Jackson Meeting at Chrsstiunu. Our friend,
nave already seen the advertisement for meeting
on Saturday the 2lst inst, at Christiana. anJ
least they should not all of them be sufficiently
impressed with the Importance Of the present oc.
caslon, we think proper to endeavor to stir up the
pure mind in them. so that the meeting may dis.
play the same bold phalanx Of freemeu, that dis
t'nguished the one held there in September last.
The present contest has swallowed up the old
distinctions of party. it has brought men to act
together, that have been political opponents al
ways before, and has thrown into the same ranks
those of every former diversity Of opinion. Ia
rllt and anti-tarilf men are seen engaged on the
same SIDE and SO much does its Importance al,
sorb all minor considerations, that slight shades
OF difference in sentiment on the secondary OBJ
Jects Of general policy are not deemed sufficient
to Interfere with the great question that now Gu
cages their attention. Selfish considerations form
no part OF the motives to action each man is de-
voted to the Cause, on account of its being found
ed on principle that has borne the test of the
biterest persecution, ~ d has stood firm amid the
torrent Of libeous publications that has inundated
the country.
One great reason why the Jackson party should
be industrious and punctua to its meetings. is that
we have tie most Jealous and untiring opponents
to contend with, men that lose nothing for want Of
cxertion, and who are ..instant in season and out
Of season." Eut that which is paramount to all
others Isl that theirs is the of the people, and
whenever meeting is called for any party pur
poses, tie people in the district ought to attend it.
and see that their own business is properly done
When so much is at stake, as is now involved in
tlis contest, when liberty, life, and the republican
institutions OF tile country, the prizes that we
are contendlng to preserve, it marks the contest
as being one between the people themselves and
those who seek to carry away the objects conterd
cd for. The people therefore are called upon tc
keep this subject always IN view, and let the feaI
Of the dreadful consequences that might arise from
failure, spur them to inde!atigable exertion.
There is no place, save at the election polls
where the voice of the people is more eHectual,
listened to and obeycd, than in the primary meet
ings Of the party, where the arrangements fo
forming tickets and the general plan of opera
tions are to be agreed upon. 1t is here that every
mans opinions are duly estimated, here that every
man audably displays the devotion to the cause
he advocates. At the Christiana meeting ther
will strike intimidation into the ranks Of our op
ponents, as will show that the Jackson men, con-
scous that their cause is the cause Of the people
and the country, are resolved to maintain it, are
resolved to rally round the constitutions preserve
it in its purity, and transmit the blessings that
they enjoy under it to posterity.
At the approaching meeting much business OF
Importance must necessarily come before it, bust
ness not important merely to this county, which
is always safe for the people, but business mpor-
tant to the whole state. 1t is possible that upon
the deliberations of that day, and upon the course
determined upon, the election of the state may
depend. Is not this then consideration sutii-
cient to influence every man to do his duty, to
turn out and be on the ground at an early hour,
and by his prompt punctual!ty give an earnest Of
future cxerton.
