TuE TAMMASr SOCIETY of Seymour Demo.
CRATE, in New York, celebrated yesterday, as Is
their wont, the capture Of New Orleans BY Gen.
Jackson.
We suppose that they made honorable mon
ton Of the fact that Gen. jackson suspended
the liberty of the press In New Orleans that he
kept the city under martial law after the retire
ment of the BritiShi that he arrested Judge
Hull for prosuming to issue writ of habcas
corpus, and that he also enlisted and armed no
groOs for the hght.
Without doubt, these modern Democrats,
who met yesterday, read and dwelt with much
satisfaction upon the following address, dellv- ,
cred TO the colorcd soldiers OF Now Orleans by .
this noble old Roman:
On Sunday, December IS, 1874, IsCo NucJS
Register, Vol. ~ Gen. jackson reviewed the
militia Of tho city of New Orleans, the battalion
commanded by Major blanche, and a part of
~ regiment Of men Of color. Being drawn up
on their respective parades, the following sd-
dresses wero read to them by Mr.. Livingston,
one of his aids
i've omit the address 10 the white soldiers.
To THE MIN OF COLOR.
SOLDIERS: From the shores Of Mobile, col
leCted you TO arms. invited you TO share in
the porils and to divide the glory Of your white
countrymon. l expected much from you, for l

Soldiers, the President Of the United States

tiyeS of the American nation shall applaud

lakes'' but the brave arc united, and If he finds

By command. THOMAS L. BUTLER,
Aid-de-Camp.
WE OBSERVE that the New York Express
takes the same view respecting the exclusion
of New England from the Union that is taken
by tho Chicago 7Tmes. 1t Is q sorry sight to
see nativo-born New Highlander turn against
his own land; but such is the sorcery Of slavery
over the minds OF men. 1t Is a curious dcvc-
opcment, and affords matter for reelection.
Men love power, and slavery gives power, ire
eponsible power, over its victims, and political
power to it's RdherentS, and many people fail
10 see that the days OF that Institution arc num-
bered; and those Of its advocates who do see
1t, hope to prolong Its existence, in order to
promote their own selfish ends.
Gov. SEYMOUR, speaking Of arbitrary arrests,
snys: "a shall not inquire what rights States in
rebellion have forfeited, but deny that this re-
bollion can suspend single right Of the citizens
of loyal States. I dsnounce the doctrine that
civil war in the southtG away from the loyal
North the benefits Of one principle Of civil lib
Crty."
GEO. P. KANE, marshal Of Baltimore, who
was bdStlsd at Fort Warren last summer, dur
ing the early days OF the rebellion and the
troublous times in Baltimore, wrote to Bradley
T. johnson, a traitor at Frederick, Maryland
as follows:
"Thank you for your offer. Bring your mer
by the first train, and we will arrange with the
railroad afterward. Send expresses over tn,
mountains and valleys Of Maryland and Vir
ginia for the rifemen TO come without delay
Fresh hordes will be down on US tomorrow
We will whip them or die.
GEO. P. KANE"
johnson Immediately placarded the above a
Frederick, with tho addition
IAN men who will 60 with me will repor
themselves as soon as possible, providing them
selves with such arms and accoutrements a
they can. Double-barreled shot guns and buck
shot arc efncient"
According to the notions Of the man VIII
now occupies the chair of the chief magIstrat
Of the Empire State, these men could not b
arrested; they must first be indicted. Thong
they were laborlng might and main, as muc
az JEFF Davis, to overthrow the Government
and the Union, yet they were entitled to run
large, and do all the mischief in their power
til the grand jury should Gse ht to indlet theI
for treason. This Is the doctrine of Horati
Seymour, How is the rebellion to be put dowI
ifsuch doctrines are to prevail in the North
IT 10 now said that there are fourteen vessel
