"THE JE1T IX XODEBX HISTOKY." BT BTNJ. I. COHEN. Tho following lectnre vras tloliverotl boforo Uie Young Men's Hobrew Associ ation at Portland, Or., November 14, by Benj. I. Cohen: Spain, Iho Sunny home of the olivo and tho vino, vras the chosen abodo of lsraal's wanderers, long ere tho gates of Centa opened to admit the Moorish conquerors. And abovo all, in Southern Spain had they become the favorites of fortune, vrhcre being tho principal cultivators of tho soil, thoy had aroused the jealousy and excited tho cu pidity of tho Goths" vho attempted bv a series of barbarious decrees, to drive them from tho land which their industry and intelligence had made to blossom as the rose. Tho Jewish population of Spain, of Arab descent, turned iu this dark hour, an appealing 'glance to their brethren of the C re sent, whoso banners could be eeen to raro and tho sound of whose Tecbir war cry could almost bo heard across the narrow strait which separates Spain from Africa. "Tho overthrow of tho Gothic Kings was as much achieved by tho superior information which the Saracens received from their suffering Mnsmen as by-tke resistless valor of the desert," And then shone the dawn of a glorious day for Israel's race. Hand in hand, and heart to heart, with their Moorish friends, thoy mounted the lad der of fame. Both aliko reared fair palaces and filled the highest offices of state. Tho leading physicians were Jews, and grave professors cast abroad the dazzling light of secular science, min gled with the lucent rays of Talumdical lore. An extensive and cnlightcd com Bterce ErrroBTSD this splendor, TThflo noble universities nourished for the benefit of their favored youth. Long after the fall of tho Moorish Kingdoms, tho Jews still -flourished in Spain, until the increasing strength of tho Goths brought with it increase of persecution. Gradually the Jews were deprived of their privileges, or forced to an outward compliance with the Cath olic faith under the titlo of iVlero Christians. At length the rise of Ferdinand'and Isabella, and the intro duction of Iho fatal Inquisition, sealed their fate. This moral Upas tree first Enfolded its leaves at Seville, and three of the fairest names in Spain, the Dnke of Medina Sidonia, theMarqness of Cadiz, aad tho Count of Arcos, were its first victims. The introduction of the Inquisition into Aragon was resisted with all the energy of despair; but alas! evil triumphed over good and its fell talons were again reddened with the blood of the children of the Sun. Fer dinand, in a spirit of madness, tho evil effects of which are felt in Spain to this day, determined that its delicious air should no longorbe breathed by any who did sot profess Catholicism. Baptism or exile were the alternatives. Hoic that 600.000 of the most industrious, tho ! hi est intelligent, and most enlightened of ! Spanish subjects, clinging to ! tse laiui oi Uieir lataers, re signed th delighftnl land where in they had. resided for centuries, the beautiful cities they had raised, the BBiversities. irom which Christendom drew for ages its most precious lore, the tombs of thfeir ancestors and the temples where they had worshiped tho God for whom they made this sacrifice. They had but four months to prepare for eternal exile, after a residence of as many ccatnrks, during which brief period forced sales jmd glutted markets vir tually confiscated their property. It is a calamity which tho scattered people still ranks with the desolation of Ncbuchad Bezzar and of Titus. Who, after this, should say that the Jews are by nature X SO ED ID PEOPLE. Bat the Spanish Goth, then so cruel and so h&Kghty, where is he? A despised mppUant to Uie very race wnicn lie ban- is&ed for some miserable portion ot that treasure which their habits of industrr have again accumulated. Where is that tribunal which summoned Medina Sidonia and Cadiz to its dark inquisi tion? Where is Spain? Its fall? Its xaparalleled and irremidiablc fall is mainly to bo attributed to the expulsion of thai large portion of its subjects, the most industrious and intelligent. who traced their origin to the Mosaic and Mohammedan Arabs." Many, if not the greater portion of these hapless ex ilea, sosght and found a safe asvlum in free Saxoa agtadt where, as in all ther parts of Europe, their progress, thengh sliest and-slow, was onward ever and upward. Leapisgsow the gulf of time until we arrive at the early part qf tbo littii century, we find tbeir then con dition thus portrayed in the glowing Orientalism of .Disraeli: "Ion never observe a great intellectual movement in Europe in which the Jews do not largely participate. The first Jesuits were Jews; that mysterious Bussian diplomacy waick so atoms e stern iurope is or ganized and principally carried on by Jews; that mighty revolution which is at tats moment preparing in uermanr, is entirely developing under the auspices of Jews, who almost monopolize the pro fessorial chairs of Germany. Xeander pouxiieb or spismfxii ckeistllxitt, And who is Begins Professor of Divinity u lae university oi Berlin, is a Jew. Beaary, equally famous in the same University, is a Jew. Wchl Ihe Arabic, Professor of Hid el berg, is a Jew, tho first Arabic scholar of the day and author of the life of Mahomet. A few years ago ve were applied to. by Bussia for a loan. I resolved to go myself to St. Peters burgh. I had an interview on my ar rival with the Bussian Minister of Finance, Count Caacrin. I beheld the sob of a Lithuanian Jew. Tho Joan was aosBected with tho affairs of Spain. I repaired thither in the person of the Spanish Minister, Seaor Mcndizabcl; I one like myself, the son of a Ntuvo Ckrietieno, a Jew of Arragon. From Madrid I went to Paris to consult the President of the French Council; I beheld the son of a French Jew, a hero, an Imperial Marshal, and very properly so, for who should be military heroes, if not those who worship tho Lord of Hosts. Andis'Soutt a Hebrew? Yes, and oth ers of the French Marshals, and tho most famoBs; Massesa for example; his real name was Maaasseh; but to my anecdote. The consequence of our consultations was, that some northern power should be applied to in a friendly and modiativo capacity. We fixed on' Prussia; and tho President of the Council made an appli cation to the Prussian Minister, who at tended a few days after our conference. Count Arnim XXTZ2EP THE CABIKET, And I beheM a Prussian Jew. So yon see thejfcorld is governed by very different 56rsoMges from what is imagined by those who, are not behind the scenes. But the passionate and creative genius, hat is the nearest link to Divinity, and which no huHaHfaany can destroy, though it can divert has found a me dium for its expiessioaT'ta, which you have been obliged to hew. Afcee; that scienco of harmonious sound which tho ancients recognised as most divine, and ueuiod in Uio cnum of their most beau tiful creation. Almost every great com poser and skilled musician, almost overy voico that ravishes you with its trans porting strains, spriugs from our tribes. Tho catalogue is too vast to enuniomto; too illustrious to dwell for a moment on secondary names, howovcr eminent. Enough for us tliat tho threo great creative minds, to whose oxquisito compositions all nations at this mo ment yield llossini, Meyerbeer and Mendelssohn are of Hebrew race; aud littlo do your men of fashion, your muscadins of Paris, and your dan dies of .London, as they thrill into raj tures at tho notes of a Pasta or a Grisis; littlo do they suspect that thoy are offer ing their homage to tho "sweet singers of Israel 1" From the earliest times of which American history takes coguiz ance, the free oxerciso and enjoyment of religious profession and worship have been considered tho absolute rights of individuals, recognized by our constitu tions and secured to them bv law. It is ordainod by tho constitution of tho United States that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of relicton or prohibiting the freo exercise thereof, and tho same princinlo apicars ju au ui uur ouiio constitutions, uui al though tho United States required no BEUOIOCS TEST, Eligibility to place and power in tho van ous Stato governments was confined to Trinitarian Christians. In tho Stato of Maryland tho struggle to remove tho po litical disabilities of tho Jews waxed warm in 1523-4. In Januarv. 1824. Col. Worthington delivered his famous speech in me .Maryland jjegtsiaiure, in tuo course of which he stated that he had propounded certain inquires to Solomon Etting, Esq., a leading Israelite of Balti more, as follows: What offices havo been or are now held by Hebrews? Solomon Bnth, Colonel in the American revolu tion, a distinguished ofiicor who died after tho revolution of the wounds ro ceived or their effects. Reuben Etting, Marshal of Maryland, appointed by rrcbident Jefferson, lie was also Uaj- xain oi a volunteer corps, raised verv early in Baltimore, long under his com inand, which became so numerous as to require being divided into companies and thrown into Fifth regiment Marv- land militia. Solomon Etting, Captain rum regiment Maryland militia, a pointed by Governor Paca. Ben? Cohen, Lieutenant in Columbian Volun teers. attach ed.-to the Fifth regiment Alary Land militia. Tho strongest applicable to uie suojoct is one at pros cut existing and mar be urns relatu Early in the spring of 1823 a number of spirited young men formed a vozxxttju: nirxs cosipaxt Known as the "Marion Corns." With out any previous knowledge on his part oi even uie existence ot tbis company, tney unanimously elected lUsaj. I. Cohen Uieir Captain. A commission was received from Govornor Stevens, but not qualified to, of course, in consequence of tne cxisiesco oi ine test law; tee corps . i - . ... ... - were made acquainted wiUi tins fact, and a resignation of the command on the iwt oi lapu louen louowed. At a meeting of the corps, called for that purpose, it was unanimously determined that no Captain should be elected until the fa to of this bill to repeal the test law should bo decided, and the corps is at presen commanded by the Firt Licutenantt Another eminent Hebrew i Major Mor decai M. Noah, Major in Pennsylvania, Consul to lunis for Uie American Gov eminent, and on his return to this conn try, appointed by the Legislature of New York to the important station of Sheriff oi tneir metropolis. A. A. Massais Major in the U. S. Army during tho late war, and retained in the scrrice at the re duction of the army, HE IS SOW PATHAJSTrX For the Southern department; W. P. Levy, Lieutentant in U. S. Navy, last Commander of schooner Bevenge. and altcrwards a Commodore. TheConsti tution cf Maryland of 1651 provides mat no ouicr test or qualification oucht to be required on admission to any office than such as may bo prescribed by Uus constitution. H the party shall profess to be a Jew, the declaration shall be of his belief in a future stato of re wards and punishments." The Marvland Constitution of 1SC7 provides "that no religious test ought ever to be require! as n qualification for anr office m this State " other than a declaration of belief in tho ex istence of God." Tho Constitution of Oregon declares that "No religious test shall be required as a qualification for any otnee of trust or profit. Tc-Tlay we find tho chosen people occupying high jwsitions throughout tho length of the land and iho breadth thereof. Josephs of Louisiana is in the United States Sen ate, while Einstein of New York is in the House of Representatives. Somo of the brightest lights of tho Bench and Bar of tho country are Hebrews. Tho army anu navy contain a lair proportion oi them, who, in times of trial, havo proved not nnworthy of their positions. In Europe Uieir standing is, if possible. even higher. In Germany Edward Tas ter is uie LEADER or THE Mr.KgAI.S In the Prussian Landtag and Solicitor lor Uio "Deutsche Baden Credit Bank, or "Credit Fonder." Ho has been a member of the various parliamentary bodies since 1SG5, and is far honester than Disncli, in that ho has clung to his orignal Hebrew faith ia spito of all tho advantages that apostacy oScred to an ambitious man; and his political integritv is ueyona tno rcacu oi sianacr. In 186S an activo and cntemnsine young'lawyer made his debut at the Pal ace of Justice in Paris, first attracting public a'.tenuon by a remarxablo defense oi several persons prosecuted for con spiracr. in the ioiiowinc vtar he was sent to the Corps Legitlatif Itom Bell- vil lo and Marseilles, and on September 4th, 1870, when Uio furious populace invaded Uio Legislative chamber, Leon GambtUa was proclaimed a prominent member of the Government of National Defense. Of his eloquence it has been said : "There is a wild passion ia the man which is ABHOLCTKLT nrDESCKnUllLE. His character is like tho ocean, gontlo and quiet ma calm; but imposing and awful in a storm. The orator is never cold and stately, his hollow and resound ing voico is liko that of some furious warning prophet of doom, and his fiery sentences follow one another with such rapidity that there is littlo chanco for in terruption. Another French leader. Jules Simon, is both honest and great, a lino orator, a shrewd and cautious poli tician, a patriot of noblest type, a philos opher of no mean order, and a careful student of social science; ho is one of tho foremost figures of his time. He strug gled np from tho ranks of the masses, his origin was humblo and bis youth was a perpetual battlo for brood. Another Frenchman of nolo, whoso recent death was mourned as a national calamity, was Isaac Adolph CremicHx, Miaister of Jus- tico in 184S. and a ZAalotia ilrtfnm'tar anil ciiampion oi Uio right of his oppressed brethren, in 1610 ho accompanied Sir M(M Montefioro to tho East for tho pur poso of taking activo measures in behalf of tho persecuted Jews ot Damascus. Tho greatest equity lawyer of England, who has filled tho oxaltod position of MASTER OF Till 110LLH, During tho present generation, is Sir George Jcssels, a strict momber of tho Jewish persuasion, who has been success ively Senator of tho University of Lon don, Member of Parliament, Solicitor General, and Master of tho Bolls; whilo tho acknowledged loader of tho Englih bar is Judah P. Benjamin, a Jow born in New Orleans, and who, whilo awaiting his admission to tho bar of Eacland. w rote and published the best book upon tho law ot sales, in oxistenco. But in England Disraoli stands pro-eminent in tho 15th century; his ancestors bearing a different uamo, were driven from Spain, and took rcfugo in tho Bonetian Repub lic, where, grateful to tho God of Jacob who had sustained them through unpre cedented trials, and guarded them through unheard of perils, they assumed tho name of Disraoli, a uamo never born before or since by any other family in order that their race might be forever recognized From this stock sprang tho great Premier, whoso own life is a more wondrous tale than that of Alroy, a more splendid romance than Tancred or llene tia. Tho philantropict. Sir Moses Mon tefioro, was Sheriff of Loudon, was knighted by tho Queen ujHjn the occasion of her visit to the citv in 1S1G, and was shortly afterwards niaJo a baronet. In 1&40, with Cremicux, and on several other occasions, ho visited the East in behalf of thoDamascan Hebrews. In 1 SIC, he persuaded tho Emperor Nicholas to suspend tho execution of an EDICT AO ARC ST TKZ JEWS, And was invited to visit Poland to con cert measures of relief for his suffering brethren in that unhappy country. In 1S54. ho collected funds for tho famine stricken inhabitants of tho Eat, and se cured from the Sultan the privilege of holding real estate in Jerusalem, where ho built poor houses and encouraged in dustry and agriculture. In 1SC3, with the help of Queen Elizabeth at Madrid, he procured a firman from tho Sultan of Morocco putUng his Jewish subjects upon an equal footing with bis Christian ones. In his S2d year, he mado his last visit to Palestine, to assist tboe who had sut ferod with the cholera, and whoto crops had been destroyed by locusts. Tho next vear ho went to Bucharest, to use his infirenco against the ill treatment of tho Jews of Bou mania. In 15x57 ho endowed the Jewish College at Bamsgate in honor of his deceased wife. On September 24th, 16K, he was presented with the freedom of. the city of London and a valuable present in to ken of his benevolence. In Spain Emilo Castdar ranks with the foremost fen of the age, as an eminent orator and un compromising Republican. In 1SC4 he founded a journal called "La Dcmocra &a. in which be developed his social and political principles, lie was COXDEV5ED TO DEATH In 1$C6, bnt escaped into France. In 1SGS he returned to Spain, became member ot tho Cortex and a leader of the Republican partr. He is considered the ablest political orator in Spain, became Almwter oi 1-oreign Anairs in 15 1 3, and was President of the Sjunhh Republic Irom September lb 3, to January lb. Unce on a time, as tho lairy tales recite, William IX, Langravo of Hesse was ab- sorlvd in a game of chess, behind his chair, silent and attentive to overy move, stood an unobtrusive Hebrew. awaiting an audienco with the Prince. The game was going against Win., who turning, sud denlv asked, "Do you understand chess?" "Snfficicntlv well, your serene Highness, to induce me, were the game mine, to castle on tho King's side." That was a master stroke, turning defeat into victory, and so dclighUng tho King that he said. "You are a wio man; he who can extricate a chess-player from such a diSculty as I was in, must have a very clear head for business." That wary counsellor was Mayer Ansclm Botha- child, the first great Knight of the Red Shield; that luckv hint secured to the banker the use of 540,000,000 and gen erations of financial glory. The success of the Rothschilds is too well known to need repetition here; one of that family, however, was (in 1S5S) tho first Hebrew to o liter tho British Parliament, from which his rsco had been before exclud ed. In that year a statute was passed, allowing either house to dispense with the clause in the oath requiring Uie mem' bcr to swear "upon the true faith of z Christian," whenever in its opinion the public interest required it. Proclaimed m the United States and France, the rights of the Jews were recognized in Holland, Belgium, Denmark, parts of r - t- t - , uunnuij, vauiub anu Jamaica, anu in 161S-9, throughout Germany, Italy, Hungary, and finally ia Norway and xji gland. Among their HOST ZEALOUS DETEXDEBS Were tho Frenchman Gregoire, the Pole czacki. Uio German elckcr. the Irish man O'Conncll, the Englishman Lord John Russell, the Italian D'Azeglio. and tho Hungarian Eotvos, all Christians; the Jews by descent Borne and Disraeli, ami tho professing Jews Jacobssohn, Tugenhold, Biesscr, Philipssohn. Mon tefioro and Cremicux. Tho revolutionary movement oi 1M-J proved Uio immense progress of tho Jews as woll as public opinion since tho days of Mendelssohn and Leasing. Tho Jews Cremieux, Good chaux and Fould (Minister of State) were among tho ministers of tho French republic. Pinchcrle was a member of tho Provisional Government of Venice. Jacobi, of Honigsbcrg, was leader of the opposition in tho Berlin Parliament. Reisvcr was Vice President of that of Frankfort. Dr. Fischhof stood at tho head of affairs in Vienna after the flicht of tho Court. Meiscls. tho Rabbi of Cracow, was elected to the Austrian Diet by tho Polish patriots. Jow were offi cers of high rank in tho Hungarian army, chief of whom was tho Adjutant Freund. afterwards Mahmond Paidin during tho war in Turkey. And hero let mo quote tho words of an eloquent East cm journalist, 8okcn at tho fair given in aid of tho BALTOIOUE HEBREW 0 ETHAN' AKTLCV! History records no such wonderful ox amplo us tLat of tho proscribed Hebrew race, thonch rrjirvr.nfnriw nt nviln persecution, clinging to tho faith of their fathers, and keeping unsullied the mom vi j ui uiw luniicr gruuiui-M.

To-dny tho world contains about 5,500,000 Hebrews. Through tho blessing of God, thoir long night of sorrow seems to havo drawn to a close, and tho glorious spirit of Uio nineteenth century, addressing Uicm iu cheering accents, exclaims, " VtriUu, ro liltrahit!" tho truth shall mako you free.

Hitherto Amsterdam hat monopolized tho work of diamond cut ting; ami the aim thero hat been to re move in cutting tho least txnaiblo weight of tho'goin. Tho American plan is to cut mathematically, according to recog nised laws of light so as to sccuro tho utmost brilliancy for tho finished stone. The greater loss in weight, a comjnretl with thu Amsterdam cutting, is thus moro than mado good by Uio superior brilliancy of tho product. From tho in quiries made by Chief Special Census Agent Chas.
