NEW YORK, April 8.
Governor Orr's speech at the banquet given
by the Charleston Board of Trade, is published,
and commented upon by most of the New
York papers. It's tone in reference to parties,
is not relisAcd BY Democrats. II the South
1.-THE late Confederate sentimentl has any
friends at all ut the North, they are to be
found in the Democratic organization and
not among tie Radicals. Why the South
should be advised to turn its back upon is
friends. and coquet with the party which has
waged this terrible war, and brought down all
th;s ruin, is difficult to understand. For op
poslng tho onward march of radica!ism, the
Northern Democrats were driven out OF power
in 1850, and Tor SIX long years since, Tor the
crimes of standing by the Constitution aud
the rights OF the South, these Democrats have
suffered insult AID persecution, imprisonment
and nobbiny. Ii they have, not been able to
nt,aia power and stop the pressure upon the
South, it has7.yt been for the want of striving.
The very reason ot their failure has been their
presumed sympathy for the South. The Ma,
tional Democratic Convention at Chicsgo IN
1861 declared 1.-The war TO be isllure,' on
the part Of the Federal Government, aoI that
declaration was the cause of ne party defeat
IN every Northern State. Now that the patty

Increased It's numbers. in the face Of al! these
adverse circumstances, until, as in Copnecti-
chi. l. is beginning to regain its old ascenden-
cv. and now that the Republican party is torn
by Intestine quarrels, and is on The verge OF
dissolution, it is curious policy to destroy
the old friends by deserting them and give
new lease Of power to the old enemies by
joining them.
The charge is made that the Democratic
nartv Of the North promised to stand By the
South. and prevent coercion ir 1861, and that
the promise was not kept. In response, it is
said that the party would have thrown itself
into the breach, if, at the critical moment, 1t
had not been deserted By many OF its proml-
neut men. a large portion of its members
were carried off into the Republican ranks by
such Democratic leaders IS Dix, Dickinson,
Butler. Logan, Forney, Sickles, Stanton end
Cocilrane. This left the party in helpless
minority, and for refusing to follow those
leaders into crusade upon the South it has
been in minority ever since. Now it is pro
nosed that the South shall abandon the coD-
sistent Democrats (Frsnklin Pierce, Thomas
H. Seymour, Horatio Seymour, Charles

Butler, Logan and Forney are leaders.
These are some OF the reflections IN winch

upon Governor Or's proposed change OF

The marble palace of A. I. Stewart, on
Fifth Avenue, is approaching completion. 1t
will cost two millions of dollars, exclusive OF
furniture and paintings, whi:h will be worth,

The foundations of the house are upon solid
rock, and as it j. thoroughly fire proof, it bids
fair to last longer than the Pyramids. The
basement is appropriated to the servants, and
tie ground ard upper floors are divided of
into magnificent picture gallery, grand
hall, state room, parlorS, chambers, &C.,
nearly all lighted by grest chandeliers. 1t Is
