Seward, General Great Nand °Users. Yew Your, July s.—The following are the material portions of some of the acknow ledgements of the Tammany Society's Writs tlons to celebrate yesterday. President John sen says : Sin i--1 thank you for the cordial Invitation of fee time honored Society of Tammany to participate with them in the celebration of the approaching anniversary of our National Independence. The national tone and marl ntic spirit of the invitation meets my hearty approval. They are indications of a growing piddle sentiment, which, now that the bitter strife of civil war ha. ceased, requires a re newal or pursuits of peace, a return to the Constitution of our fathers, rigid adherent* to its principles, Incrauxed reverence for its sacred obligations, a restored Invigorated and permanent union, and a fraternity or feeling that shall make us a people one and Indissoluble. There can be for the patriot no higher duty, no nobler work, than the obliter-, apron of the passions and prejudicea which, resulting from bar tato aanguluary conflict, have retarded reconciliation and prevented that complete restoration of all the States to their constitutional relation with the Federal Government, which la essential to the peace, unity, strength and prosperity of the nation. Regretting that my public duties will not permit Inc to too present at your celebration, I am, Very respectfully, de., da ;mum Jostasost Gen. Grant aloofly directs his Secretary to esprit* his regret that a pnrsious engagement will oblige him to decline the honor. Secretary Seward wrltes: I rejoice with the Society dud the samdtet of arms has ceased, that the au th ority of the Government has been vindicated, and that the Ingot the Union . now floats triumphantly over every foot of national domain. On the other hand I mourn with the Society that the minket Uniongiven us b y our patriotic forefathers not yet been entirely restored; that eleven soieremb States are denied Is:presentation in the Fed eral Congress, and are not nicogni•el part of the national legialation. Row strove this. We have killed disunion outright, and have killed African slavery with it, end yet we are not completely reunited. if I did not feel assured that the American pace pie cannot surfer so great and fatal a soled** to continue, I should say, as many others do, that we are at a crisis, but I have unbounded or/oedemas in the wisdom and virtue of the American people. It is said, In excuse of the, denial of representation, that the States and their chosen representatives attil continue to be seditioue and disloyal. I ask, is Tennessee disloyal Is Arkamuts seditious, Are the Senators and Representatives of those States disloyal; I desire in this respect that each of the two Bowes or Congress will apply. the Constitutional teat with all rho improvements or legislation noon it, and thus admit those Slats* and representatives who are loyal, and reject only those against whom the crime of disloyalty shall be established. "I believe with the Tammany Society, that the Union was created to be perpetual and that the States are equal under the Constitution, that the restoration of the Union by the - rec ant war ought to bo acknowledged and rasognla. ed by all the Departments of the Federal tkiv ernment; teat a @writ of magnanimity and fraternity should prevail in an our oouncils, and this the South having accepted the ler I eons of the war and relinquished the heroes of secesmou, should just so Mat ea she comes In the attitude of loyalty, and in persons of l o yal and qualified representation, be admitted to her constitutional representation. "I want henceforth and forever no North,no South, no East, no West, no divisions and no sections and no ClnaSeil, but one united and harmonlouspeople." Secretary Welles replied "To the honor of your Society, it has in all times and under all circumstances. In war and la peace, been faithful to the union of States and the rights of the States. At no period since its organism -1.1011 have its teaclunge and servioes been more required &haunt present, when the victorious arms of the republic having suppressed the false theory that the Union can be divided by - secession' or the voluntary withdrawal of a State from its federal relations anti oblige. Dons, we arecompellesi to encounter the op. posite extr compulsory exclusion, by which the centilolists deny to eleven States the representatives in Congress which is guar &mood to them by the Constitution. This doc trine of compulsory exclusion is scarcely less offensive than that of voluntary secession—. each i Walla the perpetuity of the Union. After a long and exhausting war which has cod us so much blood and treasure, the coon. try needs repose, that industry, oominarce and the parts of peace may revive and friend ly relations between the States and peeple may be ref-established.
