Origin of Tammany Hall.

We copy from The n Y. EUening Post the fol-
lowing history of the organization of the society from
which this arfamed building derives its name 'The
Tammany Society was organized in 1889, by Will
liam Mooney; upholSterer, with a number of 9th
citizens OF New York, for the purpose of opposing
the constitution of the United States, (Which bad
then recently been adopted,) on account of what
deemed its federal and aristocratic tendencies.
One of the oathS which its members required TO
take is, that they will sustain State Institutions and
resist consolidation of power in the hands of the
General Government AT first it was not political
organization and it so popular that most persons
of any note or merit belonged 10 it.
The institution took its name from the celebrated
Indian Chief Tammany, and all lis ceremonial no
menclature is adopted from the habits and customs
of the Aborigines 1t has Grand Sachem, and
twelve additional SachemS, after the fashion of the
President and Governors of the thirteen States then
in existence. 1t has Grand Council, of which all
the officers and Sachems are members and the pro-
ceedings of which recorded by a Scribe. The
society dates all lis transactions from two eras, the
discovery of America by Columbus, and its own
foundation. 1t divides the year into seasons-the
season of snow the of blossoms and the sea-
son of fruits. The twelfth day of May is cOmmeno-
rated as its anniversary.

The True Doctrine.

Hon. Stephen A.Dougas of Illinois, while on visit
to Richmond Va. was invited by numbers of citizens
there, partake Of complimentary dinner in token of
their esteem for him Union man, as shown in his
course in Congress, pending the Compromise Bill Mr.
Douglas regrets that his engagements will not afford him
the pleasure to comply He also takes occasion to say:
have long been deeply impressed with the conviction
that the preservation Of federal Union and OF the
rights of the people and the States all depend upon
strict and faithful observance of the constitutions with
all its guarantees and compromises. 1t is sufficient
that the letter of the constitution should be maintained
It's genius and principles must be cherished and sustain
ed in the spirit OF pure patriotism and faternal affection
Our republican institutions only exist so long as they
command the respect and affection OF the people. They
be maintained by force, nor can they survive
amid sectional strife and hostile legislation. The sever
al States must act upon the golden rule which obtains
among all good neiGhbors-each minding his bus-
ness and leaving the others to regulate their own domes
tic affairs in their own way.

l3-In notice of the Christian Anti-Slsveey Con-
vention, published yesterday, stated that E. b.
Crocker, was the same person who was fined $500 by
U. s. Court, one year ago, for "stealng negroes."-
This is an error. He fined for aiding in the escape
Of fugitive slaves, and for preventing Mr.. Norris, of
Kentucky, from recovering property to which he was
legally entitled and which he had visited this State
obtain In the eyes of abotioniss this is no crme
and in the Of Mr. Crocker, he no doubt thought
doing God service. Having paid fully dear for his
philanthropy it is not to be wondered at that he is so
violently opposed to what he terms 'the slave power!

THURSDAY MORNING, NAY 90, 1851.

Our neinhhOr Of the Sentinel always aghts bis feet
like He had prepared set Of resolutions, which
he either forgot afraid to have presented, and
which for aught we know are yet quietly lying on his
mantle piece Failing TO secure by the contention
recognition Of his hobby that devotion the Fugitive
Slave Bill is t2st Of Democracy, he makes virtue OF
necessity and pronounceS the foregoing resolution the
strongest favor Of the Fugitive Slave Law that could
nave been drafted" Well voted for the resolu-
the convention, and approved Of before and ai
its passage, suppose all differences of opinion
between the Statesman and Sentinel queted and
carsmoye along together in harmony .-Statesmaq.
The above calls for one or words of explanation
The editor had been charged with attempting dictate
TO the convention It was said that he had determined
the nomination of Mr. Hendricks and pro-
the endorsement Of the compromise For
that reason we determined not to interfere in any way
with the action of the cOnvenlsass Was not member
and had no consultation with a p6eas the charac-
ter Of the resolutions The committee resolutions
were Messrs. Stewart. Seeth Babcock, o,erstreet,
Jackson, Butler A. Jones, Haas and Demaree all sound
consistent Democrats. The chairman Mr. Stewart,
and Mr. Sleeth. of Shelby, had been members of the
Senate, and in the darkest days Of Free-soilism in
tAar official capacity, had refused yield the storm.
Whilst Auditor Ellis was advocating Free Soism IN
no-thern Indiana and ainting the whole political
mospher with the eluva of Wilmotism these Senator'S
were voting against this miserable bumbug. We were
willing endorse any resolutions which they might
commend In the whole length and breadth Of the State
there two stronger advocates Of the Fugitive
Slave law than these gentlemen We prepared no reso
lutons-nOne were submitted to us-we had no inter-
view with the committee The resolutions were drawn
up by Mr. Stewart and although the editor Of the States
ntimates that they submitted to him for in
speetion and that he approved them, do nst BELIEVE
thar they the production Of his 'woolly headp Mr.
Stewart stated the that he had copied the
resolution the subject Of the compromise measures
from the Sentinel. it being the resolution adopted by
the convention in the first Districts which had cor
daily endorsed before the meeting Of the convention
We have not time to pursue this subject further We
elm say the Editor of the Statesman if he is in favor
of the cardinal doctrines Of the Democratic party
pressed through the action of the Baltimore Convention
in lS4S with the addition Of adherence to the compro
Mise measures, they are, and opposition the repeal
modification of the fugitive slave law then
the same platform.

CHARITY.-If your lot be ever 10 solicit charities
for the needy you will have much more pleasure than
chagrin, YOU will find that you have enriched your
SELF first of ALL in the knowledge of human nature
that you have become versatile in suiing your ap-
proach to all the varying dispositions of men. Some
times, you will feel that no living thing is
man. then in the next hour, you will thank God for
the great soul of goodness youchsafed TO some men,
And finally YOU will think better Of Christians of
every name when you find that kindness does not be-
long to your sect alone, but is found richly in all
And you will have better luck than we have, if you
do not find men, the members Of no church, who
would be patterns of delicate and wise liberay to
multtudes who are in the church.-Henry Ward
Beeeher.

The Thread of Life.
BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON.


We are natural believers. Truth, or the connection
between cause and effect, alone interests We
persuaded that a thread runs through all things: all
worlds are strung on it, as beads: and men, and
events and life, come 10 us, only because of that
thread they pass and repass, only that we may know
the direction and continuity of that line book or
statement which goes TO show that there is no line,
but random and chaos, calamity out of nothing,
prosperity and no account of it, hero born from
fool fool from a hero,-dispiritS us. Seen or un-
seen we believe the tie exists Talent makes coun-
terlet ties genius finds the real ones. We hearkeu
10 the man of science, because anticipate The
sequence of natural phenomena which he uncovers.
We love whatever afiFms, connects, preserves; and
dislike wha; scatters or pulls down. One man ap-
pears whose nature is TO all mems eyes conserving
and constructive: his presence suppOses we-order
ed society," agriculture, trade, large Institutions and
empire IL these did not exist, they would begin TO
exist through his endeavOrs. Therefore, he cheers
and comforts men, who feel all this in him very
readily. The nonconformist and the rebel say all
ranner of unanswerable things against the existing
republic but discover 10 sense no plan OF house
or state of their own Therefore, though the town,
and state and way Of living, which our counsellor
contemplated, might be ayery modest or musty pros
perty, yet men rightly go for him, and reject the re-
former, so long as he only with axe and crow
bar.
