THE LIBERAL REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT.
(jireat Speech of Carl Scliurz at Cooper iustitute, New York City. ADMINISTRATIVE RECKLESSNESS.
You remember the outcry which was raised in the times of James BuchanaD, when he employed the patronage of the Government to sustain himself, and promote his own political interests against those of his party, who advocated different opinions. If James Buchanan lived to-day, he would have to admit that, in that line of business, he was a pusillanimous bungler. Never has the hand of the National Administration been thrust into the local politics of State with greater audacity. Never has the patronage controlling the public service been more recklessly used to promote the interest of factions, or to further personal aspirations. As in France, under Louis Napoleon's rule, we heard of official candidatures dictated and supported by the Government, so we hear ill this Republic, all over the land, of Grant candidates for State offices, and for Congress now, whose recommendation is the official stamp, who are to be supported by all wh/desire thelavorof the Government, and whose personal services are expected as a condition of that support. it was our pride as Republicans once to say, that in no party .there had ever existed such a freedom of criticism aud individual opinion. So it was when Abraham Lincoln was President. Every Republican spoke his mind freely, and found in him a President who instead of resenting, invited candid criticism, and who respected every honest conviction, even if that conviction run couuter to his personal desires. But things have changed. If now you ever conceive an opinion contrary to the interests aud controlling desires of the powers that be, be careful not to give it utterance. The good times of Abraham Lincoln are no more. A loyal Republican to-day will think and speak only by royal permission, or he will, in his must legitimate aspirations, find a most resentlul Government influence in his way he will find himself denounced as a traitor to the Republican cause, if he thinks that cause entitled to higher consideration than the personal interests of the party chiefs, and lie will hear a pack of hounds at his heels, whose bark vvould be terrible, could they conceal the collars they wear around their necks. Never was a bolder, a more nurcpublicau attempt made to terrorize and subjugate to one will the freedom of opinion in a party, and to press its whole machinery into the survice of a selfish interest. 1 have heard letters read in Congress from certaiu parts of the South still in a state of confusion, when the name of the writer was withheld, lest he be exposed to the vengeance of hits enemies and now I have seen letters from important merchants in this very city, expressing hearty sympathy in the national reform movement we are engaged in, but stating, also, that they do not dare openly take partiu it, because active sympathy with Republican bolters would expose them to the vengeance of the Custom House, and expose their business interests to injury. Yet, this is called the free North.
THE RUIN OF PUBLIC MORALITY. Aud what must be the influence of such things upon the morality of our public service and our political life? Are not our public servants thus taught that disobedience te the political desires of the powers that be is an unpardonable crime? aye, that a multitude of sins may be covered by efficient partisan zeal, aad that even your Tom Murphys mav be eulogized by the President as model officers, and that the Caseys and Packards at New Orleans may be sustained, if they do not scruple to serve their employers oy whatever means their offices place within their reach.
1
And what does the Republican patty do as at present organized and controlled? Some of its members criticise, denounce and protest, and they are quickly under the ban. But what of the rest What of those who control legislation and caucuses and conventions? They *ee usurpation and contempt of law and corruption crop out in alarming abundance. They must see it, because everybody sees it who is not blind. But what has become of that honest and conscientious self-criticism which will not hesitate to uncover aud denounce auy wrong that it may be righted? Where is that spirit of self-improvement, which will ireat more severely the delinquencies of a party friend thau those of an opponeut, that spirit which alone can save our political life from utter demoralization
Listen to those who to-day pretend to speak for the party. Nepotism, that most odious excresceuce of power "Ah, well, why should not a man take care of his relatives when he has the opportunity—never mind the moral effect it may produce." The unscrupulous and tyrannical use of the patronage to influence State pontics, and the subjugatiou of public opinion by Government influence? "Ah well, the organization, and power, aud discipline of the party must be maintained and President Grant must be reelected." Unconstitutional assumptions of power and breaches of law by Government officials "Ah, well, we can interpret the Constitution and the laws to suit the case, and to make such trifles appear all. right." Corruption? "All, well, some objectionable thiugs may have happened, and a good many have been punished but why hurt the chances of the party by unnecessary exposures Besides, Tammany* Hall has stolen untold millions, and there was more corruption under Andrew Johnson's Administration than
iiowi'' And so ou to the end of the chapter. And thus the Administration is indiscriminately indorsed by State conventions. The demand of a still stronger indorsement, by the reflection of the President, rises louder than ever, and the party is ruled with a high hand.
PARTY.
Is this a spirit worthy of the great party which has achieved thiugs so grand, and of which we all were ouce so proud? Is ttjis the spirit to bring forth those reforms, that elevation of public morality, which the IiopuDlic in these times stand so greatly in need of? If it is true that Tammany Hall has stolen untold millions, is that a reason why Republicans may steal with impunity and still possess a claim upon the public confidence? Is that a reason we should not denounce the wholesale plunder going on in some of the Southern States under the so-called Republican rule, and why we should nor, as far as we can, aid in the overthrow of that system of robbery? Is that a reason why we should not insist upon honest government everywhere, even when dishonest government is stamped with the Republican name? Are we reduced to so disgraceful a plight as to claim public confidence ou the miserable plea that others might have been worse than we?
There was probably much more corruption under Andrew Johnson's administration than there is now. But in one respect the case stands worse. Under Andrew Johnson the Republicans called it corruption while now the attempt is made to cover it with the mantle of respectability. I am very far from theleast desire to palliate what happened under Andrew Johnson I gladiy claim that an improvement has taken place. But affirm that those who tow strive to cover up and excuse tilings which they then denounced as corruption, those who called Andrew Johnson's the most corrupt and the present one of the purest Administrations in our history, exhibit a failing of their moral.sense, which, if it becomes general, will in its effects be far more corrupt and corrupting than anything that happened under Andrew Johnson. It is an attempt at deception which will stand in the way of every honest reform, and tend utterly to demoralize public sentiment, and in the face of that attempt it is time that those who mean to promote the cause of reform and pure government in good faith should rise up and call things by their right names. THE FARCE OF CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
But we are told that existing abuses are being corrected and that President Grant has declared in favor of Civil Service Reform and actually appointed a Commission to set iton'foot. Yes, we hear that mild attempts are made to cor rect certain abuses—in the New York Custom House for instance—but we know also- that those who in Congress denounced those abuses and insisted upon their exposure, are in their turn denounced as traitors to the Republican party.
Yes, the President has declared in favor of Civil Service Reform, and appointed a Commission to set it on foot. And when you listen to the President's most trusted friends, and the most zealous advocates of his re-election, you will hear one say that ours is the best Civil Service in the world, and others ridiculing the fundamental principles upon which that reform is to precede, and still others express the wish that the attempt should be made in order to expose practically the absurdity of tbe idea. And when you look for the most earnest advocates of that reform you find them with exceptions among those who are denounced as traitors of the Republican party.
Once, indeed, a plan of reform was promulgated but no sooner was it announced, than it was suspended and in the meantime, the patronage is lustily bandied as before, and the political machinery is doing its work. I have no doubt as to the sincerity of purpose animating the gentlemen now elaborating rules and regulations for the Civil Service but if they have not yet, they certainly will presently come to the conclusion, that a true and practical reform of the civil service. will not be introduced by those who strive to benefit themselves by its abuses nor will the people look for that reform under a President who relies for the promotion of his own interests upon the friendship of its enemies. The President's civil service reform has been styled a humbug by his loudest friends, and the cause of reform takes refuge with those who are denounced as his enemies. This is, I suppose, according to the eternal fitness of things.
And now, when you look at this whole spectacle, what does it signify? It means that the great problems, the solution of which is most imperatively demanded, have been lost sight of by the influences which at present seem to direct the ruling party. It means that, through the long enjoyment of power, those who wield it have become reckless in its exercise. It means that the selfish consideration of partisan and personal interest has risen above the consideration of public good. It means that partisan spirit, looking after selfish advantage, strives to cover up existing evils and abuses, to discredit and crush the spirit of thorough-going reform, and to stifle the popular conscience. It means that the public service of the country, with all its endless ramifications and influences, is becoming, nay, has become, a vast aud systematically organized machinery of political power in the hands of one man, to falsify and subjugate public opinion, and to dragoon the political action of the masses. It means that, through that organized power, one will governs and impels a clique that clique rules the caucus that caucus rules the convention that convention the party and that party is so controlled and directed as to rule the American people. It means that this system, as developed under the impulse of low instincts, must be a school of arrogant tyranny, ou one side, and on the other, of corruption, hypocrisy, a slavish spirit, and general demoralization. It means that, under this pressure, many men in political life are already afraid to utter their honest convictions, lest they blast their prospects and fortunes I know it, for many have told me so. It means that, under a system like this, neither the Constitution, nor the laws, nor popular liberty, nor personal rights, will be safe. It means that a declaration of independence, from a degrading and demoralizing personal and partisan tyranuy, has become the necessity of the day, aud I trust we shall have it.
THE CINCINNATI MOVEMENT. When we denounce abuses, when we demand reforms, when we rise up against the arrogance of personal aud partisan rule, when we address a voice of warning to the people, we are met by those in power and their minions with the defiant cry: "What are you going to do about it?" That cry has been heard before. It was but recently heard in this neighborhood, and it has had a fitting response. It will have a fitting response again. On the 1st of May the independent men of the Republican party will meet in convention at Cincinnati, aud unless I greatly misapprehend the signs of the times, that Convention will not be slow to tell those defiant gentlemen "what we are go to do about."
Weshall rally for a common effort those whose convictions of duty are not at the disposal of personal or party dictation. We shall insist'and take good care that none of the logical and legitimate results of the war be imperiled that the settlement of past differences, as embodied in the Constitution be maintained: that the equality of human rights be held inviolable that the National creditors be assured their dues to the utmost farthing. But we shall insist, also, whatever the behests of those who attempt to rule us, that those whom we have overcome In the civil war, shall be
THE DECADENCE OF THE REPUBLICAN this Republic wavewer all its citizens as the symbol of equal rights and equal

This we shall, as Republican freemen insist upon we shall see to it, that candidates for the high offices of the Government representing these demands be placed before you, and thus we shall appeal to the moral sense, to the love of liberty and personal rights, to the instincts of justice, to the virtue, to the national spirit, and to the patriotism of the American people. That is, gentlemen, what we are going to do about it.
A NOBLE "DISAPPOINTMENT." I know the accusations with which we are met, and the spirit which sends them forth shows clearly that the spokesmen of the powers that be beginjto fear what they affect to despise. We are called a set of disappointed men, who merely give vent to their personal grievances. Yes, we are disappointed men—not, indeed, disappointed in the sense in which unscrupulous slanderers call us so—as if we had not received all the patronage we wanted for no man who has observed current events can fail to know that favor would not have been wauting to us, had we consented to wear the livery of the White House. Thus we may, with a proud consciousness of rectitude, pass over the calumnies of those whose pitiable business it is to belittle.the motives of honest men when they cannot meet their arguments.
But I am willing to accept the wrrd. We are disappointed men in a higher sense disappointed in that whole-souled confidence with which we clung to the party and rallied around an Administration which enjoyed such great opportunities disappointed in the fond hope that during these four years the animosities aud resentments of the past would be reconciled, and that a fruitful spirit of mutual confidence would be revived by a policy of generous wisdom that an Administration which owed its existence to no combined effort of particular sets or cliques would exclude from its counsels the selfish and narrow-minded spirit of faction that under its rule a high tone of purity and noble disinterestedness would be infused into all the relations of political life subject to its influence that, the corrupt tendencies of our times wouid be effectually checked, that a government of constitutional principles and strict respect for the laws would be given to this republic or that, all this falling, the great party, which claims the abolition of slavery as its noblest achievmeut, would rise as one man against all tyrannical assumptions, speak the plain truth to the people and correct the short-com iugs.of its own representatives by its own act.
DISAPPOINTED HOPES.
In this great hope, we were disappointed, and we are honest and bold enough to say so. Aud more than that, I confidently assert, and know whereof I speak, there are thousands upon thousands of Republicans all over the land who feel that disappointment just as keenly as we do, but who, under the partisan pressure that has been brought to bear upon them, have not yet gathered spirit enough to openly proclaim it.
A word to them. Among those who still cling to the ruling powers, I know many most able, worthy and highminded men many of whose personal friendship I shall always be proud. I am very far from saying that every friend of this Administration, and every advocate of Gen. Grant's re-election, is an enemy of general amnesty, and of a thorough civil service reform, or a defender of usurpation and breaches of law, or a whitewasher of abuses and corrupt practices but I do say, that almost every enemy of amnesty and civil service reform, every defender of usurpation and breaches of law, every whitewasher of abuses and corrupt practices, in the Republican party, is a friend of the Administration, and an advocate of Gen. Grant's re-election. It is a natural process of gravitation. And certainly the latter, being the most selfishly interested, the most active, the boldest, the most unscrupulous, will naturally be the leading spirits.
Aud now I ask you, Republicans, who mean to do right, who abhor corruption and an impure use of power, who respect the Constitution a*rd the laws, and who will abdicate the right of independent conviction, bow long will you permit those who live and thrive by working in the opposite direction to lead you by your noses? You can not lead tbeiu they will lead you, not where you will, but where they will. How long will you follow them, as regretful victims, in a direction which you would never have chosen?
You tell me that the integrity of the party must be maintained, it might have been maintained, had the partyfulfilled the great requirements of the times. But if it has uot—if it has drifted into those errors and abuses so common to political organizations after a long enjoyment a£power, when with the mass of camprfollowera the spirit of selfish speculation invades them—is then the integrity, is the drill and discipline of party the highest object of veneration that should fill the soul of a patriotic citizen Is there nothing higher? Are there not times when, to do his whole duty to Ills country, the citizen mus| rise above the partisan
PARTISANSHIP BROKEN FOREVER. Look around you, and you see bands of partisanship loosening on every side. In spite of the yell and imprecations of the whippers-in, there are everywhere the signs^of breakiug up, as the ice on your rivers breaks up in spring-time. It it so, not only in the Republican camp, but, whatever their organs may say, 4n the Democratic camp just as much. And why is this so? Because neither of the twofold parties, as at present constituted [CONTINUED ON THIRD PAGE.]
