SuclErY--EX-GOvLNH0K He
rrEr-Thc Tammany Society of Ne" York
celebrated the Fourth OF July at Tamrnany
Hall. Ex-Governor Hebert was present,
saws the n. O Crescent, and made a speech.
A Southern planter among the Freesoilers,
speech making and toastirg, is something I'M
usual. Tammany society is now governed
by the F~reesoil, Van Buren, portion Of the
Democratic party. The sturdy Democrats,
the fast friends of the South, Dickinson.
Bronson, O'Connor and others, were removed
from Office and driven out of 1amuany to
make way for such Freesoilers as Cochrane,
Redfeld. Shepherd and Rynders. The Ias-
ter spirit is John Van Buren,. OF course FIX
Governor Hebert will ,upportthe Democratic
ticket; yet we are much surprised that he
should be found in such company! In the
course of his speech he let's off the following:
1t was said that Louisiana would not vote
for Buchanan. They had at the South two
kinds of opinions-the silent and the betting
opinions. CLaushter.) He had a betting
opinion on that point, He was Il Sugar plan
ter, and having some sugar left; ne would bet
any reasonable amount OF hogsheads on it
and it was first rate sugar (laughter) against
an equal value Of Yankee shoes, that he
wanted for his negroes, that the State OF
Louisiana would give for Buchanan and Breck-
enridge a majority Of from $500 to 5000.
The representation of the coat OF arms OF his
State was a pelican feeding its young from
its own bosom. They had just passed a reg
istry law in Louisiana aud that State under
the operation OF thisllaw wasNursing the lar
gest number Of young Democrats that were
ever seen there. She would turn them out
in great numbers on the first day Of Novem-
Der next, and they woald roll up in Louisiana
a majority of 5000 for the Democratic ticket.
lApplause.)
We think if he has a good crop, his friends
| here will save him the trouble OF selling, If
he wishes to venture it on 5000, or even on
any ma ority for Buchanan.
He saws that the State under the opera
| ton Of the registry law was nursing the
largest number OF young Democrats that
were ever seen there" That the managers
| here contemplated committing frauds in the
| registration OF illegal voters, is not surprising.
| But it is rather surprising that an ex-Gover-
| nor of the State cannot let off a Fourth Of
| July speech without telling tales out OF school.
| We all know that there are ballot box stuff
fers here as we'll as in California. A party
| that ~iustifes and defends the P!aqueuine
frauds, will not hesitate in dsvising and put
ting into operation schemes to obtain the
registration OF illegal voters. This "the iaygea
| number Of young Democrats," is worth some
attention. Are they attended to by the dry
nurse or wet nurse of the faithful By our
sedate friend on Customhouse street, or the
gallant representative Of Young South on
Camp street! Who has charge Of the bant-
iings!
OF course, this meeting Of Democratic
! freesoilers got into a row. The report does
not say what became of the Ex-Governor
We hope he escaped safe and sound, and that
he will have the good sense never to be seen
again cheek .by-jowl with the notorious Capt
Rynders.
