Though I do not consider Carl Schurz the giant, who bears and sup ports on bis shoulders the atlas of the Republican party, but I concede it to be a certain fact that the German vote in the I.epublican party will be led by independent men of talent, and by in dependent German newspapers. The educated German is not a strict party man: he thinks ior himself, acts ac- cording to his convictions, and is en tirely independent. This peculiarity of character is the reason why the in dependent position, which Carl Schurz has lately taken, will find everywhere in German ranks, praise and applause. Only in this regard will I mention and argue a few points of the speech of Carl Schurz. Carl Schurz made a well prepared speech, on August 12, at Chicago, in the German language. This speech was also written out by him in Eng lish and published in the Chicsgo Tri bune. Now if you compare the speech in German and in English, you will find that Schurz omitted in the Eng lish revision, tne touowing paseT "I don't consider the great struggle in politics as a comedy, but as an ear nest and sacred subject. I know only right and duty, and I am concious of ray responsibility, when accusing the President of the most evident nsurpa pation and violation of the Constitu tion in sending war vessels' to Hayti with instructions to beleagure and threaten violence to a friendly power. Not a shadow of justification Can ex cuse this act of usurpation, from which a war could arise, pernicious to the honor and wealth of this Republic, as the war was destructive in lonmer years to the fleet and army .sent by France to Hayti. I shall neve-Mjeaso to contend with all energy against sanctioning this usurpation as a prece dence, and 1 snau never approve oi this violation of the Constitution, by suHlirtihg the re-election of Grant as IVesrorent, under no circumstances whatever." Mr. Schurz exaggerates the. pbove mentioned act of the Administration, signifying it as the most abominable infringement of the Constitution which ever occurred in the history of" the United States. If there is any truth in this accusation, it could only be a mis- much power in protecting Dominica against Hayti. But admitting.tbw h. n. mistake, it had not the li rimiB conseauences. nor thc.le; rnDtion of friendly commerce Havti. -Now comparethis-trivia'j l withemt any2insequence, Iwi r.il .ll-J 1 Mfciini r r.A&1l7 W Jackson, or t - n w-nj.v Buauwmont'Afue Mexieaniwar .:-...- -- " - 1 Polk, orthe'pufchase of Louisiana by Jefferson, without any previous con-; i.nl nt rVirxrrnfiQ inPSO SCIS OC'lllW HUH VIA WUUg..ui , - - ..;,1nitl,r X itin liistnrv of the kltcl States and were transgressio-i np.vertheless. wise, and theref proved by,the country. t Mr. Sc)iurz further defends tines a general amneu.y, the Ku-h-lux law as unjusi tic. affirminn that the 11 rages hadHueir only origHj nrivation of elicibilitv of leaders.

Finally, I cannot omit to mention, that this speech of Carl, Schurz's is made nsc of by the D&ecrats as a campaign document isf'tiie'veominrr Presidential election. Can Mr. Schurz consent to furnish with arms the Democratic!1 party, the enemy of all great principles of liberty and reiorm, lor which he has lived and fought? Taxation and its Ddties. Though, subsequent to the war of rebellion, we found ourselves involved in a debt oi such vast magnitude that a large amount had to bo raised by taxation in order to meet the accruing interest; yet when we consider that this debt was inenrred in preserving the unity of this Republic, no true re publican or freeman can regret this enormous expenditure of treasure and blood, spent in behalf of a country that has been the asylum of freemen of all civilized nations, and that is yet to be come the future home of 'untold mil lions of the hnman race, seeking refuge in a land where despotism is unknown. When we contrast this debt of ours with that of European nations nations which Tiave incurred debts in wars, originating in the personal ambition of Moriarchs, either to preserve particular dynasties or to maintain the so called equilibrium of Europe, or some other foolish notion, we cannot but congrat ulate ourselves that we are exempted from a taxation which impoverishes the people only the more to enslave them and perpetuate despotism. Though debts will always be a source of vexation to nations, neverthe less a republic like ours fnll of energy, vigor and strength to stand up under this bnrthen, and, moreover, with a constant increase of population and development of resources, ought never to complain-) lor-oaoU year under a wise Republican administration as we now have, the debt is being decreased and becoming less and less oppressive, so that .the coming, if not the present generation, will be able to wholly ex tinguish it, floweret great the fiacrancc" may be, the true American citizen can never murmur a word of reproach against a debt that has kept the Union and in tegrity, freed it from the evils of slav ery, protected the rights ot all, and spared it the disgrace of being split up into repulsive tactions. Our debt is not an inheritance charged with a perpetual annuity, but a debt incurred by the people for the rtpeoplc, and in which each and every muiviuuai uas lurcsieu uis tjuuru, iuu accruing interest of which, the perpet uation of free institutions, through which all are equal. before thKw and equally protected'withont any distinc tions or prerogatives, is an interest dearer to an AmeHL4han any sacra fice of treasHreipwPMVgreat it may The Net? DepaetdkU. "The New'Departuro is a bad blow for, the Democracy a good thing for the Republicans," says Brick Pomeioy. In fa(ct,vsQ say many of tho leading Democrats, and more think it without speaking it If the- Democracy is wrong, why don't every true anu iion est man of that party forsake it. "Yes," Brick says "and go "straight over to the Republicans."' The lact is, which has Decome paieni on its face, that the Democracy have become tired and ashamed of their principles (if they have any) and their leaders : and now, upon the eve of an other Presidential campaign) theyare o' once aroused to the conciousness that they have been following all these long years just past, men instead of principles', and that those men who have been fortnflate enough to be lo cated in large cities,, where corruption is the greatest and where Democracy rules, nave succeeueu in hihiiit iui-ir purses out of the taxes wrenched from the innocent tax-payers.

The Contest h Wo published lastVeek a portion ot a document from the Congressional Executive Committer entitled as above and herewith give additinal extracts from the same : The document gives an itemized ac count of the recent expenditures, under Democratic administration, on public buildings in the city and county of New York, aggregating $9,789,482 16, and then adds that m relation to these enormous frauds, Secretary Delano, in his Sandusky, Ohio speech, says: - "This ernmnle ondht to hn gnffim.nf It illustrates the venality, peculation. and political prostitution which cover tho Tammany Democracy, and render its' moral atmosphere and presence feculent, obnoxious, and "infamous. Here was paid a larger sum for repairs, carpets, and furniture for county of fices, than tho present Administration paid, in the same year, for mail trans portation throughout the United States; nearly three times as much as the en tire diplomatic expenses for two years past; as much as tho yearly cost of collecting the customs revenue; more than all tho miscellaneous expendi tures of the Interior Department for either year of the present Administra tion, and more than tho entire annual expenses of the Indian Burean. Here is a larger sum paid in eleven months for plastering than the entire expenso of the United States for foreign inter course during the present Administra tion; and more for plnmbing and. gas fitting in one year, than the expenses attending all the public buildings and grounds in Washington city- There was paid more money to threo men for such expenditures, in one year, than was paid for tho collection of tho en tire internal revenue ofthe country in any year of thepresenttirainistration; more than double theexpense of the United States courts for two years, and' more than all the expenses of the Forty-first Congress.. "With such a policy as this trans ferred to Washington, the Democratic clamor that the national debt must not be paid off now, would bo found full ot meaning and lull ot danger, rublic credit would fall, and distrust of all public secunties be openly avowed. The Government could not long sur vive such management." Lest it be said we quote only from Republican authority, wo will" give a brief extract from the speech of a life long Democrat, Robert B. Roosevelt: undoubted guilt of jficials. THE city of- "That they are guilty no man who has read the statements doubts fo moment, and no one believes mat an; such sums were actually expended on the court-house. Nevertheless. I have been informed ,'thatlhbuilding,, in stead ot(COStiBg''3,000,Q0U 01-5,000,. 000, as LsiBcged, tho latter being snp poaeTfobijtho extreme limit, has ac tually costtever $12,000,000. To prove this I 'have been shown the figure's purporting to have been taken fr6m the Controller's books; but I hope I was deceived, and that they were ex aggerations. But of the facts distinctly all erred in the tmblic press there can be no question.' It is admitted by de- fault that millions on millions ot the public money have been paid to a few Obscure individuals, tor which they neither did or could nave performed equivalent labor, while a little printing company of 825,000 capital has receiv ed $J ,500,000 from the county alone in one year. ' That it may not be said that the New York Democrats are exceptional, a further extract from the speech ol Secretary Delano is appended, showing some ot tne Dcauues oi uemocrauc KENTUCKY FTNANCIEBINO. "If it shall bo objected that Demo cratic financiering in New York does not correctly represent its average ability and integrity, then I propose briefly to refer tho objector to one other example. Kentucky has never been corrupted by the control or di rection of Republicans. It has been and is the refuge and asylum of those who, like tho Rev. Petroleum V. Nas by, are compelled to leave other locali ties for righteousness sake. I will, therefore, present tho condition of financiering in this State na it was re cently stated by theiRepublican candi date, General J."M. Harlam, for Gov ernor: "The Republican narty charge the Democratic party with squandering the public money of tho State ot Ken tucky. I desire to say something to you about the State debt.
