Speech of Carl Bokas. An enthusiastic Republican meeting was held by the Republicans of Milwaukee on Wednesday evening last. Schurz The made a eloquent German orator, Carl thrilling specch, from which fre make the following extracts: placed By upon tho conunittce on platforms and the partinlity delegation I was resolutions. The spirits which animinted that committeo was that the standard of Republicanism should not be lowered one single inch. (Great applause.) We endeavored to lift the creed of tho party far abore the lorel of oppositiounl The platform gives it character, The Republicans stand before the not only the anti-sinTory party, but emphaticully, hits the party of free labor, (Loud cheers.) While penning labor within the limits which the legislation of sovereign States lins assigned to it, wo propose to plant free labor in the Territorica by the Homestead bill, and to promote free labor all over the land by the encouragement of homo industry.

throwing its shield principles of human rights, the platform presents the anti-slavery policy of the party in its logical connection with the great material interests of country. "To man, his birthright; to labor, freedom; to him that works, his dues." Thnt is the Republican and prolonged cheering.) It affords me special satisfuetion to statc that the resolutions passage of which was recommended by the Republican State vention of mean those concerning the Homestead bill and the rights of mat- uralized citizens, were successfully advocated, nnd forn part of our national creed, (Ap-! plause.) Our platform, adopted withont opposition and almost without discussion, adopted amidst the the most spontancous and sublime outbursts of enthusiasm human eyes ever witnessed, is before the people. It is the boldest, the plainest, the most Aberal ever pres to the mo- the tion by a political party, and the enthusiastic: shouts of millions Irons Maine to the Rocky Mountains havo already sanctioned it with their approval (Cheers.) tings Mr. President, I had the honor to br a member of that commilles who were to carry to Mr. Lincoln official announcement of his nomination.

And then I saw Mr. Lincoln again; for I hui zuel hina before in that memorable Sennlorial campaign in Illinois, when he, as a man of true and profound convictions, although discountenanced and discouraged by many leading Republicans. thought it good policy to let returns to the Senate wilhout opposition, threw himself forward lot the imperilled parity of: our principles, grasped with a boll land the Republican banner, which was in danger of sinking into the mire of compromise and unnatural combinations, and hell it up proudly aloft in one of the fiercest struggles the conntry ever witnessed.

I. met him then, in the thick of demagogueism the light, in when his he bearded the lion of den, when the brilliant sallies of his wit and! sarcasm drew shouts of delight the mulwhen the thunderbolt of his invective, rattled triumphantly against the brazen front! of Stephen A.

Nauy of those who now surrounded him hail voted for other candidates in the tion, and some, still laboring under a fooling of personal disappointment, had come there, not withont some prejudice unfavorable to Mr. Lincoln.

We learn from passengers by the from Town Falls that on last Sunday alternoon a most terrific tornado swept through! south portion ol' lari'n county, nearly demolishing the Quaker village of New Prosidence, some (011 out of the thirty houses in town being torn to fragments and scattered piecemeal eastward on the prairie, seriously damaging all the reamining buildin the place except two, which escaped uninjured. Sorcral persons, whose names our informant has forgotten, were badly hurt, three of them not being expected to live. Most of the citizens were nbseat at the time, altending a Quaker meeting at Bangor village, some miles distant, which accounts! not more personal injury being done.

A Methodist was in process at the school house when the storm commenced.The building, with all the people in it, was; movedl some five feet, and the windows and doors destroyed, but no one hurt. The eler. guman continued praying fervently while the storms lasted. At Prichard's Cirove, a short distance from Now Provilence, several buildings, nil the timber, form honges, fences, were into rains. A Brick house occupied by Mr.

DIVINE, was blown down, and Ave of the Gunily killed. Tiro other persons were killcd in that vicinity. Quebec, another village near by, is reported entirely destroced. There were only come six or eight all of which were torn to fragments, Some persons were injured, but we can learn of no deaths. The storm in that region was in the form: of a whirlwind, and tore to atoms every tree land other moreable object in its range.

'The total loss ol farming anti all other properly in the county is estimated at 1 hundred' thousand dollars. The people at Now idence, as well as the farmers round ahout, are in a condition of actual distress, and appeals are made for relief. Wo learn that the storm of Sunday afternoon, extunded West 1.4 for as Ft. Dodge, where the ball did considerable daznage. Webster Cloy, nearly crery window pane the west sides of buildings in the town, were; riddled as it by shot or alones.

A gentleman Cram Cedar Rapids informs L15 that the same storm raged in Lina Conn. ty, passing about two miles to the South Cedar Rapids. On Ottowa Creek our informant says the storm raged with excessive violence. Some eight dwellings were entirely demolished and IL number of the oceapants severely injured. One child was killed.Somo idea terrific scene may be agined by the fact that trees two lect through were snapped off' close to the ground as they were mere pipe-stems.

Rails from fences were caught 418 darts by the mighty king, and thrown hundreds of plunging then many feet into the earth. of those mighty missels was plunged cutirely through the body of a cow scho aliempting to escape the ciolence of the storm. We shall expect to learn forther particulars of this terrific storm. It is probable other towns in Hardin and adjoining connties were visited by it, from which we have not as yet been able to learn anything. Dabuque Pacific R.

By alandoning their principles at critical perlods, these men themselves certainly show great lack of confidence in the doctrines which they Ity adopting this course they are enabled to yecure all benefits which arise from the popularity of the delusion, and, nt the same time, escape the sad remits which necesarily follow the strict adherence to principles they so advocate.

As I hare before intimated, the principles laid don to by HAnSENAS, are not at all garded by a large portion of the practitionera of the present day. They have repudiated many of principles laid down by him, and resorted to all ports subterfuges, In onter to save the entire fruternity utter extinction. Each practitioner follows the dictates his own fancy, at one time, using influasiral, and another, large doses of the must actire poisons. men necessarily work without any true principles knowledge for a guide, for. a study of Homeopathy, no more qualify a minD for the practice of rational cine, than a knowledge of Botany will qualify one for engincering.

Cares have been brought to light luncopathic physicians have administered strychnino such doses as to bring their patlenty to the briny of grave, and the same men had preen known to send corke from their vials, for their patents to smell of to cure disease, If we attempt to reason with the advocutes of Homeopathy, and endeavor to show them Sta they will say: We care nothing fur the theory, do long as the pructico las Successful," To show bow easily men may. be deceled upon this polut, will Feteribriedy to About the close of the ISth century, Dr, P'EREINS introdaced this great discorery Into Great Brtain. So great was his success that a great portion of the English nobility were for a the bold defenders of his doctrine, and of then were cured by him of grave disorders, So many strong was the feeling In favor of his doctrine, that a clety WILY formed, for the advancement of Perkinslem, composed of I'rinces, Ministers of State, Bishops, learned etc. It seeined that these learned men cond. professors, ered to be almost capable of rendering man 5m- mortal, this, all medical means were considered worthless, and for a short time rational medicine seemed to have come to an end.

An kinda of diseases were cured, Including consumption, and broken bones. band In his possession, ut one time, documents from the roost respectable men, certifying that he lad performed upwards of 5,000 cures. And bow were these miraculous cures performed? Simply by the use of two pieces of mattal, one of iron, the other of brass, about three und a halt inches in length, and pointed at one end. The points of these belay placed in contact; were gently drawn over the part of the body where the disease was supposed to be seated. This was the only means which he used, and there were thousands of men of the highest respectability, willing to certify that these pleces of metal in the hands of EINS, were alde to cure almost every known disense, Finutty a person who believed the Imagination had quore to do with the carca than the pleces of metal, procured tyro pieces of painted wood, which so nearly resembled the retalic pointa as to pass for the genuine, aud it found upot tried that these stleky were quite as potent to cure as the genuine metalic tractors, When this fact becane generally known, it was found that even the genuine ceased to cure.

The churm of Perkinsism was lost, and the practicu came to a specdy cud, The history of Perkinsisn Serves to show law easily may be mistaken In regard to the influence of of medicines. No honest physician will deny thunk, under every system of practice, too much credit is giren 10 the influence of the medicines given, Ta nit discases there is towards recovery, amt there is no doubt tlurt a temlency nineteen twentieths of all cases of indisposition would result favorably, without any interferance whaterer. Still is very natural for a person when sick to resort to some sort of medleal treatinent, and, if he gets well, he leapt to ascribe his recovery to the medicine. 1: should be remember that creep recorery ly hrought nbout by trio recuperative pomera of bature. This is somethnes done frith the aid of medicine, and sometimes without It.

This helug the case, It becomes us to by exceedingly careful how we ascribe recoveries to medleines used; and when we know that the remedies are wholly inert, wo certainly should give nature the credit for bringing about 3 cure, mul not the medleine. I shall devole my next article to a revlew of Dr. cas's criticisins. After this 1 propose giving Eelecticiste a brief consideration. Proceedings of the Ratification Meeting.
