Named Entity Results, John Mason

the present day turns up its nose at the New York of fifty years ago, but in nothing except mere numbers does it deserve to be named in the same century. Even that material wealth and power which it so exultingly contrasts with the simplicity and plainness of a former era, are but the products of the wisdom and energy of the leading men of that very era which they so much despise. Where are the Ds Witt Climton and Daniel D. Tompkins among their statesmen. Where is the Bishop Robert or Dr. John Mason among their clergymen? Where are the Alexander Hamilton, the Robert Emmetts, the Aaron Buers, the Kents, the Van Nesses, Van Rensellaers, Grosvenor, Livingston, Hoffman, &c., at their bars? Where is their Robert Fulton? These are the men who once gave tone and character to New York society, and who laid the foundation of that Alps of greatness on which the pigmies of the present day stride with such a conceited smirk, and look down with so many lofty airs upon better people than themse

The President has regarded the Exequatur given to the Consuls of foreign States by the United States prior to the establishment of the Southern Confederacy as valid, upon the ground that the Federal Government was then the constitutional agent of the Southern States, and that "an act done by an agent while duly authorized continues to bind the principle after the revocation of the agent's authority." This will be readily concurred in even by those who disliked to see received here agents of Governments which persisted under circums
