New YORK, July Ex-Governor Hoffman sent
a letter of apology to the Tammany celebration
yesterday, in which he said the acceptance or
non-acceptance of certain amendments to the
United States constitution is not practical
question The civil status of the colored man
is established, and he is in actual possession of
the right of suffrage. The task before us is to
save the constitution as whole. TO save it as
it is requires our best efforts. This question is
whether we are to live under a constitution con-
structed by an imperial court and limited, or
under the hollow form of a constitution in
terpreted according to the expediency of the
hour by congress itself, and enforced by an uu-
restrained executive. William NJ. Tweed, in the
course of remarks, said owe propose to strike
forward into noble career and let past issues
die. We propose to take the government of the
country into our own hands and save the coun-
try from 70 ruin" Gen: Mcclellan, in letter to
the Tammany meeting, says: slavery is
dead, let it remain forever. The negro has a
right to vote, let him keep it, but strive to edu-
cate him to a fitness for the high privilege con-
ferred on him. Show him who his real friends
are, and we will eventually turn in our own
favor the weapon so carefully forged for our de-
struction."
