SPEECH OF CHAS. H. DE WOLFE.
Dr. Chas. H. De Wolfe, an Israelite, then gave his views on the Sunday question. Notwithstanding, he said, the stigma that will be thrown on this meeting to-night, notwithstanding the odium that will be cast upon you who listen and upon us who speak, I feel proud at standing before this vast sea of upturned faces, and proud that I have the honor to appear before so unexceptionable an assemblage in a cause whose justice and purity none but a fanatic could say aught against. Let interested parties do what they can; the tide has been taken at the flood, and will lead on to an entire and perfect success. (Cheers, "it will; it will.") He could not but say with the Bard of Avon, "There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at its height, leads on to fortune." He could give his political and religious creed in a few words, and he requested that, as Captain Cuttle says, they would make a note of it. Bound to no party,
To no sect confined;
