and one great empire. (

HING WILLIAM TO GERMANT. '
Meeting of the North German Parlia?
ment-The Speech from the Throne.
BERLIN, November 24.
The Diet was opened to-day with the usual cere?
monies. There was no excitement. The speech
>1 the Crown, delivered by President Delbr?ck,
insisted of "glittering generalities," and was
especially unsatlslactory on German questions.
The money asked will be promptly Toted, but the
modification of the constitution to suit the South
?ernian States will meet opposition. The follow?
ing is the speech or the King :
Honored Gentlemen of the North German Par?
liament :
His Majesty, the King of Pru-sla, has been
ileased to assign me tue duty or opening the Par?
lament of thc North German Confederation la the
jame of the Confederate Governments, lt would
lave giveu bis Majesty great satisfaction if he
iould have been presen: to-day to thank God,
'rom tins place, for the successes with which the J
3erman arms have been favored, and to express
,0 you how much the national attitude and the
inanlmliy or Parliament, In affording the means
?ecessary for carrying on tue war, have aided
these successes. -
By the victories, unprecedented ni the military
Ustory of the world, which by. God's help have
)een ga1 ned through the heroic con rage and wise
eadershlp or the Germans, the aggressive move
nent made by France against Germany in July I
ast has been repelled. The French people must
lave acquired the conviction that their present
power, since the destruction o' then* armies 1
which were sent into the field against us, ls no
capable of resisting the united military forces o
Germany. We might, therefore, regard peace ai
certain had our unfortunate neighbors a govern
meat, the members of which would haveselzet
every opportunity to enable the nation, at th<
hean or which lt had placed itself by its own act
to elect a national Assembly to deliberate upoi
the present and future J-tate or their country.
But the documents which wdl be submitted tc
you will prove that those who now hold the powei
In France preter to sacrifice thc strength or a no
ble nation tn ? hopeless struggle, thc Incalculabh
exhaustion and waste of which will result almost
alone to France. Thc continuance or the war un
der present circumstances no lessens the powei
.ot the country that restoration will be slowei
than in the ordinary course of war.
The government ls. however, compelled wit!
regret to express the conviction that, peace be
tween these two great neighboring peoples-upou
the continuance of which they calculated lest
than six months ago-will be imperilled by tnt
remembrances which chis war will leave ii
France, when by the recovery of her own
strength-or by the alliances with other powers
she shall feel herself strong enough to renew the
struggle. The conditions upon which the allied
go vernmen ts would conclude peace have been pah
Hely dlsjussed. It Is necessary they should be com?
mensurate with tiie greatness of the sacrifice laid
npon ourcountry by this war,whlch,though under
tasen without any reason wbatever, was ap?
proved by the whole French nation. It ls, ubovc
all things necessary that they should esublisti a
s ire frontier for Germany, against the contin?
uance br future rulers ul France or desire Tor con?
ques'-. Tho Confederate Governments feel that
they can rely upon the North German Parliament
not to refuse the means still acquired for the at?
tainment of these objects. They are convinced
that now when ir ii a question or rendering secure
the policy or conquest which has been pursued foi
so mauy hundred years, and that this frontier
s h o ul i be se ti led so as partly to redress the re?
sults or the unfortunate wars, which Germany, at
a perl d or Internal tilssenslona, was forced to
Wnge by France, lt ls at the same time necessary
that our South German brethren should bs freed
from the threatening position which France ac?
quired by former wars The results which have
been achieved arc berorc you. The governments
expect to meet rrom you the same patriotism
sud devotion which they have alreudy expe?
rienced when they had to undertake the now
achieved successes, it ls their most earnest wish
that lt may be possible to refrain irani using til
these means.
To afford a complete Burvey of the political
situation, the governments will lay before you
communications which have recently reached the
Ministry of Foreign Atfairs, respecting the treaty
of Parts; In . doing which the government ex?
presses the hope that ihc blessings of p ace will
remain assured to those nations which have
hitherto enjoyed them. The continuance or war
has not prevented the accomplishment or works
of peace. The sentiment of unity which has been
vivified by common danger and jointly-won vic?
tories; the consciousness ot the position which
Germany, for thu first time for centuries, has
achieved through her unity; the recognition of
the fact t hat only by the creation or permanent
institutions Tor the future or Germany can a Ut?
ting legacy of this time of deeds and sacrifie.-s be
assured, haye rapidly and completely rilled the
German peobles and princes with thc conviction
that stronger links than iNose afforded by inter?
national treaties were needed between the North
and the South.
This unanimous opinion of the government has
led to negotiation", the first fruits of which,
springing iroru the field ofhaitle, will be laid be
lore jon ior spprovar, In thc shape or a constitu?
tion for the German Confederacy, which has been
agreed noon Dy the North German Conrederatl in
and i he* Grand Dnchus of Baden and Hesse
Darmstadt, and unanimously adopted hy the
Fe?Ierai Council. An understanding which bas
been arrived at upon a similar baRis with Bavaria,
will also form a subject ror your deliberations.
Tue treatment or the views which exist between
the Allied Governments and Wurtemburg respect?
ing the objects to be attained, permits us to hore
that asimilar agreement as to the method or at?
taining lt will not be wanting.
Honored gentlemen, with this work you will
worthily close a period such as has rarely been
the lot or legislative assemblies. lu a little more
than three years you have helped the further com?
plet ion of tne Federal constitution which was cou?
ll ned to your co-operation by a long series of Im?
pon ant laws entering deeply Into the most vaned
interests of Ute nation; and by the laatof these
aws submitted to yon. this constitution, and the
eglslation resting thereon, are to be extended
icros? the frontier which hitherto separated us
from eur South German brethren.
'ihe great national idea which has hitherto
rulded you in your deliberations will, with God's
lelp, be brought nearer to us tull realisation by
.he last discussion ror which yon assemble. ,
Therefore, by order of his Majesty the King, and
n tbe'name of the Confederare Governments, I
led ire the Parliament of the North German Con

leople. It was expected by mauy that he would
ave confessed hts participation In the awful deed
Dr which be suffered. True to bis well-known
haractcr, even on the brink of eternity he did
01 acknowledge his guilt, neither did he positively
leny it; but, In a few words, endeavored to In
olve others. At his ownslanal, he was preclpl
ited from the platform. Very Hi tie muscular
lotion was exhibited. After hanging twenty
limites, the body was examined by Drs. Hoke
nd Jones, who pronounced life extinct. In ten
ilnutes more, the body was placed in the coffin
nd n moved by his relatives. All arrangements
'ere effectively carried out. A posse of loo reso?

THE RICK CROP.-The New York Dally Bulle
n, of the 24th Instant, makes the following com?
iente on the rice crop of South Carolina and
eorgla:
Ic our issue of November 7, we published an
em on the production of rice In Georgia and
juth Carolina, lu which we stated that these two
ates would produce a crop in excess of last
ear. The basts of tuts calculation was furnished
f a prominent southern paper,which, being pnb
ihed in the rice growing region, was supposed
i be good authority for an estimate of the
?ar's crop. We have received a letter from the
mth, with the following statement, which dls
ues our estimate, but which we give for the
mefit of our readers: "The crop of Georgia and
>uth Carolina will prove a trifle short of last year.
ie grain ls very much lighter and of poorer
lallty. The crop In Louisiana ls short beyond
lestlon, and we are shipping to New Orleans
erv week. There ls a large amount of rough
:e in store in savannah, and mills are Werktag
ght and day." This statement ls from a busi?
es house in the South of high standing. It ls
moult, however, to arrive at any definite con?
iston with regard to this crop. The circular of
essrs. Willis A Chlsolm, of charleston, S. C.,
tlmates the crop for 1871 at 86,650 casks, against
i actual crop in 1870 of 97,735 casks, which crop
is estimated at 95,000, a difference tn favor of
e actual crop of 2735 casks. The circular of
essrs. Cohen, Uanckel A Co, rice factors, of
arleston, gives the estimated crop lor 1871 in
roll na at 70,000 ca- ks, and in Louisiana at 20,000,
ring a total or 90,000 against an actual crop last
ar or97,735, therebv making an estimated de
ease of 7735 casks for ihe present year.
TEE TOBACCO CROP.-This crop for the
went year promises to be mach larger than for
-.eral years past, and of much better quality,
verolnew sections of country have tried the
p?riment or raising and airing the finer kinds
leaf, and have met with fair success, particu
ly tn the northern and eastern sections of Ten
asee. lt has been generally supposed that no
illy good bright leaf tobacco could bc raised
d cured In that region, 'but the present year
s proved the contrary, as some of tue best art 1
ln this line that has been yet raised in this
in try has been sent from Eastern Tennessee
s season. The entire crop or the Midd le states
imlsestobe very fine and very large. Good
f commands high prices, and ts used almost
clrely for making natural leaf chewing tobac
and wrappers for cigars. Most of this variety,
table for these purposes, has heretofore been
led in Virginia and Kentucky, but now that we
i to havea new source or supply, the prices will
: rule as high as in former years.
leorgetown had four heavy frosts the week be

BEAST BUTLER'S BLAST.
HOW HE EBOEOSES TO SETTLE OZD
S COBBS WITH EXGLANB.
Review of Part lc s and Political Ques?
tion*-The Alabama Dispute and the
Fishery Troubles-Oar Remedy Non-'
Intercourse-England should With?
draw from the West Indies and the
Ca?adas-An Ocean-Bound Republic
the only Surety for. Peace. . s
The telegraph has already given us a very
brief outline of the extraordinary political mani?
festo given to the coantry by General B. F. Butler,
In an address delivered by hlm.at Boston, off Wed?
nesday last. The sensation which' this utterance
or the warrior-sage of New England ls making
throughout the North, justifies us in making libe
. ral extracts from the full -address, which has Just
reached us through tbe mails. HU subject, as an?
nounced, was: "The Present Relations of Par?
ties; Duty of the Republican Party to AdjUBt the
Questions with other Nations Brought out by the
Rebellion, and to Protect American Fisheries
against British Aggression."
HOW THE TWO GREAT PARTIES STAND.
General'Butler commenced his lecture by stat?
ing, that by the results or the war all party distinc?
tions und party catchwords had been abrogated,
save the single dogma, still adhered to by the
Democratic party; as to the rights of the States
as corporations in contradistinction to the rights
of the Federal Union aa a national government;
that the mission of the Republican party at home
was ended; that, asaparty.no peculiarity of doc?
trine was left to lt for its future aspirations upon
which to rally its partisans, and that its mission
at home had ended save to garner the gleanings
or Its great past; that the Democracy Iud dwin?
dled into an opposition only, while the shibboleth
or Republicanism was that the government
should not pass into the hands ol its euemlesv
ENGLAND DURING THE WAR.
Coming then to the consideration of the pres?
ent du ty oft he Republican party, he declared that
its mission was now to adjust foreign questions,
and proceeded to arraign England. He spoke as
follows:.The chief offender against the national
dignity and honor m this regard is the Govern?
ment or Great Britain. True. Imperial France
wuB quito AS early In-the recognition of the bellig?
erent rights ot the rebels, qnlte as unfriendly in tts
spirit-m ita attack upon the neighboring Kepub-1
Ho ot Mexico; but in the latter lt railed to do na
any Injury, and the former waa followed by no
'act of which we could Justly complain. No rebel
cruiser was fitted out or entertained aid refitted
in any French port. No pirate was let loose
by Napoleon -to prey, upon our commerce,
cjpon what are popularly known aa the Ala?
bama claims, 1 entertain some vlsws of
the grounds upon which they may rest differ?
ent from those usually put forth as the baals or
our grievances. I do not now, nor should I ever
propose to argue the question whether England
was too early or sufficiently late in her recogni?
tion of the belligerent rights of the South. 1 bold,
with thc President, that the queatlon or time for re?
cognizing the belligerency or contending parties ls
one to.be settled by each nation for Itself, and no
other nation has any proper ground for com?
plaint of that determination. Nor do I care to
examine whether the Alabama and Shenandoah
might or might not hat", been kept in port by
more vigilance or Increased activity ot the British
law officers, or by more stringent municipal laws.
Admit, for the sake of the argument, that m that
regard G teat Britain did each act inconformity
with the laws of nations.
THE LAW OP NATIONS VIOLATED.
Yet, it will not be denied that afterward the
Alabama and Shenandoah were received in Bri?
tish ports, their officers feted, toasted and dined,
and the vessels rtflttei', provisioned and supplied
with the necessary means of continuing their
warfare upon our commerce, which was clearly a
violation of International laws. Nor will lt be de?
nied i hat the Government of England was bitter?
ly hostile to the Union during the whole prosecu?
tion of the war, and was only restrained by her
rears or the results, and not by love of the United
States, from actively taking sides in.that contest
by acknowledging the Confederacy. No man can
doubt that her government heartily desired that
ber only successful commercial rival should be
crushed.
EFFORTS TO ORIFFLB CB,
Norean we look upon tbe consolid?t.on or ber
provinces npon the north of us into a new nation
uali?d 11 D< i o*, -from-which un checked raids
were made upon our uerenceleas borders, (while
the war was r? ging,) as other than a hostile move?
ment, designed to cripple us in case tho South
should bc successful, by creating an unfriendly
nation on the north or us, to be In accord with a
host ije nation on the South.- By the valor of oar
soldiers ann the patriotism of our people, under
the providence or God, the British Government
was disappointed In Its dearest wishes, and failed
Di its most cherished desires. The effect or what
was done and omitted to be done by Great Britain,
that as a friendly nation she ought to have done,
ls chat our commerce bas been sobs tannaby swept
from the seas; we had only tliouHunds of tons at
the clos: of the war where we had millions of tons
it the beginning. No man, even now, can cross
the Atlantic Ocean In a sea-going steamer flying
tue American flag. Another effect or the position
>f the British Government toward the Sontb, by
riving raise hopes ta the Confederacy, was to pro
ong the war, at the ex pense of millions upon
ululons of treasure, and thousands upon thoua
inds of lives.
v<t~*at~j <tCAW 0VB ACTUAL CLAIMS. '
I hat e already said I would deal with this ques' '
ion wholly Independently of the discussion of the
nere legal rights of the parties, as determined
>y public law; and I dos? upon this, among other
grounds. Whether England ftood up >n the
iplces of her legal rights, or stepped beyond them
vhen ?he made use or her power and position to
njureus, because ot her hostile spirit, can make
to difference in the amount of wrong done to us.
'he injury is as great, ir she was technically
nt bin Hie law, as if she had broken some role of
mernatlonal law, fancifully enacted by some
tudent pub.lcist In hts closet when writing a
oo?. 1 only seo that her government was hos
He, and her hostility was harmful to the United
tates, and was so intended. We claim repara
lon ror that harm done by this hostility. The
uestlon ls, how are we to enforce our rights 1
ly declaring warf By no means. Tbe United
tates will never lightly declare war. We are not
war making government; weare onlyawar
arrying-on government when war ls made upon

HOW TO BEAT A VICIOUS NEIGHBOR.
I would apply the same doctrine to nations that
would ito individuals under like circumstances.
' my neighbor takes advantage of the fact that
Is Hue iles close under my windows, to bnild a
igh fence to shut ont the light and air from my
webing, in order to show lila hostility to myself j
nd family, do 1 stop to inquire whether he has
at that fence one inch over or one inch within
ie line which divides his land from mine ? If he
is pot it one inch over,-1 may sue him la the
rarts of law. But.. there are no courts of law to I
Iju8t disputes between nations, if he has put lt
ie inch on bis own land, to gratify bis ill-will
id injure me, what is my remedy ? Simply, to
?clare him a bad neighbor, and that I will have
Dtning to do with him la the future, save
i get him out of my neighborhood if I
in, and aa soon as I can, either by cans
g him to move or by removing myself. So
ould I do with England. If she will not make
para'ion for -the wrongs done us daring the war
! her hostility, not by simply making good the
llliona that our merchants lost, but by making
>od all that the nation has lost, I would treat
ar as I should my vicious neighbor, who gave
mt to his enmity by darkening my windows- |
?lare that I would have no;hing to do wich her,
at I wonld neither buy nor sell with her, or,
ter due notice, hold diplomatic or. commercial
latlons with her henceforth until full repara?
ra ts made. Complete, thorough and stringent
m-lntercourse ls the remedy. That la not war.
lat ia not a casus belli nuder any suggestion of
e law or nations. We have the undisputed right
trade with whom we please, or to refuse to
?de with w?oiu we please.
THE RESULT OP NON-TNTHRCOUBSE.
True, Great Britain, when the government of |
lina refuse 1 to have its subjects poisoned by
iglish opium, sent a fleet and forced ihe opium
wa the throats of tbe Chinese at the menin of
r cannon ; but what publicist ever dreamed that L?
ls was done unde: any provision of interna
nal law, but only an exhibition of force? Be- i
les. China had not been admitted into the fam- Bc
of nations. When the United States decides soi
t to bny British goods until she settles the Ala- Gc
ma claims. I am willing to see Great Britain, ir Hi
B thinks best, send her fleets to oar pons to Ne
-ce us to taite her manufactures of Iron and Gc
io!. We know how to conduct a defensive war, W,
tether by sea or land. I do not deem lt either Ra
manly or unfair to say to England that she Ga

this question is settled, although such deprlva- Le

fair to declare such non-Intercourse, because Jo!
w is our opportunity Insomuch as Prussia and Pb
ince wUl be ready, In recovering from their ex- Wi
istlon, to take from us all the surplus that we Cr
re, both of cotton and food, for export, even if Jai
y become sellers of the first to England. Nor Ne
tour fault if England's d'lays in doing us Jus

outragea. The United iStatea GovernmentJ foi
ought to assume una pav au tawytnerais-oi as-1
certatned loss to the individual citizens because
of these claims. " ... . . ",'.
THE DIFFERENT CLASSES OF. WRONGS. . . ^
The magnitude or the claims by tins country,
as a n arlan, upon England, and the claims of Indi?
viduals, as Individuals, upon either government;;
-ls very different. When the individual claims,
upon the government,, be cannot make good his,
claim if, being Insured, he has been paid Insur- "..
ance, because, If his claim ts allowedUe wuTW-*
celve his pay twice. Nor can the insurer, even?UQ
he bas paid the insurance, make any cialnu.be-. -'
cause the war premiums, which he demanded for
his insuring were equal to the losses wh(ch"':1i?V
paid. ; Such lithe very theory-of-insurance; so
that ir he were paid by the government too, ho
would be twice paid. The loss has faHen upon
the merchants, who paid the war premiumyaftdr
had their commerce crippled -ny British interier
' nee, who are too scattered and too numerous to
have their losses adjusted as individual claims;'
and upon tue nation whose sovereignty and honor "
were defied and insulted.' Therefore, it seems to?
me but proper that the United States.snoald un?
dertake to remun?rate small amounts due the lu?
d? vidual claimants, and then add the amoants so
paid to lt? own great claim, to be adj as ted^try
Great Britain as a whole. j?
ENGLAND, AS REPARATION, OUGHT.TO BHMOVK ALL -
DANGER OF COLUSION IN THE FCTtJRB. r
For, after all, the great injury and wrong-is not
one to be compensated in money.' Thebeftef Td-'-'
para tion to this nation would be for-England to
remove all opportunity or cause of collision be?
tween the two countries in the future. But these ?
must always exist BO long os England his a gov-"
ernment under her control, and ror tue acts of
which she ls responsible, stretching from ocean to

. Therefore would I suggest'that that -which:
would best satisfy the people-that which would
best meet-the exlgenclesof the occasion, and th~*
which England .could part with herself f
honor, by Bhowlng?a desire to'.take am

OUR ALTERNATIVE MO JUST- CAF8S OF 'WAR.
-This, our alternative-non-Intercourse-T do '
not conceal, either from myself or-from yon, al-,
though not a Justifiable cause of war,' wocid, un?
less it led to a settlement of the difficulty, proba-'

would say, In the language of Jackson te France
"If [Great Britain] makes that occasion for hos
tliltles against the United States, she ont ad da: vi?
olence to injustice, and could not raU to expose
herself to the j nat censure of civilized nations and
the retributive Judgment of Heaven.''
OBS AT PROVOCATIONS TO "A WAB.
: Let me say nothing now or the keen sense of '
wrong and Injury Inflicted. Let me Bay notuinar?
of the rising gorge at the thought that England
took advantage of our crippled condition to.do-, .
those things to our hurt which she would not nave
dared otherwise to do. Let me say nothing now.
of the fact that what she did was done to crash a
bated commercial rival. Let me say nothing of
the fact that she hoped by her courseto demon--7
strate to mankind that the great exp^rlmemror
freedom toaU, now being wrought, out wsw.
American Government, waa a failure, and thus
In' the Interest or despotism to cruBh out all hope
of Republican liberty throghout the world. . Lefc
me Bay.nothing of the fact that her. hostile acta ?
were done in the interest of a confederacy whose
corn?r-stone was slavery, and whosa object wai
to perpetuate that slave power which the greed
of Brittuh merchants and slaveholders had fast-;
eued on our country in its Infancy.
GREAT TEMPTATIONS TO MAKE WAR. '
But I do remember and cannot Jorget that we"
have sixteen hundred thousand naturalized.
Irishmen in this country, every one eager toi
avenge the wrongs ? done his motherland, the7
Oreen Isle of the ocean, by British tyranny, which
drove him from her sou. ' 1 cannot out remember
that they require no urging to Join o ur-armies" lil
a war wlch.their oppressors, but are prevented by"
the repressive hand of our government, lp the in-,
teres t or peace and In sacred regard for our trea?
ties of amity, from making war on their own ac?
count, and that if we did not hinder them they
would take Canada by contract in six ty days. I
cannot but recall the truth that our Southern
brethren, many of the best and bravest of them?
who fought- against the government with a vain
attempt to rid themselves of the glorious memory.
of its history, are impatiently longing to Cg ht '
once more nnder the starry folds of the old flog. "
Give the nrivliege to tao brave sons of the South
to derona their country, again In a foreign war,
and specially one with Great Britain-not loved
by them any more than by us-and lt would bring
us all together again, uniting us with one flag,.
one country, and one destiny. In so much is this
reu alon the hope of the patriot, that one feels al*
most to doubt whether to achieve lt would not ber
worth all the loss of blood and treasure In such, a
war. Again, let me not forget that it would be a
wat* upon the ocean-never an expensive one
and wnere the most brilliant laurels of American
arms have been won. And I cannot fall to per?
ceive that the saving or money by the non impor
tatlon of British goud-i, and the stimulus given to
American production, would quite equal ail the
axpendttures of the war. I can never forger that
in such a war we have no commerce to lose,,
-?ul te all our ships are gone already be canee of
:ue warlike acts of England's cruisers, which we
lave se long suffered tn Insulting silence, although
nre know that we can sweep the saug
>f her commerce from the ocean. As a Re?
publican and a partisan, I cannot but remember i
hat whenever a country ls engaged in a for

dways sustained by the patriotism nf the people,
fever wonld that be so signally demonstrated aa
na defensive war with England, brought on by ,

c sui ted honor, and to maintain our ashermen In .
hose rights now taken from them by England's .
vroijgs, which their fathers won for England and '
hemseives with their own tight arms. As a party ;
dan I do uot fail to remember that of the twenty ?j

and at least are naturalized Irishmen who would
