THE ORNAMENTS OF TAMMANY
HALL.
From Harpers weekly.l

| Tammany Hall, which was PROBABLY MADE
at an early meeting of the managers, and
the results of which will undoubtedly be
apparent in the superb OrnamenatiOn Of
the hall when the Convention assemblies.
1.-THE hall, . begins this interesting doeu'
ment, should, of course, be hung with
portraits of eminent Democrats; and for the
space over the Presidents chair we suggest
a decoration consisting of the flags OF the
United States and the Confederate States
fraternally intertwined, and beneath them
as beautiful symbol of Christian feeling
a portrait of that tried and true, but fol
the present unfortunate Democratic leader
Jefferson Davis, with the neat legend from
one Of his latest speeches:
al would rather fraternize with hyena'
than Yankees
1.-The portrait OF our Beauregard natur
ally suggests itself. He may not be witt
us in the flesh, but he will be present il
spirit, and he has expressed his sympathy
with the party. The motto under hi;
honOred physiognomy should obviously be
| one which Generals Franklin and SlOcum
and their fellow Lincoln hirelings' will
readily recall. Our Beauregard, in speak
| ing of the late atrocious attempt of the
United States government to prevent him
and his Southern Democratic friends IRON
freeing their country says:
GAN rules of civilized warfare are aband
oned, and they Generals Franklin and
Slocum and their friends) proclaim by theiI
acts, if not on their banners, that their war
cry is, ''beauty and booty"
"The Democratic head of the illustrious
Forrest will be gratefully hailed. He is
himself delegate, and is portrait needs no
other inscription than: Our honored col
league as he appeared at Fort Pillow
"Should there be other delegates who
took an equally active part in the late
Democratic protest against Beauregard's
reckless and unprincipled tyrant,' Lin
coin, let their portraits be gracefully
grouped, and a representation of the An
Jacksonville military prison appended, la
beled, The Palladium OF Southern Demo
cratic liberties
"Of the cherished Northern statesmen OF
the party there must be, of course, a por-
trait of the faVOrite son of New York,
Horatio Seymour, in the act Of uttering his
celebrated sentence:
&c If it is true that slavery must be abol-
ished to save this Union, then the people OF
the South should be allowed to withdraw
themselves from that Government which
cannot give them the protection guaranteed
by its TERMS
"Or his other prophetic sentence, that
to attempt to restore the Union by war
would
"'Prove ruinous to the North, and de-
velop the resources of the South
Nor should portrait of that stalwart
Democrat John A. Greene, of Syracuse, be
wanting. What could be filter for its mot
to than the outburst of sound Democratic
doctrine upon the subject of the draft in
I863-as General Franklin and General
Slecum will remember:
"'Ye devils incarnate 1.-THE Government
of the Uuited Statesi, who with hearts of
adamant and fearless eye drag hundreds of
thousands to your slaughter-pens and de-
mand the determination of millions more
of the very brothers of your blood
tremble 7
"Shall we repudiate our Pendleton-our
Gentleman George, if we may seem ia
miliar with that august name? Never.
Beneath his canvas inscribe his immortal
words:
"Tf your differences are so great that you
can not or viii not compromise them, then,
gentlemen, let the seeding States depart in
peaceH
"Let us have also the countenance--a
mermaiden blending of Wing and Demo-
crat; Pans Reed, a blown Reed-of the
worthy biographer of James Buchanan !;
and surrounding the portrait, like halo,
Mr.. Reed s inspiring words; -4
"'I deny as have ever done. that the
Federal Government has any right under
the Constitution to coerce by force of arms
any one or more of its great constituencies.'
"We recommend with ardor speaking
portrait Of our illustrious cavalry chief
Wade Hampton-which our beloved broth
ers Generals Franklin and Slocum will so
gladly recognize. And for the motto what
can be 80 appropriate as his very last pub
Lie words, spoken less than month ago,
and which will be prophetic if we can. only
succeed at the pools:
q THE cause for which Jackson [stone-.
vail and Stuart fell can not be In vain; but.
In some form, will yet triumph.

Nor must we forget the head Of the

Of the late lamentable and unconstitutional
attempt at coercion directed against the
