Beecher paid his compliments to
Tammany on Sunday night, before an
immense congregation at Plymouth
Church. He attributed the corruptions
not so much to the bad characters of the
men, as to the debased state of society.
The sin Of slavery first, the horrid war
next, and its extraordinary expense,
had made these men profigate. They
were not outcasts, but children of the
society we live in. The remedy for the
the evil was not to hang these men, but
to be better men ourselves and bring
about a better state of affairs all around
US cease to be cheats in business, stop
lying and be better men. He feared
not that the country would suffer by
this. England had passed through just
such times and come out unscathed. He
was convinced that our children would
yet see an honest governmentin in the city
of New York.
