After the singing OF patriotic song, written for the
occasion, Fernando Wood delivered short talk
in the phy style which marks the speech Of the red
man. He told his audience that he had been at the
Grand Council OF the Indians around which are gath
cred big Indians who led our enemies to battle
but he had little good TO tell OF them He asked MS
brotler " this anniversary Of our
blessed and much loved country's birthday,

modern Goths and Vandals who have laid waste our
homes and made depredaons upon our peace our pros
perlty and our happiness"
Laughter and cheers accompanied this address, which
was followed by the singing of the "sword Of Bunker
Hill by the Glee Club. The Hon. g. 5. Cox was then
introduced, and made a short speech:
SPEECH OF THE HON. S. S. cox.
Having spoken often the past eight years on these
occasions vainly sought to decline for this day One
thought only my short talk. This day is dedicated
TO civil liberty : Is there element OF civil freedom
named in the Declaration reserved in the COnsttu-
which this Administration has conserved or which
1t tried to aDrdge destroy What mOckerY
TO tell Louisiana that she derives her just powers from
OF the governed that she AN equal state,
according in her music with the Federal constellation
What a scandal tell South Carolina that taxation
and representation go together What sham to talk
to Arkansas about being htly Organzed-between
and happiness How simple our talk OF the tyranny
OF George Ill. over the colonies, while the unim-
peaeheu Durel PGVhetS 'o piU@oeou' @ ~

lima, escapes Indictment by the dignity OF his ofcei
What commentary. the Calling guns OF Casey and the
Imprisoned legislators OF Louisiana, Is the impeach-

Mr., Coxs speech was frequently applauded especially
when annoyed by the disarrangement Of his collar
during one OF his outbursts against misgoyernmen he
pulled it of and went with his remarks evidently
much relieved. Rufus f. Andrews spoke few words
in regard to pressgag" law, and then tho meeting
was adjourned with the announcement that the great
spring" would then flow IN the basement. The MEM
bers and guests then had banquet.
