for IL We give this precious production as We
find it in the New York Express, and we invite our
readers to contrast il with the extracts g,yen in
another column from the address Of the democratic
party of the same Sate;-~
"Mr. James Brooks then rose, md said he WAS in.

ADDRESS TO TIE rEor' n OF NEw YoRK--When

s .he alarm oeN OF our country is ringing, utter
VIC oa cry ", the ears Of our fellow-men TURN
OUT iuRF. OUT
- q on earth and good will TO man. has
,hs TO be on the American emblem. We are in
midst OF an unnecessary, an enormously expen.
ave, an ambitious, aggrandzlng war. And phy?
Because we slumbered in our beds when the first
bell was struck, and did not tura out to extingulsh
| It. Over eighty millions of dollars, as near as we
can calculate, have been lavshed in war, started
by the executive power alone, without consulting
Congress nay, IN spite Of Congress- and in spite OF
| the sacred constitution itself To the Sabine
WIS To the Rubicon of our republic; but, with
out law, and contrary to law, the American flag
was unTolled in the Mexican State of Tamaulipas,
with batteries frowning upon the ancient Mexican
city Of Matamoros, whereby we were plunged into
a war against the public will, and yet, in which, as
|
part. Thus we changed people once happy
and content in the peaceful cultivation Of fields,
now gathering arms and men far beyond our Dor
ders, and rolling up the bloody tide Of war on the
| rocky sleeps Of the unknown, uneasly spoken, and
far foreign Sierra Madrs! Alas! that the banner
| bear there is not the banner Of freedom Heroic
government we have too, crouching before the
British lion rampant, In Oregon, but bristlng
| hcrcely before the negro, mulatto, meszo, and
mixed breeds Of Mexico
"But at hone, as we'll abroad, we are in the
midst Of revolutions. The currency, which is good
enough for US, again told, in spite Of the ad
monory lesson Of 1910, is not good enough for the
| officers of the federal government. The bank note
that will buy bread has not dignity Of look enough TO
pay the salary Of n minon OF the Executive. Specie

the SchOhsre hills TO hoard up now from this time

Again: with war, and efforts To destroy credit,
proposed in the Of levying and taxing duties
at custom house. For the first time IN the his
tory of any civilized government, a universal hort
zontal system Of ad valorem duties, upon anything
and everything, has been resolved upon. Hereafter,
what we shall pay at the custom-house, is to be de.
eided at Genoa, Hamburg, Lyons, Havre, London,
or Liverpool, rather than in New York Never be-
fore did nation put il in the power Of foreigners TO
levy its taxes! If we import too much under these
loose, tempting ad yalorems, foreigners, under the
tariff Of 1916, with their foreign invoices, will
sack us of our specie while offce-hoders under the
subtreasury act, sack also In all this new tar
if we feel that HOME is sacrificed, our own labor
gwen no, and our own mechanics surrendered to
foreign competition, and foreign wages Of labor,
with no adequate remuneration. Time-the eternal
and certain arbter ofall things-will show we are
right.
NNow, to rescue us from these wrongs existing,
and dangers impending, men Of New York, your
presence before the balot-box is necessary. We
reiterate, then, the cry with which we started,
TURN QUIZ TURN our Turn out from the
mountain top, and from the valley! TURN OUT from
the workshop, and from the farmhouse! Drop
the plough handle--throw down the fore plain, the
trowel, the hammer and the pick-axe, and put out
this FIRE that is consuming republic-before II
is again, as from 1896 to 1870, frighdul cOnha-
grafton. Turn out!-one and all--from lake Erie to
Monauk point! The engine you are to man, men,
is that oft the Cataract State IL at once extln-
guish this administration, just if you poured upon
1t, in one full food, your own Niagara. Turn out,
turn out, then, we repeat henceforth until the Sd of
November. Remember, FULL VOTE is A WING
VICTORY Only turn out, then, and stop not, till we
can cry, 'ALLs WELL" again.
We can pardon the writer of this address, his
opening nonsense about "the ringing Of the alarm
bell of our country and we have no quarrel with
the wings of New York, if they choose to adopt,
and endorse such twaddle Ifthe wings of New York,
also, wish to dash themselves against the settled
convictions of four-ffhs of their countrymen, and
proclaim our war with Mexico unnecessary, =" and
"ambtous,' that is their affair, and not ours They
must settle their own account with the patriotic
feeling of the country. But to what end, in the
name of all that is reckless, do they nterpolate
into their address the declaration tina, "speece on
earth and good will to man, has ceased to be on the
American emblemr' They know the whole series
of efforts which government has made, to
terminate the by negotiation, and their
own party is responsible for the denial of the
appropriation which was asked to render that ne
collation. successful. With what face, again, do
they the wings, arraign government as "crouch-
ing before the British Hon. rampant in Oregon''
Better dabble In rhetoric about "rolIing up the
bloody tide Of war in the rocky sleeps of the I'M
known, uNEAsILY-sroKEN CD and far-foreign
Sierra Madre !"-better make themselves thus
ridiculous than put Their names to declarations so
paIpaby false as this we have noted.
Look, again, at the paltry slang about the
constitutional treasury: "a sub-treasurer from
the Schoharie hiIls"-'treasury rags''-"drafts"
--"war-warrants"-"ra .money'--this is tho Ian
guage in which the leaders of what was once
great party, seek to rally their followers against
measure deliberately adopted, and approved by
the people!
Look, again. at their slanderous misrepresentation
of the tariff: "a HORIZONTAL SYSTEM of ad valo-
rem duties Do these wings not know that the
duties on large classes Of articles in the tariff
range from 40 to 5 per cent. ad valorem1 Or do
they imagine that party which is to gain the vic
tory in the Empire State, can be rallied upon most
plain and papable untruh'
