Speech Making by the President

SptcCH MahlHS ny Tie iItSiucAt'
The President has been to Raleigh in
the Old North State on a breathing
spell. There the President made a
speech. For the Executive of a great
nation that speech is singular one
Because lie saw body of men collected
together to honor him perhaps as Presi~
dent and not as a politician CT man, the
old dotard claims the turn out and de-
monstration as an approving reward for
his political battles!
"My public life has been lsng one, and have been
engaged in many political battles ard they now
wsrded by your smiles of approval"
After this no citizen can witness the
advent of a criminal in the hands of offi>
GERS into the town, but his presence may
be construed by the culprit into sym-
pathy with his former crimes.
The President of thirty-four sover-
eign States and several territories furth-
er continues:
II am glad to be in tho capital of North Carolina,
which you have rightly named Raleigh, thus aiding in
perpeuating that srea: name
Some cases Of remarkable longevity
in Raleigh.
"You North Carolnians were great rebels during
the revolution and very troubesome to Lord Cornwall
lis one Of her Maesty's officers. He used say that
You in his last he passed you and that
he could claim that he master of any ground
North Carolina that which his army stood upon
The President of thirty>four States
and several territories compliments his
hearers decidedly by repeating the taunt
of Cornwallis, that the North Carolini-
ans "rose on his rear"-not on his
front! "Her majesty's officers!" Well,
George the Third uas an old !eramny.
at has become fashionable nova Gays to discuss the
value of the Union. 1t not fashionable twenty
years ago.
In sorrow be it said. at is fashion,
able to discuss the value Of the Union"
during Buchanan's Administrations
No, it was not fashionable twenty years
ago. The fashion was started. but
Jackson killed it stone dead wi'h,-
BY the Eternal, the Union, it must and
shall be preserved" That ejaculation
laid the damnable fashion or the shelf
to slumber for twenty years, and to be
revived under the re ign of degenerate
successor.
at was not every transiory evil that leads to
division of the Union"
We pass this over to Lindley Murray.
Here you are to-day body of soveregns, who Lave
elected your Executive-no your ruler-whosc acts
are 10 be eaously watched and accounted for besides
some acts for which he is not guilty,
Lindley may take this too. We
couldn't be guilty for the act Of critir
cizing it.
Though the of my political life is growing dim,
1 shall refer vivdly and with grateful
emotions this reception from the Old North State"
The first phrase conveys the only ap-
preciable truth in the whole speech
The sun of the Presidents life is
truly growing dim---obscured with
many dark spot. But what shall
we say of the construction of the
sentence last above quoted? 1t comes
from high notwithstanding less than
President of the United States
"IHough the sun of my political life is
growing dim. l shall not cease to refer
riuidzy" &c. Does the President mean
TO say that a long, miserable political
life, he can say near its close, has not
entirely extinguished feeling of natuo
raj gratitudei in his bosom! If so, and
it is honestly believed, it will be counted
a remarkable revelation. Or does the
President mean to convey, what every
body knows and believes, that he is not
so far advanced to idiotic dotage that he
is insensiblo to fattery. If so. it's an
honest confession.
Again we "rger eiridly" to the
"grammar book" man.
