The Meeting al Iammany HAL The Syracuse Rescue
| The meeting OF the democracy al Tammany Hall last
evening was one which reminded forcbly OF those
enlhu gatherings which, in The palmy days of the
party were so universally The precursors of victory In
point OF spirit numbers il was equal 10 the best of
them, while, from the fact that il afforded an opporu-
nty OF exchanging congratulations upon the numerous
and brilliant democratic victories which have recently
been achieved in different quarters, it an occasion of
unusual rejoicing, and one distinguished by the exhibition
oil great unanimlty and good feeling
| main feature, and what, we trust, will become here
after recognised element in the democratic faith.
introduced ~ the resolutions adopted by The meeting
The resolutions. we presume You will publish length
The iourlh, hh, and sixth OF them establish prn
cipe Tor the guidance OF foreign reations--a prnc
pie which, II become portion OF national policy,
will not only place u.s. as ought TO be, the defen
sve against the aggessons OF the despotsms OF Europe
but enable us to extend encouragement, and counte
nance at least to struggling repubcanism in whatever
part OF the world may be found To these resolutions
Mr.. Cory Of Cincinnati, spoke at considerable length.
and with great ability. His remarks, which very
well reported in this mornings Herald, will amply repay
an attentive perusal, and the whole subject is OF such
interest that propose make it the subject of future
comment. "hN ..f. .| .s"' e.
After friends from abroad had been listened TO- the
meeting was addressed by several OF our own dstin
gushed fellow citizens, and adjourned at late hour full
Of ardor and enthusiasm e.
The Syncusan traitors in fair way to be let off
cheap. "1he gentlemen" says the Tribune, $50 long
under examination al Auburn for taking part in the
cue at Syracuse, have been held to bail for a INSIDE
meanor." The decision of Judge Conklin will be found
in the local papers. He very decided, far Tan
guage goes, in supporting the law, but by so
much So as it occurs to in the he takes to
punish its nfracton He holds the accused to bathe
whites in 900 and the blacks in $500 EACH to appear
hart of no nj no
having given bail, 60 their ways IN peace.
So ends the preliminary proceeding in this case
Though il was in evidence that attack, with deadly
weapons made upon the magistrate and his officers
that one or more OF them badly wounded, the pris
custody rescued and their process Issuing By the
way out OF his own cour) entirely defeatedthe Judge
sees nothing in il but simple misdemeanor, and binds
them in light bail, to abide trial which, if it goes
against them, will subject them only TO a trivial punish
ment We are not prone to speak ill OF dgnitares
will we do SO in the present case. Judge Conkn is
doubtless better qualified 10 form opinion to the de-
gree OF respect which is due himself and the court
over which he presides than any else but we must
be permitted TO express doubts whether in The pres
ent instances he has duly considered the magnitude OF the
case before HIM, involving, does, only his own
personal dignity but the majesty of the law the nyoIa
blity OF the constitution and the permanency of the
Union itself. Meanwhile let US say TO our southern
friends, who had right expect better things tina, we
remedy until the Supreme Court OF the United States
decide, as they will be called upon 10 DO what is
and what is not high treason and then their subordnates
who not always remarkable for the soundness Of
their opinions will stand chance of being enght-
ened. .'.. t NJ. M at
The closing feature oil this solemn farce however was
the most picturesque and striking. The Hon. William
III Seward appeared in court, and became bail for each
and every of these gentlemen, black and white and
shaking them by the hand most cordially, invited them
TO his house This piece Of information the Tribune an.
nounces il would the arrival OF Kossuth and bis re
ceplion by the President OF the United States We have
yet received report OF the sayings and dongs at the
banquet which was doubtless given by the ex-governor
10 his part coloed guests but is 10 be hoped tina, one
will soon be LAID before the public We should expect
CLEAN good deal Of information in regard 10 the Tao
tics 10 be brought into play at the ensuing campaign by
the combined forces OF the wings and abolonis- from
the speeches and sentiments elected such an occasion
besides which, the festive literature OF the country would
receive a valuable addition from such source and one
which would be especially edifyng 10 such of our
southern friends still call themselves wings -".
Should we, unfortunately be disappointed in receiving
the sketch alluded To, make the best of it, and
profit all we by what we already know The APP
pearance of the great whg leader very opportune
and altogether, the performance would not have been
complete had the part which he obligngly assumed
at moments notice been left out II pointed the moral
TO the whole farce; and when il is considered that he il
the very type and exempar OF the OF the northern
whig.-tha they identified with him in every thought
and word, and act and guided by him as implicitly as
the needle by the magnetno hereafter need be al
loss TO discriminate between the opponents and the sup
porters OF the fugitive slave bl-no one can fail 10 dis
tngush The enemies OF the Union and the Constitution
