w . OPolitioal Triokery.
Xt is a maxim that •'everything b ftlir .m
!4*»m H is
H&1 that“ there |a no honesty in polities,** end
this, .while it is lamentable, is onlytoo true.—
"We CM"see no good reason why men who sore
should he dishoßest in -politiosl afiWrs.
tamiy ft is wo leas repmohM for a man* toact
deceitfully in affairs which relate to the welfare
oftheccontry orthe character of individuals,
politically considered, then it woiild be to Aot
rimilsrty religiously or socially. But wo know
'that Almost every person looks upon these mat
ters in g>tUffcrent light, and the one is tolerated,
and even Applauded, while the other alone meets
that censure which isdue ts both.
0n no other subject, probably, do men .exhibit
somuch excitement, and become so reckless* in
their assertions, as on politics. That every man
should take an interest in the affairs of the
country, we consider not toly .proper, but a
bounded duty, one that cannot be put aside even
by the minister of the Gospel. Every man is
supposed to attach himkelf to that party which
he thinks is right—the true party—the one
which will carry eut his views; and, ns amat
teir of course, we should expect to see him earn
estly Upholding the principles of his party when
ever assailed. But in so doing it is not-.at all
necessary that he -should,depart from the-truth
inrelationto his own party, or misrepresent his
opponents. * Such a course is condemned by the
sensible men of ail parties, and indulged in only
by those who place but little value on their rep
utation. ,
Garbling extracts from speeches and letters
of public men is one of the dishonorable politi
cal tricks now indulged in to a great extent by
ali parties. By way of comparison we may say
that we have heard ministers of the Gospel,
while speaking of tiie fascinating manner in
which Satan tempts men from the ways of truth,
make use of language which, if separated from
the discourse, would make the minister say that
the devil was a mighty fine fellow, a very plever
old gentleman, almost a saint; but by adding
the preceding and succeeding remarks the whole
tenor of the eulogy is changed. Now What
WOuld be thought of a Journalist who would at-'
. tempt to disparage a minister in the eyes of
those who. were unacquainted with him, by
gßrhlihg the extract which, without the other
plortions, would be an eulogy of Satan? Every
reasonable man would know it was not what it
imported, and the journalist would bo heartily
condemned.. Politically, we have numerous ex
amples of this kind, hut because they do not
meet with that open censure which they deserve,
they are continued. We will refer to one ease
of politick! garbling, (and we do so only because
we have heard good men of all parties condemn
the actions df the few journals that have phb
♦llshed the extract; after they had read the trhole
sjpeeoh and knew gm'driitfa,) and that is an ex
fractjaken from Carl Bhnrz’s speech, delivered
at Springfield, Maas., Jan.. 4,1860. By disoon
necting thatextract from the adjoining remarks
lie is -made topdicule the Declaration of Inde
pendence and defame the men who signed it
The reverse of this is true, '-for in reality that
part of the speech from which the extract is.
taken is a beahttftQ eulogy oh the Declaration
and a just tribute' to the "memory of ithe men
who affixed their names to it It is an insult tp;
the Intelligence and patriotism of the-'people of
Springfield (whom we have every reason to. ibe-;
. Ueve are as loyal io their country as thbse of
any o&Wseo6im)sto suppose that ■ they would ,
permit any man, lunch less a foreigner, thus to
'ridicule ah artiue spmuch prized, tmd elands
meriwhosehxemory is dear to every
without dealing out to him, in si summary mad
der, ISat reward which such insolence would
deserve. We'ddnot’wish to no considered hs
apologising for Carl Shuts, because, politically,:
we don’t like him, but we merely notice this 'to
show How men aredsoeived in politics by nn
scrupulous journatlsts who garble extracts froth
speeches and letters, and sometimes even alter
words to salt their, purpose. Those whohave
Been so much excited against the German orator
I Syreading only the obnoxious extract, should
i xead that part of his speech from which it is
and they will then entertain a different
'(mihtbh of him even though they do not agree
Wlth him in polities. Had Carl Shurz uttered
the sentiments attributed to him we would de-
light to be of the number who would supply
with an excellent coat of tar and feathers,
i aod help him on his journey, on d rail, through

Two saiep were this morning, employed in giv

POLITICAL ITEMS.
Extract jbom Carl Sobubz’s Speech.—Be
low we publish, by request, that port of Carl
Soharz’ff speech, delivered at Springfield; Moss.,
January 4, 1860, an extract from wbidv has
raised such a storm about his ears as a craamer
of the Declaration of Independence and the men
who signed it,
Ziet yoUr Imagination carry you back to the year 17RB.
Ton stand in the'hall of the old' Colonial Court-house of
Philadelphia. Through the open door yon see the Conti
nental Congress assembled; the moment of a great decision
is drawing near.' look at the earnest faces of the men as
sembled and consider what yon may expect of them.
The philosophy of the eighteenth century counts many of
them among its truest adepts. They welcomed heartily in
their scattered towns and plantations the new ideas brought
faith by that sudden progress of humanity, and, medita
tatiog thtin in the dreamy soUtnde of virgin nature, they
had enlarged the compass of their thoughts, and peopled
their thqmchts with lofty ideals.' A classical education
(for most; of them are by no means Illiterate men,) has put
all the treasures of historical knowledge at their disposal,
and enabled them to apply the experience of past centuries
to the nsw problem they attempt to solve. See others there
of » simple but strong cast of mind, whom common sense
would call Hs truest representatives.'Wont to grapple with
tho dangers and” difficulties of au early settlor’s life, or, if
inhabitaitts of young uprising cities, wont to carry quick
p rejects into speedy execution, they hove become regard
less of obstacles and used to strenuous activity. The con
stant necessity to help themselves has developed their men
tal independence; and, inured to political strife by tho con-.
tlmud defence of their colonial setfgorernment, they have
afloat become familiar with the idea, to introduce into
practical existence the principles which their vigorous
minds hare quietly Wfiilt up into a theory.
The first little Impulses to the general upheaving of the
popular spirit—the tea tax, the stamp act—drop into insig
nificance; they are almost forgotten; the revolutionary
spirit has risen far above them. It disdains to justify it
self with petty pleadings; it spurns diplomatic equivoca
ting} it places .the claim to independence upon the broad
basis of eternal rights, os self-evident as the sun, as broad
as the,world, as common as the air of heaven. The strug
gle of the colonies' .against the usurping Government of
Great Britain has risen to the proud dimenalohs of a strug
gle of man for liberty and equality. Behold,iive men are
advancing towards' the table of the President. Pint, Thom
as Jefferson, whose philosophical spirit grasps the general
ity of .things and events; then Benjamin Franklin, the
great apostle of comffloTWsense, the 1 clear wisdom of real
jjfa beaming in hls serene eye; then the undaunted John
Adams, and two bthen. Wow Jefferson reads the Dcelara
thhrnf Independence, and loudly proclaims the principles
Upon which it rdtts: "All men are created free and equal!”
If beam; history tells yon what if meant. The seeptre'ot
.royalty is flung back across the ocean; the prerogatives of
nobility are trodden into the Just ; every man a king, every
man'abaron; in seven of the original colonies the shackles
of; the black man struck off; almost everywhere the way
pi-epafed'ftr gradual emancipation. 1 a Mo recognition of
the. righted property in hum I” says Madison, “Detain

Old England foto.be shaken off; but a new
organization of society b to be built up, bn the basisof lib
erty and fqnaHfy. That b the Declaration of Independence.
That is the American Revolution. AU man free and equal.
NOt even the broad desert of the Atlantic Ocean stops the
triumphant shout.' Behold tire nations of the Old World
ate rushing to arms. ' Hostile* are blown into the dust as
by tho .trumpets of Jericho, and," like a pillar of fire by
.mght and a pillar of dond by day, the great watchword uf
the American Revolution shows forever'the way to strog
gitnghumanlty. [Bong-continued applause.] AH men are

Turn your eyes away drum the sublime spectacle of 1776,
from that glorious gtuaxy of men whose hearts were large
enough fbraUmanJrind, and let mo recall yon to the sober
yhar; of 1867. There b Springfield, the capital of Illinois;
ode of those States which owe thelr greotness to an ordi
nance originally framed by the same man whoso hand wrote
the Decimation of Independence. In the Hill of the As
, stands Mr. Douglas, who initiates an eager
; crowd (hto the mysteries of “popular sovereignty.” lie
Will toll you what it meant when the men 0f1776 said that
“Airmen wascreated freeand equal." IBs says: ; ,
. 1“Mo mao can vindicate the character, the motives, and
the conduct of thb'eigners bf the Declaration of Indepen
i dmee, except upon tho hypothesis that they referred to the
: 'white race afohe ahd hot to the African, When they declared

' was adopted merely for the purpose of Justifying the colo
, niste In the eyes of the ctvilicedwqrid in withdrawing their
allegiance from the British -crown, .and dissolving, their
connection with the mother country.” • • - • •
■ rWhatl Is that all? -Is that little heap of quicksand tho
whole substructure on which a new organizatlon of society ;
was to be hnilt?—the wholo 'ftmnifctlon upon which the
pttmdahd ponderous edifice of theTJnited States Tostsf—
They did then, not mean all men, when they said all men.
That intended, perhaps, even to disfranchise those free
bracks, who. In fire of the original thirteen colonies, en
joyed the right of voting. ! They meant bntthe white race.
.Qp,no l hy.nomean&tho uM« white race; not-tbe Her
mans, nbt the Trench, not the Scandinavians'; they meant*
bdt British subjects. “British subjects on this continent
being equal to British subjects born and residing on the'
-dtber side of the great water!” [laughter and applause.] :
Thjro la yonr Declaration of Independence, a diplomatic
dodge, adopted merely for the purpose of excusing the re
hellions colonies in the eyes of civilized mankind. There
is your Declaration of Independence, no longer the sacred
Code of 1 the rights of man, meant hot the privileges of W
set of aristocratic slaveholders, hut styled it “the rights
Of man,” in order to throw dust into the eyes of theworld
apd to inveigle noble-hearted tools into lending them aid
and assistance. [Applause.] These are your boasted Be-:
vMuUonary sires, no longer- heroes and sages, but accom
plished hnmhuggers ond hypocrites, who passed counterfeit;
sentiments as genuine, and obtained arms and maneyand

mat American Bevolution, no longer the great champion
■of universal principles, but a mean Yankee trick—-[bursts

Thisls the way Mr. Douglas •went* yon to reed end to
understand the proudest, pagvs of American-hislofyl That
it the kink ot history with! Which he finds it to.
prop bis mongrel doCtrinb of popular lTbat
is what he calls vindicating the character and the ojwves

with one greet stroke of legislation; and Washington, wbtf
declared it to he “ his fondest wish to see slavery abolished

"Eh, you. may abuse uS as much as you please, but have
the goodness to-spareuswith your vindications of our j
character and mottoes." [Great laughter and applause.!
It is a oommqn thtog that men of a coarse cast of mind
so lute themselves in the mean pursuit of selfish ends as. to |
become insensible to the grand and sublime. Measuring
every character and every event in history by. the low stan
dard of their own individualities, applying to everything
■ the narrow rule of their own motives, incapable of grasp-,
tog brood and generous ideas, they will belittle every great
thing they cannot deny, and drag down every struggle of
’principles to the sordid arena of aspiring selfishness, or of
small competing interests. lighteen hundred years agp,
there were man who saw nothing in incipient Christianity
but a mere wrangle, between Jewish theologians, got op by
a carpenter’s boy, and carried on by a few orasy fishermen.
Three hundred years ago, tpere were men who saw to th*
great reformatory movement of the sixteenth century, not
the emancipatJOnxof the individual conscience, hut a mete
fags kicked up by a Osman monk who wanted to gist mar
ried. Two hahdred years ago, there were men who saw
in Hompdeh’s refusal to pay the ship money, not a bold
vindication of constitutional liberty; but tho crazy antics
of a man who was mean' enough to quarrel about a few
shillings. And now, there are men who tee in toOiDeclar-
Stiou of Independence and toe American Revolution, not
lie reorganization of human society upon the basis onto-'
erty and equality, but a dodjro of 0O111& BnglUb cwoaiw,
who were unwilling to pay. their taxes. (Continued a"p
planse.}
But the dignity of great characters and tho glory of great
events find their vindication to toe consciences of the peo
ple. [Cheers.] It fa in vMn for demagogneism to raise its
short arms against the truth of history. The Declaration,
of Independence stands there. No candid man ever read it:
without seeing and feeling that every wort of it was dicta-,
ted by deep and earnest thought, ,qnd that every sentence
of it bean the stamp of philosophical generality. It is the
dimming up of toe results of the philosophical develop
ment of the age; it is the practical embodiment of the pro
gressive ideas; which, very for from being confined to too
.narrow limits of the English colonies, pervaded the very
atmosphere of oil civilized coUi\Criea. That code of human
rights has grown on the very summit of civilization, not in
the miry soil'of a South Carolina cotton-field. Ho must
have a dull mind or a disordered brain; who misunder
stands its principles; but he'must have tho heart of a vil-
Mit, who’knowingly misrepresents them, [bond cheers,]
PeobablE' Majobity.—The Pittsburgh Even
ing Chronicle publishes a list of tbe counties and
districts io this State, with the probablemajor
ities each will gite for Foster and Curtin, and
brings Curtin out 23,000 ahead, counting Phila
delphia a tie; but conceding that Foster will
have 5,000 in Philadelphia, it still leaves him
17,000. Of course this Calculation was made by a
friend of Curtin, and we think some of his ma
jorities are a little too high; nevertheless, they
are such as are entertained by his supporters
throughout the State.
A correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot
states that the Republicans of New York State
“ have the names of 81,000 of the very men who
voted for Fillmore in 1856 inscribed on their
poll lists for Lincoln—not put there by guess,
put by actual, veritable personal inquiry of each
man as to his course.”
VST A very large meeting of the People’s
Party was held at Beavertown, Beaver pounty,
on Tuesday evening of lost week. Addresses
were delivered by Hon. A. G. Curtin, and Col.
L. W. Hall, of this place. The speech of Col.
H., Is highly spoken of by the papers of that
place, even the Democratic paper accorded io
it the merit of being a good political speech,
free from all harsh language.

housekeepers “most do congregate.” Mr. Torah cstab
lishen himself at tho corner of Plinth and Market Street't,
in 1860, and by .superintending the manufacture of every
article himself bis wares soon gained a reputation, and by
liberal advertising and strict attention to business, he was
soon forced to add room after room to bis establishment,
until his is now the most entensiye establishment of tho
kind in Philadelphia, and being one of special interest to\
jiU housekeepers, we'deem it worthy of this special notice.
Mr. Torom is himself a master mechanic, a shrewd busi
ness man, and a gentleman. - He superintends his own busi
ness and may be found at the estabUshment early and late.
810 is, in the strict sense of the, word, a utilitarian, and the
reader most not expect, should he visit his business place,
to snd a “ showy?’ establishment, unless, indeed, a hive of
industry and well stocked ware rooms of large dimensions
but unpretending style may be considered thorny. The
place Js an attractive one, however, and .especially, to ycung
housekeepers commencing life and looking for home com
forts. The varieties of style and gradation of prices are
such as }o enable,one to purchase according to taste and
with a certainty of purchasing at the lowestpricet. Make
a note of this, reader, and call at tbo establishment or send
yonr order. Address SRParir Torah, N. £. corner of 9th
and Market streets, Philadelphia, and your fnmitnte win
ibe selected from a stock embracing’ everything from the
best and most elaborate .finish to the plainest'and cheapest.
All orders receive thO personal attention of Mr. Torah and
hiq efforts to please ate generally satisfactory.
