Freedom's Graad Opportuntty..Speech Of
Richard Busted.

ANaSu0sN DuSSCus
Richard Busted, Esq, the known pol.
itician and corporation attorney Of New
York, made glowing speech at the late
war meeting in that city, a few days
since, from which the following is an ex-
tract:
We meet to inAame zeal, to inspire
loyalty, and to declare t5 our president
and his cabinet tina. the city Of New
York-the great commercial metropolis
of this country-favors the suppression
Of this most wicked rebellion, BY the
prompt, free, fearless use of every and
any means necessary to crush it out at
once and forever. [Great cheering. i
What these means are, the executive is
charged With deciding; but, as he has
recently, in well considered letter, de-
clared his readiness to hear suggestions,
and give to them all proper considera.
tion, l claim the right and embrace this
occasion to say that it is my deliberate
conviction that the cause Of this rebellion
is &arery, and the cause and effect must
perish or survire in force together. 49,
["Good," "sood."l For one sincerely
believe, if Slavery lives the republic dies.
That is the talk. And l deny that
this government struck at and attempted
to be destroyed by the slave power,
should do anything to preserve slavery
as stock in trade for a future rebellion
God has decreed that their sin shall per,
ish with them. This is freedoms grand
opportunity. and no man, not himself at
heart tyrannic, dishonest aud cruel, but
will rejoice that the republic of America
is ere long to be disenthralled by the
genius of universal emancipation. All
hail the day. [Great cheerins.] In this
connection, l have word to say to men
who, like myself, of Irish birth have
sought aud found home in the United
States of America 1t is supposed by
some of my countrymen, and they have
been taught to think so by bad des gn.
ing men Of the class known as politicians,
that, if the emancipation Of the black
race should be one of the results forced
upon US by the Southern shareholders, on
exodus Of that race to the Northern
States would Immediately follow, and a
new and distasteful element Of rivalry in
labor be produced here. to the disadvan-
tage Of the white working man Now,
this is simply absurd No such conse-
quence would or could follow from the
freedom of the blacks Residence is not
a matter Of mere choice. 1t is controlled
by greet natural and philosophical law:
to the acceptance Of which all men arc
held by an imperious necessity.
Which of US could, for example, live
in the heart of Ethiopia although our
revenue should be million times what
it is in the State Of New York ? So, the
swar'hy child Of the .orrid zones cannot
live amid the SHOWS of Northern lati
! tudes. lie never can enter their fields
! of labor as a competitor The county is
in imminent peril. Traitors in arms me-
mace and assault the people and their ru-
lers; citizens are being ruthlessly slain;
homes and hearts are made desolatc; con.
s,itutional obligation and compact are
whistled down the winds ar the sacred
name Of revolution perverted to the
abominable uses of treason and rebellion
This is not the time to discuss how far
the government will be justified by the
Constitution, or previously existing laws
in using this, that or the other as a
means Of re establishing the national
power. Salus populi suprema est ler -
Self preservation is the first law of nature
Nor is this the time to regard the con
dition Of the country from any political
stand point In this hour party must be
forgotten. There is great fight between
democracy and uristocracy That's true,
between the privileges of the few ant
the rights of the multitude, betwecI
caste and republican equality, and he !;
the genuine democrat who loves libcrt,
more than slavery. The democracy tha
will not endure this test is spurious. NJ,

Democrat. am a loyal lover of m,
country, whose free institutions l do DO
care to outlive. 'Bravo.'] l ,cW b.

my intelligence, and the dictates of my
conscience make me. If this be treason

sustained in his efforts to maintain th'
Union. Those who are unwilling to sup
port him now, prove thereby that they
are not and never were truly loyal Those
who love slavery more than the Union,
never were very earnest in their opposi

of the Union, calls on her followers to
assert her claims to supremacy, and those
