The Giant Judge Drops inte Tammany—A Large Bid for Register. New York, August 31, 1568. To THE DEMOCRATIO UNION ORGANIZATION OF THE Oiry or New YorE:— Iwas on last Saturday evening elected by the democracy of the ward in which I residee member ofthe General Committee of Tammany Hall, on a ticket composed of representative men of that strong Gemocratic district, with whom I can cordially act ‘and who will zealously and efficiently co-operate with me in all matters of party advancement. My constituents have also indicated their desire that I should represent them a3 a delegate from Tammany Hall inthe approaching State Convention to sup- port the nomination of John T. Hofman for Gov. ernor, This action happens under circumstances of grave Fesponsibility to me in the decision I may make to aceept or reject this proferred concession. Less than @ year ago, as the opponent of the nominee of Tam- many Hall for the chief county ofice in the gift of our citizens, I polied over forty-three thousand votes, without patronage. pecuniary meansor power, except that which came from the unbiased and un- purchasable suflrages of the people, and against the most powerful combination of official influence and the most lavish expenditure of money; and I am now, When this action is presented, the chairman of your qrganization. My position, therefore, involves more than that of an individual member of the demo- cratic party, and, I may be permitted to add, more ‘than that which attaches to me as your chairman, if the vote which Ff received as a candidate is a test, because the distinctive candidates of your organi- zation only polled about sixteen thousand votes, I have concluded, on consultation with as many friend 28 I have been enabled to confer with in the brief time allowed me for decision, and as the result of my convictions of duty, to accept the trust which hag thus been imposed on me, and to cast my for- tunes hereafter with Tammany Hall, the recognized regular organization of the democracy of the city of New York. It is proper that I should state that this concession dg atiended with circumstances which will substen- Uailly prove that the doors of Tammany Hall are hereafter to be opened wide to the people, and that the policy of management against which I have con- ‘ended in the past ts to be altogether reformed. And J ain justitied in assuring my friends that I shall be able “hereafter to serve them much more eifect- wally than it has heretofore been my pro- vince to do. I have been a resident ‘of this city and an active member of the demo- criid party for now nearly forty years, It was in Tammany Hall, in my young manhood, that 1 was atopted into the democratic family, and it has been there, through my long and busy ile, that 1 have formed my tuost cherisied associations.

The intention of this battalion ts to participate in the proposed reception of Carl Schurz inthis city next Saturday, Professor Glaubensklee and General Krzysanowsky made speeches on the occasion and seem to be the leading spirits of the movement. ‘The first declared that artillery they must have, since the great Napoleon had asserted Lash by enough artillery he could conquer the world, Grant and Colfax Mass Meeting in Brooklyn. ‘There was a mass meeting of the republican citizens of Brooklyn held last evening at the headquarters, over the Post Office, under the auspices of tne Third and Fourth Wards Grant and Colfax Club. Luther B. Wyman’ presided. A glee cinb which was in attendance sang several patriotic airs in a most acceptable manner, after which Butler G. Noble, ex- Governor of Wisconsin, came forward and spoke at considerable length on the questions at issue in the Presidential campaign. He congratulated his hear- ers upon the auspicions opening of the cam- Pe. of 1868, in which campaign they were bound to be successful under the same leader that had proved so successful before. With regard to Seymour, the speaker satd that the black thread of compromise ran through every speech made by him during the war. The policy of the democracy had ever been that of compromise with the rebels, who held that a State could not be coerced. Should Seymour be elected there was nothing to prevent a recurrence of rebellion, The men of -the South who loudest on the “lost cause” were all found to he strongest advocates of the election of the men entertaining this theory of “you can’t coerce a State.” The Cabinet would, in the event of a demo- cratic victory, be filled by such men as Wade Hamp- ton, Howell Cobb, — Hem A. Wise and Beauregard, while Raphael Semmes wonld represent the government in England, the latter boing the best one to settle the Alabama claims, as he knows more about it. The military man of the age was the man for the White House, one whom treason are not approach. ‘The speaker eulogized Grant as a man of action and not of words, and dwelt upon this. theme in @ forcible manner. He advocated the payment of the national debt to the last farthing, and depre- oat ed _ doctrine of repudiation as fatal to our credit abroad Remarks were made by H. B. Crozier and others, after which the meeting, which was most enthusi- astic throughout, adjourned. THE CAMPAIGN IN VERMONT. BURLINGTON, August 31, 1868. Much more than usual interest ts manifested throughout this State in the State election which takes place to-morrow. The democrats are very confident of largely increasing their vote of last year and are making great exertions. The repubil- cans are also working hard. Much stumping has been done during the past few days, principal ly by republicans, A very full vote is expected, and every voter that can be got to the polis will be called on to- morrow. The city ia very lively to-night. Both parties are out in long processions with banners and banda, the republicans with torcbiighta and fireworks. The democrats congregate tm the iy Hall and the re- biicans assemble in the City Hall Park. Both par- tes have able speakers ia attendance. RUTLAND, Augtet 31, 1968. ‘There was a large republican ratification meeting held here this evening, which was addressed by ea speakers.

The unwavering stand taken by the people of Georgia had sent dis- may inio the ranks of the enemy, who, feeling their hold of pone stipping from their Grasp, gnash their teeth in impotent rage; driven from their strong- holds and feeling that their days are numbered, they cry they hear the tocsin of war, and whiningly utter their professions of a desire for “peace.” The democracy also wants peace, and is assured that there is an easier way of disposing of this radical party than a resortto war. Peace must come, but the country can incon 4 no peace in chains, North and South true men have stricken hands, vowing to be down these common enemies of mankind. They have announced a platform upon which all can stand. Mr. Toombs then proceeded to prove by citations from history that the fall of nations had been preceded by just such lapses of virtue in the people as prefaced the war of the States, He then traced out the road to peace and prosperity. In a brief review of Grant the speaker depicted the degradation of that chieftain, in (hat he had been proven a Uar, while a member of Johnson’s Cabinet, by five of his colleagues. He is a confessed traitor, for he said he went into the councils of Mr. Johnson for that purpose. Mr. Toombs, however, was disposed to think that Grant had lied upon him- self when he made the confession; tt was lie the second to get out of Ue the first. Mr, Toombs, while denouncing unsparingly those men who had pro- feased such devotion to the South and the Confede- rate cause until her fortunes began to wane, made no attuck upon that respectable «of Union men who had supported the reconstruction measures for the purpose of getting back into the Union. He imed that such men, of a'l others, should support mour and Blair, avowed and ancompromising Union men. There was nothing to separate such Union men from the democracy now, Whatever might have been the difference in the past. Mr. Toombs concluded with an earnest appeal to the men of the country to be true to their manhood, and thanks to the fair women for the controlling in- fluence which they had exerted in maintaining the honor and dignity of thelr fathers, brothers and sons, Dinner was then announced, when the five thousand were fed with the fat of the land.

On the 20th’ ultimo the Hon, Ignatius Donnelly, member of Congress from Minnesota, delivered a speech in St, Paul, which is only excelled in classic elegance of diction by his previous effort in the House of Representatives when himself and Hon. E. B. Washburne had a struggle for the champion- ship of polite and statesmaniike oratory. The fol- lowing are extracts from his last speech, They will be found to contain some curious revelations about State politics In Minnesota, Mr. Donnelly referred to the report that an Irre- pressible gonfitct existed between himself and Sena- tor Ramsey, and continued;— By the reports in some parts of the country one would judge that | was raised by Governor Ratnsey, (Applause) I repudiate the tnsinuation.

To the last, I scorn, i ‘8 thein to do their utmost. (Prolonged cheer ng). toe . The following is the concluding portion of a speech delivered lately by Noah Green, a leading Israelite of Keokuk, lowa:— Now on what side do we stand? Shall we array ourselves on the side of equal justice, of peace and order, or on the side of war and anarchy? It is not a question of persons merely—Grant or Seymour—it is a question of opposite ideas and their necessary consequences. I address myself to the intelligent, patriotic Jews, to whom this country and the cause ofjustice and liberty are dearer than the gratification of their indignation, however just. I do not ask them to love Grant, but to love their race; to vote for Grant, not for his sake, but for the triumph of the {dea of justice. For my part, 1f a man had spit into my face publicly, if he had kicked me, if 1 afterwards by voting for him could serve liberty and justice, 1 would do it, For what am I, what is General Grant, what are we all of us? We are but like insects of the moment, soon passing away. But the consequences of our actions do not pass away; they will extend to future generations to curse or to bless them, Eighteen hundred years ago some leading aristocratic Jews committed a blunder, and though they have been mouldering these gighteen hundred years—though their bodies have been reduced to atoms—the consequences of their blunder stil! lasts, and T have suifered for it and thousands of Jews are still suffering for it, be- cause it has given to others a pretext for perse- cuting us. I do not know whether the same reasons will carry with others the same weight as they do with me. But one thing I do know, and that is that if the Jews, as a mass, will join in this strnggle the elements of slavery, of oppression and anarehy, the future historian'will record that descendants of the same race that was once en- slaved—nay, that was at one time so despised that men disdained to buy them as slaves when they were offered for sale; descendants of the same race that suffered a persecution for nearly two thousand years; that were often driven by thousands and tens of thousands to the synagorues and buried there alive with their women and children; when, in the course of time they had attained their rights, and thi tting as judges, and the question was put before them:—"Shall equal and exact justice be be done to all men?” they answered, No! having come to a country that treated them most gener: ously, they assisted by their votes to bring upon the same’ country the horrors, earnaye and destruction eof civil war, for the purpose of depriving another oppressed race of the only means by which it could defend its right to hfe, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

At the radical meeting held at Sumter on the 22d ultimo the crowd of negroes present was large and excited. They were addressed by Rev. William E. Jounson, member of the Legislature of South Carolina from this district and pastor of the colored church at this place, and by George W. Lee and R. B. Elitott, both of whom are members of the General Assembly of South Carolina, and all three negroes from Massachusetts and leaders of the radical party in South Carolina. The Rev. William E. Johnson presided, and after some preliminary remarks he proceeded to fatter his hearers. He told them they were all they should be—they were as good as any white man ana much more honest and truthful; that though there were stealing and lying among them, they were not at all responsible or blamable therefor; it was all due to the white man who heretofore had controlled them and who had taught them to Ite and steal. He told them that the radical party bad Pity them (the democratic | noe had no hand in it) heir freedom and had brought them thus far in perfect safety and were now waging a war for the right of ‘universal sul "for them; he called upon them to assist in that fight, and them “to die before they would yield up the rig! t_they already had,” even ‘though the elec- tion should go against them.’ To which they yelled, “Yea, we will, we will.” Told them that the demo- cratic party was their enemy, and if the democracy succeeded “they would put them all down in a dark, deep hole, from whence they would never be allowed to Bee the light of day any more.” (Cries of “Hear dat,” “See dat, now,” all over the house.) George W. Lee followed. He had been a eoldier and — in the cause of freedom all through the war, and knew of his own personal knowledge the truth of what he had to tell them.

The fight now by the radical party was on their ac- count and in order to give them universe! suffrage, and he knew the black man too well to be mistaken when he asserted that if this universal Leg od was denied him he would have to be killed before he would yield. (Cries of ‘Yes, we will, we will!” “That's so, that's 8o!") He continned—The radical party had raised and given them, through the Freed- men’s Bureau, three millions of dotlars to feed their poor, while the democrats had done nothing for them, but had it for four years to rivet their chains on them. The radical 7 intended getting possession of all the uncultivated land iu the State— and there was enough of it for all—and would give to each of them @ comfortable homestead, which La § should have on a credit and very cheap an pay for it by Searees.
