Sir. HoRATIo SzTAoUR came next on the
list Of orators, and from him, the Governor
elect Of New-York making lis first speech in
Tammany Hall, we had right to expect some
thing more than the poorest partisan common
places. Toasted as the party's STANDARD
bearer, whose preeminent abilities, unceasng
devotion to the best interests of the State

our citizens and the advancement of their best
interests" il would seem scarcely possible
that he should reciprocate ina speech without
giving some ntellig bile inkling Of the changes in
our National, still more il our State policy

and Washington Hunt What policy ne would
have pursued at Washington relative to the
more symmetrical Development Of our National
Industry, or respecting the improvement of
Rivers and Harbors, or Territorial Expansion,
or Slavery Extension, or what course he would
have pursued in our own State with regard TO
our Unfinished Canals-on these and all other
topics. he is silent as the grave. He tells his
hearers that he has not been restrained by del
icacy from stumping tie State, and viii not be
from paItaking of such dinners as that at which
he is speaking, and that he is glad he has been
elected-5ll points on which the public could
hardly need fresh assurance from his lPs-but
how he proposes to prosecute the Public
Works OF our State, or whether he proposes
that they shall BE- prosecuted at all, save
at the current rate Of three or four per
cent per annum-on all these vital and
pertinent questions he is dumb as an
oyster His speech is emphatically a
voice and nothing more He closes with a
compliment to the masses, and especially the
young men OF his party for their activity and
efficiency in the late contest, when lie is prob
ably aware, as we are, that this yaunted actiy-
ity en- the part Of the party fuglemen was
stimulated by enormous distributions Of money
contributed by or through the Importing Mer-
chants of this City. We believe it came in
good part from the manufacturers, bakers
and exporters of Great Britain, France and
Germany, who are now reaping here rich
harvest from the policy of which Gov. Sey-
mOur is a skillful advocate but this we do not

Gen. JouS A. DIX made the next speech.
He boosted that his party had triumphed on a
full ard fair exposition of its principles and OBJ
jccts. We deny this and confront il with the
most undcniablc facts WIZ Gen Dix delibe-
Tatcly assert that the Baltimore Resolves of
