For some weeks past the Committee of Arrangements have been instituting the most extensive "Preparations to make the fiftieth anniversary of the memorable scenes enacted on the &%h of January an oc- casion Of unnsual interest; and it vvas expected that the Pres:dent of the United States and a number of the most @istinguished statesmen in the country would participate fm the celebration. Over sixty letters were received from @ host of well kiown democrats, none of which ‘wore read. Tho bariquet was served iw the Old Wigwam, which was tastefully decorated with Sarge portraits of Washington, Jackeon and Johnson, draped in American flags. Gra- fule’s celebrated band was in attendance, and discoursed wboce pieces of music during the evening. At eight ® clock the invited guests marched in procession into the banquet hall, among whom we observed Rear Admiral Farragut, Geverai Heintzelman, Mayor Hoffman, Judge Russell, Colonel Jas. B. Murray and a host of distin- guished democrats, . The Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Donglas Taylor, exerted himself to make the demonstration a success. After the company had abundantly satisfied the wants of the inner man, Hon, John Van Buren, who presided, rose and said SPEECH OF JOHN VAN BUREN. Mr. Vax B said:—Gentlemen, before. proceeding to dzink the regular toasts I wish to call your attention for a moment to the circumstances under which we are asvembled, We are assembled to commemorate the Bfuieth anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, at Tam- many Gall, and it is an interesting circumstance that on this oceasion we meet in the samo hall and at the invita- tion of the same society who invited the great hero of that battle to dine with us in 1819, now nearly forty. Seven yours ago. (Appiause.) Rapidly as everything changes in “the United States—quickly as build: ings are torn down and replacod — frequently a6 political changes and personal associations wre con tinually changing, the Tammany Society—an old justiti tion in 1819, and still flourishing im fail vigor——had the honor to invite Andrew Jaskeon to dine with them in this hal! so long ago as 1819. (Applause.) It isan inte resting eltcumstanco in the history of the Society ard in the history of this city that this old building, erseted daring our struggles agaiust Great Britain, and made then the domicile of the Tammany Soviety, which had been in existence for some thfrty years before, should still stand, and still bo dedicated to the defence of free nciples, and be still used for the purpose of the assem. lage of those who are devoted to the assertion of cor- tain great constitutional and political principles, and that the same society that was founded lony before that should reassemble here to commemorate the semi-centennial celebration of the grant Victory to which 4 have ad. verted. (Applause.) Ihave taken tho pains to extract from the minutes of our society the proceedings b which General Jackson was invited to meot with this Society in 1819, and by which his conduct during 1538, and in the subsequent campaigns against the Seminolo Indians in tho acts that it then became necersary for him Yo perform, and fully vindicatod. It is interesting as a feature in’ the history of the Tammany Society and in the manner ip which they sustain public men not Particularly associated with them in action; for in 1819 General Jackson icular political position, Hes was known, e other distinguished men in the army and avy, ns the great defender of his conutry, and tyhen he was assailed for the successful defence of our country at 7 Orleans, the Tammany Society thought itm and erty political bad no rise in his vindication, (Cheorr.) They did so, passed a resolution which I will take the lib reading to you. In 1819, whew Mr. William Mooney was the Grand Sachem of the socialy, in tue thirtieth year of its existence, they passed a resolution an these words :— @f opinion on all snbject» relative to nation: ee Hty, the rights and charscter of the cquntry * when Tum. body preae ves, and whereas or Columbian Order—the oldest the benefit. of Iberty and perpe copat m—has bern of our Itherties, and of those eMivens whose services havo deserved well of their country; 5 t_ whereas the jutrepid and patrioile career of Major fens Suckson, ax evinced in the glorious hatte of has ever and the succeseful batiles against the Seminole i the highest honor, eredit and glory on Staten; and viewing with indignath by recred enemies and ‘tended friem tation of that gallant officer, who ha San ae weil of bis country, but merits the gratiiude of mmany Society, or Columbian Order, of thi ey and county of New.

He was told by a high official in Washington that the men of the South were to bo relied upon in their honest declarations that they would come back to the Union; but the cow- ards and sneaks were yet full of traitorous declarations. He wanted that the democratic party should take them at their word. Bat he asked why the eloquent men of the South who wero anxious to have the Union restored did not declare their sentiments in public addresses, If the South meant to co-operate with the democracy of the North in putting down the infernal lived in these days.

T crave your indulgence while I show ry. he was Worthy of honor as a priest and as a man, and , therefore, let him be esteemed worthy of double honor; honor as a priest and honor as aman. That the eacerdotal character is worthy of the highest honor on account of the divine authority by which it was established all must acknowledge; but it is pot of the divino but of the buman wish to speak. What is. tail to the priesthood? Is it a desire to chtain a favorable Position m order to impose private fellow men? Is it amitching for porsonal display which ritual ancient and gorgeous affords toa person in the Sacred ministry? Or i it @ cold, misanthropic tempera. ment that leads one to eet bit aside frown his fellow men? Or is tan ambition that leads men to join the priesthood? No! athousand times ne! A call to the Priosthood bas no such aim. No snctt sentiment, no such motive actuates the heart of the priest. A call to the priesthood means this: a continuation of the divine work of the redemption of mankind. This is the true aim nod the oseentia! work of the it.
