 Gen''em"n-! regret that ny abse"ce !" the cOuU. Try dcla, until yesterday the receipt your tavOr of lhe 20 inst. inviting the "Democrafic Festival !" be given at E"h"tain Green On the 4Ih Juy next" u would afford me high gra6ca.ion unite wilh my fellow citizens Oi the city of Philadelphia and its c'nIly, If the objects which, yOU inform me, are "V0 bring together those democrats, who have been for some time divided tn their choice of men, in union anu hrmony, to reSusciIale the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson, to prnrlaIm an aversion to worship, aud !o establish principles the only safe standard, Sr." O"r own reAecton and the examples of hissGt- v should convince that free government can be sustained where men are substituted for principles.- It we are incapable O receiving instruction from example we must profit by the republics of past ases wh'cM have been overhrOwN by Rn aband0nmeui -of principle and blind adherence to men. We are such selfish beings that either through inrmi,y or detvat- ny we are always liable ,o err. principle which may he denounced ,o-,lay, may shortly become the test ot political orthodoxy, aud lhns all ;he great movements ot the government may depend apc9 the wh'm or caprice '" an indyiinal who hhnseif any be the miserable nsnment of political jugglers. This IS the government O( aO absolute monarchy, hY what. ever name II may he caieh.
 IL is jass and profoan> observation saiachaSel, "hat ihe real powers of gorer0Eacnt are toae.ime1 contracted to narrower I,OiHt R republics than is Rsonarcies," He who has no. seen this tendency iA republican, governments, has proGteile by the ghw of history or rexbePieNce.
 In the days of Jeferson Madison and Monroe. tpho ever heard of Je ferson men, Madison mcn, or Mon! roe men! Parties were known by the rincin,es which they ad7ocated, and they formed ihe rule by which men were judged. And If we wish to preserve our government, we must get back again the eand ard "prneipes which were then proicssed and main ,ained. a

If he shall be sup- ported by only when he s right the party must soom fnr nAghe haiN tho nnv rats lying point, whenever the party shall fail justify and s"s"" all his ac's i loses it's appropriate desg0alioM an" must dissolve is therefore as necessary 10 sp- port the chiefot party, thus organized when he is wrong when he Is right.
 But this is not the case where party is organized 'n reference to principles which vital to n free government. On these the standard is planted, and hy these are all the members of the party from ihe highest to the loves, judged. A parry with such basis, and with intelligence, virtue and patriotism to direc. il. mast always be impregnabe. speak oG nc sectional party hut o one devoted the grea, princ- lies of republican goternment and @fiek views men, however exalted by their talents ant public services. as their ageNtS [" act for the welfare of the whole UH ion. have the honor ,O he, with greatfssp
