The Extra Session The temper of Cbngress and the de signs of the Radical majority were very plainly indicated during the first hours of the present extra session. The half dozen amendments offered to the ndli- Lary reconstruction bill were all of sim ilar purport. The intention is to make sure that the entire South shall be put completely under the dominltion of the nogroes. The military satraps are ex• petted to employ all the power of the armies at their command to ensure the return of Radicals, white or black, to Congress. This is to be i done by anni hilating existing civil governments, by disfranchising the great body of white voters, by making the arbitrary will of the military satraps supreme, and by binding the hands of the Supreme Court so that there can be no interference with the combined Congressional and mili• Lary despotism, no odds how outrageous or utterly subversive of liberty and law their acts may be. The great prize is the next President. To secure the election of one of their class the leaders of the Republican party are prepared to resort to the most des perate expedients? Recent elections in the North show that they cannot de pend upon the votes of the white men of this section any longer. Without the ability to control the electoral votes of the Southern States, they know they must be most signally defeated. Hence their determination to make perfectly sure of the South. If the Military Re construction bill as passed at the last session of Congress, hail been carried out according to its express provisions, a vast majority of the white men of the South would have registered and voted. J Ind they resisted its enforce ment and refused to comply with its terms, harsh and unconstitution al its they are, there would have been no July session of the i.lllllp Congress. The very willingness of the Southern people to accept the sit uation has resulted in the gathering of the gang of desperate revolutionists, now sitting like a set of wretched con spirators against the rights of the peo ple and our form of free government, in the Capitol at Washington. No one who reads the account of the first day's proceedings can fail to see what is the real object of the set of treasonable disunionists who are en gaged in plotting for party success at the expense of all the great material and political interests of the nation. To maintain their hold on power, they are basely preparing to defeat the will of a vast majority of the white men of the .ITnited States, by consolidating against them the votes of all the ignorant and degraded negroes in the country. That is the one sole object of the Congress now convened in extra session. No one who reads the proceedings which we pub lish elsewhere can doubt it for a moment, The proposed amendment to the Military reconstruction bill, Sumner's universal negro SU trrage bill, his proposal for con fiscation, the refusal to admit the Con gressmen elected by so vast a majority in Kentucky—allAese things point to the same end ; and all go to show in a most unmistakable manner the fixed purpose of the fanatical majorityin Con gress. We ask every one to read, being sure, if he reads, that he cannot fail to he convinced. The Kentucky Congressmen The refusal to admit the Congressmen who were elected from Kentucky by such an overwhelming majority is a most high handed outrage. The Radi cals have just us much right to exclude any one of the Pennsylvania delegation. The two States stand in precisely the same situation. Kentucky neverseceded any more than did Pennsylvania. The rights of the people to chose their own representations are precisely the same as ours. There is not the slightest dif ference in any respect, so far as the rights of the members elect, the rights of their constituents and the require ments of the Constitution are concerned. The majority can arbitrarily refuse to admit the members of any Northern State with equal propriety, and the time may not be far distant when that will be attempted. It may be that within live years the Radicals will find themselves dependent upon Congress men elected by the negroes of the South for a majority. When they are placed in such a position, as we believe they will speedily be, if their present system of rule is continued, they will not scruple to refuse admission to seats in Congress of delegates duly elected from other States than Kentucky. 'Phe right Is the same, and it will be just as easy to plead necessity as it is to-day, or as it was at any period during the war. We noisy yet see the majority of while voters of the great middle States dis franchised by a combination of New England Yankees with Negro Congress men frOm the military districts of the South. The Radicals have already per petrated outrages equally as gross as that would be ; and have been encour aged to do so by the, quiet submis sion of a people who seem to have lost the spirit of freemen. The Kentucky delegation may all be admitted, even during the present session; but not until the Radicals have made their point by asserting their power and putting forward their claim of right, as they have already done. DoeS any one suppose a single One of these Ken tucky delegates would ever be permitted to take a seat it his presence would de stroy the dominance of those who now rule the country through the agency of the despotism they have set up? Let their repeated displacement of Demo. crats fairly and honestly elected, and their utter refusal to admit any but ex treme Radicals from the South answer. The Doylesto►on Democrat The Doylestown Democrat comes to us this week in an entire new dress. It is one of the largest and most prosperous papers in the State. Its editor and pro prietor, Om W. W. H. Davis, is a man of marked ability, and his paper gives ,abundant evidence p,(41/.. 'Radteal Assaults on Aidge Sharawood. r Republican newspapers in Pennsyl vania seem to be unable to conduct a political campaign in any other than a disreputable manner. They do not dis cuss the principles of the two great political parties, because they date not enter upon such a controversy. They know and feel that there is an element of conservatism in this State whicit stinctively revolts against the extre doctrines of their party. Ever since the ,Republican party has had an existence its leaders in Pennsylvania have per sisted in attempting to blind the people to the real designs of the organization. In the conduct of political campaigns they have relied entirely upon exciting the baser passions of the multitude. To that end they have invented the most barefaced falsehoods in relation to Dem ocratic candidates, and have distorted their acts in the most reckless and shameful manner. When Gen. M'Clel lan ran for President that policy was pursued. The same course was follow ed when Gen. Davis and Col. Linton were candidates for State offices. Re 'publican newspapers and stump orators; while professing to be the especial cham pions of the soldiers, did not scruple to promulgate the basest slanders against officers as gallau and deserving as any this country has produced, merely be cause they were candidates of the Dem ocratic party. No men have been more belied than Judge Woodward and Hies ter Clymer. The floodgates of billings gate were let loose upon them. In the Hon. George Sharswood, the Democratic party presents a candidate so able, so pure, so eminently fit for the position of Judge of our Supreme Court, and so well and favorably known to the people of Pennsylvania, that it is con ceded by honest Republicans that he can not fall to be elected. Yet even he is not to escape from the envenomed tongues and pens of the scurvy politi cians who do the dirty work of the Radicals in Pennsylvania. Just now all the Republican newspapers of the Slate are busily engaged in misrepre senting an opinion delivered by him as to the constitutionality of makinggreen backs a legal tender for debts contract ed before the present paper currency was created. Who can doubt that Judge Sharswood was right in holding the opinion that a debt which it was stipu lated should be paid in gold, ought not to be discharged by the tender of de preciated paper? Is not such an opin ion sound both in law and in morals? That was the extent of his opinion. It went no further. It did not interfere with any contracts made after the paper currency was created. It was only an attempt, a manly and proper attempt, to protect creditors in legal rights, which no Court in the civilized world had ever before questioned. The denunciation of Judge Shars wood for the delivery of such an opinion cannot alienate from him a single sup porter. Capitalists will see in his inde pendence of character, and his un swerving devotion to great fundamental legal principles, evidence that under his rulings all their rights will be protected ; and the mass of the people will rally to his support, because they know that he will stand as a barrier against all attempted encroachments upon their liberties. That lie will be triumphant ly elected we firmly believe. The peo ple of Pennsylvania cannot afford to have upon the bench of their Supreme Court a majority of men who are in sympathy with those who have shown an utter disregard of all established law. They desire that the majesty of the law shall be preserved inviolate ; and they will not permit a New England Yankee of ultra radical proclivities to be made its interpreter. The Shortest Road to Negro Suffrage. There is much meaningless twaddle in the long string of resolutions adopted by the Republican State Convention which nominated the Connecticut Yankee, Henry \V. Williams, for Judge of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. There is one of them, however, which is plain and very significant when read in the light of occurring events. The seventh of the series is in the following words : .hYsatre,/, That, warned by past misfor tunes, we ask that the Supreme Court of the State, be placed in harmony with the polit ical of the people, to the end that the Court may never again, by unjust de cisions, seek to set aside laws vital to the not ion, nor imperil the safety of the public securities; nor impair the operation of the bounty pension inal tax laws, which were required for the public defense, nor in any way thwart measures which were essential to the public protection, but that, on the other handl, it vl,l>/ bCCOIIIC and remain 0 lit 0101 faithjai interpreter if the liberal :ipird of the aye, a bulu•rnr/r if public _faith and an impartial '01(1 fearless exponent of the CqoUt rightB ry man. The sense, the spirit of the real mean ing of the above resolution is compress ed into the words which we have itali cised. It means, that the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania must, by the election of a Yankee Judge, with radi cal Yankee principles, be so chang ed that there shall be no opposition 'made by it to the enforcement of Sum ner's negro suffrage bill in this State, or of any other outrageous enactment of the Rump Congress which may be made to apply to Pennsylvania. That 'the Radicals fully intend to force negro suffrage and negro equality upon all the Staten by Congressional enactment, we have no reason to doubt. If they have the right to force it upon the States of the South, they have an equal right to force it upon the States of the North. If they knowingly violated the consti tution, by forcing negro suffrage on the South for the purpose of maintaining their hold on power, does any one sup pose they will hesitate to enact a law making the negroes of Pennsylvania voters, whenever they may deem such a law necessary to enable them to con— trol this State? Suppose Congress should pass such a law, how would we prevent its enforce ment? We might resist it by force of arms, and if necessary we would do so, but our only sure protection from that, or any other gross outrage which the Itunip Congress might be disposed to perpetrate, is the Supreme Court of our State. Under its sheltering aegis, so long as it continues as pure as it has been in the past, our rights and liberties are secure. With a Yankee fanatic. like Henry W. Williams, on the bench we might rest assured that the inde pendence and the high character of our chief judicial tribunal would be gone forever. He would gladly lend Ids in fluence to aid in the en fore , went if any act of the present Radical Congress. The election of Henry W. Williams would be a direct and very short road to the establishment of negro suffrage and negro equality in Pennsylvania. Those who desire to see our elections and all our State affairs taken charge of by the Radical Congress will vote for the Yankee candidate for Supreme Judge; all others will vote for that distinguished Pennsylvanian, George W. Sharswood. A Woman Killed on the Lebanon Valley IMMIEt= The Lebanon Courier says: A vagrant Irish woman, who had been for several days about Lebanon, was run over by a train of cars, at this place, on Sunday morn ing, and cut to pieces. she must have been instantly killed. She was probably in liquor at the time, as a bottle of whisky was found near where the accident occur- red. She was about thirty years of age. Coroner Borguer held an inquest over the remains• Gen.

Every American citizen ought to read . it once a year at least. _For a number of years past, some ,t3ix or seven at least, all of this singular old document seems to have been forgotten, except a single clause, containing the five words, "all men are created equal ;" and these have constantly been wrongly quoted as follows : "All men are created free and equal." All else of this really match less production, which was written by the founder of the Democratic party, and which was always cherished by it, appears to have -been completely ig nored by the dominant party in the North for the simple reason, as we have good cause for believing, that it could not be construed to apply especially to the negro, to the exclusion of white men. Yet, as we read it, with the jingling of bells, and the noise of fire works sounding in our ears, we cannot help but think that it describes with great accuracy the doings of the tyrants of our own day. Suppose some enthusiastic lover of liberty in ten States of what we were once accustomed to call "Our glorious Union," should undertake to set out the grievances of the people of that section of our country. What terms could he employ more perfectly suitable than those used in the antiquated document to which we refer. Might he not say of the Radical Rump Congress, as our free forefathers said of the King of England, and with equal truth, only transposing terms : The history of the present Congress is history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the establish ment of an ab.volate, tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. It has refused its assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. It has forbidden our Governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing mportance, unless suspended in their operation till its assent should be obtained; and, when so suspended, it has utterly neglected to attend to them. It has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature; a right inestimable to them,/and formidable to tyrants only. It has dissolved representative houses, for opposing, with manly firmness, its invasion of the rights of the people. It has refused, for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the le g islative powers, incapable of annihilation , have returned to the peo ple at large for their exercise; the State remaining, in the meantime, exposed to all the dangers of convulsions within. It has endeavored to prevent the popula tion of these Slates by creating at , alarming condition of affairs in our midst, and ren dering property insecure. It has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing :its assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. It has 'nude judges dependent on its will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. It has erected a multitude of new offices, and seat hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. It has kept zunong us, in time of peace, standing artuk , s, without the consent of our legislatures. It has affected to render the military in dependent of, :knl superior to, the civil power. It has combined with others to sub j ject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledg-d by its laws ; giving its assent to acts of pretended legislation. For quartering lat•ge bodies of armed troops among, us. For protecting them, by a mock trial, front punishment for any murders which they should commit on tie inhabitants of these States. For cutting of our trade with all parts of the world. For imposing taxes on us Ivithout our con sent. For depriving us, in many cases, of the benelits of trial by jury. All these clauses of the Declaration of Independence might he quoted with overwhelming force against the party in power, and not by the South alone, but with almost equal truth by the peo ple of the North. With what remark able fitness could we of the North use the following language of that sacred instrument in reference to the acts of the usurping and tyrannical Radical Congress. The changing of a few un important words would wake the charg es, so spiritedly uttered by our bold and liberty-loving ancestors, equally appli cable to the present day. We can say truthfully of the corrupt cabal of politi cal adventures now convened iu extra session at Washington : They have abolished the free system of American laws in neighboring States, es tablishing herein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render at once, an (4,\ ample and a fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into other States. They havo away our charters, abolished our most valuable laws and altered, fundamentally, the form of out government. - They are at this time employing large armies or soldiers to complete the work of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation. They have excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and have endeavored to turn loose upon the inhabitants of the Southern States, the merciless negro savages, whose rule of warfare is an undistinguished de struction of all ages. sexes, and conditions. The parallel we have drawn is no fancy picture. It is but a faint representation of an existing reality. Yet we patiently submit to grievances which the men of the revolution justly deemed too intol erable to be borne. With the powel to right all these wrongs at the ballot-box, we have persistently neglected to do so. Inspired by a spirit of fanatical and un reasoning hate, we have given up our own liberties to gratify a mean spirit of revenge against a people in whose veins runs the same blood which tills our own, and to live in concord and amity with whom is demanded alike by our politi cal and material interests. \Vas ever any people so blind and so utterly and madly foolish? Surely, unless we are determined upon self-destruction, the return of reason cannot be long delayed The Missing Plank Some people wonder why the Repub lican Convention of this State failed to insert a plank in their platform favor ing the striking of the word white from the Constitution of Pennsylvania. We have it from the best possible authority that the Committee on Resolutions deemed it unnecessary, after Mr. Mc- Pherson, the Clerk of the lower House of the Rump Congress, had read the seventh resolution, to say one word more on the subject of negro suffrage or uegro equality. It was and is distinctly understood that Congress will pass a law abolishing all distinctions between negroes and whites in this and other Northern States, and that the Yankee Judge, Henry W. Williams, is, if elect ed, prepared to back it up with all the power and influence of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. That is how it (~tine that a most important plank was omitted in preparing the Republican plat form. ire• !mile Nominations The Penns:racy of Cambria county have renominated Col. .las. P.

Thad. fitiii , ens Instate Upon Biing furled With Negroes. The Express has discovered another of those remarkable acts which it pre! dicta will add the:ll:ultra of immortal re' no:arn to the name of Thaddeus Stevens ! It • admits that he never made any "special professions of `piety;',' but it might have gone further`and have said with truth that he has been all his life a scoffer at religion and a reviler of sacred things, Still the Express thinks the old sinner will be saved, because, to use its own language: "He has always recognized what all Christians admit in the abstract to be a fundamental principle of Christianity, that "God is no respecter of persons,, - but in every nation he that feareath him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him ;" that " he bath made of one blood all the nation of men to dwell on the face of the earth ;" and that " the rich and poor meet together and the Lord is maker of theta all." Nobody doubts that Thaddeus Stevens has always been in favor of negro equality, and here, where his domestic arrangements are •so well known, his practical recognition of his pet theory is perfectly well understood. But, Mr. Stevens has given another exemplification of the faith that is in him. The Express thus sets it forth as demanding the admiration of the world : Several years ago, when the Lancaster Cemetery was incorporated, Mr. Stevens purchased two lots, for which a deed was duly executed. Some years later, in look ing over his papers, he noticed, for the first time, the clause prohibiting the interment of colored people in the Cemetery. He at once reconveyed the lots to the company, with his reasons, and asked that they be put upon the record. A short time ago he pur chased a couple of lots in Woodward lEll Cemetery, and when the deeds were handed to him he noticed a similar clause excluding the burial of people of colon. The brave old man declared that he could not consent to have his bones laid in a oametery where any of God's children were excluded for no fault of their own, and he promptly returned the deeds. lie then, only a few days ago, selected:la lot in "Shreiner's Cemetery," where no such distinction is made among the dead, and there will the dust of the Old Commoner repose—not, we trust, however, until he has seen the great work of recon structing the nation, on an enduring basis of liberty and equal rights, which he has so consistently labored for, triumphantly con summated. There are few men, indeed, who have given to the world such open and noto rious evidences of a belief in negro equality as Thaddeus Stevens has done. A personage not of his race, a female of dusky hue, daily walks the streets of Lancaster, when Mr. Stevens is at home. She has presided over his household for years. Even by his own party friends she is constantly spoken of as Mrs. Ste vens, though we fancy no rights of mother church ever gave her a claim to the title. It is natural for men to desire to sleep their last sleep with those they have loved in life. If Thaddeus Stevens in sists upon being buried side by side with the woman he is supposed to have taken to his bosom, it is entirely a mat ter of taste. But, why did he not pur- chase a lot in the African burying ground at once? There no white man's bones would have jostled his, and she, who has so long been his most intimate associate, might have been gathered to his side without exciting public scan dal. lion. James Moore Wayne Judges of the United States Supreme Court, died on the sth inst., of typhoid fever. The great age and failing strength of the Judge had for some time past betokened approach ing dissolution, so th , tt his death, which took place at his residence in Washington yesterday afternoon, was not altogether unexpected. Judge Wayne was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1757, and was nearly eighty years of age at the time of his death. Under the instruction of private tutors he received a primary education at home, anti was after wards sent to Princeton College (then Nas sau Hall), in New Jersey, where he gradu- - uteri with honors. Returning home he engaged in the study of law in the office of John 1". Noel, one of the leading lawyers of Savannah; but removed to the North a few months afterwards in consequence of the death of his father. Repairing to New Haven, Conn., he became a pupil of Judge Chauncey, under whose tuition he smut obtained admission to the bar. Returning to his native place he commenced prac ticing law, and his admitted talents soon won for hint a large and lucrative practice. Brought before the public in a prominent inanner by his profession, it was not long before he entered into politics, and after a lapse of three or four years he was returned to the State Legislature by the opponents of the " Belief hIW," which had then pro duced considerable excitement and oppo sition throughout Georgia. The ability he displayed as a legislator obtained for hint a re election, and he would have been return ed a third time had he not positively declined to become a candidate. He 'With next Mayor of Savannah, and in 1824 was elected One of the Judges of the Supremo Court of Georgia by the Legislature of that State. As a Judge the deceased gave general satisfaction, and was known in his State as an upright, impartial and able jurist, many of his decisions being even now accepted as law in his State. Ile presided in the Su preme Court for five and a hall years, when he resigned to take his seat in Congress, to which he had been eleeted in 1559. ' As a member of the House of Represen tatives Judge Wayne obtained great repu tation. A fluent debater and skilled logi cian, as well as a learned jurist, he soon took a foremost position. While admitting the constitutionality of-protection, he earn estly favored free trade, as being of sterling benefit to the country. Ile was very deter mined in his opposition to the re chartering of the United States Bank, claiming that while it could be constitutionally establish ed, it conferred dangerous political powers in the hands of a few men. One of the ablest speeches on this subject was delivered by him on the 16th of March, 1532. During the same year the celebrated nullification laws of South Carolina were passed; and in his annual message, in December, President Jackson mentioned the opposition of that State, and designating it as endangering the integrity of the Union. Soon after the President issued his famous proclamation, which was met by a storm of tierce dentin elation on the part of Mr. Calhoun and the Southern democrats. Throughout this po litical war, Judge Wayne stood firmly by the side of General Jackson, defending and approving his course, and voting for the Force Bill, which was passed in Jan uary, 1833. For so acting he was strong. ly denounced by a portion of his own party, but upon returning home and can vassing his district he was re-elected to Congress,by an increased majority. term had expired Jtn)ge Wayne's political lilt ceased. In the year Tell he was appointed by President Jackson to fill the vacancy in the Supreme Court of the United States caused by the death of .Tudge Johnson. Of his course during the past thirty-two years, as one of the Su preme Court Judges, it would be unneces sary here to speak. His decisions were generally accepted as fair and impartial, and are daily quoted in courts of law. When the rebellion broke out he remained steadfast to the Union, although his native State and mauyof his relatives had engaged in it. Soon after his return to Savannah from New Haven Judge Wayne married Miss Mary J. Campbell, of Richmond, ti a., with whom he led a long and happy life. Fiendish Outrage and Murder by Negroes in North Carolina A fiendish outrage and murder was per petrated in Janes county, North Carolina, a few days since, by three negroes. The negroes went to the house of Mr. Reeves Fosene, and making an attack upon the family, captured them and shut them up in an out-house on the premises. They then robbed the house of all its contents, and not becomingatisfied, set upon the family and comtiitted the most cruel murders over recorded. The first vic tims were Mr. Foscue and .his wife, who were taken out and murdered before the eyes of their children. They then seized a daughter of Mr. Roselle, and her child, an infant ahout five months' old, and after snatching the ohild from her arms and killing it, murdered the mother. A young daughter of the family caught up a child and started to run away from the scene, when she was fired upon by the miscreantsand herself and the child both wounded. She continued on her way, however, with out being further molested, and succeeded in reaching a neighbor's house some two miles and a half distant from the scene of the murder. Upon examination the child was found to be dead. Sheriff Craven, of Newbern, North Carolina, has left there with a posse of men, and a meeting of the citizens of that city was called on the same day to concert measures to aid in the ar rest of the murderers of the Foscue family.

The Tammani Society or New York. 'How the Democracy Celebrated the Yearm. 'Dedication of a New Wigwam, • The New York Herald furnishes an ex tended report of the dedication of the new Wigwam, which is being built by the De mocracy of New York. We make a few extracts: At nine o'clock on the morning of the 4th the sachems, braves and -warriors as sembled in the temporary council chamber, Masonic Hall, and soon after the doors were thrown open for the admission of in vited guests, friends of the society, and the Democrats of New York. At ten o'clock, under the guidance and direction of the special committee, the members, with their friends and invited guests, assembled in procession opposite Masonic Hall, and preceded by the band of the Seventh regiment, marched to the site upon which the Democrats of Tammany propose erecting their new council cham bers. We cannot do better hero than intro duce a DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING The hall, which will be erected under the superintendence of Mr. Thomas R. Jackson, architect, is to contain committee rooms, an elegant concert room, library and club room. The structure will be three stories high, with a frontage of one hundred and twenty•two t-et deep. The material to be used will consist of red brick and marble. There will be a basement which may be rented as store. Opening from Fourteenth street there will be three entrances. The library will be thirty-two feet by forty. Adjoining this apartment will be the concert room, with a ceiling thirty-two feet high ; the approach to this satle being by an entrance close to the Academy of Music. Some idea of the size of this apart ment may be formed when we state that it will be frfty-two feet wide and seven ty-four feet deep. It will contain a stage, a gallery and about half-a-dozen private boxes. From eight hundred to one thous and persons may be seated in this hall.— Dressing rooms for ladies and gentlemen will be on the second floor. The principal hall where, we suppose, the democrats who still adhere to Tammany, will in futureas semble, is to be one hundred and four feet front, one hundred and ten feet deep and filly feet high. A platform at one end of the ball will give accommodation to about one hundred persons. It will communicate with the committee rooms by means of a staircase, and a circular gallery running round three sides of the hall will add to the utility of this room for public meetings. It is calculated that this main hall will ac commodate no less than three thousand five hundred persons. A pediment on the cen tre of the building will conspicuously bear the words :—" Tammany Society ;" on ei ther side "1763" and "1867," while a niche will display the statue of an Indian more than life size. It is believed the cost of erecting the building will be something in the neighborhood of e 300,000. LAYING THE STONE. Shortly after ten o'clock Mayor Hoffman, wearing the insignia of the Tammany So• ciety, and followed by several members of that body, reached the spot selected for lay ing the loundation. The announcement that this ceremony would take place on the anniversary of the nation's independence drew together a crowd of spectators, who had collected on Third avenue and Four• teenth street. The baud discoursed music iu the intervals of the proceedings. The unclouded glories of the day and the his- torical and national memories which it was calculated to call up lent more effect to the scene than could be given to it by the mere accessories of Bags or music.

'On laying the stone John T. Hoffman, Grand :Sachem, spoke as follows, amid the cheers of the assemblage: 13rothers and Friends—ln the name of Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, and by direction of the Council of Sachems, I proceed to lay the corner stone of a new hall which will, for the next half-century at least, be the headquarters of the democ racy of New York, where the great prin ciples of civil yid religious liberty, consti tutional law and national unity, which form the greatcorner stones of the republic, will always be advocated and maintained. The anniversary of the birthday of Ameri can Independence has been well chosen for the ceremony. Standing here to-clay, and recollecting that "liberty is our life," let us reaffirm and redeelare the sentiments of the "Great 'Declaration," and renew our pledge to erect here before the next anni versary an edifice which, in the greatness of its proportions and the perfection of all its parts, shall be emblematic of that per fect union of States and of people upon which depends the peace, prosperity and happiness of the American nation. (Cheers.) Al. the conclusion of this speech Mayor Hoffman announced that they would pro ceed to Irving Dall, where the Declaration of Independence would be read and speeches delivered by eminent speakers. The pro cession then reformed and marched to Irving Hall. On the conclusion of the ceremony of laying the corner stone the Sachems, war riors and braves, of the Columbian Order, marched in procession from the ground to Irving Dail, where the remainder of the programme of the day's ceremonies were to be curried out. As the members entered the hall the Seventh Regiment Band ((Ira stationed at the entrance, played some national airs, which elicited loud up. plause from the large crowd who had as sembled to witness the bounding of a new wigwam destined as the future shrine of the worshippers at the democratic altar. The exercises within the building consisted of an oration by Gulian C. Verplanek, the reading of the Declaration of Independence by John E. Itnrrill, the reading of an ode written for the occasion by Be Witt Van Buren, interspersed with music by the band, and at the finale a liberal supply of refreshments, solid and liquid, were served out iu the basement of the building, to which Sachems, warriors and braves and invited guests did full ju,stice. The hall, tinder tue able management of Mr. Douglas Taylor, was very fancifully decorated with American flags. From the centre of the roof, radiating in every direction, was gaily' colored bunting, while along the galaries the Stars and Stripes were draped fanlike, the blue stars appearing in the centre pieces. The rostrum was covered by a magnificent silk flag with deep yellow fringes. At the back of the platform were ranged the stan dards of the society. An immense flag was spread across the rear of the platform, over and on either side of which were the follow ing motto centre pieces: ONE EUENTRY, ONE CONsTITUTION 1776 ON 4: DESTINY. 1467 Under this was the following CIVIL LIBERTY THE GLORY OF MAN On the right was the following motto "The Democratic Party—Upon its union and success depends the future of the re public. He who would seek to lower lts standard of patriotism and principle or dis tract its councils is an enemy to the coun try. On the left of the platform was another motto, as follows: "The Tammany Society—Founded in 17F9; in its very foundation Identified with the establishmeutof the Union; ever faith ful to its obligations, she has added another proof of her devotion by sending forth her sons to protect and maintain it." Mayor Hoffman and his associate Sachems, braves and warriors appeared on lobe platform in the regalia of the Columbia Order. There was a very numerous at tendance of the Order, among whom were Judges Monell, Garvin, Hearne, Alker, Russel ; Sachems James B. Nicholson, William M. Tweed, Peter B. Sweeny, Richard B. Connelly, Isaac Bell, Thomas J. Barr, General Frederick Conkling, John E. Burrill, Douglass Taylor, A. Oakey Hall, and a host of others. The Declaration of Independence was read by Hon.:John E. Burrill. The delivery of it was clear in utterance, well empha sized, its most noted passages pointedly dwelt on, eliciting the applause of the audi ence. When he had concluded the audience gave three hearty cheers, the band playing "Hail Columbia." Hon. G n C. Verplanck delivered a most lible and eloquent address, rehearsing the history of the Society, giving sketches of a number of its many very distinguished members, and concluded as follows: Let me, honored Grand Sachem, and you Sons of St. Tammany, again congratulate you on this auspicious occasion. The hall you are about to rear is, I trust, destined to Witness the festive anniversaries of the So ciety and the great gatherings of our elect ors during many years of peace and pros perity, under the guardianship of recovered and unimpaired constitutional freedom.— Yet haply it maybe—may Heaven avert so fearful a calamity!—that hereafter some wide-spread delusion may for a time sepa rate you and the principles you maintain from the confidence of a majority of the people of our land; that these sacred prin ciples, and the rights and liberties which they proclaim and support, may for a time prostrati3 . in the dust, and be trampled upon by the foot of usurping and un scrupulous power. In such a crisis, 'if it must come, that ball will become as it were a lofty watch-tower on the works of some impregnable fortress, defying every assault, though all around, far and wide, is ravaged by an enemy. On that solitary tower your chiefs and your mighty men :will stand, to watch, to guard, to raise the loud alarm on every approach of danger, and, when the sere hotrr of liberation ar rives, then to BUMS:13011 the people to vin dicate their rights. Then fear not. Have no dread no doubt of the result. The people will recognize that voice of truth and of power which in days past had roused them from wild and fevered. dreams. No; that call cannot be vain. They will throng to the rescue. They will rally under your time honored banner. The thick clouds of delusion will roll away like the morning mist before the glorious beams of the rising sun. Then will that hall re sound with the songs of triumph. Letters from President Johnson, Secre tary Seward, Gov. English, of Connecticut, and other prominent Democrats throughout the country, were read. Addresses were then delivered by S. S. Cox and A. Oakey Hall. On the conclusion of the latter address, Grand Sachem Hoff man called for three cheers for the "Union, the Constitution and the old Democracy" —" that never betrayed the flag." At the call the whole assemblage rore and gave three cheers and a " tiger " with a force and will that brought back to n;iemm7 the echoes of the Old Wigwam. The band then struck up the " Star Spangled Banner," to the strains of which the meeting dispersed, Grand Sachem Douglas Taylor conducting the invited guests to the refreshment saloon. There, after a good time generally, closed the ceremonies and exercises of laying the foundation stone of the new Wigwam, where some future ivrir horse or leading Sachem will from time to time rule the tierce democracy. TUE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS Extreme Radical Measures to be Adopt ed.—The Kentucky Delegation Ex eluded. Both Houses of Congress assembled at noon on Wednesday.
