From the Oahicnton A'ems,
Mr. Greeley at Columbas.
'1 Ik? wire being down, Mr. Groe ley's
.earning bud not been announced, and
bis sudden arrival took the good peo-
ple somewhat by surprise.
A largo number ui prominent citi-
zens culled at. the Lino lloube and
Wore introduced.
A commitleo from tho Gorman So-
ciety, lute in tho evouing, came to ask
Ins iuiendanoe, and a brief talk. In
bait' an hour afterwards, Mr. Greoley
went to the Casino, which, meantime,
l.ad° been filled by German and other
«itizons. The hall was draped with
tho blended fogs of America and
Prussia. On being introduced, Mr.
Greoley made a pertinent and im-
pressive speech of about twenty min-
utes. We can only givo a skotch.
JTe snid—
I believe the Society.* whioh bn,vo
iuvi'.ed me to say some words to thoin
on this occasion is a Gorman Society,
Without ignoring any other olass, I
ought, therefore, to speak more par-
ticularly to them. 1 might be pre-
sumed t,o bo more in sympathy with
the German than with any other na
tionality among us, as my looks will
Suggest, not to mention iny kindred
We, of Now England, havo a strong
alliance with the German people, from
similarity of characteristics. They
are hard workers—so aro they in New
England. They have tho sume per.
sistenoy and industry. Whon tboy
hoIUo in a country, we think tho land
is inado a littlo more valuable by
thoir presence and labor.

For mhoy years the'friends of ro-
nblican institutions havo been utter-
words of warning about a cer
boon built, more farms oponod to cul
tiviition than during any correspond-!pi
ing period in tho history of our; gov- in
ernment. It is truo tberé liad been
somó distr'oss. t.
After tho revolutionary war thero
wore years of doubt and strug-
gle and dos
menacing evil. Tbo tendency
among wealthy or educated men to
withdraw from politics has been ob-
served with apprehension, and its
consequences have been fr<
thoro was pov-
erty and suffering. Hope seemed to 'pointed out. Not only have intelli-
have fled. They said, if we have gent and far-seeing Amoricans per.
gone through a seven,, year's war for jceived nnd announoed this danger,
this, where is the recompense ? But,¡but well-wishers among foreigners,
when the Federal Constitution had {like the Frenchman J~ """—
been accepted,and had made tho com-
mon law of tbo whole country, every
tbin_
whie
i
Texas the Gorman element is the
most valuable in the State. Their
energy, industry and thrift soon make
ih.emsolvee felt. 1 am glad to hear
tiiis testimony—not from Germans,
but from other citir.ens.
Our fellow-citizens in this country
well na in your Fathorlnnd have
suffered groat overturns and convul-
sions. Í havo been in sympathy with
<<ur American nationality, as you have
been with German nationality—every
part of it.
Wo bolieve tho whole greator than
n part. After a struggle unproco
dented in hi,story, and which has con-
vulsed Europe, tho German Confed-
eration, or Bund, has been replaced
by u perfcct nationality,—ndt includ-
iug ail tho German population, it is
true, just cu ourt does not embrace
nil the English speaking people of
America; but one which is destined,
ultimately, to bring all into one com
pact nationality.' All our North
American people will ultimately be
tomo oriü; so I would not put forth a
rash hand to force into our national
ity unwilling communities upon our
Northern border. I would not have
the German government resort to co-
ercive measures to absorb in thoir
nationality people, whose interests or
inclinations may be opposed to tho
prcent alliance
The lessons and events of the last
few ye.ira have beon very much alike
in Germany and America. 1 have
no funlt, now to find with tüe mon in
cither country, who conscientiously
and honoiitly, as they claimed to be
and as they actod, for the part they
took in tho great struggle, now hap-
pily passed away. Neither of tbem
yore successful j but in our land no
part had a more vital interest in tho
prísorvutioti of the government than
the Southern part. How the people
of Now Orleans, and Louisiana over
could have beon brought to consent,
or wish to seo a boom placed across
tbo Mississippi river, and the vast
products of the Northwest, which had
floated to them upon its groat bosom,
turned to flow across tho Alleganies
to New "York, Philadelphia and Bos
ton—to neo established two linos of
Custom Houses, and of military forts
with two linos of hostile bayonets
confronting each other, and bristling
•'¿long tho border could not bo imag-
ined. ¡'¿nchjan iJoaJcould never have
occurred, but for tho blinding influ-
ence of American slavery. Such an-
other conflict can never occur again.
On this, 1 presume, wo ore ono in
sentiment. Now that slavery has
passed away, tho possibility of such
oggurrencos have, Í trust, forever dis-
appeared.
Who, he asked, doe* not feel an
finest pride in the magnificent pro;
portions of this country, stretching"
it i arms from ocean, to ocean, and
from the frozea bordor of the North
almost to tho tropics, and one flag
floating over a common country, em-
bracing tho humblest as well as tho
most exhaltod in the protection of its
ptarry folds? The proudest sensation;
6f his life was, whon after toiling
ftomeward from tho East, and having
wearily passed the lust lino of cliffs
which separated him from tho ocean,
he looked down upon d long line of
National ships with the flag of liis
country floating above the fleot. No
eight could havo inspired the emo-
tions which ho then felt, in contem-
plating , the insignia of our united,
powerful and prosperous country.
Uvery day was muking fewer and
wonker the, men who cherish any
other sentiment. Then, sincó' the
aauaos of dissension have passed
away, may we not hone, he askod,
that a better day for all soctions or
©tfr common country hns dawnéd,
never more to be dimmed or clouded ?
He had found some disposition in
the,local papers, not in the peoplo, to
/asIt, to cavil, and to predict dis-Jsir, _. ,
aster. <)l th« contrary, the oountrj-' don't you pity •
UVd'ce^or j{rA'«,u'ar:d proipovol-as it: read r'
was changed. The finances,
bad been dopresaed, were re-
stored to a healthy state. Spoaking
of Hamilton at this time, Daniel
Webstor said: " bo touched the dead
corpse of the public credit, and it
sprang into lite." Hope succeeded
despondency, life, energy and activity
to torpor, weukne.HS, and death. Old
things passed awaj', and all things
woro mado new, bccuUso tho consti-
tution gave " a more parfeot govern
ment," and inspired confidence and a
sense of security, the basis of all
prosperity. So with the last war, the
main incidents of which he still re-
membered. We then passed through
a season of very great embarrass-
moutand distress. Every other man,
almost, bad his property seized for
debt, and sold by the sheriff—not to
any great advuntago oithor. Con-
gress, however, passed those well-ro
mom bored tnoasuros for the protec
lion of home products and for Amer-
ican labor. Under this now policy,
which diversified industry nnd cov-
ered the country with manufactures,
an impulse was given to all brancbos
of business; new hope was inspired,
and a careor of unexampled greatness
opened up for tho wholo country. Ho
believed our peoplo bad received a
fostering caro from tho Government
greater than that extended to any
other people on earth. Thoro had
been greater prosperity, more equal-
ity in tho administration of the laws
during the past fívé years than for
any similar period ih our history. So
believing in tllé right of the Govern-
ment to p'ro'tcCt tho people by gener-
al legislation, and in tho success of
our system of government, bo com-
mended to tbem an abiding faith in
the future of the Republic. It had
boon said the Gormons were foarful
they would now loso their liberties,
but"the men who had conquered Na-
poleon wero ablo to presorvo them
when tho time came. So the fear had
been expressed that their own gov-
ernment would war upon tho liber-
ties of the people. He bad no such
apprehension. General Grant would
loso all power of ovil as soon as any
atuch attempt was made. That fear,
whether sincerely or captiously cher-
ished, might be forever dismissed.—
When Mr. Lincoln was assassinated,
the people of Europe all ojepoeted the
final crash had como, "2fow,"said
tlioy, "
liocos
whole people felt the Jilow," but
American securities were not de-
ceased two per cent, by that start
ing event. So in tbo ovent of any
disaster to General Grant, oroiio.akin
to that which camo to Johnson's ad-
ministration, there lieod bo no appro
(tension. The American peoplo are
too well educated, are too strong,
considerato and wise to bo carriod
away by any such occurrences.
German liberty was equally secure,
bocauso founded on constitutional
guaranties, and in tho intelligence
nnd virtue of the peoplo. Should
King William attempt any infringe
ment of tho rights of the German
people, he would soon find himself
joworloss. So be, Mr. Greeley, took
lope. We had Poland, to warn us
against the weakoning o fleets of cen-
tral anarcby. The hiHtory of our
own country was full of hope. Wo
shnll go on, notsacrifioing liberty, but
defending it, and placing new safe-
guards around the freedom already
won. There will bo more public-
schools, more attention to public af
fairs; wo shall be better and better
governed, and ttion progress to the
end of time. 1 stand bore, an old
man, with tho memories of a long
and busy life, and acquaintance with
>ublic oonccrns, and believing in a
vise Providence over frunifrm affairs,
~ would say to the young men around
mo, believo in your country, your
i, de Tocquevitle,
and the Englishman, Mill, have dwelt
upon it with earnestness and solici-
tude. Those observers bave felt how
impossiblo it is for a Government to
bo bettor than those wno make it ;
!Sow,!

" Ho was a good man; the
wholo .óptfntry, and thus believing,
give to her your best energies to pro-
tect, defend and prosper her, and all
shalltbe well. With these hasty ro?
mark's, and thanking you for your
warm greeting, nnd respectful atten-
tion, 1 bid you farowell.
Tbo expenditures ¡of tho! British
Government, even in time of peace,
for war purposes, including interest
on the national debt contracted main-
ly for war, are about 85 per cent, of
its total iucomo, leaving only 15 por
oetit. for other purposes. When
money is wasted in thit way, it is no
wonder that the poor people are taxed
to suoh an ostent that they suffer for
the want of the nocesaaries of life.
As long as the standing armies of
Christondora number over 5,000,000
of mon thero must be sufferingon the
part of the poor who have to support
both tHomsolvo# and tli6so standi
armies. _

and have realised, as a oonsequonce,
that in the measure wborein political
power fell into the exclusive poi
sion ef !ko lo\r. r Strata of BOfjTety,
corruption nnd weabnees must sure-
ly ensue, and freo institutious be pro-
portionably endangered.
It is now pretty generally acknowl-
edged that tbo peril so long dreaded,
if not absolutely upon us, is close at
hand. Matters bave gone from bad
to worse for a long time, at first by
imperceptible degrees, but lattorly
with an acceleration that tells of ai
proachingcatastropho. Thisremar
ofcourso, lefors to New York; broad-
ly and gonorally to bor State Legisla-
turo, conspicuously and shamefully to
her chief city. Fow intelligent peo-
plo, of whatever party, now deny that
ocal mis-government has reached a
joint altogether unparalleled in the
listory of the Republic, or that it
forebodes results, as in those other
republics of antiquity, which may
prove destructivo if not ruinous.—
This being the case, various sugges-
tions are hoard in tho way of reme-
dy. Some proposo to simplify the
political mnchinory; some to return
to hodsehold suffrage; some, while
leaving the vote to all who now pos-
sess it, to deny its future attainment
to all who have not certain aligned
qualifications. The danger that threat-
ens us is partly measurable, in fact,
by animated discussion of tho subject
which is heard in nearly evory intel-
ligent circle. When suoh a discus-
sion has become all but universal, it
is clour that it is no longer thought
to bo merely academical, but that it
has assumed a practical importance.
Now, wbother we aro to go hack
and undo what was done in 1846 or
not, whether wo aro to remove things
old or to deviso things now, thore is
one truth about which there can be
no disputo; and it is, that just so
surely as present mischiefs have
sprung in a great degree from the
withdrawal from political duty of tho
wealthy and cultivated classes, so
surely must the remedy spring from
their return, to it. Tbo men of prop-
erty nnd tho mon of thought must sot
thoinsolvos to tbo work done by thcir
fathers one or two generations ago.
They must take an octiye and persis-
tent share in legislation. They must
give time and money to the work,
employing both iu such ways as wis-
dom may nuggest. As to what those
ways shall be, opinions, of courso,
may difl'er. But there can be no dif-
ferenco as to the imperative need for
action. Tho persouul labor and in-
fluence of tho affluent and educated
olasses is the truo motive power to
bring about reform ; and without this
thoro is no panucea or specific by
which reform can be brought about.
To got the bes.t attainable Govern-
ment, wo must have the help of the
best peoplo In tbo community.
This help may bo given in various
forms. The regular exorcise of the
suffrage should,'of oourso, be one of
tfioni. Tbo promotion of intelligent
debate, the dissemination of heaitby
moral and political truths, the educa-
tion, in a word, of the masses, is an
other. When every man ot brains
and substance makes Up his mind to
do bis utmost for the good end, that
end will not bo long postponed. The
very faot that such a movement, or
concerted series of movements, bad
beon determined upon by our first
merobants, lawyers, bankers, and otb
er leading citizens, and would be
pushed rosolutoly to conclusions,
wouid be equivalent toalmosthalf the
battle. And herein, wo repeat, is our
only safety and remedy; nostrums
and palliatives without end may be
proscribed, but the only truo cure for
our political disease is the restoration
of thoso olemonts of health tbo with*
drawul of which rondored disease pos-
sible.—N. Y. Times.

"Vegetable leather" is a material
which so closoly resomblos the natu-
ral product that ft is only by aotual
examination that the difference can
be fu^lértáijjied. Caoutohouo and
naphtha are used jn its manufacture;
but by a process which we have never
soon described, all odor is removed
from the naphtha, and the smell of
vegetable leather is rendered thoreby
less in strength, if anything, than that

book binding, ooveriog library tables,
and like purposes. Among other ad

Naw York, May 28.—The Tr\

side, and although the sánotion of tbo
Senate was confidently oxpeoted,
tbpre was a great dpal of. aqxie

that the treaty has to be ratified tbero
as well as bore, and that nubljo opin-
ion must be consulted in Tünglana no
less than in Amerioa. So far as tbo
ministry was qoncerned, iheirappro-
val was 6tire. The Ehgtisb «¿minis-
sioners wero in oonstant consultation
by cable with their govornment, and
wbatover was agreed to by them had
been accepted in advaneo by the Eng-
lish cabinot. On the other band, tbo
conservative party in England have
been far from imitating the Domo-
cratio party hero. Tboy have ab-
stained from any attempt to make
party capital out of a question vita
to the peaoe of the two nations, and
1 will venture toprediot that thó con-
servative minority in the House of
Commons will not be found voting
against a ratification of tbo treaty.—
Prom one of its provisions they may
dissont, but nothing is moro unlikely
than a party division on a subjoot
which contains no element of party
poiitios. During the laBt few days 1
spent in London I saw and talked
with two members of the cabinet,
especially in tores tod in Anglo Amer-
ican questions, and with many other
members of Parliament; including
some of thoso radical-liberals, whose
opposition to tho government has
mado itsolf strongly felt during the
session, and with some leading journ-
alists whoso opinions, to say tho least,
ure of equal weight with those whioh
one gathers in tbo house. Everybody
with whom I talkod expressed with-
out any qualification bisdesiro for tbo
ratification of the treaty of tho Sen-
ate, and his belief that its acceptance
in England was certain.

C
whether for instance the expression
of rogrot for the escape of tlie Ala-
bama exoited any repugnance. Cer-
tainly not, was the answer, we are
sorry, and why should wo not say so ?
It-is nothing which one goutleman
should not'say to another.
1 asked again about tbo inferential
recognition to liability for the escapé
of the Alabama.
It is Very strong, answered one
prominent member of the house; 1
think ovon stronger against us than
if we had expressly admitted our lia-
bilities, for we allow an arbitration
to judge of our conduct by a rule
that is sure to convict us. It is tan-
tamount to saying that wo have here-
tofore resisted, on technical grounds,
a claim to which we had no moral
defense.
1 suppose it is scarcely nooessary to
say that the Alabama clauso is re-,
gnrded in England as a surrender to
us of all' tbat we ever havo claimed.
On tbo other hand tboy look upon
our taoit abandonment of the claim
on acoount of tbo recognition of oon
federate belligoronoy by England as
an important concession.
Most of tho unreasonable Irritation
aroused by Sumner's speech was due
to the urgency with which he prásned
that claim, and tho fact that it might
have been pressed under tbo Claren
don convention, was one great roason
why tho English professed to be eon*
tent with the failuro of that conven-
tion.
1 askod again and again this qu#?
tion -. Assuming, as both do, that tho
treaty will bo ratified on both sidos,
what will bo tho result in England ?
Is it a settlomont which you accept a
a means of being rid, at a high price,
of a troublesome and dangerous com
plication, but which is to leave behind
a lasting regret and resentment; or
is it a settlement which you accept
most cordially, nnd which you believo
and moan shall bo followed on your
part by a hearty friendship, snob as
ought to exist between tho two na<
tions? ...
Tho answer was invariably tho
same : wo raako the treaty iu good
faith and accept it cordially. Wo
iiuil it as án omon of cordial good will
hereafter on both sides. If it ís.ro-
accepted in the same spirit in Amer-
ica, we bolievo it marks an epoch in
tho history of the English speaking
raco. _
