SPECIMEN BRICKS.

The Fourth Of July was celebrated on the 9Th
with the usual amount of cant, falsehood, selflau.
datlon ana pro.slavery patriotism, drunkenness aud
and burnt gunpowders I'VE add a specimen or two
of sentiments characteristic of different classes.
Caleb Cushing a representative of Democracy,
went to New York at the invitation of the Tamma-
ny Hall Democrats to give them a patriotic ora.
ton. In s%kctching the performance the New York
Evening Post says
lie ridiculed the idea Of a dissolution Of the I'm,
ion, and claimed that it is cemented by indissolu
BILE bands. In his opinion there was no disunion
party" in the country. He characterized the
AbolltiCnists and all opponents Of the Constitution
as demorallzod women, who are sorry they are
not men ; as denatiOnllized men, not worthy even
to be women and as Ncgropholists, who take
every opportunity to assert sheir love Tor the black
man and their hatred for the white man.
Henry Ward Beecher may be considered as
one ofthe representatives Of the best of Republi.
can patriotism. lie is altogether of the Democrats
opinion of the Union. We add q sample of his
patriotic eloqucnce. Evidently his audience felt
he was occupying a ridiculous position, and laugh.
ed in his face at his idea of the union of Texas
and Massachusetts for the promotion of liberty.
l am most happy, here at least, to claim for the
Union, as heartily | do, our undivided allegiance.
For there is no sacrifice too great to pay for the I'm.
ion of these states, unless We sacrifice that for
which the Union was first made-Libertv. -
(Cheers.) We will suffer much for the sake of the
Unioh-we will give up many sectional points OF
PRIDE but when we are asked to give up the
spirit which animated the men of the Revolution
the spirit of Liberty that we car never give
up. cloud cheers.)
We declare that any true patriotism must be n

edge and love Of those principles first embodied
in the Declaration of our dependence-ihe
rights of mantle declaration that all men are
born free and equal. (Applause.) Patriotism
without that is not patriotism in America. II
may be patriotism in Austria, bat not in America.
The patriotism that does not include within its.
elf the doctrine that every man has inalienable
rights to life. liberty and property-the patriot.
ism leaving that out. is like a man without a
heart or head,-a hollow corpse.
We have had patriotism of all shapes and forms.
Some times it goes up and down the country
preaching Union and patriotism. but with every.
thing of liberty left out. Our fathers embraced
in their patriotism everything pertaining to sa.
cred liberty, and by their sufferings and struggles
they maintained their declaration. Ous patriot.
ism must be a patriotism that takes in Maine, and
New Hampshire, and Vermont, and Masshachu.
sets, and Rhode Island, and Connecticut, and
New Jersey, and Ohio, and Pennsylvania and Vir
gina, and Delaware and Maryland, and North
Carolina and even South Carolina. Laughter
Yes, and Georgia, Louisiana. Mississip5i and
Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky, and dear old
Indiana, and Illinois, and Missouri, bound for
freedom, and Minnesota and Wisconsin, and !
know not how many besides. "a voice, "Texas."
Yes. Texas and California, and all the states M IN
ed and unnamed, that are and are yet to come. Don't
anybody say Kansas. daughter and applause. !
a patriotism it must be that shall take in eyery
state that stands within the confedcracy-a nat.

bles, contention, wrangles and base ambition bur
a patriotism that shall give to every one of the
states the foundation laid by our revolutionary
struggIe-lberty, liberty, nothing else than liber.
ty loud cheers.l
What are our Fourth.of Julys in which these
great truths are left out ? What is that patriot.
ism which ignores, or daintily touches and pa~es
by this greatest thought, THE most noble heritage
OF civillza:ion-hberty for every man? This is a
patriotism which will save our great country. |
am not an ili'omened prophet | do not believe we
shall go to wreck =; | believe God built his temple
on these shores. Although like temples ia other
times 1t may have been occasionally DELAYED and
marred, IN some parts at least, yet the temple is
reared to Christ and Liberty. / believe it will be
perfected AMI God will preserve this nation by the
instrumentality of your hearts, your hands, your
heads. and your fidelity to original revolutionary
principles. (Applause.)
Remember that discussion should ever be free.
Let us, then, remember the liberation Of men that
differ in the EXTREMIST points from US. Let us &C.
cord to them that right which we assert ourselves
the right to believe what we wilt-tbe right To
defend what we think--the right to express what
we believe. Their rights and ours are the same.
and if upOnthai freedom liberty cannot stand. let
her 90 to the ground. | am not afraid to venture.
GIVE us freedom OF speech and action, and this
land Will shake the dust of oppression from her
garments and stand forth the virgin daughter of
God, free to bless and blessing. Cheers.

Bot the day was celebrated, in one place at
least, most %fttingly. The Massachusetts Anti sla.
slavery society held a meeting at Framinpbam
where our national iniquity and hypocricy was fit.
'ingly rebuked and exposed, SO far as might be
on a single occasion, from its inception to its pres.
ent overshadowing power. On that occasion Mr..
Garrison well traced its beginnings in the govern,
ment to the present, The following is a seriesof res.
lutions offered as expressive of his individual SEN.
timents.
Whereas, At the time of the PRONUNCIATION of the
Declaration Of Independence, there we're not less
than half a million Of slaves, who were forced to
wear the CALLING yoke of bondage all through the
Revolutionary struggle. aud to the end Of their
earthly existence and whereas, from their loinsj
have sprung the four millions of slaves now exist
