Speech of C. Chauncey Burr, Esq.
This gentleman was serenaded by some of
his friends, in New York, when he made thc.
following patriotic speech ?
Fellow Citizens : You will, I trust', pardon
ino for not attempting to lind language to ex
press roy gratitude . this demonstration. It
is so unlike the kind of demonstration 1 have
been in thc habit of witnessing for thc last
five or six years, that you. will not be aston
ished, if 1 appear a little embarrassed. I dis
like to speak of myself, because, in n great
Atruggl? for constitutional law and liberty, T
consider a ulan's personality lo bo lost, Bo
tddes it is not ulwayathc case that a ?min who
"stands unmoved and impregnable nuder the fire
of his enemies is-equally well balanced under
the flattery of bis friends. But, gentlemen,
do-not sujipo.se that I take ''?is demonstration
for flattery. You arc not tue .clase nf men to
practice flattery even'if I were tlio kind of
man to bo influmic?d hy it. The class of men
I sec before nie is loo literally and too fearful
ly pnrt and parcel of our country to fool any
thing but the profoundest earnestness and sin
feority in the action of public men, and in the
drift of public events. Th? laboring popula
tion has always the gratest interest ut stake
in any country. T>? r'oh !,rc tho habit of
thinking thomsons the chief figuro every
where, and of OeHfcving that all laws and pub
lic nicnsur's ought to bc fashioned for the in
crease V1 protection of their wealth. And
thi?,l!,? been entirely the scope of legislation
M our country for tho last six years especially.
lt is a great delusion. For the rich have ro
sily less at stake in tho country than the poof.
Tho laboring poor arc necessarily as llfupll ri
part of thc country, to which they belong, as
thc trees, thc rivers, the lakes and the mines',
and are quito ns inseparable* from it. These
all go with the country, whether it goes up or
down. 'J he rich are, to a certi.in extent, in
dependent of the country. If the country is
ruined, the amount of their wealth may be
less, but still they have the means to got o'nf
of it, and to nettle themselves in safer end
moro prosperous regions, lint the pnor must
remain and perish. The rich can say, " I
have great iiitt-.re.-its bete j 1 have per cents,
profit* und' capital." Hut thc poor can say,
' "1 havo groa tb r interests still, for 1 have wife
and children, and ail ? hold dear, which must
remain to share the fate of tho country, what
ever it may be." Ruin the country, ?ind the
millions of laboring men must romain", they
and their.-familles, to go down in despair'to
prettier. Rain the country, sud the few rioh
may- gather up their hoarded gains and put
off, with their families, for sonic other spot,,
where they may still enjoy the blessings of
pouoe and plenty. Ruin thc country, and the
millions of laboring people Want for broad.
Ruin thc country, and tho rich will riot in
luxury. Which, then, has the greatest inter
est nt stake in this country, the rich man, full
of wind and impudence, or the honest, labor
ing, poor man, full of anxiety lind despair for
the fate of his wifo and bahes?. Who oaks'
this question ? li is answered by a thousand
voices nf roason bud justice, that tho country
belongs airly to all the citizens; but if yon
insist orr class distinctions, .then it pre-emi
nently b ulonga to tho laboring poor, who have
no otnoi inheritance but its prosperity. If
they will insist on olass distinctions.
jay the country ^^^(gj^y t? iU
thotf right and their
?vari' , TCjTfiee that its fate does not pajis beyond
their political control. Tho Uluek Republi
can panera, for tho last year and a half, have
been throwing out feelers in- relntioti to cut
ting tho poor off from tho" right of yoting. \
want to doprivo no oitizen of tho right of vo
ting, but if tho right of '. franchis?'1H to bo
abridged,'! doolaro that jnstiod and safety de
mand that it ahould-bc out off'ot tbfl'rieh end
of tho line, while tho many, tfie millions, aro"
at tho T^Oor end The really great, sAorcd and
1 indefeasible internst? aro qiostly at the poor
?nd of ihn lino. Thor? lie the how? of . tho
land with, all their priceless treasures. Abridge
thc right'of*. franchise there, und you have,
with ono bjow, struck down tho masses of this
country to thc wretched place of their exist
ence in the old world. Besides, uo country,
ever lost its prosperity ?nd itt liberty by the
connivance of the poor. No, never ! , In ev
ery instance where a country has Cullen, it
hus been in consequence of the luxury, the
aggressions, the corruption and thc tyranny of.
the rich. In every ihstanco of a country's
ruin, it was the work bf a-few rich, nitd no
where of thc poor many. But th; uw0K !{c
publicans, feeling I??*?,of ?orrowifig
tho f>ji???! '-yt 30 as to exclude the while poor,
was, for tlio present, .impracticable, have hit
upon thc scheme of negro suffrage, as an off
set to thc poor whito man's vote. They know
that thc negro.is a mero blind animal tool in
thc hands of . thc party holding lum. Their
negro bureau and negro suffrage together is
simply "a Yankee patejit invention, and tinny"'
be called a Black Republican voling machine.
It is a fact which will not be disputed that
tho very rascals who aro now plotting for ne
gro suffrage, have always been, in their heart,
Qpposed,to the suffrage of thu while poor man.
Negro suffrage is simply a trick to tuite power
from tl?o white masses, and keep il in the
hands of the few-Purk mic despots who have
no real political capital in this country, ex
cept in die poor barbarian negro. A year
ago this month, a ftcpublican editor, whom I
have known for many years, plainly told nie
that thc result of the war would be that the
negro vote would oflset rhe Trish and German
vote of this country. J replied that, when the
irish mid Germans discovered that they had
been fighting to reduce themselves and other
white men, to the status of negroes, I had no
doubt they would feel profoundly grateful to
tho party which bed so abused their confi
dence. In this groa;.shame aiid disgrace.of
negro equality tho poor laboring whito man is
thc grcqt sufferer. It is by tho side of the
laboring white man that the negro is to stand
ns the equal, nod not by the side of the rich
politician who places him there. It is the
social plane of tho white laboring man that Is
to be Africanized, and not tl.c'parlors mid sa
loons of thc rich. You. will remember, fel
low-citizens, that when about three years ago
I asserted that, one of thc objects of thc war
was negro equality. .1 was denounced as " an
"enemy of the Government." It is not pleas
ant to recall those days of violence and of bru
tal stupidity. But your call upon me to night
is evidence that you consider my positionnas
being vindicated by the present!attitude
tho country. So,, my friends, withoo* the
least spirit of boasting,' I may say ?Ml ?'very
ono of the is. \s I made against tho w ir is
vindicated by its-results, BM hy tho 1,0 longer
disguised treason of tho Hlaek llopubjicnn
party. T appeal to jn? to night whether I
did not speak tho truth when I told yon the
war was not for the Union, but for the negro,
and torevolutionizo and to overthrow the free
uovernmcul of our country ? [Yondid, you
did.] Tho reason I opposed the war was that
1 was satisfied with and loved the free volun
tary system of government of our fathers, ?ind
despised thc bloody European system of force
which the war was meant to establish Now,
my f'rioiids, after tho results of the war are
before thc country, tell mc which one of my
positions during tho war have I to recant.
[Not one, not one."J No, you say well, not
one.. But I do not" allude to the matter for
the purpose of proving that I' am ?ot very lia
ble to make mistakes, but for thc purpose of
reimprcssitig upon your minds those great arid
sacred principles of government in which our
liberty and our safety alone reside. 1 sec no
other way to save our country but to return
fully to tho old landmarks. To bo as free,
hsppy and prosperous a people as wo were, wo
must retrace every step we. hnvq taken since
tho negro party came into power. If there is
n single act of theirs touching thc character
of tho Government that is not wrong, that is
not a violation of thc Constitution and spirit
of tho Union, what one is it? I challenge
tho editors mid praters of that party to ppint
out a single one of their party measures which
P cannot show to bc a violation of thc Coi.sti
t ut iou mid a crhno against liberty. [Some
one in thc audience said they saved tho Union.]
No, they, have not saved tho Union. Anu
President Johnson himself says that tho Union
shall not be saved. That is just tho fight be
tween tho President and thc Black Bepublican
party. Tho party is consistent-it-bas not
changed its course a hain It is contending
now Vor [B^yjj?t it wns fighting for during
tho war- for$o ovWto^-0?,^0.1/1""? W
for a centralized Amorican despotism. Do
you call this abomination n Union, which is
held together by tho bloody point of tho bayo
net, and witera-one-half is plotting to koop
thc bloody heel permanently upon hie nooks
of tho people' of the other hnlf ? T.f there is
any man"in this crowdi wh? is fool enough or
kuitVo'enough to onll'this accursed product of
this Abolition war a Union, I wont him td
stand out there, so that I may seo how he
looks.. Why, if. tbia aboioinntion, as. it now
stands, is a Union, then hell may set up for r
placo of virtue und happiness ! I will go fur
thor and say, if there is in any world a worm
hell limn thia, then Ippity the condition of !
thc Black Republicana her?ii?er. Dives bowl- |
lug for a drop of water tojcool his burning
tongue' was to be envied xor contrast. Read
their newspapers 1 Bead their .speeches in
Congress! Nay, r"?d thc prayers of their
olergymon 1 Aud where, out ?f Beelzebub'*
kingdom, was there ever sucnipn itiferoul spirit
.before I Hatred, spite, malice, revengo, all
larded with such iiioomprc?ft?nsiblo lying !
And this is to be called ? T^ott-afrec,'h?p
?..:tut country ! God bdVo mmv/ ?po?
us if wo ?re such tools as to think so ! Look
to the once proud and honored Capitol of our !
country, and behold it now, after this Aboli
tion war, degraded to a bandy den of negroes,
absolutely unlit for tho *. residence of decent
white met) and women. The cushions in the
galleries mid.saloons of tliOrCapitol arc actu
ally swanning with vermin, thc natural pro
duct of thc " wards of tho nation," a: thc ne
groes an; poetically called, and thc morals and
polities of thc leading members are ns lousy as
the cushions 1 Only last week ono of the
Congressional mouth-pieces of the negro party
de : bl red that They would never consent that
Congvcss should put liberty to sleep upon any
Procustcan bed made by the fathers, binon
less slrnr-glo it; in'the cast-off garments of its
own ohildhQod." What dors this moan ?
Why. in plain language, that the government
made by our fathers was a Piocustcaii bed for
the inglorious sleep of liberty, and that the
negro party lins stripped the government of
its original clothing, and determined that it
shall never bc put on again. This same con
fessed traitor, Patterson of ?Hew Hampshire,
calls the principles of the Constitution of the
United States "musty precedents," mid says
they hold them " in healthy cf tl tem pt." Such
is thc present language and ittilude of Con
gress And this, my fclbw-citizeris, is the
same party, and those are tilt same principles
that 1 combated during tho wir. During thc
whole war these traitors were niming nt the
very thing they are doing ntw. It was for
this that the war was innugunted mid carried
on ; and it was for this that Jdcnounced it ns
a crime, not only agni**' iAorwi?v??n
ciple of government, tnit against christian civ
ilization. It was?1 wnr ?f conquest and plun
der. Thc partpwMoK carried it on. as still
represented i? Congress, now admits lt to have
been a war of conquest, and they are so fur
from denv^'g't to have' been a war of plun
der, tlii1' they aro still, .after the war is ended,
?live?'lng all kind of schemes and excuses to
,t?nt?lino tho plunder of the Southern people.
Their thirst for plunder is not yet satiated.
Their cannibal appetite for blood is not yet
appeased. And, if 1 speak of plunder, fel
low-citizens, you have had a good taste of the
ge ti Pus of the negro party in this respect j for
I see here bolero me many who had to mort
gage your little homestead to buy substitutes
to feed the insatiate devil of Abolitionism.
Once you owned.n peaceful home, which you
had gained by your own daily toil ; but Black
Republicanism laid its mailed band upon your
shoulders and said : " Conic ! your money or
your.life ?.either go yourself to be shot nt for
the glory pf negroes., or mortgage your homes
and get money to buy those who are to bo shot
in ymir stead ! This was tho only alternative
tho Black Republican party ive the poor of
this country. This party h?..- mortgaged not
only your homestead, but it has mortgaged
your muscle and thc sweat of your brow, to
pay a debt 'heaped up in murdering and plun
dering the Southern people. Well, gentle
man, I take no moro pride in seeing thc South
ern people plundered than' I should in seeing
tho Northern people plundered. It is truo
that I was born herc in tho North, but that
consideration renders mo, if possible, still
more keenly' sensitive to tho mortification nnd
shame of witnessing the spirit of conquest,
plunder aiid'despotism that ha? disgraced the
placc of my birth.. If I leavomy children no
other inheritance,'I shall nt least proudly leave
them the name of a father who, in a time of |
great corruption, tyranny, nnd brutnl insanity, I
never for o single hour suffered his integrity |
to bond before tho furious storm. . If I have
suffered persecution in this cause, I am proud
of it. If the place where I wu? born is stamped
with n great wrong, I am the moro ashamed
of it. I look upon these Abolition tyrnnts
with ns gront horror and hatred ns the'proud
nnd virtuous man does upon the d?filer of; his
home. . N.or?hayo I any moro intention of ever
abandoning.my opposition to nil ifteir nbonii
nable deeds and principles, tl??? I should have
of letting off n scoundrel who lind violated tho
_san.ctity of. i})y..horao. To acquiesce in tho
Tesu.lts of* this war, ns they pow stand, is to
give up thc land of our birth to tho raviges of ?
thc funntio, ?nd tho foot of tho spotlor I Is to
turn our bick upon tho graves of our a ri cas
tors, nnd to hedonia a traitor to ovory: princi
pio that justly bears tho name of liborty I
Acquiesce in this abominable, thia, ncgroized
despotism ! God Almighty forbid it ! Sooner
may thc land bo divested of its human popu
lation} nnd become tho homo only pf the cocka
trice, tho owl and tho bittern ! . Sooner all
this wild waste, with tho sublimo prayor hov
ering nbovo tho desolation, tl n.t. God would
repeoplo it with a rnoo of mon moro worthy of
the fair inheritance than wo (mould bo if we
V
did acquiesce in this despotism I To acqui
esce, fellow-citizens, is to consent that the'
White laboring mau should bc brought dowe,
to an equality with tho negro. That is wlr.it
it means. Aud it means inore. ; it m tan s that
the white laboring man shall be taxed to death
to feed and clotho his newly ehViatencd blnck
brothers, .iu idloncss. Tho expenses of the
negroes' bureau for tho current year will not
bu a tuill nuder fifteen millions of dollars!
And what is this negro bureau! Why it is
?fniply the iio.<?ro'? ?iew liinstPi" Von have
sulfured tho-nogro to be taken from bis lawful
master, and giveu to a bureau of Yankees,
spiritualists, free lovers, hutt fanatical vaga
bonds generally. Practically the negro is not
us froo under thc control of thc bureau as he
was under thc control ol' his lawful muster.
Tho meat difference in his condition is, that
formerly he supported himself, and now you
have to support him and the horde of official
scoundrels who are appointed to take charge
of him. Morally, ana physically, poor Cullie
is n thousand fold worse oiT than bc was be
fore. Indeed, before, bc was tho best off of
any negro nu the face of'tho earth. Now he
is" thc worst. He is perishing nt thc rate of
fifteen per cent. annually-, I Thc poor creature
Iltis been freed to death. Why will not the
wretches, who have compassed his ruin, nud
thc ruin of 0Uf 60U"try, inflict the same bles
sing upon themselves '( Why do such men as
Thad. Stevens, Charles Suinnrr, Pen. Wade,

its live? Wo will not seek to fathom thc
mysteries of divine Providence : ??
"If stormi* nml earthquake's bron it not lloaren'?

Why tlicn a Uorgia or a Catnlbie."
Lot them live; but let us reserve the eter
nal right to despise and denounce them. In
proportion as wc love our country wo must
talco care that thc bloody, the brutal, the.des
potic deeds of tho Abolition war, arc not per
mitted to be precedents for the future. All that
lias been done tn this new march of despotism,
must be undone. To say. that we cannot un
wind this thread of despotism.is to say that
L>ur counny can hevoruu ni? ..??u ?"nv

men mus?, sit down content to be only the

Not yotl, fellow-citzens ; for if there were a
chop of such craven blood in your veins, you
would not have done inc thc honor of this too
Hattering demonstration. Your presence herc
is proof that, in your political principles, you
ire white men, and that you aro determined
that the Government shall be preserved "for
the' benefit of white men and their posterity
forever." Your presence herc is proof that
you will stand for the VJ ti ?Oil as it was, and for
tl)C Constitution ns it was, before either was
tinkered by the traitorous hand of Black Re
publicanism. Thc Union our fathers made
'"hat is your plat form, and it is mino. We stood
together upon this platform during thc war
in opposition to tl o Abolition traitors who
were spoking lo overthrow lhegre.it American
principle ot consent, and to establish the old
despotic European principle of ? fore? H Wo
!iro Democrats of the same school ns ...ic wise
mid patriotic founders of our Government.
Wc, feffow-oitxons, arc Democrats without the
Black Republican improvements. During
tho whole of that black and bloody time be
tween thc. years of 1801 and 1800, wo stood
upon precisely the same platform of principles
tho Doinooratie party had stood upon all thc
way from 17i>8, to 1800. If others got offthat
platform we did not. If Jefferson and tho foun
ders of the Union were right wc w?re right. If
the immortal platform of prioiplcsknown ns thc
Kentucky mid Virginia Resolutions, on which
the Democratic party was brought into exis
tence, were right in 1798, they were right,
in 1800. They aro right now, and they will
bc right forever. They involve ho funda
mental orgftn?o principles of our Government
If thoy havo been overthrown, their overthrow
is n crime, and wo must treat it as a crime.
To aquiesce in n crime is to bc n party to it af
ter the fact. If we aro honest in wishing tho
Union our fathers made restored, WQ must re
turn to the principio on which our fathers
hosed it. The Democratic temple of self Gov
ernment and liberty can novcr bo modo (o
stnqd upon tho foundntion of Block Ropubli
oan despotism. And ovcry Blaok Republican
stone or plank putin thc foundation for tim
Democratic edifice will boasouroo.of weak
ness and danger. We havo seen some strange
campaigns We hnvcsovcral timessoena queer
looking nag brought on to the political course
with a Domorniic body and Black Republican
head and tail, but' wo- have never known ?
great rnco to bo won by suoh an animnl. iWe.
probably never, wjil. I bay this; not ffarh arty
ndpiiration of moro porty names, hut fron> a
profound conviction of tho virtues of Btemo
orutio principles^ Jf tho Republican party
should change its revolutionary oharftcter and
adopt Democratic principle.*, I should folio*
t?io principle? whatever name they bore. On
the other hand, should the Democratic part/
swing off from its principles I should not fol*
low it. I am not one who would accept mer?
party .success by the Sacrifice of thc principles
of Democratic liberty. Success on such ground
is tho most ruinous defeat. .Tl-ut motto of
shallow politicians, that " half if loaf is better
than no bread," docs well enough for beggar?
and mendicants, but it is a shame in tho mouth -
of a statesman. Liberty is not ft quality } it is
ono-mid indivisible. It is Uko virtoo, and
cannot be halved and quartered and ?nutch/vl
nt und scattered about in fragments. It must'
stand or fail, ns a whole. Tho man who ia
willing to noccpt half a loaf of liberty deserves
never to bc freo. If thc immortal principle
did exist in halves, then I am for fighting for
both halves at once, and for never gi Ving up the
conflict until we ate either dead or victorious. -
Xow, fcllow-citzciiF, let our simple platform '
continue to be : Thc Union ! our fathers mndo
thc Union ns it was ! the glorious old UnioiT?*
thc Union without one of those Black Repub
lican improvements 1 it will take time to Work
our torn and bleeding country all thc wny baok
to that glorious first estate, but if we nre
faithful wc shall reach it. At any rate, that
must bc our platform. On no other cnn the
Domocrntio party ever be united nnd victori
ous. The man who talks of acquiescing in any
part of this Blank Republ ionn revolution is
\ traitor to Deuioernoy and liberty, nnd is
llrcndy half way over to Thad. Stevens and
lohn Brown. Let not the craven wretch call
himself n Democrat, but let him nt least hnvo

Revenue Stamps
Wc publish the following from tho "Now
?ork Herald," of the 20th ult., which settles
.li jUcstion whether or not it is necoessnry to
iflix a stamp on all receipts of money-^over
wenty dollars. Thc case was tried before tho
United States District Court, New York,
L.SSUJNU ???.^<LPr?sidii?R--- .._
PttOP?R STAMPS.
Thc United Stales rs. Daniel P. Peters.
This was an action under the Internal Revenue
aw of 30th June, 1864. The defendant, pro
motor of a hotel on Broadway, corner of twen
y-first street, was charged with having at s?v
irai times issued seven separate receipts for
he payment of money, without affixing the
iccessary revenue stamp. A witness testified
hat the receipts woro accepted by him under
irotcst, but that Mr. Peters said he would bo
lauincd if he would put on any stamp or pay
my money to support thc Lincoln Govern
nent.
The defence was that defendant hud no in
put to evade the law, and it was put on tcsti
notiy that Mi:. Peters was in thc habit of
ceeping stamps on hnnd, but it was not shown
lint he ever made usc of thom.
* The jury rendered a verdict for tho Gov
ironient in $1,400, the full amount of penal
ies in seven oases in which tho defendant
vas charged with .having evaded thc law.
KdT Tho " Memphis Avalanche " makes
onie wholesome suggestions to tho people of

is follows :
"There is but ono remedy for the South,
o far as We can seo. * It is for us* to begin to
