SPEECH OF COL. NORMAN EDDY, . [Extracts from a speech delivered by Col. Norman Eddy, at Remington, Wednesday, July 20th, as reported by the Winamag Democrat. | { Col. Norman Eddy was then called upon, and addressed the Convention. He noticed the claim of Gov. Morton and others to the greateconomy in the administration of State affairs, and success of his own and the present administration in paying off the State debt, or what he called the Deémocratic debt, and the self gratulatory manner with- which he contrasted them with preceding democratic administrations. Mr. Eddy showed how that debt -had been created, and that the first the democratic party had to do “with it was to take it when it was sixteen millions of dollars, with a bankrupt Treasury and practical repudia‘tion. covering the State like the pall of death. That a democratic administration commenced where economy always commences—at home, by vigorously retrenching every, superfluous expense ; thatit adjusted and arranged with its creditors a toreign debt of $15,000,000, and through the provisions of the Butler bill, released and discharged the State from one-half of that debt, by subjecting the Wabash canal and canal lands with their appurtenances, to its payment. That very soon thereafter in 1852, the same par- ‘ ty made provision for -the. ultimate payment of the residue—by icreating a “State debt ginking fund” and levying a tax of 2 cents on each $lOO upon the duplicate, for each successive year until liquidated. That this provision ‘had been enlarged by the Legislature of 1860—1, but the principal had been retained, and to it, and to increased taxables and largely increased taxation ‘was the present condition of the State attriubtable ; that if the State was relieved from the incubus of debt, it wasnot because anything more was saved, ‘but because the people’s pockets had | been rcached by the itax gatherer to | the amount paid. s ; In relation to the finances of the General Government the .claim to economy rested upon similar and no better grounds. Congress had been profuse in aid given to corporate and private enterprises, and to sectional undertakings. ' The expenditures for army ar:l navy had been marked by extravagance and waste—this charge rested upon republican authority rather than demecrat’c—but- was nevertheless trne. There’ was shown to have béen expended on the army nearly $70,000,000 and navy over $30,000,000 —the former with no enemies but broken bands of Indians and the latter, with scarcely a ship to fdoat an armament, and yet the support of both has cost the country within the last| fiscal year as much as the first year of war with Mexico during Mr. Polk’s administration. That whilé the administration was claiming to have carried on the Government at an expense of $314,000,000, the expenditures for the fiscal year just closed had been near $375,000,000, and had been far beyond the appropriations or estimates of Congress and departments for -the yeamr. 5 : th j.

- The payments made in extinetion of the public debt were with funds de rived from customs under the act of February 1864, and balances in the Treasury not reached by appropriations. The avails of these payments are 5-20 bonds in the sinking fund, upon which the people pay a coin interest of 6 per cent., and will continue to pay it as long as they remain there. That thus far the Government has ostengibly diminished the debt without diminishing the burthen. ! After briefly discussing the Tariff and its oppressive exactions upon the people, and especially on the. West, he closed. e

The Goose. Josh Billings says the goose is a grass animal, but don’t chew her cud. They are good livers—about one aker to a googe is enough. But don’t think if I had a farm uv 175 akers awl paid fur, that I would sell it fur. ‘what it wuz.worth, just becoz it d'dn’t hev but one goose on it. Geese stay well, some our biographers say sixty years, and grow tough to the last. They are good eatin but not good chawin ; the reason of this remaining a profound sekret to this day. | When the femail goose is at” work hatching, she is 4 hird burd to pleze ; she riles klear up frum the bottum in a minit, and ‘will fite a yoke of oxen if they sho her the least bit uv sass. - . The geese are excellent fur fethers. But &gy.are more kurious about one thing; they kan haul one leg up into their body, and stand on 't‘oth”er‘lwl ‘ gayaa‘nd not tuch anything with their anag, : . e v y

- Blackberry Reéipes, As we are in the midst of the blackberry season, we subjoin a few recipes for different preparations of that common, but excellent and healthful fruit: Blackberry Cordial.—The follawing is said to be not only an excellent beverage, but a cure for diarrhcea, ete.-— To half a bushel blackberries, well mashed, add one-half pound of alspice, two ounces of cinnamon, and tiree ounces of cloves. Pulverize well, mix, and boil slowly until properly done; then strain or squeezethe juice through homespun or flannel, and add to ¢ach pint of the juice one pound of loaf sugar. Boil again for some time, take it off, and while cooling add half a gallon of the best Cognac brandy. Dose for an adult, half a gill to a gill; for a child, half a teaspoonfal or more, acacording to age. - iy Blackberry Wine.—Gather = when ripe, on a dry day. Put into a vgssel with the head out., and a tip'gtted near the bottom ; pour on them boiling water to cover them. Mash the berries with your hands, and let them stand covered until the pulp rises to the top, and forms a 'erust in.three or four days. Then draw off the fluid into another vessel, and to every gallon add one pound of sugar. Mix well, and put into a cask to work for a “week or ten days, and throw off any remaining dregs, : keeping the cask well filled, particularly at the commencement. Vg’hen working has ceased, bung it down ; after six or twelve months it may be bottled. Blackberry Wine and Cordial. —We add another recipe which has been extensively published, and is highly commended. It is as follows :

To make a wine equal in value to port, take ripe blackberries or dewberries and press them ; . let the juice stand thirty-six hours to ferment; skim off whatever rises -to the _top, then to every gallon of the juice add a quart of water and three pounds of sugar; (brown sugar will do;) let this stand in open vessels for twentyfour hours, skim and strain it, then barrel until March, when it should be carefully racked off anl bottled.— Blackberry cordial is made by adding one pound of white sugar to three pounds of ripe blackberries, allowing them to stand twelve hours; then press out the juice, straining it, adding onethird spirit, and put a teaspoonful of finely powdered alspice in every quart of the cordial, it is’'at once fit for use. This wine and cordial are very valuable medicines in the treatment of weakness of the stomach and bowels, and are especially valuable in. the summer complaints of children. . - Another Recipe for Blackberry Wine. —The following recipe for making blackberry wine is given by the Richmond Ainerican: Measure your berries. and bruise them, to every gallon adding a quart of boiling water. Let the mixtare stand twenty-four hours, stirring occasionally, then strain off the liquor in/ a cask, to every gallon adding two pounds of sugar; cork tight and let it stand until the follow! ing October, and you have wine ready for use without boiling or straining, that will make your lips smack as they never smacked before under such in} fluences. . - ; 3

Blackberry Jam.—Gather the fruit in dry weather ; allow half a pound of good brown sugar to every pound of fruit; boil the whole gently together for an hour, or until the blackberries are soft, stirring and mashing them well. Preserve it like any other. jam, and it will be found very useful in families, particularly for children—regulating their bowels and enabling you to dispense with cathartics. It may be spread on bread or on puddings instead of butter : aud cven when the blackberries are bought it it is cheaper than Lutter. Pl ;

Artemas Ward in describing fis journey from California says: “The driver with whom I gat outside informed me, as we rolled slowly down the fearful mountain road wgich looks down on ejther side into an appalling ravine, that he has met with accidents in his time and cost the California stage company a great deal of money, becausg,” said be “juries is agin us on principle, and every man who sues us is sure to recover. But it will never be so agin, not with me, you bet,”— “How is that?” I sald. It was was frightfully dark. T was snowing withal, and notwithstanding the brakes were kept hard down, the coach slewed wildly, often fairly touching the brink of the black precipice. ‘How is that ? I said. “Why, you see, he replied, “that corpses never gue for damages, but;maimed people do. And the next time I have an overturn, I shall go around and keerfully examine the passengers. Them as is dead, I shall let alone;; but them as is mutilated, I shall finish with the king-bolt! Dead folks don’t sue. They ain’t on it.”’— Thus, with an anecdote did this driver cheer me up.

* BAD FOR THE TURTLES.—A curious and cruel way of cookingbturtles aYlPpears in a chinese cookery book.— he turtle is placed in a vesszel of water on the fire, with a lid over it hav-: ing an aperture of such size and so arranged that the'turtle can just get his head out, and within reach of highly spiced wine. As the temperature of the water increases, so "does his thirst, and he egradmlly goes on drinking the seasoned fluid until the heat kills him, by which time his whole system is im~ pregnated with the vino-aromatic seagoning, and a flavor described as deli. cious, is imparted to the flesh.

The history of Mexico shows that during the last 40 years Mexico has had 37 different’ forms of government, 32 of which were republic #nid 75 presidents. - Its revolutions du’rin‘%&that time haveamounted to over2oo. Many years since, a Mexican protectorate was urged uvpon the United States Senate i{ Gen. Houston, upon’ the ground that the Mexican people otherwise would fall a prey to some European power. The project was condemned and abandoned. {

R B S Be S D R SSR P T T e How Southern Illinois Cande to be : Called Egypt. 1§ 1 ‘l"mg‘(.ﬁo “Bel'eville (I1I.) Advocate. 'We have seen several e?ﬁnajions as to the origin of Southern IHinois being called Egypt. Owing to its strong pro-slavery proglivities it hasbeen generally supposed to bave received the appellation from the: darkness and political ignorauce that prevailed, while different explanations have been given by various writers. . 'We have received the following letter from one of the oldest residents of this county. His explanation seems to us the most probable of any we have yet seen and he aspares us of his pergonal knowledge of the facts as stated by him. |He informs us that it was written for publication. 12 years ago, and it bears date .of December, 1853, but it got mislaid and has never been publ%ged: I

. “MR. EDITOR—I have never seen the right reason assigned why southern Illinois came to be called Egypt. Some of the Ohicago papers say it was in consequence of the heathenish darkness an:1l ignorence that prevailed among the peéople. This is not 0. I will tell you {;owr.- it came by that name, = In the early gettlement of the Sangany country, as it was then called, before the counties of Sangamon and Greene . were organized, there were several families who emigrated to these counties from St. Clair.— Among the number there was an old man named Levi Day. Every sprin% he returned, in company with several others, to this country to get seed corn. For three or four years after these counties were settled the insects and frost so injured the corn, that it would not answer for seed. The third year that Levi Day came down he stopped at my father’s house over night, and to get his sced corn. The same night Gov. Ford, John Mears, and David Blackwell stopped at my father’s’ house. Daring the evening Mr. Day remarked that he had to come down to Egypt to buy corn every year.— That idea so pleased Ford and Blackwell that they published it, and southérn Illinois has gone by the name of Egypt ever since. :

A ZEPHYR.—A Nevada paper says that a ‘“zephyr” came alqng into Virginia City, took up a 2,200 pound car off the railroad track, and carried it u over house tops and ‘everything, ang dumped it down a half a mile off. - A Nevada zephyris a gale elsewhere. it A — ’ Bad for France. ' ** The Paris correspondence of the New York World says: “France is now isolated. .She hasnot an ally; for I do not reckon Anstria asan| ally. Let her budge, and she falls to pieces. Were Austria weak enough to go to war she. would disappear from the map of Europe. Her German population would become Prussians ; the kingdom of Hungary would absorb the others. ' It is almost certain Russia would join Prussia, and they might induce Italy, by promising all the possessions Austria still holds in Italy and Rome, to enter the alliance. - Obliged to keep a large army in Algeria, another on-the Spanish frontier, something of an army at Rome, strong forces near all the manufacturing centers, France would entet the war overweighted. She might win Italy to her side by promising Rome and A ustria’s Adriatic possessions, recompensing Austria with Prussian territory. These measures would, however, make the Catholic clergy hostile to the Ewpire, and unite the Germans w'th Prussia. .Even were France successful in this war, hated by Spain, Italy, Prussia and Russia, you would see these powers—Europe, as I might say—wait for an epportunity to overwhelm France.” $5 0 el P————— “ The Last Sensation. A new religious sect is attracting some attention in Jeffersonville, Ind. It is a branch of the soul sleepers, but engrafts on the soul sleeper’s creed so much of Millerism as to believe that Christ is about to make his second appearance.— They believe that the events in Europe. indicate that the great battle of Armagiddon is about to begin. The prospect of the most terrific conflict the world has éver seen, being now inaugurated fills them with unbounded joy, since they see in it the fulfillment of prophecy—the beginning of an era -in which they are to rule the whole earth as the vice regents of Christ. This sect is not numerous, but their faith is umbounded. They call themselves Christadelphians.

. ' THE HESSIANS. : From the Chicago Journal. ! The principal reason why the eause of Prussia has beeomie the national cause ot Germany is found in the fact that, through Prussia, Germany is'in a fafr way of getting rid of the many petty rulers who have proved so oppressive to the people, and exposed the German niame to so much

Sueb a petty Prince was the soverfign of Hesse. At the time of our war of In'dependence, the Prince, being unable to raise any more money to entertain his numerous and expensive mistresses, concluded to sell a portion of his people to the ‘highest bidder. England was the successful bidder, and ‘the people were consequently shipped exactly as though they had been so much mérebandise.— The poor fellows, thus torn: from their families and homes, lost in a manner that sympathy for others which was so ruth: lessly denied to them. 'Their conduct in the American war was unjustifiable, if the common versione of that war are correct ; but it must be considered that the'Americans had been represented to thenyas outlaws, and what seemed to be ‘worse than that, as rebelsto their lawful King. At the conclusion of the war but few return: ed home ; many had long before deserted the English army, and they, with all the rest, settled in the States, and at the shores of that same Delaware river along which they had formerly fought. Many of these Hessians succeeded in gaining for themselves ‘wealth and influence. It is said that one of our best Generals is a direct descendant from such a Hessian, ‘and there can be no doubt that the blood of these ‘Hessians constitutes quite an important portion of the considerably mixed “American blood.” j

The Hessians were among thie most oppressed of Germans, In 1808 their Prince forced them to join. the French under Napoleon L. . They fought against Prussia as much as they fought against the United States, and yet unscrupulows and incompetent writers conple the case of the Hes. sians of 1777 with the case of Prussia and France in 1870, carefully omitting, however, to refer to the case of 1806. - At the same time we find these writers culogizing the French for having assisted. us, and yet French assistance was a mere accident, and, at best, merely a stroke of policy. France and England were at war. What more natural than to aim a blowat England by making common cause with the colonies? The French soldiers were not asked, any more than the Hessians had been, whether they would go or not. They had to go by the King’s command. That the noble Lafayette and other generous Frenchnten came over on their own aacord, should never be forgotten, bat their case has a parallel— that of the Prussian Baron Steuben, of DeKalb, and numerous other Germans who fought on our side. ) ; RPT

The most curious thing about the matter is, that the assistance we derived from France was given us by the King of France who was a Bourbon, and that this act of the “Bourbon” King wasin no true sense the act of the French nation.— In fact, both cases (of the Hessians and ot the French) are exactly parallel in so far as in either case it was not the people but the people’s master who deterinined the matter. : 5 <y

If we owe gratitude to any one it is to the house of Bourbon, but the Bourbons do not now ruie France, and hence that consideration cannot have the slightest weight in determining our sympathies for France ruled by Napoleon 111. On the contrary, we cannot help -seeing that France, who is to day again intriguing with the Hessian ruler fqr the overthrow of Prussia, is the same France which, only afew years ago, used her influence against us, and that the French ruler who invaded Mexico is the same who is now on the point of invading Prussia. - ————— — | Filmore on Individual Liberty. "~ A Correspondent of the New York Sun recently had an interview at Niagara Falls with Ex-President Filmore. That gentleman, who was for many years in the House of Represéntatives of the United States, thus expressed himself in regard to one of the greatest outrages upon individual liberty ‘that was ever perpetrated in this or any other country.— He said : e AL R :

“It was the récent absorption of the executive ‘and judicial branches of the Government by the legislative, when Congress arrested Pat: Woods for a local offense,became judge and jurors, and finally executed their own sentence Dy actually imprisoning an American citizen for three months in the District of Columbia prison. ‘Why, sir,’ said the venerable statesman, with his eyes beaming with solicitude for his country, ‘this. is the first great strikeat the root of American institutions. It is the fundamental principle of this Government thst the legislative, judicial and executive shall be forever separate, and that the person of one man shall not' be sacred above another. Blackstone teaches that the ‘king’s person ‘s sacred ;' but this idea died with the coming of Democracy. The Constitution, Declaratiom, and every thing in the writings of Jefferson and Hamilton are against it.’” : 4 ~lf this is permitted to pass unredrqséf;a’ by the courts and the people, it will constitute a fearful precedent in the future, and no one can foresee the extent of the despotism to which it will certainly lead.

The Strength of Party Prejudice. - " The 'Enguirer says that for several years intelligent Republicans have made Do secret, in private conversation with Democratic friends, of their disgust at the manner in which political affairs were being managed in this ‘country by the Administration which they bad - assisted to elect. 'They have recognized in the clearest manncr the evils and the mon‘strous corruptions which have’ becore associated with legislation in the Federal and State Capitals. They have deplored them, and manifested a great anxiety to see them remedied, But regularly, at every election, these same Republicans bave, after the most bitter dennuciation of the messures passed at Washington, marched” up ‘to-the polls and’ deposited their tickets for a contintiation and perpetuation of the rule of those who wére responsible for the ‘corruptions. They have apparently lacked the cdumge‘ toact according - to their honest . convictions;— They have allowed their votes to be swayed by a foolish prejudice of -the past against the Democratic party—a prejudice the unreasonableness * and folly of which ‘¢dn not be overestimated. ' There are thousands and tens of thousands of - men who have been voting for the last six years against their} better judgments, merely’ hy the force of old associations and party relations. It is high time these men awoke from this dishonorable course and took a position more manlyand honest. Ttis 'high time they became more patriotic and less partisan, and were wil--ling to save the country even it it involved an instrumentality against which they had a prejudice. We have great hopes this tall that there will be'a change, and that the Republicans who are convincel that everything now is going to destruction, will vote the present dynasty out of power and puta new one in that will avert it. B : L The School Fund—lts Origin; The;lndianapolis Sentinel, in speaking of the origin-of the school fund, sdys :— “The Republiean State |officials say that. the total indebtedness of the State to the school fund is $3,557,316.15. This sum is placed in & non-negotiable bond of the Stute, bearing interest at six per cent. per annum—a total annual interest of $213,078.96 that'is distributed to the various counties for educational purposes. This fund came from the ‘earnings of the State Bank of Indiana. When the proposition for the charter of that Bank was before the Legislature at the: session of 1833 34, the Democrats, -then in the minority, tried ‘to defeat'it, but Goyernor Whitcomb, then in the State Senate, finding that the charter would be granted, proposed an amendment to the -bill, providing that a certain per centage of the earnings should be set ‘apart as a sinking fund, the interest upon which should eventually be used for educational purposes. ‘The suggestion met with the bitter opposition of the Whig meinbers, who were then in the maJjority, bilt_througll the persistent efforts of the Democratic members 1t was carried. ‘ That was the origin of the present mag. nificent educational . school fund of Indiana. It was a Democ:atic. proposition.— The Whigs wanted all the profits of the bank too go to the stock holders. Then,ns now, the opposition to the, dé}iloéracy were monopolists, in favor of privileged classes and of legislation to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. It was the sagacity of the Democratic members of the Legislature of 1833.84 that defeated the selfish schemes of their political opponents, and forced an amendmeht to the charter of a gigantic monopoly that ‘has culminated in the accumulation of a permanéat school fund of over three and a half millions of dollars.” .

T ee e e e e oA Hing William’s Speech at the Opening ./ efthe North German Parßiiaies & =Fhe-following-is “the-fuil “text-of the spoccl of the King, in opening thio Nox() German Parliament, July 19th: " = - -HoNORED GmI%FKEN CF. THE PanLIAMENT OF THE NorRTH GERMAN CoNFEDERATION :— When, at your last megting, I bade you welcome from this place ‘in the name of the sll,lef governments, it was with joy and gratitude that T was able to bear witness to the fact that, by the help of God, success had rewarded my singere efforts to meet the wishes of the people and . the ‘requirements of civilization by avoiding any distarbgnoe of tlic peate of Europe. . If-notwitbstanding -this assarance, the menace and immineace ~of war have now: laid upon the ﬁont‘mer atc governments the duty of calling you togetgher for aﬁ‘éﬁfﬁéfain{ir} 'spésic?xﬁ gnu as well asourselves will be animated with ‘thie ‘conviction' that the North German confederation has labored to improve the national forces, no‘z to imperil, but to afford a greater protection to universal peace; ana that- when we call upon this national army to defend our independence we only obey the mandates of honor and ‘duty. The candidacy of a German.prince for the Spanish throne, both' with the bringing forward and the withdrawal of which the confederate governments wergf equally unconcerned, and which only interested the North German confederation, in 8o far as the government of a friendly country appeared to base upon its success the hope of acquiring for a sorely-tiied people & pledge for a regulnr,,and peace: ful government, afforded the Emperor of the French a pretext for a casus belli, put forward in a manner long since anknown in the annals of diplomatic intercourse, and adhered: to afé‘)r the removal of the very pretext itself, with the disregard to the people’s right to the ‘blessings of peace of which the history of a former ruler of France affords so many analagous cxamples. If Germany in former centuries bore in silenee such violations of her rights and of her honors, it was only because in her then-divided state she knew not her own strength. To-day, when the links of intellectual and: rightful community, which began to be knit together at the time of the wars of liberation, join slowly the different Gérman races ; to-day, that Germany’sargument léaves no longer an opening to the enemy, the German nation contains within itself the will and the power to repel the renewed aggressions of France. It is notarrogance that puts these words in my mouth. The confederate governments and myself are acting with full consciousness that victory and defeat are in the ‘hands of Him who decides the fate of battles - With _a ‘clear "gaze we have measuréd the responsibility which before the judgment seat of God and of mankind, must fall upon him" who drags two great: and -peace loving people of the heart of Europe into a devastating war. ' The German and French peoples— both equally enjoying and desiring the blessings of a Christian civilization and of an increasirg prosperity—are all called to a more wholesome rivalry than the sanguinary conflict. of arms. Yet those” who hold power in France, have, by preconcerted misguidance, found means to work upon the:legitimate, but excitable natiormal sentiments of our great neigliboring ‘people for the furtherance of personal interests and the gratification of passions. The more the confederate governments are concious of having done all our honor and dignity permitted to preserve to Europe the blessings of peace—and the more indubitable. it shall appear to' ali minds that the sword has' been thrust into eur ‘hands—so much the ~more confidently shall we rely upon the united will of the German governments, both- of the narth and south, and upon. your love of country ;. and so much the more - confidently we shall fight for our right against the "violence of foreign invaders, inasmuch as we pursue no other object than the durable establishment of peace in Europe. God will be with us, as he was with our forefathers. ; A 5
