KNOT.ANI) HAULED OVER THE COALS.
An Oration .was- lately delivered 'by Hprt.
Matti H. Carpenter, at the dedication of “Me
morial Hall,” at the College in Beloit, Wiscon
sin—a building meant to commemorate the.
services of the students who died in the. war of
the rebellion. The following passages, coming
from a new Senator; but one of great ability,-'
are interesting: - -
With a nation, its field of labor is the world.
The civilized powers of the earth in the society
of nations, stand in much the same relation to
each other that individuals hold towards each
other in civil society and their intercourse is
regulated by the lavf- of nations, which Mon- -.
tesqufeu says is “fouußed on the principle that
different nations ought to do each other as much
good in peace, and as little liann in war, as pos
sible,'without injury to their, true inteVqsts; and
we may add, without injury to the triie interests
-of mankind. Nations are equal in rights, and
wholly independent of each other. And every
nation has an absolute right, as regards its
-neighbors, to establish such form of-civil polity
.as it pleases. If any people prefer a Republi
can or Monarchical government they are en
titled to have it; and no other nation has the
light to interfere. This is the undoubted doc
tnne of the Law of Nations; and every nation
is bound to observe it; and any nation which
violates it, gives cause of offence to every other
nation; because each is interested that the law
should be observed by all. This law 1 , then, is
our law,, both in its restraints and in its privi
leges. All that we do as a nation must be done
in obedience to its provisions; and we have arr
undoubted right to require of all other nations
the same obedience. Any intervention on orrr
part to coerce the establishment of republican
institutions in Spain, would be an infraction of
this law; and any intervention by England or
France fo establish monarchy over that people
would be equally unlawful.
We have said that. out- field is the world; let
■us look over this field, and see if there is aught
• that we can do.
England is the first country we meet, sur
veying tire field eastward, and.her present con
. dition and the relations wlricli exist between
. that government and orrrs, merit a more ex
; tended consideration than tire time will warrant.
The.firstrthmg to be examined there, because
.-at present it is engrossing all her tlroirglrt, is
the contest, hourly growing hotter and hotter,
i between the people and the privileged classes.
In form' she has a monarchical government; a
queen; a House of Lords, representing the no
bility, the landed aristocracy, and the Estab-'
Fished Church of the realm; and a House of
Commons, standing for the people.. The
.House of Commons, is overwhelmingly re
publican; the House of Lords is thoroughly
wedded to the existing abuses in church and
.-State; the Houses are engaged in a fierce strug
gle for the supremacy, and the Queen is a
.. silent and powerless observer of the contest.
The Commons have passed a bill disestablish-
,mg the Irish Church; the Lords, after the most
'violent and disorderly debate ever kuown in
that House—-a debate during which by-stand
ersfor the first time in English history groaned
.ait the nonsense of a Lord—destroyed the effect
• of the bill by amendments which the Commons
have indignantly rejected. The difference be
i tween the Houses is one of principle which no
• committee of conference can reconcile,and one
.House or the other must recede; and it is cer
.taiff that the Commotis will not, because they
.are supported by the"people; and the voice of
the people is omnipotence ven in Great Britain.
This bill may be delayed, it cannot be defeated.
When it becomes a law there is no principle
.upon which the establishment. of the English
<Church can be defended, and it must, go with
-i-ithe lript ehurcbr Tlieu the Bishop? must
...leave, the House of Lords; and then the House
. ~ȣLords,purged of its,only._popular, .element,
.may well apprehend the accidents which John
.Bright tlireatened them w.ith, amL.the. crown
itself will be in equal danger. Revolutions in
-popular feeling never go backwards. The
.movements in England at the present time give
goodly promise that at no distant day Great
Britain will be a Republic in form as it already
is in substance. At all events it is safe to
•predict tbatthe people of England will here
after control the government-whatever may be
its. form.
The condition of our relations with that
government enables us either to aid or em
barrass the liberal party in England, without
.any violation of the law of nations. During
.the late war, that government was in the hands
.of the Tory party; and the , aristocracy of
'England sympathized, as was to have been ex
,peeled, with the slaveliolding aristocracy of the
South. The pirate ship Alabama was built in
full view of the Government; its intended use
.was well known; it was niauned with English
seamen, and was in all respects, except its com
.mander,. an English vessel. It went forth to
prey upon our commerce, in the interest of a
Slaveholder’s rebellion. The actual damage to
®ur shipping and merchandise, as shown by
claims filed in the office of the Secretary of
State,-amounts, it is said, to $9,300,000, in
round numbers; a large sum certainly, but
still a sum that we can save by economical ad
ministration, .before breakfast. This sum is
.capable of esa'ct liquidation, and must be paid
in .money, whether England remains a
.monarchy or becomes a republic. But wo may
■ suit the timc.and manner of enforcing this
.claim to circumstances; and thereby may, in
.directly, exert .a powerful influence upon
English politics. Our Government may pay
these ;claims • to our' citizens, and charge the
.amount in the great .ledger of national accoun
,lability; to be collected when we please, and
as we please; through the slow methods of
.diplomacy, ..qr by .the quick, sharp, process of
--iieprisal and witr. This acknowledged ' claim'
Against England, injtlie hands of our Govern-
Agent, is wortli more than its face, and is the
most .effectual bond we could hold against
England to keep thepeace. , _ /
.;jßut.this claim is .only .a .drop in the bucket,
of -the great injury committed by England,
upon American interests, the rights of man,
aid the cause of liberty, during the war. She
- lost no cjpportunity to increase our ‘difficulties,,
to prolopqg the war, to insure the utter destruc
tion of this great and much envied -republic.

we,;by accepting- money- for this' injury, say. jto
the world that we are'a nation ‘of peddlers;
that we look only to pash balances ; tliaf any
foreign nation is at liberty to fire upon otir Hog, i
insult our sovereignty, wring bun hoses, and
send us a check. '
’ The insolence of England in the matter ol i
Mason anti Slidell was even more insupportable
than the injuries she committed by the Ala--
bama. They were on their way to Europe in a
British vessel, one the. accredited representa
tive of thd-rebellion to the court of Victoria,
and. the other to the court of Napoleon. An
American naval officer boarded .the vessel and
arrested these ministers plenipotentiary of
treason, and iedgedlhem safely m a nrdltary
stronghold of our Government. Conceding
this proceedings to have been irregular, and
technically a violation of the rights of a neutral
power, yet what an admirable opportunity it
afforded England to show a friendly feeling
toward our Government;-- We were in a hand
to hand struggle for our national , existence.
England was at profound peace with all the
world. Tears might have been employed by
that fat and lazy old monarchyin investiga
tions, in asking from our’ Government the cir
cumstances of the case, and thus giving us an
opportunity to release these traitors, if they
must be released, without suffering any humi
liation. In 1837, when Canada was in revolt,
the ship Caroline was, or was supposed to be,
aiding tlie Canadian patriots. A British force
invaded our territory, cut her loose from her
moorings in American waters, and sent her a
riven monument of British wrath, blazihg over
the cataract of Niagara,'freighted with .'the dead
body of at- least one American citizen. * A
clearer clase of the actual invasion of a neutral
power, a more wanton violation of the law of
nations, never was seen. ; Yet. this offence was
suffered by our Government to go on for four
years through the easy stages of diplomacy,
and it was finally settled in the correspondence
which led to the Webster-Asliburton
treaty, by Ashbiirton saying . -lie was
sorry, and Webster’s saying that would d,o.
But our friendly forbearance was not followed
by England in the case of Mason and Slidell.
Upon the exparte reports of her own subjects,
England decided the case in her Own favor, and
sent us a peremptory demand for an apology,
and for the immediate release of the traitors.
Three days afterward, the French Goveriunent,
evidently at the instigation of England, directed
the French minister at Washington to inform
our Government, how deeply aggrieved France
was at- the outrage we had committed upon
England. This combination ’ of two great
nations was intended •to overawe and
browbeat our Government, and . I never
can think of Seward’s reply to Eng
land’s demand without feeling that the
design completely s iicceeded. That reply, in
seventeen solid pages, more or less, is the most
uncandid and shameful paper that ever ema
nated from an American Secretary of State. It
asserted (1) that we had a perfect right to take
these rebels; (2) that we had no right whatever
to take them; (3) that we were a going to give
them up; and (4) that we would not do so if it
were of any consequence to detain them.
After determining to release these prisoners,
■Seward’s reply should have been couched in
ten lines. lie should have informed England ’
that her demand was technically right, and was
acceded to because it was right; and that the
direct manner and curt style in which she had
made her demand would be the precedent we
should follow in demanding our rights of Eng
land in the future;-
For all these injuries and all this insolence,
we have a right to hold England responsible,
as one nation must answer to another; we
have a perfect right to go to war. with her if we
pieasp; and tliis right will keep. We can bide
our time, select the occasion, and if in some
crisis of her political destiny we should see
that it was in our power, by enforcing our nt- -
most rights by war, to be an instrument hi the
hands of God to avenge the outrages- commit
ted by that blood-stained monarchy, and in es
tablisliing the preponderance of the republican
element of her people, no principle of the law
of nations, would be violated, that we had cho
sen that moment for the stern enforcement of
our just rights.;
One nation in dealing with another is at lib
erty to hold the whole nation responsible for
the. wrongs committed by the governing class
of the offending nation. But a generous aud
powerful nation is not bound to enforce 'its
just demands unless it pleases to do so; and
will not, whenever it can see that the injury to
be inflicted by war would fall upon guiltless
heads." And we ought not to ignore the fact
that, although the aristocracy of England,
which happened at that time to be the Govern
ment, were most unfriendly to us, the people of
England were our friends. There is not a
grander instance of self-sacrificing devotion to
principle in the history of the world than was
exhibited by themanufacturers--of-England in
tlie_sturdy, resolution with which they stood.up
j for the rights of our Government, testifying
plieir.sympatliyrfor_Qurxause,.iii-the midst-of. a
population starving for want • of employment.
Cotton they could not obtain,* with
out recognizing the independence of the South.
Yet they elected to suffer whatever hardships
might come to themselves rather than wink at
so great a national' crime; and they kept so
keen a watch and so steady an eye upon their
Government that' it dare not recognize the
South. A declaration of war at this tune would
visit its losses and hardships, so far as England
is concerned, upon the very classes who were
our warm friends, arid did and suffered every
thing they could for our sake. The aristocracy
of England would not fight many battles, nor
pay much in taxation. The people of England
who were not at fault, would thus be made to
expiate the sins of their riders which they
steadily protested against when committed.
This we do not desire. In a spirit of generous
statesmanship, let us rather say to our brother
Republicans of England, “you have got the
aristocracy on a down grade, noiv push them.
We .will wait for our ten millions, actual pecu
niary loss, until you get into power and can pay
it; and when you have trampled the governing
classes under your heel, you will thereby have
saved us the trouble oi' chastising them for
their insolence; and then w-e will clasp hands
across the Atlantic in joint sympathy with
every people struggling to be free.”
The great offence of England was an of
fence against the world, an act of rebellion
against the moral government of God; and we
have no right to take the place of the Almighty
and compound her crimes for money. Tim'
wages'of sin in the individual is 'death. The
wages of sin in the case of a great nation, is
destruction. And if it shall please God, in His
wisdom, to visit upon the guilty old monarchy
of England, the utmost penalty of her high
transgression, we at least can say “Thy will be
done. ( _... ..... ..
It is time that .the plain ' truth should'be
spoken; and frankness, though a little disagree
able, will'tend to promote an adjustment ol
our differences with Great Britain. We are
sick and tired of the conventional hypocrisy
that has so long characterized the intercourse
between the public men of both countries; sick
and tired of the everlasting songs that cele
brate our pretended unity of face, language
arid,institutions. The fact is, that between
tlie people of the United States and the people
of England there may, and there does exist
warm sympathy and sincere friendship. But
betweenagrowing hopeful people like ours,
looking to tlie future,and rushing- on the path
of improvement and reform, aiid an old proud,
expiring aristocracy dinging to the past and re
sisting all change, like tliat which lias governed
Great Britain, there is no friendship, there can
be none. We liave no opinions, no hopes, no
ends, in common. There is indeed one mutual
sentiment; they would rejoice over our down
fall as ice certainly should at theirs.

until the Queen is tied hand andfpot„and must

France will ripen into fruits even faster than it
did in England. 1 This concession made, and
arbitrary power is dead in-Frarice. —~—~
Spain is rocking in the throds; of revolution.
Left to herself she would hq a republic within
twelve month's. We have recently sent a Min
ister to that country to represent our opinions
and- sentiments. There he will meet the re
presentatives of England and France. What is lie
to say to them ? I know. nothing of his in
structions; and am therefore in no danger of
disclosing State seCrets. But, 1. know, what he
should say to them,- 1 and have a pretty clear
idea of what, if left to himself, he Would say.
Spain is to-day, jf .tlm opportunity be properly
improved, the most. important, of ; all .our mis
sions. Her affairs are in tliat formation
state, where the proper course pursued by the
representative of this great Republic may
contribute much to niake her a republic; and
that too without violatingrthe law of nations.
The time has passed in the history of the
world, when nothing but force • can avail in
shaping the course of public events. . Our
Minister will find in .Spain a great Repub
lican party, the remnant of an aris-
and a people generally ready
to receive with great joy ,tlie gospel
of equal rights. It wfll be in liis. power, in
various ways representing this great nation, to
encourage and direct the republican tendencies
of that people. And to the representatives of
France and England, lie should say: “This
people have a perfect right to fashion their,
own institutions in tlieif own way. The United
Stateshope they will establish a republic.
Nevertlielcss, we do • not propose to interfere in
the matter beyond friendly advice; because the
law of nations and the fust principles of self
government forbid. But the law of., nations is
mu' law as well as yours; it binds you as well as
us; this law we will not violate, and you shall
not violate tins law.” “Simply this and nothing
more,” and Spain will be a' republic. Re
generated by. • free institutions, by the cor
rection of abuses, the distribution of rights ahd
privileges, and by the impetus that liberty will,
give to the enterprise Of her people, Spain-may
be once more, what she once was, a first-class
power; and send forth influences potent for the
reformation of the world, which will be of far
greater moment to man than all the discoveries
made by her ancient mariners.
Italy too is hopeful ground for republican
ism. Her people are arousing from the leth
argy of centuries, ahd looking to, nationality
'and freedom once more; and the march of
liberal thought has reached even the masses of
Prussia, Austria and Russia. Everything indi
cates an awakening, and an advance; and all
changes hereafter are likely to be in favOr of
the people, and against the privileged classes.
In this condition of the world the United
States should and must have a foreign policy.
It is shirking the responsibilities of our posi
tion, neglecting the duty God has cast upon .us
as a nation, to; stand indifferent to the issue be
tween Republican institutions; and arbitrary
power going on all over the world. While
slavery existed here, . our representatives
abroad were constrained to silence. They
had to say to Russia and Austria, “you may
trample upon Hungary, we are oppressing
the negro ; say nothing to us and we will
say nothing to you.” But we have
cast out this fearful beam from our
. own eye, and are now authorized, by divine,
license, to consider the mote in our brother’s
eye. We are no longer a house divided against
itself; talking freedom and upholding, slavery.
The liberation of our slaves has enfranchised
the nation. We ought hereafter to speak earn
estly, and need not apprehend the taunt:
“ Physician, heal thyself.” We must plant
ourselves upon the principle of the law of na- ;
lions,that every people have the right to govern
themselves by such form'of government as
they please; and that no other nation has a.
right to dictate Upon the subject. But, says,
some cautious soul; this means war, ahd war.
will result in taxation. Not so; it means;
peace—peace, if we have to fight for it; peace ;
tor ourselves and for all "mankind! We say,
for instance, that Spain has a right to become ■
a republic or a monarchy as she shall- elect.'
But, says the objector, after you have said so,
suppose Napoleon sends an army into Spain to
set up. a monarchy, then you must make war
upon France. Not necessarily. We .'shoultT
then say to France tliat-she had violated tlur
law.of nations, and ..given, jail. other. ..nations,;
offence. But it does not follow that we should
make-war—upon-Fiance.—When-England sento
a military force into our territory and captured
the ship Caroline ahd serit it over tlie cataract,
she gave Us just cause for War. But we did
not 'go to war with her. ■ We treasured it up as
an affront for which she must some time answer,
and in due time the settlement came to otu
satisfaction. When England sent forth the
Alabama to destroy our commerce, she.gave us
cause for war. We have not made,/war yet;
and whether we ever shall will depend upon
circumstances, and upon our own good pleasure.
The assumption that war must follow if the
United States objects to one nation’s abusing
and oppressing another ignores the spirit of
our age and the influences of our modern
national intercourse. It has been sqid
that God and one man constitute a
majority. That is, one man, right, is
stronger than all men wrong A clear
, truth supported by one powerful nation will
soon be recognized by all nations. Napoleon !
said at \St. Helena that Russia desired to deal
with Turkey, but that he would not consent
that Russia should have Constantinople, for
that would give lifer the domain of Asia; and
Russia kept her hands off The protest of any
first-class power against the intervention of
Russia in the Hungarian struggle would prob
ably have saved that nationality. Hungary could.
have maintained her liberties against Austria;
but eighty thousand bayonets from Russia
turned the scale and crushed out the nationality
of a liberty-loving people. We have grown to
such importance as a nation that we can no
longer wink at one nation’s oppressing another,
or stand by while a wrong is committed which
it is in our power to' prevent, without being
responsible, morally, for tliat wrong. But,says
the objector, Washington, in his farewell ad
dress, counselled us to avoid all en
tanglement in the' affairs of other
nations: can any- man be sound
Who differs from o.nr. Father Washington? The
fiyewell address spake the words of wisdom
for, his own generation, and correctly euun
. ciated the duty of om- people at that time. We
were then in our infancy; three or' four mil
lions of people, scattered over a wilderness of
country, burdened with a debt we could not
pay; and our interference in European affairs,
tinder such circumstances, would have been’as
: ridiculousas.it would have been ineffectual..
■ It would have ruined us and benefited no
body. No nation, no individual, is in . duty
bound to attempt, impossibilities. Washington
was addressing a people then in the nursery;
and said, in substance, “You are little boys;
now, be good little boys, and everybody will
ove you.” Helplessness, is an immunity to a
nation in its infancy, as to an individual child!
But that condition has passed, that immunity
lias ceased. We have attained oUr manhood,
and must now face the duties and'bear the re
sponsibilities of manhood. life must be about
our Father's business.

The Shaker community of New Lebanon,

they ciaima deduction of $40,000, “$l,OOO for

tion was submitted.to, the Commissioner of In-,
temal Revenue as to their right;to claim such a
deduction. The retiim laying been fuade as
from one person, the ’’Co)umissioder "decided
that a deduction of $l,OOO only can be allowed,
and not $l,OOO on each person, as 'if the re
turns had been made to the collector by each

elcnow whether the law-sustains such a course.
The Commissioner replies by citing a portion
of the act of July 13, 1860, as. amended by the
act of March 2,15C7, which reads as follows :
“ The person or persons failing o \ neglecting to
pay said tax shall pay t a penalty’ of -five’ per
centum, together with interest, at the rate of
one per cent, per month, upon said . tax from:
the time the same became duev but no interest
for any fraction of a month shall be de

tion, organized spoil after the battle, since in
- ■ -corporated and holding in absolute-tenure the
l : moreunportantportionsof the battle-grounds,
being memorial arid historical in its purpose
and character, has unanimously adopted resolu
’ : lions (already published), . which accompany
fitliis letter, determining t 6 proceed to indicate
i the field with enduring memorials constructed
of tlie <irauitc from its lulls, and thus to per
il'' mancntly.inark out the positions and move*
;i ments of-the annics, corps, divisions, and im
portant commands in the battle,
ji _ , Its object is to peipetiiate the history of the
:j | " battle.in its simple truth, and to that end to
j make the battle-field its own interpreter. It
• j sceks to preserve this field,'.truly-indicated, as
J ! an enduring historical memorial of the military
j: | events of the Ist, 2d, and 3d of July, 1803, as a
|| sclioohfor study in practically illustrating the
|i -art of war, and an eyer-eloquent though silent
| exponent, alike to citizen and foreign visitor,
’j] of the 'battle of Gettysburg.
I j The more effectually to accomplish tliis its
f 3 purpose, and before proceeding to erect the in
;| | -ilications, the association desires to derive the
') | :important; requisite information from authentic
)■ | and original sohrees. •It earnestly realizes that
•i 6 justice to themselves and fidelity to the truth
]|i of history eiititle the officers who commanded
:j] the forces in,action to designate the positions
i | and define the movements thus to be per
; j petuated.
i j With this high historic purpose in view, I am
II -instructed by tlie hoard,- as secretary and on
] j behalf of the association, to invite you, Gene
-31 ral, to co-operate in this work of indication
ii | -and to attend a reunion of the officers of your
] i -brigade, division, corps, and army upon the
11 battle-grounds, there to, confer together aud
33 | determine the positions afid important points
J S proper to be thus epduringly, designated.
i.j - The time fixed for the meeting Is the week
■|| -commencing with the twenty-third day of Au-
J j gust next. The place of meeting is the Gettys
j| burg Springs Hotel, upon the battle-field, where
i: - the accommodations are ample and excellent.
iK It is requested that at the same time that
- they reply to tills invitation', the officers invited
||; address the surviving ranking officer of their’
corps, and express, if practicable, their inten
i -.tiou to be present, and he,is also .requested to
1 3 communicate with the secretary.
} i Arrangements are in. progress to secure to the
visiting officers the courtesy office travel to,
!! ,:utd probably also from,, this reunion, oyer the.
i; railroads leading thitlief. '
j ■ The association-lias also an-anged for the
; commutation of the hotel charges to a very
j moderate price, while securing comfort anil
j every desirable attention.
The press of the country has also been re

I- and is generously responding. - 3
I The officei'S and directors sincerely hope tliatj

A Good Word lor the JKMqnlto.
. As so many readers will, find themselves in
close contact with this insect presently, we
quote wlidt ffitsj iKntO/horoofof'’ says coh'cefliing
him, for their iediflcatibii:'’ •' *
: The eggs of the jnosqujto are laid in a bowl
shaped mass .upon the surface of stagnant
water, by the mother fly.' After hatching ou
they, finally/ become f .,the tails or
wiggle worms that may : be seen in the
summer in any barrel of water that is cx
r posed to the atmosphere, for,.any. length of
time. Finally the. < fw}gglo-taili”i’cdme to the
surface, and the full-fledged, mosquito:; bursts
out of them,, at first with very short limp
wings, which in a short time grow both hi
length and stiffness. The sexes then couple,
and the above process is repeated again, proba
bly a dozen times in the course of one season!
It is a curious' fact that the male mosquito,
which may..lie known. by.its feathered anteme,

The mosquito is not an umnitigated pest.
Although in the winged jstate the female .sucks
our blood arid • disturbs our rest, in the larva
state the insect is decidedly beneficial, by puri
fying stagnant water that . would , otherwise
breed malarial diseases. Linnaeus long ago
showed that if you place . two barrels of'stag
nant’water side by side, neither of them con
taining any “wiggle tails,” or other living
animals, and cover ono with gauze,' leaving the
other one uncovered, so that it will soon be
come full of “wiggle tails,” batched out from
the eggs deposited by the female mosquito,
thou the-covered- barrel will* in a few weeks,
become very offensive, and the uncovered
barrel will emit.no impure and unsavory vapors.
