In what has the coun- try been benefitted? Where are the beneficial re- sults? Having unlimited control the responsibility cannot be avoided, for power and responsibility go hand in hand—the latter always standing side by side with the former. How has this responsibility been met? Coming into control before the war, it found the country in a state of peace, with abun- dant resources, frée from debt and without internal taxation. Ido not charge upon that party the im- mediate creation of the war after its entrance upon duty; but I do charge that the war that developed itself s0 soon afterward was but the result ot causes which it origiially produced, and in that view it is chargeable with it and its lamentable gl betty mi this it cannot escape; nor will the cunning by which it seeks to im) he responsibility upon the democratic ‘ty find any standing in the pages of impartial ry. {Ap- plause.) Ifever that shall be written, the true ac- countal ty for the war will be apparent to poster- ty. But pass from this to repeat the inquiry, What are the fruits of radicalism in power? It could do anything it wished, for good or for evil. With unlimited sway, there was no restriction. If it had a austinctive policy of 1t3 own, as boasted, there was no prevention te its full execution. It could produce any change it desired to effect. It could have restored the union of the States, It could have ameliorated the taxes. ave developed the public resources and established the public credit. Itcould have reduced the expendi- tures, reformed the public employments, have intro- duced effictency and reliability in the executive of- fices, redeemed tha paper currency by restoring spe- cie pi ents, revived commerce und navigation, pro- moted a higher standard of public morality, restored our flag to foreign seas, clevated the dignity and character of the Presidential oitice, provided for a better economy in government expenditures, put the army and navy on 4 peace footieg consistent with our institutions and the public necessities, prosecuted wich vigor the settlement cf our ou! standing claims upon foreign nalions, procured nd restitution and satisfaction for the efieted on our honor and the loss of our o during the late war, have brought back the government to a plain republican standard by which “the pomp and ceremony’ created by aan annatural war would have been obiiterated, and the enormous expenditures entailed upon the peopie would bave beeu altogether apolished, and, in short, the republican party, With the great powers which were vested and assumed, could have restored to the government its former economical simplteity, and made us a8 a people tree, happy, powerful, united and great—one in fra.ernal concord, and one in common progressive nationality. These de- strable changes were within the power of the publican party to have accomplished. This great work they have failed in perfecting, and now, in- stead of abolishing or reducing the excessive tax, tion, they have continued it so that they cou continue the army of paid officials e ployed in its collection, and aiso to be pro- vided with an electioneering fund by which to continue their party dominancy. Instead of reviy- ing te foreign trade, they have further restricted it by Increasing the duties on all bnported articles. Instead of reviving commerce and navigation, they have further depressed them by levying increased duties on all articles entering into the construction of vessels. Inst of demanding from Engiana acknowledemeit! 4 settlement of our rights, a dtl- atory, Don-scting policy has been adopted, which be construed imto further concession to nt power. Mr. Wood, in conciu- sion, sati:—Instead of reducing the expendi- tures, they have added largely to the 1 list. This is fully shown the results ‘of the costly experiment made. by lus election to the office. In short, Grant and his administration are Jailures—lamentabie, ignominous fatiures—as far be- neath those who have preceded him as the rays of a penny taper are beneath the effulgence of a noonday sun.

As to the ihreat of noiding the entire government under every circumstance in the tuture the latest act of President Graut would seem to fndicate that the threat was meant in its enuirety, for no greater proof of this could be ven than Grant's sending to this city woops to control our elections In deil- ance of the pupic wil But uduiittir that une republicans nave had tuis absolute control of the geueral government, What, duriug the gt hea they have heid 1t, bave they accomplished?

They might have brought us back again to the old days of prosperity, when our flag was re- spected and we were becoming the greatest, most rosperous and mnost powerful nauion in the world; put they did not, We have got from them in- creased taxation, unsettled Alabama ciaims, a cowardly foreign policy, an exhausted revenue, paper currency and utter inefm- ciency in the management of public affairs, they tell us they have reduced the public debt; but don’t believe these monthly siatements of the goverument on the subject. They conceal the true state of affairs, and never allude to the $4v0,00u,000 of debt that lies pigcon-holed in the Treasury Department, From the manner in which they boast of this reduc- tion of the debt it would seem as if such @ thing were heard of for the first time in the history of the country. At the close of the American Revolution there was @ debt of $75,000,000; im 1812, when the war with England broke out, it was §57,000,000; in 1817, when the war closed, it was $123.000,000; but in 1837, at the close of Andrew Jackson’s term as President—and from 1817 to that time the government was democratic— the whole debt was liquidated, every dollar of it. In 1846 we had the war with Mexico, and in 1848 the Gbt was up to $82,000,000; in 1856, the much ‘abuved Frankitn Pierce, the public debt was reduced to twenty millions of dollars, and when Lincoln was elected President it was almost entirely paid off. This was something for democrats to be proud of. Contrast this-with tie debt under the repulican administration and he would say, so help his God, he believed two-thirds of that debt was absolute and wholesale repablican robbery, Now that we are after having flve years 01 peace, taxa- uon should notybe higher than what 1t wasjfive years before the war. But the lowest sum fur any one year since the close of the war was $460,000,000, and In 1869, to the close of the last fiscal year, the expenses amounted to $50),000,000. “He and his colleagues had the utmost difficulty in getting Congress, last session, to reduce the income tax from five to two and a halt per cent, and this too when a republican C ingress was laying Schemes to raise more money. The speaker then spoke of State politics and drew a comparison be- tween Grant and Hofman and was will- mg to take the two men as representatives of republicanism and democracy. In speaking of Grant, he said, he was not possessed of sufficient inteiligence to understand tne position he filled, and as to his Cabinet it was composed of men below ‘diocrity, not one of whom before their official career began was able to attain a nigher position Ulan that Of & tuird rate lawyer tn @ country town. JAMES BROOKS was next introduced and said he came there asa member of Congress to protest against the action of President Grant in sending the United States troops to this city to imericre with the State elections. He believed these troops were sent here for the put pose of intimidation, There was no intention on the part of democratic voters in this city and State to resist the law. Kull and amp.e power was vested in the civil authorities to preserve order and the enforcement o1 the laws. These troops were sent out here to insult us. Among them is one regi- ment just returned from South Carolina and Tennes. see, Where their business was to aid in electing ne- groes. to Congress, He protested agaiust this insult to the Empire City, and pronounced this act of Presi- dent Grant as unwise, tyrannical and in utter hos- tility to the constitution of our country, and he in- voked the President to withdraw bis army and leave us to the protection of the United States laws. SUNSET 0OX was the next speaker, and sald that the procession then passing outside was the most significant speech that could possibly be made. New York had never given up her domestic rights, and he was saddened tosee introduced to this city a power alien to her institutions. It seemed to him that the presence of United States troops here was intended to try to provoke New York citizens to a disturbance, Mr, Cox toen took up his opponent, Mr. Greeley, and, after amusing the audience for some time at the expense of the farmer from Chappaqua, he dis- cussed at some length the question of taxation, en- dorsing Mr. Wood’s statements as to the hard fight that had been made in Congress last sesston even for the very smallest amount of reduction of tie tax burthens. OTHER SPEAKERS. Mr, Cox was followed by the Hon. Thomas P. Ackers, Judge Reuter and Congressman Robinson, all of whom made briel #peeches, ‘The meeting closed with cheers for the Tammany ticket. THE GRAND STAND. Speeches, Pyrotechnics and Enthusinsm. The point @appui, around which the unterrifiea democracy who could not gain admission to Tam- many Hall in consequence of the immense jam of luumanity wedged in and contiguous to that butld- ing, was the grand stand on Union sqnare, directly opposite Broadway. Around this, long before the hour fixed for the speaking to commence, myriads of people congregated, and not even the immense gatherings waich there assembled daring our recent civil war were any of them equal im point ol numbers to that of last night in Union square. The grand stand was a gem of architectural beauty und embellishments. In the centre, Jacing Broadway, was @ large and excel- lently executed likeness of his Excellency Governor Hoffman, ceptously decorated on either side by the national bunting and other appropriate decora- tions. A flood of light was thrown on and aronnd the stand by means of numereus chan- deliers, while the vicinity of the whole square was thickly studded with Oninese lanterns pendant trom telegraph poles and housetops, producing @ very pretty effect. immense numbers of skyrockets, iliuminated balloons, &c., were sent in aerial Nights throughout the evening and a fine band of music on the stand stirred up the spirits of the over- flowing crowd below. The Carleton House. on the corner of Union square and Fourth avenue, was near being doomed to flames in consequence of the ushing pairiotisin of its proprietor, Mr. Outl, who had wo elaborately iluminated his establishment for the occasion that tt went on fire, but was saved from damage by the timely interference of few policemen and some of the crowd. Senator CREAMER presided, and opened the meet- He said our elections tiiat had beer character- ved at every period of our history were auiferent from this, inasmuch as we were ihreatened by the federal government with interference wita the pee ple of this great and free city. (Cheers.) He told them they would show by this election that the federal government could not mtertere with them. (Cheers. the speaker then went on to review the action oI Cougress in the registry and election laws and laid the whole blame tor any misgovernment of the cit; of New York, if any existed, at the door of the radi- cals, who made laws obnoxious to the people and calculated to deprive them of their liberties.

Having o1nted out the design of General Grant to ride dowit he liberties of the people and thereby secure hist own re-election, the speaker concluded amid applause, essrs, E. ©. Perrin, James W. Gerard, Jr., Captain Thompson and others having addressed meeting, the proceedings were brought to a close. During the speaking the several ward clubs passed in frontof the stand, each vying with the other in the magnificence of their banners and ap- eaeaane ie and making a really tine and credilable splay. to THE REVIEW. The review occupied from eight o'clock until about midnight, and as each battalion passed the reviewing stand, and the genial face of General McClelian was recognized, cheer upon cheer rent the air, cannons boomed, and every method of en- ppeee demonstration was indulged in, On the baicony with General McClellan during the greater part of the night were Governor Homan, ex-Gov- ernor Seymour, Mr. McQ, Kerr, Richard 0’Gormon, and others, ACCIDENT IN THE PROCESSION While Henry Grube, aged 14, living at No, 835 Firat avenue, was standing on the corner of Thirty- ninth street and Third avenue, at nine o'clock Iast evening, Witnessing the Tammany procession, a Ko- man candle exploded prematurely, burving Lim seriously about the neck and hands, He was taken to Bellevue Hospital, THE CHARITIES OF NEW YORK. Its Schools, Hospitals and Asylums—A Good Record for a Democratic City. At a democratic meeting in this city on Tuesday evening Mr. Algernon 8, Sullivan undertook to show by facts and figures that the democratic city of New York was foremost among the cities of the world in its care for education and in the magai- tude of itscharity, In proof of this he argued:— As to education, the democracy in this city have done more to ;rojote it than any equal number of people on the face of the earth. There is no popula- tion which voluntarily imposes such # tax for public schools, The amount appropriated in 1869 was $3,150,000, The whole number of children taught in these schools Was 235,082. We have 250 schools for white children and eighteen schools Tor colored children. They are wisviy classified into primary schools, grammar schools, high schools, nor- mat schools one to train male and one to train female teachers), and @ college of the first rank. We have day schools and evening schools in order to supply the wants of children and youth who must work during the day for a livelihood. We maintain schools in the asylums for children of misfortune; for instance, at the New York Orphan Asyiuin, the Protestant Half Orphan Asylum, the Ro: Uatho- lic Urphan Asylum, tne Colored Orphan Asylum, tue Five Points House of Industry, the Cbildren's Aid Society, the Nursery and Child’s Hospital, &., &c. We have schoolhouses constructed on the most per- fect models of convenience and health; we sup- ply to ali scholars, gratuitously, text books and apparatus unstintedly, all of ihe highest attatn- able standard. Our course, method and system of instruction and school management are liberal and excelicnt almest beyond a parallel. Visiting School Commisstoners from almost every city and country have pronounced our schools to be the best public schools in the world, Every morning, at nine o’clock, the children who throng to our schools must be counted by the hundred thousauds. New York was the first community to establish sctools entirely free of any charge. The prevailing system was to have some pay tuition aud others not, according to supposed ability. Democratic New York progreased beyond all that. New York was first to introduce instrumental music—the piano—into public schouls. Ever progressing, New York abolished fogging in UTC SCLOO!S. friend Nathaniel Jarvis is my fi h authority for these last statements, . jut in addition to the provision made by the democratic government of New York city for general education, laiirm that the democratic population of this city has not, for intelligence, Its equal in any city nthe world. ‘there are more newspapers pub- lished and read in our city daily than in any other community of equal size, in the proportion of three toone, ‘This 13 the more significant because our newspapers are conducted with an enterprise and enlightenment hardly equalled anywhere. An intel- ligent observer assures me that nearly five handrea thousand newspapers are issued and read datiy in New York. Ignorance can uever be laid at the door of such a city. As to public morals, the code of laws ts the best test of that in any community, I affirm, and challenge contradiction, after careiul perusal of all the laws and ordinances of the city of New York—and they have all been enacted by the democrats--that every one of those laws squares with the strictest rules of right, and reveals the highest standard of public virtue. Not one tolerates or winks ai vice. An experienced city missiopary, Who was collect. ing statistics ol the number of attendants at publi church worship, among Jews and Gentiics, Prote auts and Cathoites in the city, stated that the num ber of democrats who regularly attended public worship in New York was about four times as great as the number of republicans, Look also at the work done by ment under democratic impuises for charity. Commussioners of Public Charities and Corrections supervise and maintain the whole charity system, and all the correctional institutions of the city. By our self-imposed taxes we have the Bellevue Hos- pital, the Charity Hospital on Blackwell's Island, the Smallpox Hospital, the Fever Hospital, the Paralytic Hospital, the Epileptic Hospital, the Hos- pital for Incucabies, the Infants’ Hospital, the Blind Asylum; the Lunatic Asylum, with its retreat and madhor a Maternity Hospital, an Inebriate Asylum, a Soldiers’ Retreat, Nurseries and Nursery Aospital at Kandail’s Island, an Idiot Asyinm and our city govern- ‘The School, Alms Houses, an Industrial School on Hart’s Island for ‘vagrant boys, a Nautical School and ship, the extensive L Labor Bureau and Inteiligence Bureau tor Rellef to the Outdoor Poor which the city is divided into eleven districts, with a Visitor and physician for each, to give gratuitous attendauee to the poor; the Colored Home, the Colored Orphan Asylum, the Ambulance Depart- ment, the Morgue, the fund for disiribution to the blind, the arrangement now progressing to furnish shelter to the houseless poor at night, For these noble works of charity and democrauc city government expended |} $1,635,043 77.
