More Noise and Confusion. Gen. Cass
a Getting into Company.
The New York Herald Of "Wednesday con-
tains an account Of the reception of Gen. CAss
at Tammany Hall, and the sayings and doings
on that occasion. As usual he was unfortunate
in encountering "noisc and confuson'--the
grand flourish of his peroration being nipped off
by the He,'aid's reporter thus
"And so, my friends, hope we will continue
till all human institutions have fulfilled their des-
tiny-tiil that period when -- The conclu-
ding part of the sentence did not reach our re-
porter.IH
The whole affair was doubtless an impromptu
unexpected on the part Of Gen. CAss and the
Tammanyites and unconnected with the aspi
ratons of The individual, or the capital to be
made for the party--in short one of those re-
;narkabe condolences" OF which the career OF
public characters is so full General c.. hap
pened to stop day in New York--lhe com
mittee happened to hear of it--and the two
bodies (the Generals and the b'hoys) happened
thus accidentally to come in contact and these
proceedings were the result.
2 But the most curious part of the affair is the
character of the company the gentleman afore-
sud found himself environed by, when he ac-
cepted the invitation-for the first fiddles were
played by Capt. RYNDERs, NIKE WALSH and the
Philadelphia fremen--whie the closing portion
of his anal speech returning thanks was devoted
to a glowing eulogum on the New York Herald.
and, as a pendent to it, the press of New York
generally.
To prove that we give the proceedings cor
rectly, we subjoin a portion of the Heralds
account. After giving an outline of bis first
speech, the report goes on to say:
This speech was received with great deal OF
enthusiasm; and as soon as General Cass had
concluded, the Philadelphia firemen, with then
band, headed by Capt Rynders, master of the
ceremonies, entered the hall. The firemen
marched around the room, preceded by the band
playing Hail Co oumbia, until they came to the
platform where General Cass was standing. The
General descended aud shook hands with each
of them, and cordially returned the compliment
which they paid him. When this was done
three cheers for the Philadelphia fremen were
called for and given heartily, as well as three

FOR the New York fremen, the two latter having
been proposed by the Philadelphia iiremen--
The band then played Yankee Doodle, and the
Philadelphia fircmen filed off.
The Hon. Michael Walsh was then called
upon fora speech, and in response delivered a
few rem arks, which were enthusiastically re-
ceived by the meeting.
Nobody else but MIKE WALSH seems to have
spoken: but the General responded to him, and
closed with this compliment to the New York
Press
4And now let me do another act of Justice
Let me thank the press Of New York for all that
it has done in bringing about settlement of
that dangerous question. Let me thank the New
York Herald applause, and do it with plea

that journal throughout the crisis. Three cheers
for the New York Herald were here proposed
and unanimously given. | do this with the
more pleasure for it is not paper attached to
our party; but it is, nevertheless, paper with
an American heart. great applause and one
that has supported the country in the day of its
trouble and in the hour of its pending msfor-

terizes its columns And let me refer also to
the Journal Of Commerce, [applausel which like
wise took distinguished position on this great
question, and to thank it for what it has said and
done towards the adjustment of the slavery
question. MIR. Cass also paid compliment to
the Globe and concluded by saying, that through
out the country this feeling towards the New
York press is the same"

deprecated very strongly what they denominate
the premature agitation of the Presidential

Oh, no certainly not.
The definition of "a patriot" as "a man who
wanted place" is entirely obsolete, and cannot
apply to any of these national politicians or their
bottle holders. Still the proceedings rs detailed
in that patriotic print the Herald, are decidedly
curious, if not instructive.
Mr.. FooTE could not have been in company,
for no speech is reported as having been made
by him at tic meeting: ard he does speak-oc-
casionally.
