Mr. President AND FELLow-CITIzESs OF NEw-
YoRE: This gathering of the dwelers the banks Of
the Hudson to-day is evidence that slight mistor-
tune which turns out TO be- no misfortune at all does
not repress the fire that burns in your bosoms. The

silk in patriotic bosoms but thank God the intelligence
that comes from that glorious old Commonwealth

our destined haven with stout hearts and brave spirits
You have assembled to-day gentlemen, to demonstrate
to tie country your devotion to tho great cause in
which We are engaged In other States-in other Sec
