THE CELEBRATION AT TAMMANY HALL
The Young Mems Union Democratic Club held
their celebration as q grand mass meeting, at Tam
many Hall. The building was brilliantly illuminated
from basement to garnet, while from the windows and
front of the house banners were displayed in great
profusion covered with patriotic sentiments and in
scrptons intended to inspire and invgorate the
sembled Democracy. The hall itself was decorated
for the occasion with the banners of the Club the in
sigma of the various States, and large number of
American and other flags. At an early hour the room
was ronged and precisely at the appointed hour the
exercises were commenced by the band in attendance.
When the music was got along with, Mr.. John Coch-
rane called the meeting to ORDER and made few pre-
limnary remarks, after which the President of the
Club, Mr.. Spencer A. Cone, introduced General John
A. Qutnan Of Mississippi, who made very spirited
and energetic speech. He pointed out at some length
the peculiar points wherein the Democratic party diff
fers from the other factions of the day. 1t is he said
stable and reliable unmoved from year to year by the
throes of party violence il stands like rock faithful
to principle, and even faithful to the best interests
of the people. He then gave bis attention to the
name American false and invalid. Said he, " deny

modern faction, to take from ms the name OF Amer

the old guard which has stood round the tree OF liberty
since it first was planted" His denuncatlons of the
friends of " Sam" were particularly pointed and en-
phatic. He himself he remarked, was one of the

too raised another issue--the Slavery question:
and although at the North this question has
been much misunderstood, be had no doubt the
Northern Democratic party will do full justice to the
rights of myself and my constituents The slayehod-
ing Democrats have been the trest friends OF the
laboring man; the working men of the country have
had struggle for their rights and their enlarged
privileges in which the Southern Democrats have not
stood by them. And what il Slavery When, nearly
three centuries ago. the Almighty, in his infinite wis
dom, opened this country for the home OF Europeans
the white Caucasian race, simultaneous decree OF
Providence introduced Slavery into parts OF the land
your State among others. Liberty IL the natural
state of the Caucasian people, it l. their character,
nstiled into them by the Almighty; they want liberty,
and they will have it. On the other side we see
people inferior in every respect, incapable OF taking
care of themselves if left alone but made much hap
pier by being cared for by the superior intellect OF the
white man. In Slavery they are in their proper
place they are better off thus; speak from personal
experience. If thought that my negroes would BE-
happier as free men, upon the honor of man, l
would emancipate every slave l own; but believe
that my duty TO you, my duty To my country a. wen

few parting words and yielded to the next speaker,

spoke in substance as follows:
