A Democrat Of the Modern Mako.

Mr.. Chauncey O. Burr, Of New Jersey,
made an address before the Democratic Club
of Philadelphia. on Tuesday evening, Febru.
ary 4th, which we found reported in the
Philadelphia papersIof that month, and in.
tended to publish It then but twas mislaid.
We submit the same without comment.
Burr was received with loud applause.
He denounced the Administration In bitter
terms. Il was q drunken Administration,
besotted with Its violation of tho Consti.
tuition. 1t had never had ono honest pulsa-
ton for the good of the country. IL was a
set of rascals. lie had lately been to Wash.

is now proposed should succeed, that one OF
our soldiers should 60 to Richmond and as.

head, he hoped that it would bc put on Abe.

Mr.. Burr reiterated that Mr.. Lincoln was
q greater traitor than JEFF Davis, and If his
abolition policy was permitted to 60 on, he

fighting for our liberties in tho North, as
we'll as for those of his fellow.citizens in the
South. tremendous appausc.) Why not
stop this war now? Why, my friends, you
will ask, "How can we do 80 without dis.
grace?" Why, said Mr.. Burr, If you would
be disgraced now, what would your dshonor
amount to six months hence. If you 60 on
making dead men and public debt ? He
thought tho attitude of tho two powers at
present, were like great big bully pummel-
ing a small eifeminato lad; tho fight was un-
equal, disgracelul, and every way despicablo.
And all this was the work OF that-that
gorilla, at Washington, Old Abe, who re,
minded him of an African king seated in his
mud hut thatched with skulls. This was the
position OF Lincoln now-he existed in a Col.
gotha of his own making.

cant, they have shown their preference
for soopaom OF color instead Of a men,
Der of the other sex The World says !:
1t is a curious circumstance that the
statue Of Liberty which has Ut been
unvilcd on the top Of the Capitol at
Washington represents colofed wo-
mn. For fear of scoloratlon, the
excuse is, an acid has been employed
which stains the surface of the figure and
thus makes he color weather proof. IL
is, perhaps, fit that The present piebald
Congress and Cabinet, whose only
thought is the negro, should be sur
mounted by mulatto figure Of Liberty ;
but as soon as the white peoples friends
are in majority in Congress We shall
insist upon white figure OF Liberty or
else none at all A crazy abolition cor

and the "presure" which they brought
TO bear in that behalf would have succeed
ed but for the capture Of Vlcksburg. That
occurrence, in the very nick Of time, saved
him. The radical faction were against
him because be was believed to be friend

cined to execute their pastisan bchests
in his department. His revocation OF

a severe attack of what may be called
the big-gun mania. The last develop
ment in his case, is the production Of a
VERT bic FOUNDER, which, according
TO a late English paper, was actually
fired a number OF times without burst
ing, and which threw a shot six miles,
Jonathan is about mile behind on et-
fective range; although ho has guns
which will pitch shot, after fashion,
over seven miles.
But this sff,r is no triumph in reality
for England, as nobody has the ightest
use for gun that throws over two. or At
most, three miles. Beyond this distanc,
all ranges are useless, even if applied to
the purpose of throwing Greek lire into
rebellious Charleston.
