principal hall In Morrimnia, and that the purpose Of
this impartial congregation to express approval Of
the Of the Hon. John Haskin in the House Of
Representatives during the late session Of Congress
The only party which nd not represented at this
approbstory gathering. was the democratic party by
whose votes this good and faithful steward Of black re-
publicans and knowsnothlngs allowed to occupy
seat In the national Legislature. Tho constituents proper
of this worthy who, believing that
he democr.t true to his party and his pledges,
sent him to Congress to represent them and not their
deadly foes to support and not oppose and Islander the
Executive and administration of their choice testified
their estimate Of Mr. Haskns course during the late
session of Congress by staying away, and leaving few
the honors. The chair taken by Mr. GEO. b. Butler

There cannot be imagined more utterly degrading
and humilating ordeal for who occupied hon
orabe position in the esteem Of his fcllow-czens,
unless he DO dead to every Of shame than that
to which poor Haskin was subjected last night ut
Morsana by the black republicans and know nothngs
whose interest it to expose his ase cachcry and be-
trayM of every pledge that he made to those honest
democrats who confded in his honor and ntrused him
with tho high and responsible Office Of their representa-
tive In Congress. Like most men who have fo feited
public esteem, he affects to glory in his political namy
and presucs to claim the honors of aryrdom because
tho democratic Of his district and Of the whole Union
have cast him out Of their midst and refuse all fellow
ship with him. Yet this man, convicted he stood
the platform Of Morrsania Of every act Of political bad
faith Of which be guilty, dared to assa the
President Of the United States tho Secretary Of War;,
and the other members Of the admnstrat0n-to accuse
them Of fraud corruption, and rnisrue, and to draw
contrast between their guilt and his spotless innocence
virtue. truth, and patriotism. The burlesque was SO
cruelty apparent, his satire and nvcctive were 10 COM
petely self destructive. that his speech while It must
provoke the disgust Of oil honest men, also provoke
feelings Of tho deepest pity Mr. HAskin has announced
that he determined to for Congress at the next cleo
ton the peoples independent candidate His motto
Is to be Independence whose form he pledges himself
to follow with his bosom bare, regardless Of all
the storms that howl along the sky He means, of
course, independence Of all his pledges to his former
friends and his party and he need not make his bosom
bare than 1t because every step he takes he must
feel the ranking wounds inflicted BY popular ohoquy
Ii elected he is to shape hts according the adj
vice Of Cardinal Wolsey to Cromwell % Be Just and fear
not let all the ends thou aist at be Gods thy com

that there will DO occasion for the effort or else he
msitates thorough reformation, md determination

better than the democratic supporters whom he betrayed
For the sake of human nature hope he will carry out
his intention eff elected If not then it Ia not much
matter. John B. Haskn, private citiron cannot do

The police forces of New York and Brooklyn were re-
viewed to-day by Governor King, accompanied by nu
merous staff, the police commissioners, and number Of
prominent citizens. Tho display was very creditable

the review minated the whole force marched through
the principal streets in military order Great crowds
were out to X the stars playing at soldiers.
