Some Samples of Yankee Faulting.
The great Loyal
Langue meeting in New York, a full report of which has been put in our hands by a friend, was the richest thing of the season.
Bancroft, and
Raymond.
and
Van Buren, of course went over the old track, but the purveyors of the mob had gotten up a fresh thing or two to tickle the mob's palate.
The
Mayor of
Baltimore,
a Mr. Chapman, brought that down trodden city, harnessed to the triumphal car of the
Yankee, and aired her degradation before the admiring
Unionists in a violently loyal speech.
He was welcomed by a loafer or two with "Butly for
Baltimore:"
He could not express to them the gratification it afforded him, when, sitting in his place in the Common Council of the city of
Baltimore, it was announced that the
Loyal League of New York had invited the
Mayor and Common Council of
Baltimore to meet with them in New York to aid and sustain the cause of our common Government and country.
[Applause.] It came to him as a voice from the
North.
through representatives of the
North, inviting the
Union men of
Baltimore, where the blood of patriot was first shed, while they were proceeding to the defence of the
National capital, to unite in expressing devotion to that country which they all loved, and to sustain the
Government in its effort to put down those who had risen in arms against it [Applause.] He came there to say to his fellow-citizens of New York, "
Baltimore is true to the
Union.
[Great applause]
Maryland is true to the
Union and the
Government" [Great applause,]
Maryland was true, he said, without
conditions--true to the utmost she had to sacrifice — the wealth of her citizens and their lives, if needed, in support of the
Government; and if she had any institutions standing in the way of the success of this blessed free Government of ours, she was willing to let them go rather than that it should be considered [Great applause-three checks for gallant
Maryland.] They had no Copperheads in
Baltimore.
[Laughter] The people there were either for or against the
Government — those who were for it were for it unconditionally, and those who were against it were against it unconditionally.
[Laughter.] He had also heard that there had been talk of compromise--
compromise-compromise with what?
Why, the
Confederates claimed
Maryland, and
Kentucky, and
Tennessee, and would these compromisers give over the Union-loving men of those States--the men who had suffered, were now suffering, and were willing to continue to suffer for the
Union, if suffering was needed — would they give over those men to the rebels?
[Cries of "No, it can't be done," and applause.] Put the rebellion down — even if it took five, or ten, or fifteen years to do it — put it down, [Great applause.] The speaker concluded, amid loud cheering, with the well-known poem commencing, "bail on, oh, ship of state!"
Mr. James Evans, a fresh Englishmen just over, was introduced, who established himself in their good graces by stating that he had eaten some of the free bread they sent in the ship
George Griswold, and had himself been the man to offer resolutions at a meeting of English working men supporting
Lincoln's Administration.
He could say to the
American people — to those fighting to sustain their Government — that the operatives of
England were with them, heart and soul.
[Great applause.] It was not the working people who favored fitting out Alabamas — it was the mill lords and the axis tourney; the people were with the
American Government, would like to live under it work for its support, and die for it if need be. [Great applause, and cries of "You are welcome here."] They had, he said, forty thousand men in
Lancashire unemployed, and among them even chaplains had been sent to teach them that the
South was in the right; but they could not be made to believe it, and were with the
Government of
America.
[Great applause] If we wanted the services of these men, as workmen and artisans in this country, we need not send out any more flour; only send empty ships over for them, and they would come here and work for their living, and be thankful for the privilege.
Great applause] There were no Copperheads there, he could assure them--[laughter] --among the operatives, but men who were strongly in favor of the legitimate Government of the
United States.
[Great applause]
He was followed by
Daniel S. Dickinson, who took a cut at the
English Government for recognizing the
Confederates as belligerents, and said:
‘
We had expected nothing from the wily and scheming
Emperor of the
French; but we did think that
Great Britain would, at least, not be against us, and would be neutral in fact as well as in word.
But the proclamation of
England came, and we found that we were made the equal of a parcel of thieves and rebels.
That our Government, an acknowledged first Power in the world, was considered on the same footing with his army of renegades, who had no more Government than
John Brown had, than the forty thieves had. [Laughter.]
’
Rev. Dr. Hitchcock did not think the women of the
North were doing their duty, for--
He had been told the difference between the women of the North and South was that they of the
North with to have their husbands and sons remain at home, while the women of the
South kicked their husbands and sons from their door steps.
Let us have no hand but a malled hand for traitors, no smile for them but the smile of scorn.
[Applause]
Gen. Scott, wrapped in the
American flag, was one of the attractions of the evening.
Here is the way that trick was done:
The chilly air perceptibly affected the
General, and he desired a gentleman near him to bring him a shawl.
None being at hand, a large-sized American flag was handed out from the window, and some quick witted friend wrapped it closely round and about the shoulders and limbs of the veteran who had so often upheld it on the battle-field, while the crowd below, struck with the happy occurrence, showed their approval of the chosen standard in off repeated cheers.
