The E6sef Of the Ts~~sny Hal Meeting in Washington
The Great National Questie~ Ia, Rghts and Post
tton Of the South, &C., &C.. &c.
wrote you yesterday. The Herald Of the 10th
tains IN account Of the meeting st Tammany Hall
The glory Of Old TammaDy has, indeed departed Her
moral power gone. The democracy shorn Of their
strength They now conisnsuble Faction, cor
ruption and the love Of power for the sake Of spos
and plundsr have done their work The great days Of
old Tammany are passed. She Is ruled by men
without character, and without power influence
Those who love the Union and who have looked for
ward cheery to the great gathering the old wigwsm
and prophesed that there and thsn the fell spirit of
free soilisn and sbolitionism would be rebuked and
put down wefully disappointed The result Of that
meeting las astonished many here. The effect Of 1t
through the South will be bad far better would 1t have
Seen that the meeting had been called or held
Throughout the Southern States the will
be dhgusted with their brethren in New York What
matters IT, how much is talked about the right feeling
IN the North OF the democscy OF New York towards
Southern rights when the lie il given to suoh senti-
nents Of justness or right at such meetings The de-
mccracy Of New York pssied they crouching at
the feet Of free sellers sboteaiss and free negroes
The first resolution Is lie in part for in less than
ak months the probability is that thirteen at least
Of the Southern States will have seeded from the
Union, ana VIII be fully prepared to resist successfully
any attempt 10 put them down c,srce them back
into the Union.
The second resolution is extremely lsushabe; its
application being towards zone eight millions OF
Southern people and passed Tenn many Hall audience
as the instigstion Of furdy Ming Rsnd-rs and shsp
ard, three turned out officers, and one Ex United
States District Attorney.
The third is very good, but nothing II has
psned Northern meetings, thousand times before
The four th is foolish California will not be admit
ted unlees save State is admitted at the time,
or the question Of slavery is first disposed Of This
shree last resolutions offensive TO Southern
men, than bad they embodied the wimot proviso.
They show such cowsIdly mixture Of fear and want
Of principle, that they received with contempt
snd scorn BY every Southern member In WASH.
ington. And then the speeches They speak for
themselves and need no comment. They Of less
Importance than rowdy bar r.aton. There
70 no hope Of any action from that party or
politicians The mass of men in the North, withou.
reference to party must meet this question II they
do not they deserve the that must fall upon the
country and themselves Individually and collectively
The North asleep. They ignorant OF xhs. the
South wants and what they viii have II the Union is
to be kept together.
Since writing the above, attention has bsen
called to advertisement In the H-raia siyued by
well known democrats men Of character and respect
