Generous Sentiments" In New York
Grafton or Senator Cnssorly-Spccch OF
Representative Cox. T.. i"'
The New York Democracy celebrated
the recent "Fourth" at Tammany. The
wigwam was in blaze. We have read
with great satisfaction the sentiments OF
the speakers. They breathe spirit of
consideration for us of the South, aud of
determined opposition to the assaults of
radicalism upon the popular institutions
of the land, Senator Casserly. referring
to the conditions imposed upon the
South after the surrender, said that he
honored the people Of the South for re-
fusing to become the willing instruments
of their own dishonor, by consenting to
put the brand of reputation upon those
men who had served the Southern cause
in the cabinet and in the field. . If. says
Senator Casserly, genuine harmony does
not now prevail between the South and
North, it is because of the unwise and
vengeful policy of the radical party. He
said that, under the present state of
affairs at Washington and elsewhere,
under radical auspices, it was "asses and
savans to The 'front.'" and not 'to The
centre" as Napoleon arran ged it in
Egypt. Mr.. S. S. Cox made speech,
replete with sense and sentiment. He
said:
eve must watch each movement of
the radical janizaries. They have seized
| the po wers of the State, and by arbitra-
ry methods have turned the very engines
of our freedom aggressively upon the
States and the people. Montesquieu says
that, 'as in democracies the people seem
to act most as they please, this sort of
government has been deemed most free;
and the power of the people has been
confounded with their freedom It is
true we may have the temple of freedom
while the spirit is absent from the shrine;
or, if present, in the form of deformed
and degrading image. It is true with us
that, while the greater sovereignty has
cngrossed all lesser sovereignties, the re-
public still exists. The beautiful Evan
gel of Liberty taught by the Father of
Democracy, Thomas Jefferson, in the
| Declaration of Independence, has been so
tortured in its text and misapplied in the
commentary, that it reads, under radical
light, more like the mummeries of some
unearLhly craft than the pure, simple,
oil or/1oroJ >fr int 4 Il
Grafton embodied in the local govern
ments and Federal Constitution of the
United States! Usurpation and violence,
unfraternity and prescription, have mu-
tilated our system. The present admin
istration, in it's treatment of the South,
has not exhibited single clement of
charity or brotherhood. Tho only code
OF amnesty-fve years after the end of
civil strife-proposedb by radical leader
-(spoons) has i'll it so many exceptions
that they outweigh the modicum of
grace in the first section of this bill of
hate. Not only are States held in terror
and in thrall by the majority of an omni-
potent Congress, but that body is now
engaged in showing how, in individual
liberty, it can set aside the Bill of Rights
IL the Federal Constitution"
And in conclusion, he went on to say i:
"Tho Democracy demand peace among
the States, order among the people, and
economy in the administration. Secure
these, and credit lifts up it's head proud
ly! Bond-holder and plough-holder, tax
pay er and tax-gatherer, all receive JUS
tice. Currency becomes as good as coin.
Public credit restores prosperity and
gold and silver. No one then can traffic
in our credit for private gain. AS Co.
vernon Seymour once said, democratic
faith seeks to level up. It means that
coin shall ring again on the counter of
the tradesman, glitter in the palm of
labor, and gladden. the heart of the
wounded soldier Honor, peace and
welfnre-these will come with the end of
prescription against the European emi-
grant and the Southern citizen. Our
grass-grown ship-yards will again echo
