Grand Democratic Rally in Tammany Hall, New York, in behalf of the South and the Un ion—Tetter from Hon. Lewis Cass. An immense meeting of the Democrats of New York City, was held at Tammany Hall, on Satuiday evening, the 2d inst. Resolutions (thirteen in number,) were introduced and en thusiastically carried, denouncing the YVilmot Proviso, and sustaining the South in her resis tance to Northern aggressions. We wish we had space enough for all the resolutions; we must content ourselves, however, with the fol lowing abstract of them from the N. Y. Times : The resolutions were written with great ability and moderation, but firmness of purpose, and were received with boundless enthusiasm. They referred to the union of the States, the struggles of our revo lutionary fathers, the compromises of the constitu tion, and our obligations to carry them out fully and fairly, as they were handed down to us. They de clared that the territories belonged to all the States alike, and that Congress had no right, express or implied, to legislate on the subject of slavery ; that the constitution had been openly and shamefully vi olated in relation to fugitive slaves, and the time had arrived to vindicate the rights of the South by carry ing out the provisions of the fundamental law in good faith ; that the Wilmot proviso was a scheme j of disappointed and corrupt politicians ; that it was a heresy in itself, and used for the purpose of array- | ing one section of the Union against the other. Res olutions approving of the course of General Cass and others on the exciting topics ot tlie day ; depre cating the conduct of our State legislature in adopt ing resolutions relative to slavery; complimenting James Monroe and other members of the Assembly j who refused to vote for such instructions to Congress; a strong condemnation of Senator Seward (or pre senting to the Senate of the United States, and mov ing to refer to a committee, a petition for the disso lution of the Union ; and other resolutions equally patriotic, were adopted without division. Cheers were given for Cass, Dickinson, and others, and ve- : ry substantial groans for the Wihnot proviso and the Van Burens. It must be confessed that there was a tremendous nproar for half an hour or so in the ball; but it orig inated in a difficulty as to whether Robert U. Mor-I ri*, Esq., or Mike Walsh—both opposed to the Wil mot proviso—should speak first. Finally, James ‘l'.! Ksq. arrested the tumult. Previous to this I episode, however, Daniel E. Sickles, Esq. read a capital letter from Gen. Cass in answer loan invita tion to attend the meeting. It had evidently been written under a pressing conviction that nothing but | the uplifted and omnipotent voice of the people could *ave tfie republic from shipwreck. Mike W al.->h addressed the meeting at some length J <on the u neon st itu (i on ali ty of the Wilmot proviso, wd the tiecessity ot maintaining the compromises of ! the constitution. Further speeches were made by Mr. Morris, Capt. j Rynders, and Mr. Sickles. Rynders declared his belief that Congress had no power to prohibit slave ry in the territories, and the North, he said, had noth ing to do with slavery in the South. Capt. Rynders j bud several of his party exerted themselves to obtain t patient hearing for the different speakers. The following is the letter of Gen. Ca.-s, almost •startling in view of his opinion of the imminent peril •of the Union. But it will be seen that it is dated time back, and was doubtless intended for the I meeting two weeks ago, when the hall, it is alleged, i was taken possession of by the free soilers: Washington, Feb. 13, 1850. i Gentlemen : I have just received your invitation ! to attend the meeting proposed to he held at Tainma-’ ny Hall,on Saturday evening, in “defence of the in- ! tegrity of the Union.” Never was tfie Union in j greater peril, and never did our country need wiser j heads or sounder lieirts, to enable her to avoid the j dangers that are fast gathering around us. It is to I ine a source ot great gratification, as well as an an- : gury of safety, that tiie democracy of the great city of New York are coming to the rescue, and are com- j ing—as they have often come in times of difficulty— true to their own creel, and their fathers’ creed, and j with a devotion to the Union, and to the whole Un ion, which considers the rights of *'ach the rights o! *ll. Phis is the true spirit, and the only spirit, in which the crisis can lie justly met. and harmony and confidence restored to the country. It is evident that neither in the North nor West is the extent or tendency of the excitement in the Southern .Stales nnJerstood or appreciated. It seems to be supposed that this is one of those ordinary conflicts of opinion, ! such as we have often experienced, and to which all communities are at times exposed, und that it may ->l'* surveyed without inquietude, as it will pa-s awav without danger. This error, if persisted in, may he ! fatal. The evil day, if not upon ii., is near us. The | uttempt to force an obnoxious, and, as I believe, an I unconstitutional anti useless measure upon the South, lias united that great portion of the confederation to gether as one man, to resist it. AH other questions re absorbed by this, and if the contest goes on, all •othei parties will disappear, and there will be but one party—and that one will l>e a Southern party. The feelings, the opinions, the interests, the prejudices, even, if you please, of a vast community like that, are neither to be lightly treated nor safely disregarded. Bride of character goes as far with States as with i individuals; and when positions are taken in peri ods of excitement, they are not easily abandoned, unless the controversy is conducted in a spirit of j mutual conciliation. When men believe that iin- ; portant rights are assailed, the feeling of opposition is instinctive, and history is full of proof's that they : do not sit down, soberly, to count the cost, before j they prepare for resistance. We have now a prac-’ tical subject under discussion, to which fourteen States of this Union are opposed, I may almost say j —as one man—a degree of unanimity never before ! presented in our own history, and rarely, indeed, in the history t>f atly other country. We have reached j a grave sectional question in our political progress j —that question foreseen and foretold, und of which were so solemnly forewarned by the Father of j fits Country, as the only one which could seriously threaten the existence of this government. His 1 voice now comes to ijs from the tomb. God grant ! that it inay be heard and heeded. Whatever im- j prcs6ion* may prevail el-ewliere, I suppose there is j no intelligent observer at the seat of government, j who is net seriously disturbed at the present state of things. Whether the danger is greater or less, nearer or more remote, are questions about which i men may differ, and, undoubtedly, do differ; but 1 ‘ know no lover of his country who does not view the j crisis as an alarming one, and does not see, in the j signs of the times, the approach of one of those polit ical convulsions which, if not averted by wise and ; timely measures, may be fatal to us, and to the cause of freedom throughout the world. The Union is in danger. The first step towards! safety is to believe that the danger exists, and the watchman, when asked “what of the night,” who does not sound the alarm, is neither true to his own : duty, nor to the interests of those who have commit ted a part of the fortress of their liberty to his keep- | ing; and the next step, and the best step, and the on ly effectual step, is to do as you have done—to call •upon the American people to be up and doing; to say to their servants here and elsewhere, in tones neither to be misunderstood nor to be disobeyed : j We love the Union ; we have lived in it, and we mean to die in it. Place it not in danger by any un necessary act of yours. Let him who will, calculate the value of this Un ion, if he can. I spurn the useless effort. Its value is in the past, in the present, and in the future; in its promises, its performances, and its hopes. In all it has done, and is doing, and is destined yet, I trust, to do. Its value is in the heart of every true Amer ican. It has made ours the most prosperous coun try on the face of the earth : given us a greater measure of national freedom than any other people ever enjoyed ; placed us among the powerful nations of the world, with nothing to fear butourown follies and crimes, and the judgment of God ; it has spread an intelligent, a happy, a contented, and a virtuous population over our hills, and valleys, and prairies, fron the shores of the Atlantic, almost to the base of ! the Rocky Mountains, which the hardy pioneer is ! now ascending; and it has already brought us the ! | political offering, to he laid upon the altar of our ’ common country, of a constitution from a free people. who have established Hieir home upon the very f shores that look out upon China and Japan, j . All this our Union has done ; but if left to go on, 1 its work has but just begun. We cannot explore the future : it is best we should not. But we have rea son to hope, with proper humility indeed, that if not struck with judicial blindness, the career of this great republic will be as glorious in itself as it will j be happy for its people, and encouraging to the lov ers of freedom throughout the world. The cause of human liberty depends on us. If lost here by in testine divisions, it is lost everywhere. We have not only our own fate in our hands, but the great question of the power of self-government is committed to our keeping. If we cannot govern ourselves, who can ? If this constitution fails, the next that will govern us may be the sword. My ar dent prayer is that I may neverlive to see that day. j Come, then, democrats of New York, to the res- I cue of your country. It is a high and holy work, and generations unborn may yet live to bless you for the deed. Aye, and I will add—for the occasion is | too solemn for any professions of exclusive patriot ism—that I trust the whig party, too, will unite in similar effirts, and attempt also to avert the calami ties suspended over our common country. They ! : love her as we do, and have the same interest in her ! prosperity, and in the stability of her institutions, j Let every citizen put his hand to the good work, and it will be done. I cannot attend your meeting on Saturday even-I j ing; my public duties will detain me here; but iny j • heart and my hopes will be with von. Your fellow- ! citizen, LEWIS CASS. Robert J. Dillon.
