AT half past 70, the Democratic Republican Committee,
escorting General Cass entered Iammany HAL. amid amid
the arrival Of the distinguished senator We never saw
the General looking BETTER nor in finer spirits, and his
step quick and elastic II was thirty years
ago. Upon entering Tammany Hall, the large room was
nearly filed to Overlooking, and nine hearty cheers well
coined our visitor The General was conducted TO- the
ESQ., chairman of the Democratic Republican Committee,
the democrats othe city After the process OF shak
hands gone through, being called on, General Cass
spoke in substance as follows:
He said the country had passed through crisis OF
unexampled difficulty and danger The eyes OF every
friend to- liberty in America, as well as IN Europe, were
hope, to the issue. Many heart in Europe throbbed
with hope TO the great experiment OF liberty here fail
They knew that if it failed here now, centuries might
elapse before the experiment OF mans capacity to govern
himself would be tried again, with any reasonable pros
pect Of success. Happily, the chief danger was now
passed The questions which had SO ieaTiuiy agated
the country settled Great men at Washington had
laboTed assduousy TO bring about settlement which
would be satisfactory TO both great sections OF the country
But is was truly to The people 70 whom the esi men. o.
their voices heard They had spoken to the stormy
waves OF controversy and agitation Peace be stil"-
and they still Our difficulties had been compromised
Some objected 10 the word compromised but the const-
tuition originated in compromise ALI lite was compro.
mise. Man himself is compromise from the cradle to
the NO could get along IN VINO
unaeraby position, and required everybody TO come to
him
He congratulated the democratic party the fair pros
pects which they enjoyed, and that all its members
now occupied the same national platform national
platform OF principles the only one on which they
could stand That was the platform on which they had
conquered heretofore and standing that now, II
the platform which they would triumph hereafter He
had known Tammany Hall forty years ago. Then, as
now, II was occupied by national party.
He would give ons word OF advice now TO his united
democratic friends: that 10 bury the memory OF all
differences Let all feuds be forgotten Make allu-
sons to the past, for the sake OF irritating evvng past
anmostes think only OF the present and the future.
Ali who are willing 10 come on your platform and unite
with YOU receive them II they true, retain them
il false then them His remarks frequently
interrupted by the loud cheers OF the audience and when
he had concluded, the fine band OF company Of Phila-
delpha fremen struck up; after which the General being
again called again spoke on the subject OF the recent
Compromise bills He complimented Messrs. Clay. Web
ster, Foote-the Herald, Journal OF Commerce, and
Globe He was very emphatic in his encomiums the
two former and his remarks in relation TO them
Enthusiastically cheered by democratic friends OF the
Globe he said had done good service and that its
was approved throughout the country The Hall
ly full and il all the people who al intervals there had
been all present the time the would
have contained them The General, accompanied by a
large procession returned 10 his quarters at the Irving
House about 2, p. m.
Considering that the notice given OF the Generals ARR.
val here, and his proposed reception, only few
hours previous TO the meeting at Tammany Hall, was
certainly very large, and most gratifying to all
present
