Surveying his surroundings and the announcements on the pro gramme, yonr correspondent con ceived that- tall expressions of Demo cratic principles and policy as re gards ‘the Presidential contest of 1872; and the political platform of the Democratic party in the coming contest, would be announced and presented to the numerous assem blage of the Democracy of the Met ropolitan city of the tlnited States. But there was nothing of a definite character—nothing of Democratic policy, and nothing but magniloquent generalities, (with the exception of what was said, and well said by Mr. Runyon, the Mayor of Newark, on the subject of State Eights).'' His ex position on that subject—the most important of all political subjects, are worthy of being preserved. The letters of Governor Hoffman, General Mc’Clellan, Montgomery Blair, Amasa J. Parker, and John Q. Adams, were not read to the meet ing in Tamuiany Hall. gjjTlie following is the call of the Grand Sachem for the meeting and for the reasons that the designations— Democratic party and Tammany party have become in New York, synonimous appellations, yonr cor respondent will now give you a his tory of the origin ana history of the Tammany Society: TAMMANY SOCIETY; OR, COLUM BIAN ORDER.—Brothers : A regular meeting of the Institution will be held in the Council Chamber of the Great Wigwam on -TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1871, ! at .10 o’clock a. fl, to celebrate the asylum in this from the oppressions of the old country, unitea them selves in an association for mutual benefit and support, in a society to themselves. In those davs of won drous recitals, both in French and English, of the wild character of the Indians in America, they preferred to look among those unsubdued sons of the forest for symbols of their brotherhood 'rather than take them from any English quarter whatever, even though it were American.—• Hence the insignia and names of chiefs. When Thomas Mooney, or Tom Mooney was their chief officer, they concluded in 1805 to apply to the Legislature of the State for a charter for what they called themselves—the Tom Mooney Society, which they Indianized into Tammany Society ; but Tammany is an Irisn bull, for there was no such Indian name in those days known to exist. Their petition to the Legislature was as follows—passed April 9, 1805: Whereas, William Mooney and other inhabitants of the city of New York, have presented a petition to the Legislature setting forth that they, since the year one thousand seven bund - ed and eighty- nine, have associated themselves under the name and description of the “Society of Tammany, or Columbian Order,” for the purpose of affording to the indigent and distressed members of the said As sociation, their widows and orphans and othere who may be found proper objects of their charity. They therefore solicit that the Legislature will be pleased to incorporate by law the said Society for the purpose aforesaid, under such limi tations and restrictions as to the Legis lature shall seem meet. Therefore, Be it enacted by the people of the State of New York represented in Senate and Assembly, That such persons as now are, or from time to time shall become, mem bers of the said Society shall he, and are hereby ordained, constituted and de clared to be a body corporate and po litic, in deed, fact and name, by the name of the Society of Tammany or Columbian Order of New York.” Tammany, having organized thus, has become a great power in the State. The thirteen Sachems of the So ciety at present are, as stated in the programme: Peter B.* Sweeny, Pres! dent of Central Park Commission; Richard B. Conally, City and-County Comptroller; Emanuel B. Hart, Com missioner of Assessments; John J. Bradly, City Chamberlain; Isaac Bell, Commissioner of Public Chari ties; Douglass Taylor, Commissioner of Juries; Samuel B. Garvin, Dis trict Attorney; Matthew P. Brennan, Sheriff of City and County; Charles G. Cornell, Registrar of Croton De partment; A. Oakley Hall, Mayor of the City and Comity; Joseph Dow ling, Justice of Police; Nathaniel Jar vis, Clerk of the Court C. C.; James B. Nicholson, Great Father of the Council of Sachems and Commis sioner of Public Charities; William M. Tweed,- Graud Sachem, and the President of the Board of Public Works. The above constitutes at present the political oligarchy of the Democ racy of this city and State. Like many other bodies founded in “love, hope and charity,” it has undoubtedly grown corrupt as it has grown great, and like all other large centralized bodies, its proceedings and actions should be closely watched by the people.

Georgians to The Rescue. Washington July 8,1871 Editors of the Sun: One week ago General A. R. Wright, of Rome, Judge Hiram Warner and Dr. N. L. Angier, of Atlanta., lion. Thomas Hardeman, of Macon, Col. P. W. Al exander, of-Cohimbus, General A. R. Lawton and Ex-Mayor Anderson, of Savannah, and General A. R. Wright, of Augusta, were summoned by the Democrats to appear before the Ku- Klux Committee. Up to this time only General Wright, of Rome, Dr. Angier, of Atlanta and Mayor An derson, of Savannah, have appeared. The Democrats of the: Committee have summoned, in addition, General John B. Gordon, of Atlanta, General Henry L. Benning, of Columbus, Mr, W. W- Paine, of Savannah and Col John II. Christy, of Athens. Georgia matters are in truly a crit The New York Tribune, commenting on the statements lately made by Gen. Forrest to a newspaper correspondent, and in his testimony before the Congres sional Kn-Klox Committee, indulges in a strain of detraction little calculated to advance the peace and quiet of the coun try, which Mr. Greeley professes to have so much at heart. Such attacks upon the credit of every man who does not testify in support of Greeley’s crazy notions that the Southern States are overran by dis guised men, who whip or murder every man, white and black, who does not agree with them on political questions, will never tend to establish good feeling be tween the different sections of the coun try. The Tribune says: "By all the rules of civilized warfare, and by the law of tho land, Mr. Forrest has no right to the head ont of which these brazen falsehoods ib- sue. He is not a creditable witness on any case of treason or negro-killing; and if, as reported, a committee of Congress has sent for him to give evidence in those matters, the committee has been led thoughtlessly into a grave error.” And again: “If he has any convictions of du ty, they would teach him to conceal the truth and assert its opposite, in any deal ings with the government of the United States.” It is simply nonsense and balderdash to talk, at this time of day, abont Mr. Forrest having “no right to his head.”— It is the fact, and no one knows it better than the editor of the Tribune, that if “by the rules of civilized warfare and the laws of the laud, Jefferson Davis and other “rebel leaders” could have beeu convict ed, they would have shared the ignomin ious doom of Wirz and Mrs. Surratt.— Those unfortunate victims were murdered to appease the cry for blood, on charges trumped up for the' occasion, and “on testimony which would not have convict ed a sheep-killing dog,” but with all its vindictiveness, the Government well knew that the execution of the Confed erate leaders would be a violation of “the rules of civilized warfare and of the laws” of nations, which even the best Govern ment the world ever saw, could not afford to commit. Therefore, it concluded to act “magnauimiously 1” And Mr. Forrest is not a creditable witness, forsooth! The character of Gen eral Forrest as a brave, high-minded and honorable gentleman, needs no defence from us in any community where he is known; nor do we think his character for truth need be defended among honorable men anywhere. He cannot afford to lie even if his moral constitution would per mit it. He has nothing to gain, and ev erything to loose by such a course. But he has • •convictions of duty” to a higher Power .t.an even the Government of the United States, and these convictions, his conscience will not permit him to violate. Against the testimony of General Forrest and the score or more of honorable men who corroborate him, and some witnesses of its own party the Tribune can adduce nothing but the lying statements of a few partisan and subsidized newspapers, and the testimony of worthless men, like Laken and others of the same stripe, who make their statements for their Own ad vancement and reward. And the coarse of the “magnanimious” government has given these wretches a right to expect to be rewarded. Bergen and Settle and Warner, and many others we might name, have been rewarded for just such “servi ces to the government,” The Tribune says the Committee has cofnmitted a grave error in calling For rest, and such as he to testify. In one view they have. If the Committee intend to carry out the real object for which it was raised, to-wit: to furnish further ground on which to intimidate, worry and harass the Southern people into vot ing Radicals into office, or not voting at all, they committed an error, and a grave one, in calling in Forrest and Clanton and others, who,-like them, will tell the whole truth. 1 But if the Committee in tend to accomplish its ostensible purpose, of ascertaining and reporting the true condition of affairs in the South we think they are right not to confine their inves tigation to the statements of nnscrupu- lous and interested adventurers. When the whole truth, and nothing but the truth shall become known and folly be lieved, we may have quiet and good feel ing throughout the country and not be fore. While credence is given to such articles as that from the Tribune, arous ing and keeping alive feelings of indig nation in both sections, neither cordiality or quiet can be expected. , l ' *■ (i ■< threatens to sweep over onr country and obliterate every semblance of civil liber ty and self-government in these United States. This can only be accomplished by closely guarding and jealously preserving the Constitution of the United States and the rights of the several States. Any con nivance at or submission to usurpation must result first, in the weakening and finally in the destruction of our institu tions. The only manner in which the Constitution of the United States can be altered is pointed out in the fifth article of that instrument, and if written con stitutions are not wholly worthless all its provisions must be obeyed and respected. We care not how many proclamations are made or by whom, they cannot make a lie the truth, or a proposed amendment a part of the Constitution, unless in adopting the same, all the provisions of that instrument are obeyed in every par ticular. To say that the so-called 14th and 15fch amendments are enforced as though parts ol' the Constitution is merely to say that sometimes might may qveroome right. During the war men were thrown into forts and common jails, houses were ransacked and destroyed, and mothers and daughters insulted and abused, not for any crimes committed, but merely because it pleased the passing whim or passion of some petty military satrap. If a Democratic convention could not ap prove of these outrages upon the rights of single individuals, how can it now with any degree of consistency endorse an effort to destroy the rights and liber ties of the whole country by the most glaring and barefaced usurpations. J : G We believe that the great, living and vital issue now is: shall we perpetuate our present form of government or con vert it into a despotism ? We are “Bour bons” enough to desire the former, and therefore oppose and will continue to oppose every step tending towards the latter. Those who desire to tuke a “new de parture” are perfectly welcome to go over and join Lands with those who have al ways earnestly, consistently, and we be lieve conscientiously favored a centralized government. The true Democrats of Iowa deserve, as they no doubt will receive, a hearty God speed from their brethren in all sec tions of the Union. From the Cincinnati Commoner, July 1.

The Ioway Democracy. a The late Democratic State Convention of Iowa, passed resolutions favoring the “New Departure.” They were certainly the best prepared and least objectionable of any we have yet seen, but the party in that State averse to any “departure” from principle—unwilling to be sold out to tho negroes and their allies by selfish politi cians, have-called another convention for the purpose of placing the Democracy of the State in its true position before the country. This is right, and must meet the ap proval of every true Democrat. This is This consistent and firm exponent of the true principles of Democracy in its purity is taking stronger hold week after week of the minds of its readers. If the office of an editor is to think in advance of others, it should be intelliuentlv discharged. "Wereuv^........v of the Democrat, the information aud zeal witli which itpromisesto be con ducted, and we recommend it to the men in Missouri who have borne so much outrage and persecution for opinion’s sake. The worst of it is over. Tlie sacrifices for principle al ready made in Missouri have been sufficient to endear the cause of a cheap, simple and responsible form of Federal government to the confi dence of the Democracy. A teacher of that doctrine, and an opponent of the odious centralization which is being attempted by force and fraud located at Washington and extending to the furthest limits of the republic, has a right to a hearing in Missouri. The people of Missouri will not fqil to respond. The present condition there is transient, and the desc6nd- ents of Southern houses who are so numerous and respectable there, will in the end resume the control of the State’s destiny. If we were: to advise the editor of the Democrat, it would be our opinion that lie should calmly and temper ately, but faithfully, adhere to the ancient landmarks and sea marks of Democracy which fence in liberty throughout this country from out ward dangers, and which alone can preserve the shadow of it. All beyond is naked despotism;. will and. pleas ure; false and fraudulent departures; moving up to the last night’s encamp ment of the eonsolidationists, and finally mingling beyond recognition in their ranks. It should be the first care of true friends of liberty and Democracy to separate themselves from their antagonists in thought, speech and action, not, however, cut ting off the possibility of their be coming converted from the error of their ways and doing service among the rank and file untiLfully confirmed in the faith.

Glover is doing finely in this coun ty, under an improved Anode of sow ing, and preparation of soil. If a few more Virginians come in they will make our country “ bud and blos som like the rose.” Our formers are somewhat pressed now, but I think they, will: realize more this year, in money and comfort, than, in any year during the last seven years. Form erly,.by putting in so much cotton, they seemed to think there was no flower commanding the wise man’s attention, “ but the cotton blossom.” There are very few who are mort gaging crops this year ; they seem to work nolens volehs, oh tbeir own ac count, more than formerly'. 1 ! The lbw price or Cotton in -April so discouraged the planters that they gave more than usual breadth to corn aiul cereals, and hence the unprece dented high price of provisions last year is beginning to produce a cornu copia. If the rains continue there will never be such an abundance of pro visions seen, as will grace barns, which will reduce , living'and elevate the Southern staple to its former dig nity. 1 With" this* result the people will have nearly the entire Cotton crop to adorn waste places, and make the amende honorable oh their contracts. The corn and bacon quotations at Cincinnati are quite low, and down pearly to a speeie standard,.‘which is* a good harbinger of the return to good old days of Adam and Eve.— The war demand (transatlantic! has pre t ty much ceased, besides, shy locks at. large ports know that itj will not do to hold for higher prices, as less cot ton and more grain seem to be the rule. The want of confidence and the easy manner in, ,which debts are now paid, compel markets to be strin gent in their terms and time; besides, in buying for cash they get their sup plies 2a to 50 per cent, less than last year.

If ive make a million of bales less this year, it will bring more money than the crop of 1870, because it is on'the principle of the East India Company, who destroyed one-half of their spices once, and got more for the ballance than for a full crop. In stead of destroying, let us improve the homestead, make it attractive and add an increased number of harmless amusements for the young people, and thus beautify and adorn and stop this wearing and skenning out pro cess of the virgin soil, and removing West as the panacea to cure tlie evil. Let our. farmers never he tempted, under the present cotton prices to re lax their rigid economy and launch ontdnto superfluities and; thus entail the same old epidemic of articolo in mortis.
