THE ADMINISTRATION in THE SOUTHWEST.

THE ADMINISTRATION in THE SOUTHWEST.
The democrats honored Gov Powell, of Kentucky with
splendid festival recently at Louisville. Amongst the
toasts was the following
'The present federal administration Purely democratic
honest faithful In such keeping the peoples
rights Of the States from
aggressionan nations honor protected and
maintained abroad"
Dr. Green called upon by the company TO respond to
this sentiment His response spirited, foreibe and
eloquent He spoke the sentiments not only Of the demo
Gratis present but of the entire democracy and respect
able portion of the wings OF the whole South and West
We copy as follows;
DR.. q. said The present democratic federal admins
traon having the constitution for its and the Bal
tmoe platform for its chart had faithfully and successfully
steered ship of through the greater half Of the
presidential term With eye steadily fixed on the auless
compass and faithful obedience to the letter Of that
errng chart could say that the President had
tered tainted emergency requiring the protection
the rights of either States communities Institutions
individuals from the sectionalism, the bgory the ianat
cism and the vandalism that have alike threatened each
wherever il has been the province OF his administration 70
osr such protection has he been less vsant in main
tanning unspotsd the honor and integrity Of the nation both
homo and abroad. The fagivesave law has been
cued in the city of Boston, where those who both know
nohngs and abotionists combined to resist it and Martin
Kozta humble individual who had declared his intention
wrested from the grasp OF naughty despot and his
liberty protected Looking alone to the letter Of the conssi
tuition and the cardinal elements of democratic liberty the
present has been preomineny administration Of princ
Pile rather than OF policy
Ills after all Mr.. President il the great distinctive
between the democratic party and tho hundred
successive parties who have from time to tine oppesi their
administration of the government The democratic party is
the party principles inherent in and derivabe
from the letter OF the federal constitution Upon these prn
tered for than threeourths of the hreequaters of
century its constitutional history Under these democratic
administrations has its been extended from the thirteen
| original members Of the conederacy the Atlantic to
free and independent sovereign States stretching
their fertile borders from and capable of maintain
ing hundred millions Of prosperous and happy feemen
Nor is there danger OF the OF
ment Of the Union If democratic principles and demo
cratic administrations prevail Democracy looks the
dazzling lustre of brilliant naes the strong of
ORDERS for the protection Of liberties but the guaran
OF the constitution and the immortality Of principles
Let the federal be confined to the Legitimate
grants of the letters of the constitution and the rights of the
States and Territories regulate their municipal and
domestic institutions CALAMITY vndcad by the present
administration Big maintained, and may multiply to a
hundred sovereign States without Weakening but actually
strcng thonng, the bonds Of the Union.
But it not amusng Mr.. President to be told that the
party who added all that has been added the Ameri
statues that the party who the great valley OF
the Mississippi the most fertile valley OF Gods heritage to
the party who the fordas the lone star OF
Texas with her broad auval plains, and California, with
Its rich mines of aurierou wealth. have to be the anti
American party? whilst those who uniformly opposed these
great acquisitions who gave aid and comfort 20 the enemy
in every struggle, the who would welcome American
soldiers with bloody hands to hospabe graves and The
men who denounced struggle in IAN unjust and
unhoy war; and against Cod have to be the
leading spirits the guiding stars Of the present modesy
suming American party.
Bnt, Mr. President, continued the DOCTOR cannot
dense my response the sentiment which has called up
without making special ausion to that member Of the adj
minisration whom OF Louisville proud to claim
fellow citizen Under the watchfu vigilance and
bending integrity of James Guthrie the nations treasury is
safe from pecuiation. No Gaphns, GARDENERS,
largely attorneys, bribed officials have dared with
mpous claims invade its sacred threshold. And that
wholesome democratic statute much revied when first pro-
posed by Mr. Van Buren, and afterwards universally
quiesced inhc sub treasury awhas been for the first time
administered according to its letter By the present Secretary
of the Treasury.
Allow conclude with the following senti Aeat The
federal constitution il the text book of the democratic
creeda light the way and lamp the feet Of the dem
Presidenby it if direct his he shall
not err"
