Tli Execution of Maximilian.
from the Tribune.
It it be true, aa our despatches affirm, that
Maximilian has been shot, then the Liberals
if Mexico have stained with unnecessary
.. erueltv the young Republic bo 'gloriously
,' jstabliahed. Gloriously, we say, for the per
' siatent courage of the Mexican Republicans in
the attempt to overthrow the Empire has not
f many parallels. The Mexicans were divided,
'-. tmd In the early part of the war the Republi
cans were merely rebels, insurgents, the rem-
" aant of a State, thrown against the borders of
i- America, and prepared at any moment to
,'" escape to our territory. With What energy
and trustfulness, with what unpausing vigor
the little Republio fought the French, the Bel
' glans, the Austrians, and even domestio ene
:. , rules like Ortega and Santa Anna, the history
('. of the last few years will tell. Juarez shows
- what perseverance combined with courage may
" do, for Juarez, after all, was the leading spirit
in the war. lie was the ablest of the Mexican
chiefs, and his triumphs have been worthy of
' Jiis cause.
We trust we do not speak offensively of
Mexico when we say that but for the United
States this triumph might have been doubtful.
America was always with Juarez. Resolu
tions of sympathy were popular in our legis-
' lative assemblies. Napoleon was regarded as
an intruder, and the popular feeling demanded
' his expulsion. When Austria proposed to
. reinforce Maximilian, the Government directed
our Minister to protest and withdraw. Aus
tria, with Prussia menacing her, and cadowa
looming up, desisted. When Ortega attempted
, to cross the Rio Grande and oppose Juarez, he
was arrested by Sheridan. The moral senti
' xnent of America was so earnest, and the de-
wands of our Government so pressing, that
Napoleon was compelled to evacuate so hastily
that hia retreat was virtually a humiliation.
, To America, therefore, more than any other
agency, Mexico owes her freedom. As allies,
We ventured to implore Mexico to be generous
in her triumph. This Voice has not been
heeded. Perhaps, owing to Mr. Seward's cir
cumlocution, it was never heard. This re
mains to be known. Certain it is that in spite
of the prayer of the American nation for the
life of Maximilian, he has been executed.
We regard this execution as a disaster to
Mexico. Whatever may be said of his imperial

t' lightened prince. . When Austria made him
vtiuimw Af hai Italln-n TvATiiluiB ha txrft a an
- generous towards conquered Lombard ana
: Venice that he was recalled. In : Mexioo such
a rule as was permitted to him showed a pro
rgressive statesmanship., lie was an aooom
" plished gentleman.' The end of bis life shows
" that he was a brave and self-denying soldier.
'. To take such a man, a prisoner, in broad day,
and shoot him, merely because he had been
, unfortunate in war, is a blunder. To do so in
. defiance of the civilized world is a crime. To
America it is an insult. ; We merely ask the
poor boon of this helpless, unfortunate young
man's life, and it is denied. We gave Mexico
" national triumph, and in return she spurns
' even our counsels of mercy. 1
We feel this more keenly because of our
" treatment of Jefferson Davis. We had a class
of people here who insisted that war was not
,'. complete until we had hanged a man a poor
', old man of sixty. Like the cannibals of Africa,
the only fruits of their victory were the wasted
-' bodies of their enemies. The clamor was so
loud that even wise men bowed their heads
and joined in it. At one time it was feared
that our triumphant and glorious war would
,' be dishonored by a gallows. But the better
i sense of people prevailed, and the leader of one
of the greatest Rebellions in history was set
; free. How much nobler in the eyes of the
. world will America appear with Davis free
than Mexioo with this dead body of an
" amiable and unfortunate prince. Is Davis
living any more dangerous than Maximilian
dead ? Is America weaker than Mexico because
of this magnanimity T Rather does not Maxi-.
xnilian's name receive a glory from the cfo
cumstances of his death which Davis may
- have reason to envy ? The worst we can do
f with a traitor is to make a martyr of him; and
1 Maximilian, bereft of crown, sceptre, king
dom, army nay, even of his wife and his
I native heritage driven from his capital, con
( quered and betrayed, could wish nothing more
than the chance to show the world that he
' could die tike a soldier and a prinoe. Mexioo
- has gained nothing by this exeoution. Maxi
i xuilian would have gone into obscurity. She
has made him a hero. Juarez, we see, states
) that the clamor for the execution of Maxi-
- milian was so great he could not resist it.
The statesman who governs by clamor is a
coward. If Juarez permitted this act against
'; his better judgment, we have no assurance
that he may not be again controlled in great
' emergencies.
It is not pleasant to speak thus of Juarez
or pf a nation with which we are in sympa
thy. But Mexico to-day has lost one-half of
the moral value of her triumph by shooting
the Austrian prince. At the same time we
may also see that so much as Mexico has lost
we have gained by our own generosity and
magnanimity in the case of Jefferson Davis.
Mr. Johmon'i two Pilgrimage A
entering Contract.
''prom the Herald.
We congratulate Mr. Johnson upon having
arrived at the National Capital with Mr.
Seward's seal still unbroken upon his lips
upon having passed triumphantly through the
temptation of Beveral assemblages in several
cities, never uttering anything but the merest
-mmntiTilaftflB. and without beintt Euilty of a
elngle speech that could even be tortured into
a political policy. lie has wisely followed the
advice we gave when he started upon his tour.
There was a moment when we trembled for
' the result, fearing that his efforts to hold his
f tongue would lead to a greater evil than that
"hla silenoe was intended to avoid. We feared
hia fate might be that of the Klliver Ollsworth,
which, as Is well known, "biled her buster"
on the Connecticut river. At that moment
'we intimated that there were things more to
1e feared than a bad speech, and urged him
not to make an exhibition of good Bense at too
creat cost to his comfort.
We advised that he should sacrlnoe suon a
Vanity as men's good opinion rather than a
thing so precious as mental satisfaction; and
We even pointed out the topio he should treat,
if any, and the kind or treatment 01 u mat
would do least harm a speech namely reite
rating the views of that excellent veto message
in waiok he said that the Military bill gave
aVmolnte Dower. But he
i.oa cmttn hntii without utterance, and that
is all the better. If he sees reason to regret
h!a silence, or still feels in the lea&t uneasy,
THE DAILY
we advise that he should set the hoarded viala
of his wrath in order, and label them nicely,
to the end that he may discharge them with
Ht'pct in a stinging message to Congress at the
July session. i
The country will agree with us that the
contrast between the Chicago trip and this
Boston trip is one of good cheer. For all those
savage diatribes that bandying of unworthy
epithets those disgraceful scenes, which
every memory will recall we have here only
pleasant parties and welcome; and in all the
speeches it is the indicative mood that prevails.
Ihere are some interjections the President
had pome wonder to express but it was an
amiable wonder. He was surprised, agree
ably, of course, to find that there was no
"acrimony, "no bitterness, no ill-will nothing,
perhaps, that might force from him savage ob
jurgation. ' We do not know whether this
wonder of his was quite polite. We are not
sure but it indicated a dim suspicion that the
Downeasters, unused to getting hold of a
man of his mettle, would come together and
dine on him, like the Cannibal Scythians, in
the expectation that they would be endowed
with the great qualities of him they ate.
Whatever his thoughts were, it remains on
record that the President was exceedingly sur
prised ; to find the Downeasters a civil and
decent people. We may doubt whether His
frequent expression of this surprise was quite
polite; still it is a surprise with which the
country at large will feel a certain sympathy;
and we are sure that the fact that his expres
sions on this point were the strongest he made
during his pilgrimage, will be the source;of the
highest gratification to the whole American
people. . '
Senator Wad on Capital and Labor
What II Say In Kansas and What
Ha Thlnki at Horn. '
From the THmes,
We have published from the Cincinnati
Commercial a report by a correspondent of a
visit to "Ben Wade at home," which will be
found entertaining and instructive. The prin
cipal object of the article is evidently to bring
the distinguished statesman properly forward
as a candidate for the Presidency; and the
forms usually adopted in such oases are duly
observed. We have all the details of the per
sonal appearance, domestio habits, and pecu
liar tastes of Mr. Wade; his early life and ex
perience, his hopes, struggles, and successes,
given in full, and with that peculiar zest
known only to the skilled and experienced
trainer of Presidential candidates.
Mr. Wade is, of course, as all candidates for
office are, a "self-made man." His first great
struggle was with algebra, pages of which he
would read over and over again "fifty times"
without being able to make anything whatever
of them. Last summer he studied with the
same care "Caisar's Campaigns," and his
chronicler remarks, with reference to the labor
expended upon that Subject, that "Mr. Wade
ought to and no doubt does understand the cam
paigns of Caesar.". -He rises at daylight,
makes the fires, goes to the stable to look after
his horses, reads his letters and answers some;
is very fond of "Nasby," committed Mother
Goose to memory when that classic was pre
sented to him, and tries to get somebody to
laugh with him, as he "don't like to laugh
alone." He cannot eat anything cooked in
grease, and "the sight of butter almost turns
his stomach" (we are quoting, it will be re
marked); and in spite of the many attempts
that are made to deceive him, his unerring
sagacity never fails to detect grease in his
food, and he refuses to eat 1
But we do not care to follow farther, inte
resting as they are, the details of Senator
Wade's domestio life and habits. One object
of his visiting correspondent was to find out
what he meant by his speech in Kansas on the
relations of capital and labor, and a good
share of his letter is accordingly devoted to
that subject.
The only report made of that speech wa3
made by a correspondent and attache of the
Times, who first telegraphed its substance and
then gave its points more fully in a letter,
both of which were published in the Times.
The Hartford Evening Press states that "Sena
tor Wade has written a letter saying that the
New York Times reporter who reported a
speech of his in Kansas purposely misunder
stood him," and Forney's Philadelphia Press
speaks of it as a "false and malicious report."
Both these statements are utterly untrue. Mr.
Wade has written no letter at all; nor does he,
in the conversation reported by the correspon
dent of the Commercial, impugn the accuracy
of the report. He speaks of it as "garbled,"
which means nothing at all, except that it was
not a verbatim report and while he asserts
that the editor of the Times "purposely mis
understands" him (a process we certainly do
not comprehend), he says nothing whatever of
the reporter.
In that speech Mr. Wade said precisely
what our reporter represented him as having
said. In a subsequent conversation with him,
after reading the report and our comments
upon it, Mr. Wade complained of the latter,
but admitted the substantial accuracy of the
report itself. Our correspondent heard dis
tinctly what the Senator said, and took special
pains to repeat it correctly; and his under
standing of it was precisely that of the other
menbers of the party who heard it and made
comments upon it.
The following are paragraphs irotn that
speech, embodying what Senator Wade did
say on these subjects:
Air. Wade then said that as he had kept in
advance ot the people in the great strife be
tween freedom and slavery-, lie meant to do the
same thing In the content which had just com
menced lor extending the right of suffrage to
women. He wan umi tiallfledly la favor of equal
rights for all, not only without regard to nation
ality and color, but without regard to aex. He
repeated that he intended to keep In advance
of the nfini on this bubiect. and that he was
now ready to take another Jump forward, If
necessary, in Hi view rt&uiuuuBii upuu mm
and another questions was righteousness, while
conservatism wua hypocrisy and cowardice.
The conservative was a mere llckspltle and
hanger-on; he was not only willing to be tram
pled In the dus but was willing to remain
there.
Senator "Wad then proceeded to nay that
there was another queutlon upon which he
would express his views, although his hearers
might d!fler from him in opinion. We had dis
posed of the question of shivery, and now that
of lubor and capital must pass through the
ordeal. The shadow of the approaching strng
ele between these twonmm intnrAatii was al
ready upon us, and it would do no good to turn
. our bucks upon the question. It must be met.
Properly was not equally divided, and a more
equal distribution of capital must be wrought
out. That Congress which had done so much
for the slaves, cannot quietly reearri the terri
ble distinction between the ro.ua who labors
and him that doesjnot. (Applause). 'If you
dullbeuds,' said the speaker, oan't see this, the
women will, and will act accordingly.' it will
not be long before the laborers will demand of
canvussers, upon the eve of an election, What
will you do for us V and they will have a satis
factory answer. It Is not right or Just that any
man should be compelled to labor until life
li worn out and being Is a curse. The Al
mighty did not lnteud that this should he
the case, nor Will It always remain no.
More leisure must be given to tho peo
ple for mental acoompllHhmenUi, and labor

julsblon. Hlnoe they had fulled to eu'eot this
rebult. Here, in Kansas, said the speaker,

pl shed by rail n distance which would havn
taken a year to traverse hy the old mode of
conveyance. He concluded by thanking the
people of Lawrence for the cordial weloome
and kindly courtesies they had extended to the
party he represented." ,
Now, while the letter of the Commercial's
correspondent is used by the ultra radical
supporters of Mr. Wade to discredit this re
port, and is made the pretext for an absolute
and sweeping denial of its aocuracy, the letter
itself contains nothing of the sort. Mr. Wade
said nothing that can be twisted into such a
denial. On the contrary, the letter confirms
the substantial accuracy of the report. The
Senator repeats in the conversation what he
said in the Lawrence speech.
Mr. Wade at Lawrence said, now that
slavery has been destroyed Congress must
next "grapple with the terrible distinction
that exists between the man that labors and
him that does not." The laborers, he said,
"will soon demand of candidates on the eve of
an election, what will you do for us J and they
will have a satisfactory answer." He denounced
it as neither just nor right that men should be
compelled to labor all their lives. Upon this
subject as upon all others, radicalism he said
was righteousness, while conservatism was
hypocrisy and cowardice; and he meant on
this subject, as he had always done on others,
to "keep in advance of the people." These
were his statements at Lawrence of the nature
of the coming struggle whioh must be met
which it was hypocrisy and cowardice to try to
shun, and which would speedily demand the
action of Congress; and he added, as a further
statement of the evil and a suggestion of the
cure, that "property was not equally divided,
and a more equal distribution of capital must
be wrought out."
We regarded and treated this as a declara
tion that the Senator was in favor of a "more
equal distribution of capital." We oannot see
even now what other meaning could be at
tached to it. But Senator Wade now denies
that he advocated any such distribution of pro
perty; and gives some very excellent reasons
why it should not be made. Nevertheless, he
repeats all he said at Lawrence about the
coming struggle between capital and labor,
about the terrible condition of the laborer.
and the absolute necessity of elevating his i
vfuuiuuu uu giving mm a snare in me pro
ceeds of his labor. And when asked how
this is to be brought about, he confesses that
he "don't know;" he "can't solve it;" he has
many ideas on the subject, but none "worthy
of so great a subject." He thinks, on the
whele, the principle of cooperation about as
good as anything at least it ia "as far as he
has got."
We submit that Mr. Wade in this does not
come up to his, own pledge of "keeping ahead
of the people." He is not even ahead of us
for we have advocated the principle of co
operation for years, wherever it can be properly-
and profitably applied. And he evi
dently shrinks in this matter from the "radi
calism" which he declares to be righteous
ness, and falls baok for safety on the conser
vatism which he deolares to be "hypocrisy
and cowardice."
We are glad to see even this evidence of
sanity and sense on the Senator's part. But
why should he fill the publio mind with the
clamor and confusion ef a great struggle on a
subject concerning which he confesses his
utter ignorance f Why parade and exaggerate
evils for which he says he knows no remedy f
It is only demagogues, selfish hunters after
office through reckless and unscrupulous ways,
that thus disturb the publio peace without
definite object or aim. He did all in his
power to rouse the national feeling against
slavery but he did that with a distinct and
practical purpose; he knew a remedy for the
evil, and he attained it. But why should he
rouse the laboring classes against the property
and capital of the country, when he confesses
that he knows no cure for the inequalities that
exist f This is the work of a demagogue, of
an incendiary, and not of a statesman.
The truth is, the evils depiotedin such glar
ing colors are in this country mainly imaginary.
Laborers here can make themselves sharers in
the property of the country can become capi
talists themselves just as nine in ten of all
the capitalists in the country have done so
before them by industry, frugality, and in
telligent enterprise. And it always has been,
is now, and always will be, impossible to pro
vide any other means of getting rich by force
of law, consistently with the existence of
society.
The Great Celebration at Rome.
From the World.
The imposing soenic aspects of the august
ceremonies now in progress in the Eternal
City are rather topios for description than
discussion. Even the few outlines received
through the ocean telegraph convey a lively
sense of the almost oppressive gorgeousness
of the occasion, and the mails will bring us
graphic accounts of a celebration solemn and
magnificent enough to allure the best descrip
tive pens of the age to the fullest exertion
of their powers. Awaiting the letters which
Mr. Hurlbut will send the JFbrM from Rome,
we conoern ourselves, at present, with these
august pomps no further than to cast an in
quiring glance in search of their significance.
This revival, on a scale of unwonted mag
nificence, of an ecclesiastical gorgeousness
which has for some ages been falling into
desuetude what does it betoken T Is it a
mere idle pomp, a display oi meaningless
splendor which amuses the imagination but
touches none of the deeper chorda of the heart,
or it is a veritable sign of the times symptom
atic of a relapse of religious feeling towards
the venerable and imposing usages of the
middle ages r If this great ceremonial were
an isolated fact, if it would not thus challenge
inquiry and conscript our thoughts to search
in pursuit of its meaning. But it is not an
Isolated phenomenon. It has been preceded,
and is accompanied, by exhibitions of kindred
and associated tendencies whioh compel us to
ask whether a great reactionary mnvamant is
not in progress in tne religious thought of
me miie. iuuun me Kinarea facts we will
mention only the "ritualism," which is
making such progress as to have been for
some time a leading topio of publio discussion.
The fact that there are numerous minds, in
cluding many of great culture and refine
ment, whose religious cravings are Inns and
less satisfied with the unadorned simplicity of

gions life, and towards forms by whioh the
senses and the imagination are made tribu-
tary to devotional susceptibilities. (These
mutually opposing tendencies toward irre
ligion on the one side and ritualism on
the other, are natural counterparts resulting
perhaps from different but equally one-sided
modes of viewing the universe. Religion is 1
rather a want of the affections than of the in
tellect. The chief guarantee of its perpetuity
is the deep need felt by a large class of minds
of the support and repose whioh they find in
the exercise of religions emotions. Even if
cold dry reasoners conld demonstrate ever so
clearly the falsity of this or that system of
belief, they would not thereby extinguish this
deep-felt want of human nature, aud a crop of
new religions weuld spring up to replace those
which had been exploded. Religion rerts on
irrepressible cravings of the human heart,
and it can no more be banished from
the world than can muBio, or poetry,
or ornamental architecture, or elegant
apparel. While nobody would care to
vouch for the permanence of any particu
lar school of poetry or art, or any fashion
of dress, nobody can doubt that poetry, art,
and personal aiornmentj will last as long as
the human race. The science which rejects
religion because it finds flaws in some parts
of the evidence of some particular faith, is
as narrow, as fragmentary, as one-sided as is
the pietism which cannot tolerate the bold
spirit of inquiry which is the breath of
science. The present age furnishes con
spicuous examples of both these forms of
narrowness; and while, on the one hand,
we find men of science treating religion
with scarcely suppressed contempt, we see
on the other a tendency to withdraw religion
from the domain of the intellect, and an
chor it in the imagination and feelings. Each
of these extremes.is a phenomenon deserving
the most careful study. ' They are probably
disjointed parts of what should be a har
monious whole. Devotees need to borrow
something from the bold searching
spirit of science, and philosophers
need to recognize in the religious element of
human nature a subject quite as worthy of
patient and profound investigation as the
laws of the physical universe. Ritualism is
like a maiden who is ready to elope with her
lover rather than not have him, and science
acts like a guardian who dooms her to per
petual singleness because he is dissatisfied
with her suitor. She may be wayward, but
he is the more unreasonable, for human nature
has cravings which can no more be extin
guished than can the affinity of oxygen for
the alkaline metals. And of these strong
human affinities the cravings of the religious
instincts are among the most powerful and indestructible.
' Between the extremes of ritualism and skep
ticism, one of which asserts the claims of the
intellectual, and the other of the emotional
part of our nature, there lies a body of in
quirers who combine these conflicting tenden
cies of the age, and deserve to be regarded as
its more symmetrical representatives. . Recog
nizing alike the reality of religion and the
methods of Bcience, they are carrying into the
former the same force, freshness, and inde
pendence of thought which have achieved
wonders in the latter. Historical and biblical
criticism and rational psychology are ad
vancing by strides almost as gigantio as those
of physical science, and the faith of advanced
communities is probably on the eve of a trans
figuration as refulgent as the light which
modern science has poured over nature. The
emotional tendencies of the human heart,
their modes of action, and the laws of their
development, are as worthy subjects of inves
tigation as any which can engage the study
of superior minds. The further these inquiries
are prosecuted the more it will probably be
seen that the sources of religion, like those of
poetry and art, but in a greater degree than
poetry and art, lie in parts of our nature
which the processes of simple intellect are as
inadequate to analyze as the science of hy
draulics is to account for what in the cataract
of Niagara we call its sublimity. There are
aspects of things perceptible only by the emo
tional sensibilities, and which the mere intel
lect cannot detect. The office of the intellect
in reference to these is not so much a contem
plation of the exciting objects as of the excited
sensibilities, and of the laws according to which
they operate. We surmise that religious
truth will at last be found to resemble poetical
truth, as consisting in conformity to oertain
emotional requirements rather than invulne
rability by the logio of the understanding. We
have all felt a thousand times that some pas
sage poetically true is physically false. Take,
for example, these powerful lines from Byron's
description of a thunder-storm in the Alps:
"Far along
From peak to peak the rattling crags among
Leaps the live thunder I not from one lone
cloud,
But every mountain now hath found a tongue.
And Jura answers, through her misty shroud,
Back to the: Joyous Alps, who call to her
aloud!"
This is nobly true as addressed to the
imagination, but the mere realistio intellect
would fling it out as false and incredible. A
naturalist will tell you that the thunder was
not alive; that it did not leap; that the moun
tains had. nut tongues and did not shout to each
other through the mist. And from his point
of view the naturalist is right. But the poet
is also right, and despite his fictions, nay, by
the aid of his fictions, he conveys a much
truer conception of the terrifio sublimity of the
scene he describes than could have been given
in the strict language of science. There are
minds gifted to see the devotional aspect of
things as great bards are gifted to Bee their
poetical side. We can afford to lose neither
the poetical nor the religious view because
they are beyond the ken of the mere mathe
matician and physicist, any more than we are
bound to dispense with inusio because the
science of acoustics does not explain the prin
ciples of harmony. Whatever is addressed to
the emotional parts of our nature must con
form to their peculiar organization and modes
of operation, and this conformity is the kind
of truth to be chiefly sought on such subjects.
Certain it is, that the keen spirit of scien
tific inquiry which distinguishes this age, has
not prevented the development of ritualism
and fastidious devoutness in a large class of
highly cultivated minds. This is stigmatized
as a reaction towards Romanism or medieval
ism, but we incline to regard it as an assertion
by human nature of one of its strongest and
most inextinguishable tendencies. There, is
a natural alliance between religion and
all those other emotive creations which we
call the elegant arts, such as poetry, sculp
ture, architecture, music, painting, etc It
is historically true that all these arts arose
and received their greatest development in
religious ages, and that it has been their
chief employment to embody religious
ideas or express religious emotions. Each
of them has a separate truth and a separate
mode of development. Religion finds in them
all aspects not perceived by their undevout
cultivators, just as poetry sees in nature a
grandeur which escapes a prosaio man of sci
ence. Shall the world be blind to the beauti
ful because science seeks only the true? Shall
it abjure religion because it discovers that reli
gion is something different from ratiocination?
We trust to see religion reinstated in her old
