hazards if our masts are all carried away
rig jury mast; if you can't save the ship
save the passengers construct raft; be
sure and save our lives, and as for the rest
we will sit here and grumble; we belong
to the Democratic party [Laughter.] If
that ship had to b: lightened to be saved it
is easy to see what part of the cargo ought
to be thrown overheard. [Applause.] Now
we are told that the Democrats who are in
these leagues are dupes. Laughter Mr..
Forney has said that this is devise for
President making and that the Presidential
canvass has commenced, and we must be
careful. Well, it would not be at all re-
markable if I should be duped. 1pretend to
no peculiar acuteness, nor is it at all material
what | may happen to do. But, here's my
friend, Mr.. Brady, at the summit Of his
profession, and distinguished in branch Of

himself, against imposition in the present
condition of the country, in the league o:
which he is the honored President. ZAP

grow in the streets Of New York when the
Southern trade ceased. Laughter We

t go to our shops, to our parks, to public
places Of amusement, to our places Of wor-
