A mass meeting of the Democracy
took place here last evening, at Tam
many Hall. Union square and -Four
teenth street, from Third to Fifth avenue,
was illuminated with calcium lights. A
grand stand fronting Broadway, was
draped with the American flag, on which
was inscribed, "We know no such word
as fail.
Tammany Hall was filled to ovsrAsw.
ing. 1t was splendidly decorated with
flags, trsnsparencies and significant mot
toes. The audience was very large, many
ladies, and on the platform were many
members Of the Democratic party of the
State and city. The meeting was called
to order by Hon. A. Oakley Hall, who
nominated as chairman Hon. Charles
Thsyer, who delivered an address.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Thayer' s
speech, Gen Blair was introduced-his
appearance being signal of the widest
enthusiasm. He said he bore to the
Democrats of New York city greetings
of their brother Democrats Of the West,
who would wiring from their adverssries
victory in November. He favored
generosity and kindness towards the
South. He desired this for the good of
the North as we'll as Of the South. He
had been arraigned for certain express
sicns of his which he simply declared in
effect, that if the reconstruction acts
were in violation of the Constitution, they
were null and void, and should be treated
as such. He then proceeded TO discuss the
reconstruction acts with view of show
ing their unoonstitutionality. He said the
cutlery against himself was contempii-
BILE eleOtionserpg pFetense. If elected
be would neither have the disposition or
power to inaugurate revolutionary
policy. In the event of the election Of
the Democratic candidates, he said the
governments established under the re-
construction laws of Congress would
perish themselves. Abiding to the
assertion that General Grant had no
policy, be said he did have a
policy, and that vas, if an oppor
tunity offered, TO establish q perpetual
dictstorial power. His policy would be
that Of Cromwell and Napoleon. BE

that the party which had established mil
itary dominion in some States, would not
hesitate, il opportunity offered, to estsb-
lish it in the remaining States Of the
Union.

Few RluntIers.

The Hon. John Jay, President of the
Union League, in bis speech at Katonah
on the 2lst inst, makes the following
admission of Republican blunders, which
might have been more conspicuous in the
event of defeat. II will be sees that
these we're rather necessities than blum
ders. and that these dear friends of the
negro would have sacrificed him hereto
fore if it had suited their purposes, as
they undoubtedly will hereafter. If
Grant is elected it will be necessary to
the peace of his reign to COLOMBO the
negroes, and he will find or make pre-
text for it. Mr.. jay said:
We are told that the Republican party
since it came into power has made many
blunders, and that for this reason Grant
ought not TO be elected President, We
NAV admit the premise without admitting
the conclusion. That the Republican
uarty and its officers have bluDdered it
would be idle to deny. He never made
war" said that brilliant warrior, Turenne,
"vho never made mistakes" The Cow
eminent commenced by making grand
and almost fatal mistake 10 advising
Europe that the President willingly &C
cepted the rebel dogma, "thst the
Federal Government could not reduce the
seeding States TO obedience by con.
quest" 1t erred again 10 assuring the
world what it knew to be untrue, that the
revolution was without cause, without q
pretext, and without sn object" and in
adding the rash assurance that so preju-
diced cur cause with the working eIs9ses,
and SO au5oldened and strengthened our
enemies, that the condition Of slavery in
the seyeral States woHid REGAIN just the

suited. ike Buchanan tenderness toward

rifcing tens Of thousands Of lives. II

policy and interest as q Beuiral nation,
