THE NEW TAMMANY HALL PLATFORM? * Phe Coming Revolution tm the Demo eratic Party. ‘TO THD EDITOR OF TES WERALD. Mnem article in your journal of to-day, headed “Tho ‘Propesed Revolution of Tammany Hall— Who are For and Agsinst It,” my name is used in a manper which demands Your personal attack 1 shali consider in a practical form after dinposing of the imputation agaivet my political ‘Mmategrity. My auswer to the latter charge will be brief, and J Talnk conclusive, 11 will involve the necessity of refer- fing to myself im a way that may seem egotistical; bat, Uke most of the unpleasant circumstances of life, this @mast be submitted to philosophigally. ‘Io the Girst place, I wrote the address and resolutions ‘which you cail ‘the Tammany Hall manifesto,” and so fer as an: inality in their presentation of the politi- bm ely aay ia concerned, | am eutitled to the eredit or blame, as the caso may be. ABtcipanog = uetion of the recent Convention, I went © Albany for the purpose of meeting the issue then pre. @ented, As a delegate from Tammany Hall, 1 was one of the rst to propose the action, which was finally taken, and tbe firet man to leave the Convention. Ou my reiurn to this city I suggested a caucus of the General (ommittee of Tammany tall. The caucus was bevd, ‘avd on my motion the action of the delegation and a committee, of which I was chair- man, appointed to prepare an address. ‘This commivtep consisted of Jobn Ciancy, Charles G. Augie John E. Bur- rill, Wilen M Tweed, George H. Purser, Emanuel b. Bart and myseit. AS chairman of this committee, I prepared the address @ d plat orm, ag stated, and assumed the responsibiliiy ef its publication. The principles set for:h in this eddress I believe to be ‘those of che democratic party, and] am convinced thas Shey wi!) be endorsed, nut only by Tammany Hall, but dy all true democrats \hroughout the country. 1 know that this movement involves great responsi- Birty, und am willing to take my share of it; for 1 be- lievo ‘that a democratic Prosident, of tho wisdom and mo. eration of General MeCieilan, or of the statesmanship «eed generalship of Grant, can save this country ant Tesiore pence aud prosperity to tts people. ‘The continuance of Jot abolition rule can only lead to end- Seas war and find) rein. The abolition leaders have shown no statesmanship and but little practical patriot fem. They treat this national issue as @ question of party, ard of country—as a question of men, not of pria- ‘ciples , and they would destroy principles to punish men, @hey have been more devoted vw contracts than to the @onstitution. There is no authority for this war except the constitution; and the «abolition leaders, forgetting ‘this creat truth, deliberately trample the constitotion un- der | vot, and thus give the only excuse tothe great mass of the Southern people for holding out against the Union, Arestoration of the democratic party on the broad, generous.and magnanimous principles upon which thi government was founded would. in my judgment, de- ‘Stroy the \ife of treason and restore that of the nation. From these considerations you.will see how unjust has ‘Deen your attack on my political integrity; how mistakea are-in calling me ‘one wt the doubting and doubtful bb: en of maby Hall,” and how thoroughly | am eommitied to the political policy you 80 ably advocate. ‘Now, afew words in regard to personal matters. You ree me with being ‘a general lobby agent.” This is Yhe first time such a charge has been made in a respon- <t form, and I mean to treat it in @ responsible way. true that such charges have been published in a aa ileus weekly, of the stamding and reputation ® Brauch’s Ail '; but for obvious reasons they bave ed unl I cannot regard with respect either verbal or written ‘attacks © of individuals I despise, Now, sir. since yo@ have made my charicter the subject public consideration, I make you this practical offer:— ire 1 meet this charg sunimriiy,and 1 will rofer it © Charies O’Conor, Daniel P. Ingrahem, presiding Justice the Supreme Court, and Judge Betts, of the Unived ‘States Court, or to any other three respectable citizens you may select If these referees decide against mo, I ‘will pay the sum of $5,000 for the benofit of our sick and wounded soldiers. If they decide otherwi:, you shall for ot the same sum to the same benevolent object. Y¥ a have referred to Mr, Charles G. Corvell. tak: sis wm course. I'am compelied to say, however, = there are influences at Aibany used to-punish men opit sake, and that these influences are now | lbs oot to Prevent ‘& free expression of political eemtiment in yor ny. The beads of departments exercise considerable 10- Muence ia Tammany Hall. By statute the Governor has the power to remove these officials ‘‘for cause.” This power was conferred on the Governor for the vory pur- pose of proventing partisanship. It was not given as © Matter of patronage or party control. Republican Gov. eroors have held this same power over democratic of- Beiais, but Lave never atiempted to employ it for politi eal dictation, But now unprincipled men connected with ‘the Governor's military staff have threatened that Gov. @rnor Seymour will abuse this manifestly judiciai author- ws im order wo eco gh the men of this city to the ohitical tyranny at Albany, nd to say that 1 do not believe that Governor Beynca baa authorized these vindictive and degrading Waroats, Whatever may be said of Governor Seymour's tical sentiments, 1 esteem him as too elevated, too re and too b pest * man to lend bimeelf to such a base jon, Nor do] think that any officials will suffer Say, ag they un- Buw Yoax, March 15, 1864.
