But his pastor was always preacting resigagation, and he supposed he was obliged to submit. He thea spoke of the degradation in which New York oity had been plunged by the corrupt ring that had ruled tt, and how within the short space of six weeks it had been purified. If the Puritan Fathers bad got into thetr hands public plunderers like those we had they would have hanged them as- surediy. had other notions of law than ours. There was no gallows in tue world at the time of the first murder, but there was a mark put upon the murderer by which all mea shouid know him, and there was now @ Mark put upon the plunderers of this city by which, no mater what part of the world they might go to, they should be known, Thelc photographs, as they ap- eared in our weekly papers, were gone over he world and the familiar visages of these men would everywhere be recognizeu. The speaker conciuded by alluding to the self-government which the peopie thenmwelves should everywhere demaad and practice. ‘The first toast was “The day we celebrate,” re sponded to by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who, aiter humorously allading to the fact (lat owing to @ conversation he had had during dinner with the chairman the latter had stolen a good deal of nis thunder, glanced at tne little that nad ever been said, written or sutt about the Pilgrim Fathers, the Maytlower al the people who had come over here in that famous sip, He then went on to speak of the fathers themselves:—Tnat they had their faults there ts no doubt, They brought thetr prejudices over here with them and thelr superstitions. ‘The devil was everywhere, they thought. We in New York know that such 1s not the case. But they be- lteved that the devil's emussarics were abroad, and hence the abuses to which witches were subjected. This was an insanity brought from Europe. Our fathers were more exempt from the disease than were those left after them. Th came here Lo build States. ‘They had wise conce Uons of tue value of man, even in his lowest estate, and when they came to’ administer as governors they did so Yeverentially. They built States aud societies for the benefit of tne individual, remembering that no State can fiourisn long where the individual men are not in honor, in the ancient Roman times the family was the State--as the family was so was the State. Now: it is the individual. Our fathers, as the builders, nad as wise ideas as to Lhe macbinery of government as any men who ever lived. Look at our institutions all over the country. They are New Hngland institutions, They were first tried in New Englaud, and then scattered abroad, so that the whole political machine or North America to-day owes it# origin to New. England. «To New England also belongs the doctrine of State rights. They were jealous communities those, in the early times. This wile sweep {of country must have ‘some joints where to give way, and these joints the State lines. But | do not mean by State rights Soace sov- ereignty. When, therefore, it 1s said that Virginia ts the mother of State rights, it 4s forgotten that this is @ Southern idea, because it belongs to New Eng- jand, Did vot Calhoun and others of tne leading Southern men get their education in New Engiandr Our fathers believed tn public sentiment and brought up a people who had to act accordingly. In the Old Country the State owned the Church; here the Church owned the State. ‘fhe first thing ina new town used to be a chureh, and the inhabitants or the magistrates would not think of doing anything without consul Ing the pastor. The ministers then preached po! tics in the pulpit and taught the peopie mo- rality tu politics, as well as in all other re- Jations of lite. They prayed to the Father and tor the fatherland, Communities are like individuals — they get over indiscretions. ‘The rebound in the community 13 like the revound Ip the life of an ine dividual. It was public sentiment that guided New England. 1t is in this public sentiment that re- publics are superior to monarciies. It was tls that killed slavery; for when New England ts aroused it stays aroused until the public sentiment ly gratified. Jt was in one of these paroxysms during the last few months that the dragon with its han- dred heads was killed in this city. New England had @ bright Idea of jusuce between man aad man, and this Ca inaee wherever the Puritan spirit is to be found.
