New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1853-07-28

We have perused with all possible diligence and at
tention a speech, which 40 less democratic states
man than Mr. Daniel Dickinson, delivered at Syra-
cuse by way Of gor ing the Fourth Of July last Ii
seems to have been received with gusto by the Demo
crazy Of that town They speak Of it as an able, eo-
quent and patriotic oration, calculated TO awaken
liyelier appreciation than exists Of our great
"uess as People among the Nations Of the Earth
and accordingly beseoch its author to hand t over to
them for publication. OF course virtnous rePubli
can could deny petition Of that nature, and the very
distinguished aud learned ex-senator" delivered up his
manuscript, which is printed with all signs q delight
and admin alton.
We ere sorry to say cannot share these emotions
over this speech though We have tiled hard TO find ia t
something worthy Of the leader Of Che Democratic
party in the Empire State. There is not new idea
or an original expression in it from beginning end
IL is eophomorical in language and trite and fla in
thought or rather there is thought in it beyond
The stale aud diluted repetition of the staple general
tiles Of the day II the boys Of the Free Academy
could not produce better aud frcsher writing we dare
say no medals for good Eoglish composition would
ever be distributed among them To borrow eupho.

simply Josi, nothing and deserving Of attention only
from the position Of Jhe man. Just listen TO spec

Presidency evidently expended all the resources Of hs
