The sentiment that evoked the greatest ap-
plause at the democratic banquet in New York,
last night, was that uttered by Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Dorsheimcr, Of New York, when he said
that distinguished member Of the House Of
Representatives had told him that that House
had the power to inquire, and is endowed with
the powers which the British House OF Com
mons has exercised 10 every generation to work
out the liberties Of the English people, and that
he, the speaker, was sure thai The democracy
Of the country would not shrink from doing
what every Eaglish gcneratouwoud not shrink
from doing if the dutyrestcd on them, and that
he could hope for remedy Tor this vi eng, (al-
Iuding TO the inauguration Of Haycs,) even be.
fore the next election There are many indica-
tions that the ncxt SESSION ot Congress will he
Il stormy one, land that Inc efforts OF Mr.: Hayes
to secure ut least apeacelul acquesence 10 the
outrage committed upon the liberties OF the
people by his inauguration will fail. For the
good OF the country We hope tho Indications
may fail, for though the efforts of those who
have determined to challenge hir. Hayes right
to the Presidency may be iustigatcd by pa
triotic motives, and sustained by the dread of o
perpetuation Of the fraud Of the 5th Of March,
if the radicals deem that circumstances require
it, We think that the people of the country
were 30 disguised with that fraud, and the
means by which it was accomplished, cspcci-
ally by the degradation and prostitution Of the
Supreme Court, that they will make its rope.
tition impossible, and that any further dis
cussion or Investigation OF it will only excite
bad feeling and delay unnecessarily The re-.
turn of the nations prosperity.

DAILY AND TREwEEKLY B
EDGAR SNOWDEN-
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 10. 1871

President Hayes, now that he isin possession
of the government is doubtless trying to be as
rood q President as he knows how to be, and
should receive the countcnance and support OF
all the friends Of the country in that laudabe
effort; but what to one with no flaw III his
title to the presidency would be an easy task, to
him, whose title is smeared all over with fraud,
is q sore trial, an up hill work, and as difficult
to accomplish as it is for woman to recover
her lost reputation. His every movement IS
watched by suspicious eyes, and is liable TO be
misiuterpreted. His incentives to good works
are restrained, and his objections 10 evil acts
overcome by the dread Of the exposures OF
those conversant with the fraud by which he
was inaugurated, and in quoting whom most
of bis time is consumed. Comparatively a
young man, the mead Of one Of the most pow
erful nations in the world, and with no aspra-
tons for a second term to thwart The execution
Of his purposes, bis means and opportunities
for devotiug his whole time and energies 10 the
honor glory and welfare Ct his country were
never equaled by any Of his predecessors, and
would, we conscicntiously believe, be availed of
we're it not that his pralseworthy designs are
in ill accord with the desires Of those who Sc
cured him his fraudulent Office, and whose dis
pleasure be fears to iucur, lest they peach upon
him. But for the Influence of that dread, 10
which he lives and moves, and has his being.
we believe the administration Of MIR. Hayes
would, 10 after years, be designated as that OF
model president, but, with it, the four years
of bis term will be the most unhappy of his
life, will reflect no credit upon him, and, We
fear, will add little to the prosperity Of the
country that would not have been added dur
ing the administration Of worse man. We
have been led Into these remarks by the pub
lished threat that Mr.. Pitkin, thclateIy deposod
Marshal of Louisiana. and. who was instru.
mental 10 securing the vote OF that State for
Hayes, says that all the members Of tho FIcr'
day returning board have baeo provided for,
and that ii some provision DO not made for him,
he will know the reason Why.
