ST. IAMMAN1 ON DOU0LAS,
The Tammany Society celebrated
Independence Day, as usual. An ora
ton was delivered by Hon. John Coch-
rane, from an abstract of which VIC
quote the following:
The Fundamental doctrine Of the
Democratic party had always been,
that all power came from the people,
and that it shall remain with them
The party had been found standing in
support Of all the great movements
for the good Of the party, aud, there
fore, its organization must be kept in
tact, for he claimed that party was
necessary to the successful carrying
out Of any great idea, and that with
out organization nothing effective
could be done. He had declared be.
tore that it had always been Demo
cratic doctr;ne.--that Sovereign power
was in the people and of right belong
ed to the people, and while their par
ty organization was threatened with
corruption, he advised them to stand
by that doctrine, and by its representa-
tive, Stephen A. Douglas, who, in &C.
cordance with the ussages Of tho par
,y, had received the regular nonina-
ton for the Presidency Of the United
States. Grcat applause. He (Mr.
Douglas) had recognized that popular
sovereignty to which he had referred,
and he had staked his fortunes upon
the success Of the Democratic par
ty; and therefore, it was their
duty there and then, to declare
him worthy of their support and that
they should continue to support him
until that support should cul'ni"ate in
complete triumph. [Applause.) In
conclusion hc recommended them to
work for one organization, and for
one man, until both should prove sue

When Mr.. Cocl,rane had concluded,
.Joln Kelley came forward, and re-
commended all to work for the harmo.
ny Of the party, and for Stephen A.
Douglas. He was free to say that be.
fore the nomination was made, Mr..
Dou. las was not his choice but now
that he had received the regular nom
ination, he had resolved 10 give him
his hearty support. .s
GEORGIA THUNDER
The Augusta Co,sstitas<ionist, the

the following from a long article in
that journal: g"a ..s:, .,.,.~...
- y We are proud to present
az the National Democratic candidate
for President, the man who fought 8
hunhred successful battles for thu
South, and not one against her &C
credited to US by the Sage Of the Her
mitage---the real author of the com
promise of 1850, and the first man inthe
north who dared to raise his voice fo1
the fugitive slave law. The man who
beat Lincoln in Illinois by the oopulD,
vote. in spite Of abolition guile and
administration hate. The, man who
has sustained alone, a successful con
fict against all the powers of the fed
eral patronage, and in spite OF all
stands the unanimous nominee of tht
National convention. (After, it il
true, its disorganizing elements hat
gone.) The man whose every vot'
and position we are prepared and abl'
to successfully defend.--the orator wht
is the equal Of Webster or Clay ,th'
statesman who has no superior
:. no equal, in all this broad land
The man, the bold honesty of who's

The man with whom Gorgia'
tried, proven and noble statesman
Herschel "; Johnson, has consente.
to risk his political fortunes. = u
