tie of New Orleans, was unprece-
dentedly brilliant. Boyer's speech
was most mastery, though Stan
berys announcement that this was
his first appearance in Democratic
meeting, and his formal affiliation
with that party, and his applicable
remarks were received with rapturous
applause. The proceedings cover
fifteen columns in the InteIigence,.
The following is part of it: The
President joined in the festivities.
Mr.. Stanbery said: We are honored
by the presence of one whose devo-
ton to principle and whose courage
in the most terrible of conflicts, re-
corded in the executive history of
our country, justly entitle him to
rank next to the old hero himself. r
propose the health Of Andrew John
son, President of the United States.
lGreat applause; the audience rising
from their seats and manifesting
much enthusiasm.
The President rose, and was greet
ed with enthusiastic and prolonged
cheering. He said: In response to
the allusion just made, I have no
remarks to make other than to repeat
the sentiment to which utterance was
given this night one year ago-that
is. no State, of its own will, has q
right, under the Constitution, to
renounce its place in or to withdraw
from the Union; nor has the Con-
gress of the United States, under the
Constitution, the power to exclude or
degrade the people of any State, by
reducing them to new territorial
dependency upon the Federal head.
The one is disruption and disso-
luton of the Government; the other
is consolidation and the exercise of
despotic power. The advocates of
either are alike the enemies of the
Federal Union and our republican
form of Government. Great ap-
plause.)
