prescription.
New YORK, Oct. Is, 1876.
The Cooper Institute meeting, on the 18th
was addressed by the Hon. Daniel Dough-
erty, of Philadelphia, who has been known
as one Of the first orators of the United
States. he was formerly Republican,
and his address, which was unsurpassed for
clear and logical statement of the issues Of
canvass and general eloquence, has had an
effect equal 10 that of Mr.. Parke Goodwin.
At the close of Mr.. Dougherty's grand peo-
ration, the immense audience rose as one
man and gave vent to their enthusiasm In
long continued cheers. This meeting, like
all others under Democratic auspices, was
attended by crowds of our most respectable
citizens, which is an indication of the way
business men will vote. This State is sure
for Tilden, Hendricks and Reform. do
not speak from hearsay, but from official
returns received from responsible parties
ip this city. Seventy thousand is the small
est majority which the the facts will allow
US to claim for the Democratic candidates.
Morgan, the Republican candidate for
Governor of New York, has qusrreled with
Cornell and the Republican State Commit
tee,And put his canvass in the hands of the
infamous Jim Terwilligcr. who was Obliged
to leave his position as Clerk of the State
Senate in disgrace on account OF stealing
postage stamps to the extent of thousands
of dollars. A postage stamp thief is the
meanest kind of thief, but just the man to
conduct such campaign as Morgan is
making. The campaign of the slaveholding
candidate is conducted by the postage e-stamp
thief in Morgan's downtown Office. Where
you find Republican candidate for high
office, you are sure to find public robber
very close at hand.
There is reliable evidence that 1t is the in
tention of the Radical Committee after
using the troops now in South Carolina
which are mainly concentrated at Columbia
and vicinity to suddenly transfer them, just
previous to election, to North Carolina, in
order that the intimidation of colored voters
may be carried out te an eqnal exten in both
States. Like all the other plots of the cam
paign this one only needs to he exposed to
to be defeated The citizens Of North Car
olinia will not be intimidated by this man
Guvre, nor will the Democratic colored
voters whose number in that State is daily
increasing allow it to effect the votes.
President Grant seems determined to
emulate the Republican candidate for the
succession in the policy Of prescription of
all foreign born citizens. He recently in
ficted a wanton insult upon the representa-
tive of the Irish people who waited upon
him with an address. These represents
tive were Mr.. O'Coppor Power, NJ. P, and
Mr.. Psrnell. The President, instead of
giving them respectful audience, declined
to see them at all unless presented by the
British Minister, Sir Edward Thornton.
Naturally the British Minister could not
undertake to force upon the Presi-
dents attention matters or persons
when he had declined to receive or
consider. This is the novel feature in our
diplomacy. In 1851, Kossuth was our
guest, and the Secretary of State was no less
q man than Daniel Webster He not only
negotiated in favor of the Hungarian Chief
with the Austrian Government, but brought
him to America as the guest of the nation,
and with the approval Of the President
kossuth was received at Washington by a
Congressional Committee headed by Sena-
tors Cass, Seward and Shields. Mr.. Web
ster waited upon him Immediately, and for
mally introduced him to the President, who
treated him with the highest official as well
as personal distinction. But now, the rep
resentatives of the Irish people, who do not
stand in an attitude of hostility to the English
government, one of them, on the contrary,
being member of Parliament, are severely
snubbed by the President of the United
States in order to curry favor with the anti
foreign element in our politics, as repre-
sented by the American Alliance, of which
| Hayes is a member. Whether President
| Grant be also member or not, Is not
known; but his action In this case would
seem to indicate that he is. The truth OF
the matter is that the Republican party is
never satisfied unless engaged in proscrib.
I ing somebody for some reason or other. Its
pretense of being the party Of equal rights
10 absolutely false, and it will soon be dem
onstrated the Republican party is not In
