HEAR WARWICK.
William NJ. Tweed has issued pro-
| nunciarnientO in due season, to the Democ-
racy Of New York. By courtesy it is
styled the address of the Democratic State
Convention but, of an actually, it is
the ma nifesto of Tweed. It's main fea-
lures consist in denunciation Of the
present administration of the United
States government, and herein it does not
differ from the ordinary run of such docu-
ments It is fair to assume that every
man who can read has read just such
a paper at least once every year since the
Democratic party was born. 1t declares
that the government is conducted without
honesty or ability. Tweed came by this
sentence as he Gid by his money, dis
honesty, for it was used thirty years ago
by Tweed against the Wings. As well
attack the intrenchant air as such
platitude. In all things else
the address has similar favor
Of Tammany antiquity, and if New York
consents to accept these old suggestions,
it is her privilege so to do. In one thing,
however, the address is peculiarly elo-
quent, and that is in denouncing the law
Of Congress which requires fair election
to be held in that State as well as else
where. This interference with the rights
of the State authorities is fercely de-
nounced as unjust and iniquitous, and
fraught with the seeds of centralization.
What have the Democrats in Louisiana to
say to this? To them this very law is a
protection, and measure of wisdom and
justice. Here, where the Republicans are
in the majority, it is constantly boosted
that Republican Congress has provided
a guarantee for a fair election, while in
New York, where the Democrats contend
that they are in majority Of
$4,000, it is boisterously asserted that
Congress has passed law which defeats
free election, What has Louisiana to
make in answer to this assertion? Is the
Democracy of this State dissatisfied with
the law of Congress? Not if they know
themselves.
Mr. Tweed insists on keeping out the
Chinese. What has the Louisiana Dem
ocracy to say to this disapproval of its
pet scheme? Is Tweed to prevent the
high-falutin Democrats of the South from
bringing coolies to their waste farms?
Not if the court knows itself, and it
think it do"
Boss Tweed congratulates both France
and Germany, which the Democracy of
this State must admit to be an inexcusable
attempt at carrying water on both
should 'srs But then as Tweed was
brought up at the chair making business,
when he embraced politics as profession,
he did not forget his old trick of sitting
on two chairs at one and the same time.
This address of Mr.. Tweed's to the
people OF New York, is worthy of con-
siderat on in these parts, only as it re-
fleets the sentiments and ideas Of the
man who is to choose the next President,
if the Democrats carry the day. He
owns New York, and New York owns the
Demod racy. Whatever he says, there
fore, is important for our consideration,
because it is the voice of Warwick
His ST ength is based on fraud and cheap
whisky, and his hand is mailed to smite
down honesty, temperance, and fair
govern ment. Tammany is his palace,
and the State Of New York is his royalty
Let uS treasure up his confusion of
language as an oracle to be interpreted
hereafter
