THE VVEBt~}'ll‘}JR ME F.'l‘ING.
The great room at Dgasonic Hall, in the city
of New-York, was filled to overflowing on_ the
evening of the 28th inst., by those friends of
DADHEL \VEBs'1‘r:rt, who feel disposed to present
him as a candidate for the next Presidency. It
will be seen from the Resolutions adoptetl hytlie
meeting, that this proceeding is not iriteiidctl to
forestall public opinion on this subject, or to dic-
tate to the \Vhigs throughout the.co,untry, who
shall be the candidate ofllie party. It is merely
designed to express a preference for M r. ‘Veb-
ster's nomiuation—but at the same time, loin-
vite the friends of Mr. Clay, Gen. Harrison, and
such other candidates as may be proposed, to
assemble in like manner, and recommend their
favorites to the consideration ofthe public. The
friends of all parties, notwitlistanding, uniting iii
the pledge given by the friends of Mr. VVebster,
to abide the result of a National Convention on
that question, or to adopt any other course which
a majority of the \Vliigs in Congress may re-
commend‘ their political friends to pursue, in or-
der to produce a fair expression of the senti-
ments of the Whig party on this subject. Ari
address prepared for the occasion, was received
with the greatest at-clarriatioii ; and the follow-
ing resolutions were uiiaiiimoiisly adopted :
1. Resolved, Thatwe do heartily approve the
address now read, and warmly recommend it to
the perusal ofthe American People.
‘2. Resolved, That in the judgment of this
meeting. it is the duty of Congress to provide a
remedy for the existing einbarrassinents in the
currency of the country, and that we trust the
approaching session will not close, until they
shall have prepared the way for a return to specie
payments in place of the present unnatural and
dangerous expedient.
3. Resolved, That we approve of the follow-
ing sentiments of Mr. \Vebster, “ I profess to be
a hullioriist iii_ the usual ’aud accepted sense of
that wortl—-I am for a solid specie basis for our
circulation, arid for specie as a part cf the ‘cir-
culation so far as it may be practicable and con-
veuieut—I am for giving no vziliie to paper
merely as paper-—l abhor paper, that is to sax;
irredeeriiablc paper, paper that may not be cou-
verteil into gold and silver, at the will of the
holder.” ~
4. Resolved, That we approve the dctermiria—
tion expressed by Mr. '\Vcbstcr in his place in
in the Senate, not to go for a National Bank
until the public voice should clearly demand it.
5. Resolved, Tliat a tree is known by its fruits.
so have the policy, measures, and principles of
the late and present atlmiiiistrations of the Gen-
eral Goveruinent, been completely tested by
ihetr results. The nation lies paralized and
prostrate before them. ,
G. Rcsolved, That the experience of the last
few years has tleiiionstrated that. uiitler our Go-
vcrnmcnt,_,as under all others of which history
has furnished examples, the Executive depart-
riiciit istliatbraiicli most liable to corruption and
abuse-—that branch which in its own nature pos-
sesscs latent energies tll0.‘:'l. difiiult to control by
express written provi.-rions and that therefore the
people cannot exercise too much caution in their
selection of a Chief Magistrate.
'7. Resolved. Tli,<it the only constitutional
remedy in the l1Zll’l'lS ofthe people for the evils
which prevail, consists in the sound exercise of
the right of voting—tlie ballot box, being the
great instrument by which a peaccftil yet effi-
cieiit stop may he put to the flood of calamity
which is sweeping over the length and breadth
ofthe land.
8. Resolved, That in the band of illustrious
citizens, who in despite ofobloquy, proscriptions,
anil executive tyranny have so nobly arraved
themselves in defence of the constittitihn and of
souml American principles, the name of none is
uiore conspicuoustliaii that ofDaiiicl \Vebster—
a name which owes its lustre, not to faiiiily—
not to wealtli-—not to mean trucklingto power-
not to time serving expedients-—-but to an
honest application by its successor, oftranscend-
ant abilities in the cause of popular Government
—_to an eloquence unsurpassed in power—-to a
wisdom, as practical as it is coinprel:ensive—to
a uioilcratiori in coiiucil equalled only by its
firmness of purpose, and to.a steady, uudeviat-ing
and enligliteiied devotion to the preservation of
the Constitution in its purity, and of the rirrlits
and best interests of the whole country. D
9. Resolved, That in view of the place occu-
pied by Mr. \Vebster iii the confidence and
affections of the American people, we deem it
right respectfully to call the attention ofthe na-
tion to him as a fit candidate for our sulfrages at
the next Presitlciitial election, sincerely believ-
ing that by his election to the Presidency, we
should afford at once, a proof and (I pledge to‘
the country an-l to the world, that the dominion
ofirresponsible power among us, was at an end-—
that the reign of law and sound piinciples was
triumphantly established, and that the American
people are sound to the core in their devotion to
Constitutional liberty. R
10. Resolved, That we hold it morally and
politically right and expedient——aiid that it is
due to the open and manly confidence which
should cliaiacterize our citizens in their coin-
munications on political subjects with each other,
that we should thusdeclare our preferciiceiindcr
existing circumstances for the distinguished
statesuianjust named——a man whom the countrv
respects as one of its chiefest ornameriis, and one
of its shining lights—a worthy son of liberty, who
side by side with the illustrious Clay has stood
fo.rcmos_t-in the ranks Of the \Vliigs, and given
liirriself tip to the exposition and defence oftlieir
principles ;.and that we pledge ourselves, in case
the ’V_Vliigs_should adopt. him as their candidate,
l0 (10 e.V8t'y thing to promote his election. that is
‘ consistent with tlie.r.-haracterof honest Frceincn
conteniliiig for their rights.
11. Resolved, That ‘while we thus express
tlclir preference in the existing state ofthiugs for
‘ r. VVcbste,r._We mean not to separate ourselves
train OUT P0lIlIc_al friends here or elsewhere, but
hereby announce our determination to abide the
result nfa National Convention on that question,
or to adopt any other course .which a majority of
the \Vhigs in Congress may recommend their
political friends to pursue, in order to produce a
fair expression of the seiitinieuts'of the Whig
patty on this subject.
DEMOCRACY .-st». 11.
\Ve have already published, in various ex-
tracts froiii other papers, so many specimens of
the transparent democracy of the last Legisla-
ture, that the task we contemplated in the out-
set is very much abridged; and inasmuch as
our proposed work has in the main, been antici-
pated by some ofour more competent. coutcmjto
‘ralries, we shall coucliide our essay, under the
-present title, with this ‘article ; purposing how-
ever, to give a raiidom shot froi_ri_tiine to time, as
thoughts occur and oppor't'uii.ity offers‘: at that
prcciotis set of patriots in our last "great Sashe-
driiri, who have christened themselves “ the
democracy." By the way, we think they must
have arrived at their name by pretty much the
same kind offigure. of speech by which we de-
nominate a real Guinea negro ,a mow-ball;
“ lucus, a non lucenclo."
As our readers will find in another column the
inquire what ollicers of the U. S. Government,
held seats in the Legislature, contrary to our
State Constitution, we will say no more on that
subject, than sim ply to express our admiration of
the fidelity (to “the party") with which the said
committee discliarged the duties of their ap-
pointmcnt, and to felicitate them upon that hap-
py elasticity of conscience which enabled them
thus to reconcile their conduct with their oaths.
For a similar reason, we shall emit a particular
notice of the c.”c12c7zsc.s‘ ofthe session, only remark-
ing how well they accord with the professed love
of the said "'deriiocrac_y” for (the money of?) the
dear people. _
Among many other democratic measures
which were brouglit forward, and which, from
the manner in which they were “given the go
by” seemed particularly obnoxious to the majori-
ty, was a proposition so to amend the Constitu-
tion as to give the election of Justices of the
Peace to the people. ' One would think, to be-
sure, that a proposition to vest the appointing
power in the people themselves, instead of con-
fining it to the 7‘cpi'r2scntrrl.£vcs of the people,
iriust find favor with “the democracy." And
so it no doubt 1/roulrlj, if the question were left
with the cleniocracy to settle. But their 'repi'e-
scnlatitvcsliacl the handling of it, and decided
that under present circumstances, they could not
afford to divest tlicuiselves of any part of the
power or patronage which they possessed.-
doings ofthe committee who were appointed to
J
an
and every species of.~abuse. They are .now
cooling off. Their influence is departing from
theiii—their power is on the wane—thcy -feel
it—tliey know it. i
As a. desperate resort, they new claim that
the very existence of Democracy depends upon
sustaining them; and that i_f they fall, the lights
of the world, or that part of it, at least» Will be
extinguished.
Hearthe Senior Deacon (if the J unto, on this
subject. He says, speaking of the Juuto, “ They
lxrveiiideiitified the whole Democratic party with
them-—as being the sour. and nonv of the par-
tgff” What singular modesty ! What. sinceri-
fy ! when he knew, at the time of‘ making the
declaration, tliat: the people of all parties, were
~,dctermincd, at the first convenient opportunity,
to reduce themito the ran7t‘s.
For the Gazette.
Mr. Editor—A certain blustering young fel-
low here, is lashing liimsclfinto a great fever
on account ofthe meeting held on the 17th inst.,
to take into consideration the proceedings relat-
ing to our contested election, and has undertak-
en to ptiblish abroad a. false statement of what
was said at the nieetingiii reference to himself.
He was noticed at all, only by one gentleman
who addressed the meeting. And as the re-
marks were made to those who know him well,
and are universally admitted to be just——for the
purpose of placing liiiii before his fellow citizens
in his true colors, I send herewith, a correct re-
port so far as relates to hitn. CORRECTOR.
Danlmry, June 29, 1837.
. “Mr. Chairman——Auiong' those who have
made themselves conspicuous in depriving the
people of Danbury of a,Representative, is‘ the
young man who got up the petition ; who went
to'Hartford to advocate it, and boasted on his
return that he had inadee. two hours speech in
support of it. Sir, we all remembcrliow, when
he came here some two years since, he bluster-
cd, and spouted against Jackson, and Jackson-
nien, and Jacksonism, until the friends of the
cause he professed to advocate became heairtily
ashamed of him—.—-and that as soon as the pros-
pect of a vacancy in the officc_of Judge of Pro-
bate occurred, he suddenly turned his coat, for
the purpose of filling the office in his own per-
son. He is now clothed in the robes of‘ office;
and has become the Chief of the Post-Otfice-
Juiito. I can compare him to-ncilliing so fitly,
as to the BULL FROG in the Fable. 'Like him,
the Frogtliouglit. liimscifa wonderful charactt_3r—
and he swelled—and swclled_—and swellcd¥—un-
til he became a truly great Frog. But, atlengtli,
he burst—-and behold, he was filled with nothing
but VVIN D.”
They ll10Ugl‘l upon the whole, that they could
judge bettcrin relation to the wants and wishes
ofthe people, than the people themselves could ;
and inasmuch as they could appoint one another
justices, and had already created a batch of one
advisable to knock the proposed al1l€I'l(l[1']t'.‘llt‘0f
the constitution in the head, without even giving
the people the trouble to say whether they ap-
proved it or not. This was democracy with a
it was only being consistent
vengeance I, but
consislency. \Ve
with their whole system of in
hope to publish soon, the debate on this subject,
and shall therefore suspend further remarks upon
it.
\Ve have thus very briefly noticed a few of
the iuany failures of our last Legislature to sus-
tain the measiires to which “the great body of
the democracy” was pledged. Thus far we
have looked only at their omission to do, what it
wastliciracknowledgcd duty to have done. And
these are sins not of-neglect nloiic. Every meas-
ure upon which we have rciriarked, was brought
up in a tangible shape before the august hotly
upon whose doings we have been commenting,
made the subject of distinct and separate action;
and the votes ofthe self-styled “ c[c)izocr(c.'.s,” are
recorded thereupon. Tliey——-these “democrats”
