From the y. 1' TefalA . Senator Sumnor'a carefully considered speech delivered before the MaHsaohusettfl Itepublican State Convention we submit to our readers in full, because this speech, we think, may be connidored not only as the Voice of the Republican party of Massachu setts, but as the programme of this party for throughout the countryj and because, Binoe his great exhaustive and unanswerable fipoech in the Senate on the Alabama claims, the opinions and pleadings of Mr. Sumner on public affairs attract a larger degree of public attention than ever before. In the speech we have the views of the Senator on the negro question, in connection yith Southern reconstruction and the fifteenth amendment; on the money question, in connec tion with the redemption and repudiation; on the Alabama claims, in connection with Canadian annexation, and on the Cuban question, touching the policy of Spain and the policy of the United States. The burden of the speech, however, is upon "the national freedman and the national creditor," or the negro and the nntional debt. The Senator takes a gloomy view of the present condition of things at the South; the mischief resulting from Andrew Johnson's defection is not yet over; the fnithf ul Southern Unionists are suf fering terribly under the growing reaction; there is no peace in the ollebol States; there xve still tread on smothered fires; our infor mation from all that section is most painful; old Itebela are crawling forth from their hiding places; the lawless Ku-Klux clan still maintain their reign of terror, and "there is only one thing that these disturbers can feel power, and they must be made to feel it the power of an awakened people, directed by Tlaniihlitnn nrlmini titration ! From all this we may calculate upon a terri He overhauling of the recent Southern elec tions after the reassembling of Congress; for the hint is broadly suggested, not only to the South but to the administration itself, in fjuniner's declaration that we must, in the matter of equal rights, have security for the f aturo before we can admit the late Southern Rebels into copartnership in the Government. We are pointedly told that the battle on the negro is not yet finished between the Repub licans on one side and the ex-Rebels of the South and the allies of the Northern Democ racy on the other. We fear, indeed, that in Sumner's estimation Greeley has been too fast in bis recognition of the Walker Liberal Republican party of Virginia. In considering the Democratic party upon 'that standing menace of repudiation, by V hich the national credit at home and abroad Buffers so much," Mr. Sumner enlarges upon the different branches of the money question. He says that repudiation is confiscation; that the propositions to redeem the debt in green backs and to tax the national bonds mean repudiation; that the extra interest we have to pay on the debt results from these schemes of repudiation; but still he contends that in View of the overwhelming disasters of repu diation this thing is impossible. All this is plain sailing tinder the wing of General Grant; but we are not very sanguine of a speedy return to specie payments, through the mere conversion of greenbacks into national bank notes. On the Cuban question the cautious Sena tor thinks that Spain ought to and will have to relinquish the island; but that as yet the Cubans do not present a case for the conces Bion of belligerent rights. Worst of all, the administration of Cespedes, according to the Senator, remains in doubt upon the question of the abolition of slavery, liut what, we may ask, does this signify, in view of the annexation of Cuba? for the moment the island is ours slavery therein ceases to be. We apprehend that Massachusetts would rather have the tariff and the custom house receipts on Cuban tobacco, sugar, and coffee, than the island free of cost. . At all events Mr. Sumner appears to be perfectly indif f erent as to the settlement of the Cuban ques tion. Not so is he in reference to the Alabama claims. He adheres to his speech in the ' Senate; but he leaves it to England to deter mine what reparation to offer, and to the American people to determine what repara tion to require. He pronounces the project of taking Canada for indemnity as imprac ticable, but is satisfied that the laws of gravitation will bring about annexation. In short, Mr. Sumner's proposes to fight this State campaign in Massachusetts on the 'almighty nigger" and the national debt in all its bearings, leaving Cuba, the Alabama claims, Canada and Mexico to take their chances in the drift of events. ' We see, too, that in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, as in Massachusetts, the Republicans will push their fight on the negro and the debt, upon which they are in full accord with the ad ministration; that they will leave Cuba and the Alabama claims to take their chances, and as far as possible will avoid, as in Maine, all divisions and all entangling alliances on whisky and lager beer. Let the reader turn from this programme to that of the De mocracy at Syracuse and draw his own con clusions. We think that, baoked at last by the administration on the nigger and the debt, the game is still in the hands of the Re publican party, and that even in New York it will most likely do better this fall than it did lost fall, when it had to pull against all the strengtn ana all the spoils of Andy Johnson TURKEY PREPARING FOR PEACE. From the K. Y. Times. Vour vessels have very recently left this port laden with flrearmH, and a fifth is upon the point of starting. Their cargoes consist of one hundred and twenty-five thousand En field and two hundred and twenty-five thou sand Springfield rifles, which have been pur chased from the United States Government, for account of the Porte, by his Excellency lttaoque Bey, the Ottoman Minister at wash ington. Nor are these the only preparations which the Ottoman Government is making in this country for the preservation of peaoe with Jier powerful neighbor. It is establishing an armory in Turkey upon tne plan of our armorv at Springfield, for the fabrication of small arms, and the machinery for it is now constructing in this country. These are facts pregnant with curious re flections. It is less than five years since the Sultan has seen fit to send to us a diplomatic representative. He now passes by all the armories of Europe to equip his army from American arsenals and his new armory with American machinery. This is a compliment to American mechanism for which in the name of our ingenious craftsmen we wake a bow. But what do thesa InrrrA nnrrlinHfH nf Arms. these BteaUhylwilitaryprepiufttioiis, portend? That is the question which will be upon the tongue of every one who reads what we have writ ten. We think we can answer it. Tur key has within a very short period turned ovor a new leaf. Her statesmen no longer acoopt the reproach made against them by Gibbon, of being only camped in Europe. Formerly the army and also the civil servioe consisted exclusively of Mussulmans, who assumed to be the sole rulers, proprietors and natural defenders of the soil; all other natives er sub jugated people being rayats or serfs. She was isolated like China by a natural mass of waters, holding as little communication as possible with other nations. Her Government was the extreme barbario expression of abso lutism, under which no right was respectod, no virtue protected. This epoch in the history of Turkey is rapidly passing away. The Government is beginning to recognie the right of the gov erned; it Is opening and encouraging inter course with foreign nations; the present Sultan has disregarded the tradition which prohibited the sovereigns of- Turkey from quitting the empire; the schools of loarning in Europe swarm with youthful Turks; acade mies of science are being foundod within the empire; the despotic rule of former times is being transformed into a qnoxi constitutional government through the Tanzituat, with a responsible Ministry, of which the Sultan is the executive. The Porte now abounds with Christian as well as Mussulman functionaries; the Koran, which used to be the sole law of the land, has been super seded by statutory and constitutional enact ments based upon the Napoleouio code; and more recently the Prussian Landmehr has boon adopted, which furnishes the immediate occasion for the largo purchases of arms which we have announced. To give efficacy to these and other reforms in contemplation, Turkey needs peace. Unhappily she has a neighbor on the North who is disposed, or at least suspected of a disposition, to sow dissen sion between the Christian and Turkish popu lation; to thwart every scheme of reform; to propagate intrigues and seditions among the sens, and to gratily a Muscovite passion to see the Russian standard float from the dome of St. Sophia. It is to counteract this Northern influence, as we understand it, that Turkey is arming, in accordance with the Napoleonic maxim, that Providence is always on the side of the heaviest artillery. With an army well equipped with American arms; with an armory mounted with improved American machinery, she expects the Czar will forbear to disturb her while she goes on with the railroad and other national improvements, for the prosecution of which peace is indis pensable. In this laudable purpose we wish the Turks every success. Y hen we have supplied them with all the arms they require for their de fense, we shall hope to send them our agricul tural and mechanical implements, some of our idle ship carpenters, a selection of our school books, and at last, if they will receive it, the Bible. Thus equipped, the Sultan may defy the Czar "and the rest ol mankind. SUMNER BLUNDERING. From the N. T. Sun. Senator Sumner speech. He argued Cubans in any way, at Worcester made a against recognizing the His reasons were va rious, but here is the chief of them: "I am unwilling to make any recognition of tliem so long as they continue to hold human beings as slaves. A decree in M ay last, purporting to be signed by Cespedes, abolished slavery ; but I am not sure of this decree, especially in view of another in July, purporting 10 come irom me same aucnority, main taining slavery. Until this is settled we must wait. Considering that Mr. Sumner is chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the Senate, he ought to be better informed, lie could easily have got the information. Mr. .Morales liemus, tne ouoan representative in this country, would gladly have furnished it to him in the most authentic and unquestion able form, if Mr. Sumner had chosen to ask for it. In the Constitution of the Cuban re public, adopted at Guimaro, April 10, 18G0, article 24 reads asioiiows: "All the Inhabitants of the republlo are entirely nee. . T- r. ,, . . 11 . ... . . jur. oumner win notice mat tins is not 'a decree signed by Cespedes;" it is the Consti tution of the republic, and is superior to all decrees. No person in authority can sot it aside. President Cespedes cannot do this. He has never undertaken to do it. The decree of July which Mr. Sumner tells us he has seen must have been an imposture. In ms earlier days the heart of Charles Sumner was true above all to the rights of man. Liberty was bis idol, and his worship was ardent and noble. But now in his age he looks coldly on at one of the grandest events in the history of liberty; at a people of half a million proclaiming the freedom of half a million of their own slaves, and offer ing them all the political rights which, at the risk of life, property, and honor, they are claiming for themselves. Do we say he looks on coldly? The truth rather seems to be that he beholds the inspiring spectacle with aversion; and all beeause he fears that any active sympathy with the achievement of Cuban freedom may interfere witn some pet theories of his concerning abstract principles of international law. How are the mighty fallen ! What a dif ference between the Charles Sumner of 1849 and the Charles Sumner of 1801) ! If in that better time some prophet had warned him of what he would now be doing, he would have indignantly responded: "is tny servant a dog, that he should do this thing '(" AN ARTIFICIAL CRISIS. From the S. Y, Tribune. The American people have not formed the most cordial and exalted opinion of the gov erning or misgoverning character of Spain. We must avow this with all candor and with due emphasis. They have been reading, of course, that Spanish authority as at Cadiz and Havana butchers its subjects without remorse; that Spain is bankrupt and improvi dent; and that her officials on this side of the water at least are as little trustworthy as are her soldiers hardy or fiery. Nevertheless they will, we venture to say, rejoice to cher ish any better judgments of their moral ad versary in the art of government and war. They will do this if only for the sake of the party of earnest Republicans, the intelligent and well-ordered efforts of whom will, wa hope, at some day give tone and shape to the national character of Spain. But it may be the time for a higher rating of Spanish capa city and feeling has come. General Sickles, if the reiterated Loudon report is to be ao cepted, has become alaruaod, and has with drawn his note. This result Spain owes to her own fearless ness, says the London Time. She has "met an imagined affront with immediate defiance," and while her conduct "may savor of unrea son, it does not partake of the nature of bravado." It is further said that if .driven to extremes our national contemporary will give battle. Altogether it appears that the people of Spain, determined that Cuba shall pay in blood and bitterness of soul the evil expense of thoir pride aud unthrift, are wrotU with these United States. Let us be pardoned if I we say that some of this anger, if not ficti tious, is indulged in the spirit of fe.ir. Let us grant, too, that the Spaniards are chival rously though ignornntly attached to the came of their territorial integrity. jtnt what if it now turns out that the Spanish Government have shown no disnosition to ouarrel. and that General Sickles has found no occasion to withdraw his note? Such seems to be Uio tenor of our Wash ington ndvio.es, and tho inference we are per mitted to draw. To the uroffeved me tia- ticra of the United States the Government of the Regent have replied with a simple anl amioaMo declination. We have not as yet ollicmliy lieard that General Sickles lias con- veyed a thrent of recognition to those to whom lie was accredited with friendly instructions. All that wo positively know is that the Spa niards are exercised with an imaginary trou ble, and are ngpravating a real danger. Fur ther, wo have the assuranoo that our own Government is in no manner moved by the news lrom Madiid. liut one theory remains to us for the temper and activity which the Spaniards have t-hown on the first hint of General Sickles' communication, and the reti cence ot tneir government as to its actual contents, and the expressed friendly disposi tion of tho United States. Spain is about to play her last card for the unhappy stake of Cuba, and pernaps is not sorry to Hvail nor- self of an artificial crisis to stimulate tho flagging energies of her people. II 0 0 S Ad The Pour-IHlle Tunnel In ninsnrliiisetts. The present condition of tho work on the great Hoosac Tunnel is described by a cor respondent of the Boston Journal, who says: "lhe tunnel is making progress at tne rate of about ten feet a day, which, with headings leading from the central shaft loft entirely out ot the question, would admit ot its completion in less than five years. The Messrs. Shanly have four years and a half (until March 1, 1874) to complete their con tract, and are constantly increasing their facili ties for work, so that there appears but little doubt of their ability to end their work within the given time. At the presont rate it will take about a year longer to sink the central shaft. In company with Mr. Pratt I stepped up m front of tlio drilling machines to 00 serve their operations. They evidently do their work effectually. There were drills to the right of us and drills to the left of us, and a shower of stone dust came down on our heads from the working of other drills above It was a place no one would care to re main in long if ho could easily get away, and how the miners stand it is a mystery. To be immured in such a gloomy dungeon any way is bad enough, but to be shut up with such a terrihe clatter about one s ears adds ten thou sand fold to tho discomfort. Up to August 31 the east heading had reached a distance of f!)83 feet from the por tal. The present depth ot the shaft is hi, feet, and the bucket is attached to a sort of elevator, which runs down in grooved timbers to within fifty feet or so of the bottom. A minute and a half to two minutes is usually the time occupied in hoisting or lowering a bucket. It was at this place that thirteen workmen lost their lives, October l'J, 18(!7, in consequence 01 the burning of the buildings over the shaft, by which means all chance of escape was cut off. The water quickly filled the bottom of the pit, and the bodies could not be recovered tor a full year. This acci dent occurred at the depth of j83 feet. There have been other accidents at this shaft, and no longer ago than the 30th of June three men were killed while de scending in a DucKet. J. tie engine ran away from the one in charge, allowing the bucket to descend with great rapidity, and to strike upon some timbers by the way, throwing out the three men, while a fourth, by some miraculous means, saved his life by jumping, all four landing upon the wood work by the side. The shaft is twenty-seven feet by fif teen, and is filled for a part of the space with timber work. There is now a series of lad- ders upon the sides extending to the bottom, by means 01 wmcn tne men mignt escape in case ot any accident in the hoisting appa ratus. "Arriving at the west shaft, a party of four was made up to accompany the superinten dent, Mr. 11. II. Pratt, to the bottom and to the west heading, some eighteen hundred feet beyond the shalt, The distance between this shaft and the west portal is about twenty-five hundred feet, and it is in this section of the tunnel that a large brick tube is being con structed to guard "against the caving of the demoralized rock, which has caused so much trduble and about which so much has been said. The brick tunnel will reach to within some three hundred feet of the shaft. The descent at thiB point is made in a sort of box elevator, open on one side to admit a car, such as the rocks and debris are taken out upon. One of these elevators is coming np while the other is going down. The depth is no ieet, or ninety-eignt leet more than the height of Bunker Hill Monument. Rubber suits were again brought into requisition, and rubber boots also put on, for the bottom is in places very wet. "To journey to this heading is a more dif ficult matter man running in on a car at the eastern end, and it involves a little hard work. With Mr. Pratt as a file leader and our 'lamps dimly burning, we march away from the shaft through the darkness, occa sionally tumbling over a piece of rock or a timber; some five hundred feet from the end we are forced to clamber up over the rocks several feet, for the heading at this end is carried forward . at the top instead of at grade, as at the other end. There is a noise as of half a dozen cotton mills, and as many rushing, shrieking locomotives; as we draw near the end ot our journey, and after itimping aside several times to avoid ima ginary cars, we gather from Mr. Pratt, who shouts in our ears at the very top of his voice.that the drilling machines are in opera tion. Here, as at the other end, tne drills are driven by compressed air, which is also used to ventilate the tunnel. The rock now being worked through, however, is much harder, although of the same kind, and the progress made is somewhat less, averaging about three teet a day. Nitro-glycenno, instead ot pow der, is to be used in blasting, in the course of the present month, and it is conjectured mat four feet per day will then be made. T. 1ASTOW. I. VMAHOV.
