AT No 2s7 Hudson street very enthusiastic gath
| ering OF the Tammany democracy OF the Eighth
ward assembled last evening, and at eight O'Clock
| the large han was overlooking with the broadcloth
and velvet coat democracy intermingled with here
| and there some hardy son of toll.
The meeting was called to order by Peter
| MITCHELL the President of the organization,
| who, upon stepping forward, made few remarks.
He called their attention to the great questions OF
taxation, tariffs and finances. He said that the
radical party was responsible for the present crisis
in Wall street-a crisis that would soon reach eli
| max in great financial crash.
Mr. A. J. ROGERS, formerly member OF Congress
from New Jersey, then went forward and made a
lengthy and characteristic address. He began by
saying that he had not appeared at the meeting to
advance the purposes OF any sect or to promote the
| interests OF any clan. He believed tnat
nominees should always be supported when
once placed before the people. After referring to
the men who composed the radical party the
speaker went on to denounce che late act OF General
Grant telegraphing General Barlow to forcibly
resist warrant issued by the Supreme Court OF the
State OF New York. man had been apprehended

mlssloners OF the Southern States He was held
without warrant of law and in defiance OF the
constitution OF the state OF New YORK. An appli-
cation maze by his attorney TO secure the release OF
The prisoner on habeas corpus, was granted by
Emperor Grant, General barlow ses this writ Of
supreme Court Judge at defiance; and In carrying
out his contempt when threatened with arrest he
again by the order OF his chief, and consum-
mated one of the most despotic acts that ever
disgraced the record OF any country. This act OF
Grants was treason and for such an offence, upon
trial. he could be convicted. Napoleon, nor the
Car, nor Sultan, ever welded such despouc power.
The prediction therefore, OF General f. P. Blair IN
the last canvass was correct. Grant was tyrant.
The republicans were born to spread desolalon, to
Of brotherhood. Mr. Rogers went on in this strain
| Of denunciaton, saying that the filthy radicals
Inhabited the domiclles OF our gods.o He closed by
referring to the troubles in Wall street which he said
were caused by nest of thieves.
