He said he would be faithless to his trust ir, lor the last time, he did not thaalc the society lor kindnesses during the many years lie had presided over it. He then went ou In a humorous strain, which several times received the applause of tho assemblage, to show how, as physiologists ailtrin, seven years haviug pussed Uy during Ins career among them, lie had not expended every drop or his blood and the last fibre of lit* body lu their service. But hla pastor was always pleaching resignation, and he supposed lie was obliged to submit. He then spoke of the degradation in which New vork oity had been plunged by the corrupt ring that had ruled it, and how within the suort space of six weeks it had be<-u purified. If the Puritan Fathers had got into i heir hunds public plunderers like those wo had they would have luuged tlieni as suredly. They had had other notions of law than ours. There was no gallows In tue world at the lime of the first murder, bill there was a mark put upon the murderer by which all men should know hiui, and there was now a mark put upon Hie plunderers of this city by which, no matter what part of the world tiiev might go to, they should be known. Their photographs, as (Itey ap peared in our weekly papers, wero gone over iliar vis; the world and the familiar visages of these men would everywhere be recognizee.

They brought ttietr prejudices over here with them aud their superstition-'. The devil was everywhere, they thought. We m New York kuow that Buoh is not the case. But thev be lieved that the devil's emissaries were abroad aud hence the abuses to which witches were subjected.

Hiicteiu Jtouiaii times the funnly was the .state-as tne family was so was the state. Now it is the i individual, unr fathers, as the builders, nad as wise ideas as to the machinery of govcriuneut as any men who ever lived. Look at our hisiirnrions all over the country. They are New Kngland institutions, lltey were flrst tried in New Knglatid. aud then scattered abroad, so ih.it the whole politioui machtue or North America to-day owes Its origin to New Kngland. To New Kngland also belongs the doctrine ot State rights. They were jealous communities those, in the early times. This wide sweep ioi country must have some Joints where to give way, and these joints are the .state lines. But 1 do not mean by state rights stuie s..v ere guty. Wheii.ttiererore.lt Is said that Viriririla Is the mother of state rights, it. is lorirotten thai this is a Southern idea, because it belongs to New Kuir laud. Did not Calhoun and others of tno leading Southern men get their education in New Kugiuud? Our lathers believed in public hentlmcut ami brought up a people who had to act accordingly, in the old country the state owned the Church: here the Church owned the State. The first thing in a new town used to be a church, and the inhabitants or the magistrates would not mink ot doing anything without consult. Ing the pastor. The ministers then preached po't tics lu tno puiptt and taught the people mo rality In politics, as well as in all other re lations or lite. They prayed to the Father and lor the fatherland. Communities are like Individuals? they get over Indiscretions. The rebound in tho community Is like the rebound in the life of an in dividual. It was public seniiment that guided Now Kngland. li is in this public sentiment thai re publics are superior to monarchies. It, was this that killed slavery; lor wlieu New Kngland is moused It stays aroused until ihe public seiuinient Is gratified. It was in one of these paroxysms during the last few months that the dragon wlih its hun dred heads was killed in this city. New Kngland had a bright idea of justice between man aud man. and this permeates wherever tne Purltun spirit is to be found. There will never again be so bad a stale of affairs in New York us we have recently secu and this ren-rming spirit will spread rroni city to city all over the country.
