ESS
OF THE DEMOCRATIC WIGS OF THE CIT
OF NEW YORK.

Of NEW luhh,
To the People off The United States:
Fellow CITIZENS: The political
horizon is again overcast. The eXpec
laIions SO GondIy cherished at the close
of the triumphant campaign Of 1910
have been balllad, and joy and conf
dence have given place to gloom AMI
doubt. The shouts Of the glad millions
whose loud acclaim welcomed the com
mencement of new era, were closely
followed by a n%arioo's wall and Iamenta
tion. The solemn dispensation of Pro
violence which, by the sudden removal
O fthe ELECTED head oflhe Nation, vest
ed in the hands Of the present Executive,
the powers Of Government, keenIy as il
was felt at the time, has been rendered
more ard more all cliDg by subsequent
experience.
The brave old Chief was succeeded by
She selfish politician: a Cabinet distin
guished for ability and patriotism, was
forthwith scattered: the will Of lhe i'm.

President, and with uneXampled treach.
cry and ingratitude the rights and in
ter0sts Of those TO whose misplaced con
fidence he is indebted for his power,
were basely betrayed. The he8rtIess
halterers who sued for his smiles were
preferred TO the honest, independent
freemen whose devotion to principle
exceeded their love Of place and the
trapplngs of power, presented allure
ments stronger than the ties Of graft
lude or the bonds Of honor. (Cheers.)
Rarely has it happened in the history
of other ua'ions-never before IN our
own-to chronicle perf1y like this
W. have seen its effects fully displayed,
in the sacrifice of friends, the repudia-
ton Of honorable obligations and the
violation Of solemn pledges. We have
iorborn until forbearance has ceased TO
be a virtue. W. have hoped, until by
deierment the heart hath become sick.
We have appealed in vain; our com
plants have been UNDECIDED, our grie.
Vances unreIormcd; our wrongs unre,
dressed. We hesitate, therefore, nc
longer to pronounce or condemnation
alike of the traitor and the mora trea,
son, (cheers,) and to blaze it forth that
like the hand writing deciphered by the
ancient prophet to the Eastern tyraot
it may enlarge and bIacken in he sight

OF perfdy and wrong (cheers) New
and additional responsibilities have con
sequentIy fallen upon US; and while en-
gagged in defending 'be cilidaI against a

The AsHBURroN DISNER.-Mr Walsh, the cor
respondent of the g National Intelli gencer" wri-
ting from Paris, says "When the accounts Of the
Ashburton dinner at New York appeared in the Pa
rls newspapers, they were curious to know who the
MAJOR Jack Downing was that applauded so stento-
rally" The Major Jack Downing of that diuner
(who was only spoken of in the Herald) is a very
amable and worthy merchant Of this city, who pos
sesses considerable talent, much smartness and has
written several clever things under the cognomen
OF Major Jack Downing" Our numerous
readers in Paris are informed that he did applaud
vociterously at the Ashburton dinner whether he
did so judicously or not, we leave others to say.
