Remarks of M. English the TamlnRny Jubilee.
A, the late enthusiastic jubilee at Tammany Hall,
in New York to exchange congratulatlons over the
great Virginia Triumph, the Hon. w. II. Engllsh, OF
Indiana, made the following patriotic anu eloquent
remarks:
GENTLEMEN: am a stranger in your city and
! although have been democrat from my earliest
boyhood, as my father was before me, TINS IS the
first time my feet rested on the INSIDE OF the
, world renowned Tammany Hall [Crles OF you are
| welcomed I came here tonight rather to listen
than TO speak and at this late hour shall attempt no
more than to mingIe my humble voice with yours in
congratuating the noble democracy OF Virginia on
their late magnificent victory. Loud applause
That victory, gentlemen, has sent thrill OF Joy to
the heart of The democracy of the whole Union
| TApplause 1t has sounded the death knell of the
party of prescription and religious intolerance. The
gallant Wise, of Accomac, recently said that the
rock of defence against know -nothngism was the
| indomitable democracy.
"He might have gone further, and said that at
all times, and under all circumstances when the vital
principles of this government Rave been assaied, OF
the country been in danger, the rock of defence has
been this indomitable democracy: Loud
cheering. When the odious alien and sedltlon laws
were fastened upon the people-measures no more
repugHant to the genius of Institutions than the
doctrines of the know nothings-the rock OF defence
was the Jpffersonan democracy. In the second wal
of independence, who was it burned blue lights and
refused 10 vote supplies, though the enemies of the
country were DdIbeTlIS UOWn tue gates VI GLe Cdp
tol Who the to proclaim moral treason
in the Hartford Convention They were, thank
Heaven not the democracy. Democracy was again
the rock of defence. LCheers.
$50, too, in the Mexican war that same rocl
stood firm, and it left to of another faith tc
sympathize with the enemy, and wish that our brave
soldiers might be welcomed to Mexico with bloody
hands and hospitable graves What party stoo<
forth the rock of defence in that scarcely less
mentous contest between Jackson and the monste
United States Bank The indomitable democracy
And when the whg party had given to the countr.
their method of paying honest debts by bankrup
law, ii the democratic party that to tn
rescue. Who has extended the boundaries Of tn
republic Who resisted religious and sectiona
fanaticism =? Always the indomitabie democracy
and so it is now, and will be to the end [Applause
"Gentlemen, you have nothing to fear The re
suit in Virginia has demonstrated that the know no
thing oreanIzation cannot exist as national party
1t must inevitably dwindle to pitu sectiona
abolition concern. [Cheers.l 1t never raise ii
head higher than that. We have but to stand fir
by our princip les-hy the constitution and the Unto
-dscardng all sectional pref dice and all bckerin
! amongst ourselves-and victory is certain TO perc
upon our standard. 1Appause, during which Nj
English resumed his seat.]
The chairman said that the hour had al
rived when the aveyards yawn and know, nothin
councils meet, and with three cheers for the democ
racy of Virginia and Henry A. WISE he ad ourne
