A Communication was received from the Counsel of the ‘Corporation, in answer to & resolution of the Board making inquiry as to the legality of the $200,000 appro- priation for the Central Park, in which he denies the {power of this Board to impose such atax. He says the power (0 tax is @ governmental power, and can only be exercised by the supreme authority—the State—either directly by its own ogents, or indirectly by grants of the power to other persons, as, for example, to counties, cities, towns, &c, Such grants may be wider or nar- rower, according to the judgment and discretion of the tegisiative power of the State.

In the Serate, on Wednesday, an animated debate took place between Mr. Jonnson, of Arkansas, and Mr. Seward, arising from the vindication which the former gentleman deemed proper to make of the conduct of his colleague bes im the assault upon Mr. Greeley.

He is a gentleman, and is certainly one of the most uniformly magnanimous, generous, and bighly hon- orable and true men that lives upon the whole wide earth. T have known bim from iy earliest manhood, and during his earliest youth, and this is my experience with refe- rence to him during the whole time. 2 Mr. Seward replied to Mr. Johnson's vindication of st — In the course of the ¢ebate yesterday it will be recollected that the nonorabie Senator from Virginia, (Mr. Hunter) alluding to the matter of Mr, Sumner, stated as a matter of grievance against the State of Massachu- setts that she had converted what had been a personal difficulty into a public matter, or she had taken a course which had that tendency. I went on to show that Mas- sachusetts was uot so responsible for having converted what he had called a personal quarrel into a public one, and that the fact of the assault on Mr. Sumner having become a public question, or subject of so great magni- tude, resulted from its nature, circumstances, and ante- cedents, and a foresight on the consequences whica must follow it. By way of illustrating rapdly as thoughts ocenrred to my miad, its mature and circumstanees, an- tecedents, and consequences of that assault, I spoke of the tact that an editor of a newspaper had been assaulted Without suiticient preliminary notice to pat him on his cr personal ‘efence, and beaten down in one of the aveuues leading to the Capitol, for the assumed offence of words written ¢ ing what had beeu done by a member of the House of Representatives in his official capacity. * * Iremember, | w to illustrate, two or three years sgo, when the ebraska bill was before the Sepate, | entertained a very bad opinion of that bill—an Opinion about as bad as any Senator or citizea can enter- tain of a measure which itis his duty to oppose. In ad- dressing the Senate 1 found it necessary to characterize in strong terms; but I guarded myself agaist uch character whatever to the author of r its motives. I did so precisely for the reason that! bad no doubt myself at the time that the author had no unpatriotic cr unjust motives, and I con eeded to bim, precisely as | claimed for myself, integrity of motive, as | do every other person engaged in public duties. I freely coucede the same purity of motives to the colleague of the Senator (Mr. Rust) in the transaction referred to, althoogh that transaction 13 uot at all remem- bered by me. He is entitled by bis position to that ac- knowledgment. lcan readily believe his character to be just what is given Lim by the Senator, for I know he is a man of truth a’ or, While I'am personally un- acquainted with ague (Mr Rast). I have, there. fore, not sanctioned the a ~ of which he complains, and I have no reas ‘That is my v ding ty this whole case. In the ‘ount whieh: I received of the first place, tax transaction, the assault made was without sufficient pre liminary notice. As a question of faet, if the circum. stances remain as then understood, my opinion is the same still. If not so, if the facts are misunderstood, it Will be modified according to circumstances, if more or other notice thap I had understood was given. In regard to the other branch of the question, I co: sider the article of which complamt is made of the editor of the Trilune as being in bad taste, excessive, extrava and severe. 1 ded it, however, as not an at metives or the character of the member who bad introduced the measure which was coudemned, al though I may have Deen iu error on thai subject. So I thought that the as-aulton bim was @ sufficiont excuse in that way. Leyend that, the honorable Senator knows, and everyb knows, that it is my jadg- ment, ' my e of action, that the ia- terests of ) . dof truth require freedom of the press, and free: speech and debate, and that whatever errors may be committed in the exercise of ‘that freedom they onnter balanced tn their effects b; the good which results from discussion. I think, as all the world knows I do, that it is not right for aay person, citizen or member of Congress, or in any official station, to resort to personal sation for the vindication of cha- racter assailed in debate, or throngh the press. « being so, the transaction appeared to me one bh was inexcustble. 1 referred to the fact, however, ae an historical one. 1 neither mate nor implied, nor it tended. apy reflection on the ailant in that case, but simply gave it as it was understood by me, as one of the antecedent circumstances by operation of which, with other causes, deeper and wider interest had been excited concerning the transaction between Mr. Sumner and Mr. Brooks. my Personal Intelligence.

NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 138, ‘Union of the Hards and Softs. FRATERNIZATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC GENERAL COMMITTEES. ‘The two Democratic General Committess met last even_ ing at their respective places of meeting, Tammany Hall ‘and Stuyvesant Institute. At Tammany Hall, the softs, Wison Saat, Chairman, received a plan of union of their committee with the ards, and passed upon the acceptance of the same, with ‘but one or two dissenting voices, when they proceeded in @ body to Stuyvesant Institute to complete the union ‘agreed upon. At Stuyvesant Institute, the hards were meanwhile ‘waiting the arrival of their new allies before organizing, which was not till after nine o'clock. Upon announcement that the Soft Shell General Com- mittee bad arrived and were in waiting outside, a com- mittee , consisting of Mesars. Sinclair, Marsh and Blake- well, ‘was appointed to notify them of the readiness of the Hard Shell Committee to receive them- ‘The Tammany Hall Committee hereupon were induct- cd into the room and introduced to the Stuyvesant Com- mittee, and took their seats with the latter body. The ‘Stuyvesant Committee Chairman (Horace F. Clark) wel- comed Wilson Small, their Chairman, to a seat by his ride, After mutual greetings and cheers had subsided, Mr. CLanx spoke as follows:— You may not have been officially apprised, though most of you are aware, that at the last meeting your Chairman was appo'nted a committee to confer with Mr. Shepard, of the Democratic Republican General Com- mittee, to arrange the mode of the consolidation of the two committees. I have had the plea- sure of meeting Mr. Shepard, and the additional pleasure of finding im bim the spirit and deter- mination that our union should be cordial and imme- diate. After some discussion, we settled upon certain plans which have been agreed upon as the basis of our union, which, having been prepared in writing, | now read, as follows:— PLAN FOR THE UNION OF TH¥ TWO DEMOCRATIC GENERAL COM- MITTRES, 1st. The two committees to be united, with the express condition and understanding, on each side, that if the two State Conventions, to assemble at Syracuse on the 30th ipst., fail to harmonize, thea each committee shall be at liberty to withdraw ‘from the Union Committee, with its former or original organization 2d. The Committee of which Mr. Small is Chairman, to meet the Committee of which Mr. Clark is Chairman, at the rooms of the latter, in Stuyvesant Institute, on Thurs- day, July 17, 1856, a 8 o'clock P M., and the union to be then ‘and there perfected. 3d. The officers of the two committees to be the tempo- rar officers of the Union Committee. 4th. The Union Committee to designate by the vote of a majority the place of the future meetings of the Com- mittee. Mr. CLARK, after the reading «f the plan, proceeded With the following remarks :-— GxxtiameN—Nothing remains but to perfect our new organization and to determine to matntain it in order aud harmony. The vame of a gentleman this moment occurs to me of long and acknowledged prominence in the de- moeratic ranks, upon whom, | think, we can with one common voice unite a2 our presiding officer. I refer to Hon. Lorenzo B. Shepard. Lam inclined thus to intro- duce his name not by reason of, the personal friendship which | readily avail myself of this occasion to acknow- ledge, but for the circumstance that I have recently wit- nessed the prudent and moderate course, and the un- selfish ane patriotic sentiments, the exercise of which has enabled him to become the instrament of effecting this union. I feel constrained to say that I regard the avcom- plisbment of our common desires as eminently attributa- bie to his timely action and determined perseverance. AS 4 just acknowledgment for these eminent services I take pleasure in proposing that Mr. Shepard be elected by acclamation ae permanent Chairman of this organiza- tion. Mr. Clark, at the close of his remarks, was loudly cheered. Mr. Wirson Swati, Chairman of the softs, now reai the following reeponte:— GrytTLexEN oF THE National Dexocratic Generar Com- itrex—We have been informed of your unconditional acceytance of the tender of union, which forthe sake of our cause and our country we made to you. We rejoice that the same spirit which animated us in ‘he offer has induced your prompt acceptance. We have come to congratulete you upon the prospect which this scene aftorus of a united and barmonious co-operation of the Cemoeratic orgauizations of the city in mugport of the democratic candidates, and in protection of the large and vital national interests invelved. We propose one com- mon organization, with one presiding officer. We have determined to overlook the dissensions of the past, which now belong solely to our political history, and to blend our common strenth in one Ur ited phalanx in sup port of those principles which have always found ac- ceptance with tae American people. The democratic par: ty 1 mains, what it has ever beea, the great conservative party of the Union, and the blending of our organiza- tions will remove the only impediment which threatens to impair the strong support which the democracy of the city of New York have rmined to render tu the cause of the people. Mr. Smail was likewise loudly applauded. After the applause had subsided, Mr. Crarx followed, with the epsuing response:— GextixMen oF THR Diotocratic Repraucan GrvERat CommTrkv—In behalf of the organization over whicn I have the houor to preside. I welcome you, In their be- aif, and in that of the democracy of the country, | con- gratulate you and ourselves upon this auspicious hour, which realizes our most cherished expectations, and gives sesurance that in er er struggle the democracy of the city of New Y. ‘will present one un broken front to their political adversaries, by whatever pame they may be called. You have come and tendered the olive branch at a time when the tender could be made with pride, and accepted without dishonor. You have proffered the proposition for union, at a time when it could pot be withbeld without danger nor deolined without hazard to the cause whose success we deem essential to the preservation of the harmony and prosperity of the American Fe In the spirit in which we conceive the proffer to been made, it has been cordially accepted. We are not urmindful that, notwithst mding we have for some years maintained our separate politicel organiza tons, we, nevertheless, profess the same political creed, apd are enlisted under the same politi banner; we advocate the same political measures: we defead against common political dangers; and without regard to the cir- cumstances which originally led to our severance, we can now discover no reason why our organizations should not blend like kindred streams singe into one. While we are here assembled, be Know Nothing else where holds his midnight councl!, and the republican actively plots his conspiracies against the integrity of the American Union, The democracy of the republic have rallied to form a breastwork against the fanaticism which seems to vex a considerable portion of our people, and have determined to prove anew to the country that tb conservative elements which form the basis of tl [ebps gee still live in undiminished force. They canw mger abide it that divisions of the same grand ar should contend with eaeh other under separate organiza tions, while the comunon enemy is in view. arrayed for battle. We have therefore consented to merge our sepa- rate organizations, and to accept the warm ahd open hand of political fellowship which you have so gracefully tendered. 1 will not detain you with extended 2 marks, for the purpose of our present assembii altogether practical. That purpose is to estal a ofte single organization, and make selection of those officers who are to conduct its executive busivess. To this simple metter theretore will I for a moment address my self. It i# manifest that there shoald be but one pre. siding officer. {tis also manifest that the existing pre. siding officer of either organization cannot claim the right wo preside over the deliberations of the two assembied constituencies. It is natural that each constituency should seek to prefer him upon whom its choice haa hitherto falen. Ibave feititto be my privilege and my duty to hasten to remove any impediment inthe way of harmo- ious organizsten which may flow from my own official ition, and I will venture respectfully to suggest to the Ronorabie gentiemen to whom you have given your con fidence, that the privilege whieh [claim for inyseif is equatly bis. I have therefore determined to resign the place 4 hold ss Chairman of the Nationsi Democratic General Committee. aud to dec jae to become @ candidate for the position of presiding officer of the new organ: zation.

Shepard President of the joint body. Recorder Ssrru (hard) moved that the meeting enter into a batlot to elect a President. Mr. GatuGuer (bard) moved the adoption of the plan of union presented. Mr. Barp bah gah that something be said in wee of ‘k, as he bad been treated rather arsbly. M>. CLARK = Shell Committee Chairman), said he could hea! imself; he felt notin the slightest degree rita Mr. Haskxit (hard) claimed that the resolutions offered by himself were in erder. Cries 0’ * The previous question” arose from several. A long discussion and wrangle ensued, as to who and what wes in order, Mr. Twos. Munpay, in the course of the war of words, insisted on along speech, and as he could not be put down and would not sit down at the command of the Chairman, Mr. Clark moved his expulsion. Mr. McNpay was put down, and an attempt to resume business was made. Mr. Haskxit. called (or a reading of his resolutions, aud e were read. ome further remarks upon the resolutions, the s taken upon their adoption, with the following result:—Ayes 20, negative 70. ‘The vote was taken upon the adoption of the plan of union presented by Mr. Clark, and carried, with but one dissenting voice. The vote after this was taken upon the election, by ac- clamation, ot Lorenzo B. Shepard as President of the Jomt committee. The vote was put and carried unanimously. Three cheers were now roundly given for Mr. Shepard, the new President elect, and afterwards for Mr. Clark and Mr. Small, the respective chairmer of the two former committees. Messrs. H. F. Clark and Steers were chosen acommit tee to conduct to the chair the new President elect. Mr. Smaxt (the acting Chairman) said it was with no little ‘pleasure that he greeted Mr. Shepard. and wel comed him to the chairmanship of the two committees of the hards and softs of the democratic par.y of the city and county of New York. Mr. Shepard had long been known to them as a tried and faithful democrat, aud they felt confidence in his leadership. Mr. Su¥Paxp followed in response. He said that no depth of emotion could expgges bis feelings He had beea highly honored by a portion of tLe democratic party with which he had differed inviews; be velieved that the action taken to-night would never be regretted ; he had every reason to believe that st would form the opeaing dawn of Jovioas and successful future for the democratic Ly. should ark their kind indulgence and supportia the discharge of hix duties. The scales he would hold even, and co nothing that would cause auy democrat to regcet the vote takeu to night. He knew with what effect the action taken to-night would go abroad. Its result would be to unite the democratic party in a solid phalanx. He trusted there wouldbe no more divisions in their ranks. (Applause) Could he say more? Let Kuow Nothingism bave its day, and all the sectional divisions that bed tgeaney ep have their Wetet seie They whuid all fall, as fall they must. The democratic party would stand as it stood in the days of Jefferson. A victory would crown its united efforts. Mr. Shepard closed amid deafening cheers. It was voted that the Secretaries of the two committees remain in office. Mr. Wilson Small was chosen Secre tary; after which, amid deafening cheers for the new upion, a8 effected, an adjournment took place to next Thursday pight, at Tammany Hall. ‘Tammany Hali Democratic Primary Elec- tons.
